Compromise BY
House And Senate
May Save Soil Bank

The fate Of the soil bank pro-
gram Is still uncertain, but it APP
pears that the Senate and House
may get together and work out a
modified arrangement to Keep the
program alive through 1853.
In May the House of Repre-
sentatives voted no funds for the
soil bank for 1858 and as far as
they were concerned it was dead
at the end Of this year.
In June the Senate authorized
the obligation of 500 million dol
lars of soil bank payments to
farmers in 1858.
Committees of the Senate and
House met recently in a closed
door hearing and reports indicate
that they have agreed to keep
the soil bank program alive in
spite of the earlier death-dealing
vote by the House. The comprO-
mise proposal must still be ac-
cepted by the House, which will
probably consider it when it re-
turns from the July holiday.
the payment figure for the soil
bank this year is $500 million.
The Senate bill appropriated
1868 .972,l57 for agriculture in
1857. The final figures will have
to await passage by both the
house and the Senate, but it APP
pears tfsat a compromise has been
reached,

EDITOR ON MAIN STREET

AShtaula, Cleveland, and other
settlements along the lake found
it necessary to travel all the
way to Warren (Trumbull'S S
county seat) to transact their
business, after Geauga County
was formed they had to travel
only as far as Chardon.
But even the shorter distance
to Chardon was difficult for some
of Geauga County'S pioneer res
identS. Not to their liking were
the long trips through the wild
erneSS which those living in the
extreme fringe areas of the
county had to make to record
a property deed.
Those who did the most COM
planning, at least according to
Historian Johnson, were the res
idents of the thriving young lake
port village of Cleveland.
Chardon as a county seat,
Johnson wrote, ". was still
very unsatisfactory to the peo-
pie near the mouth of the Cuya-
hoga, who were patiently expect

FOR FIVE YEARS people
from Cleveland had to journey
to Chardon to pay their real
estate taxes, according to his
torical records, and they didn' t
like it at all.
1t all came about when, on
Dec. 81, 1905, the Ohio Legisla-
ture passed an act creating, out
of a portion Of the Connecticut
Western Reserve, the county of
Geauga. The act went into eff
feet the following March /.
Trumbull County, out of which
Geauga was carved, was the
first county in the Western Re-
serve. Geauga was the second
This new county included most
all of what is now Ashtabula,
Lake, Cuyahoga and Geauga
Counties.
"The seat of justice of the
new county was fixed at Char
don, where it is still located" 1"

wrote in 1879.

ing a great city to grow up at
that point, and thought it incon-
sistent with the general fitness
of things that they should journ-
ey nearly 80 miles to an interior
village to settle their quarrelS
or record their deeds.
$50 they made strenuous eff
forts to promote the organiZa-
ton of a county extending on
both sides of the Cuyahoga, the
natural focus of which should be
near the mouth of that stream.
1t was not long until the poll,

iSlative action, the county Of
Cuyahoga was created.
CriSfield JohnSon's story o.
ClevelanderS journeying to Char
don to pay their taxes from 1870!
to 1910 may be an academic one
for records also state that Char
don'S first permanent settlement
was not made until 1911 or 1912

many things have for which to give thanks. 1t would
not seem out of order to for consider and give
thanks for the better food enjoy today and the benefits
from it. ..-as 4 .sY
For example, the life span of country newspaper ed

this century I'll any part of the fortes again
and might hang around for quite while yet. The same
relative statistics hold true for you in your occupation
trade profession We living longer today than
before One of the reasons is the better diet enjoy today
When was boy an orange was great treat that we
expected to find in the bottom of stocking Christ
morning Today wide variety of fresh frozen and
canned citrus foods always available in almost every
home
My mother spent long hours every summer and fall
canning food for the winter She did good job but
remember that it pretty flat fare especially in Janu

Today for example, buy frozen Strawberries at
time of the that taste almost like those fresh
den picked.
Folks tried to store fruit the wnter-but it was
hard to find good apple after the first of the year
Today grocery store has fine selection of
almost garden fresh produce in the dead of winter
Aplanes and fast freight overnight fruit from the
