TALKS with voters, by comm
issioners, seem to indicate mai
ority opposition to any county
tax levy.
The commissioners themselv-
es refused to take a stand either
way on a SPECIAL election at their
meeting this week They tabled
all further discussion to t h e ir
next regular meeting, which viii
be held on March 2.
(Their previous schedule, when
they were thinking in terms of
putting a tax levy up for a spec
ial vote, was vote approve the
vote the last week in February
so the election would be h e Id
before school is out. Election
must be held between 80 and 100
days after the question is certi-
fled to the board of elections.)
Commissioners are unhappy
about what they claim is t h
voters refusal to approve any
except school tax levies and bond
issues.
They say funds for other gov
ernmental operations are needed
too, and cited money required
for police protection and the hi
CHER than usual funds w h / C h
will ><e necessary to repair and
maintain the county's road sys-
tenn this spring.
Some hopes are still being pi-
nned on the Fee bill", which
is now before the Ohio legislat-
ure, which, if approved without
too many restrictive amendme-
nts, would increase revenue to
the county by upping fees asses
sed to taxpayers seeking special
services.
However, it has been reported
to commissioners that the school
lobby (Ohio Education Associa-
tom in Columbus is opposing
the passage of this bill.
In commenting on the letters
received from county political
organiZa< <ons, giving their stand
on the proposed tax levy, Comm
ission Chairman James 1. Hunt
said they had cleft all doors op-
en-, to which Commissioner Ed
win T. Hofstetter added, "or, at
least unlocked.
The letters which are ar
from the definite committal of
support which the commission
ers had probably hoped for,
are.
FROM THE DEMOCRATS
1.-THE executive committee of
the Geauga County Democratic
Party are very grateful for
having been invited into the dis
cussion of the financial situation
in Geauga County on Feb. 9, 1859
at the Courthouse. AS it develop
ed, the objective of that meeting
was to obtain support for an op-
Grating levy, which the commits
sioners proposed to submit to the
electorate in the near future. To
the best of our knowledge the
passage of such a levy would
establish a precedent in Geauga
County. This is a matter merit
ing serious consideration.
ITO reach an intelligent con-
clusion as to the necessity of a
special levy, more extensive
study of recent fiscal history
would seem to be in order.
ITO formulate policies for a
political party is one thing, to
dictate or to speak for the en-
tire party in matters which af-
feet every private individual as
a taxpayer is a concern which
the Democratic Party would
prefer to leave to the individuals
discretion.

are concerned with the welfare
of our county and its people. We

bales lend themselves to com
plete mechanization with eleva.
tors and NOW conveyors.
While this system is new
here, there are experiments un.
derway to see if perhaps even
smaller bales might not be prac.
tical. Regardless of what engin.
eers find out, the practical val
ue of today's small bales al.
ready has been proved.
Because interest in pellet.

it's worth while to take close
look at these ideas, too.
Test reports are coming out
thick and fast-so fast, in fact
many people are swimming in
confusion.
Perhaps it's time to stop and
review the facts.
Fact Before pelleting OF
watering can become practical
for the average farmer, a way
must be found to give him an
economical field machine of ad-
equate capacity.
Fact 2-Pelleting and wafer
ing machines require high pres
sures and, as a result, have high
power requirements.
Fact 3-High-powered ma
chimes are likely to be fairly
heavy and expensive.
Fact 4-Heavy machines have
some drawbacks in the field.
Take maneuverability, for ex-
ample. Following windrows with
a heavy machine might be a
tough assignment for farmers
with uneven fields and sharp
corners to turn.

Hiss is two to five days ear
lier than Dorman and is more
resistant to major leaf diseases
and to lodging, Springer said.
1t also has out-yielded Dorman
six to eight percent in field
tests.
1t has exhibited resistance to
common root knot nematode,
Phytophthora rot and has been
free from purple seed stain un-
der conditions where some var
ieties suffered over so percent
from seed stain, Springer said.
Springer said the Hill has
been tested at about 80 spots
in the several states during the
past four years. 1t is similar
to the Lee variety in appearance
and performance. 1t is 81 to 28
days earlier in maturity than

1t is comparable to Lee in

tance to the major foliar di-

Soil Is Problem

In addition, there's the prob.

Fact 5-Even field pelleting
or watering may not be toe

Fact 6-For the majority OF
farmers, pellets and waters are
still expensive ways to feed.
Fact Feeding Underground

Fact 8-Dairymen will fine
baled hay gives just as good
production as either pellets OF

Fact 9-Pellets do have ad

tritional value of pellets ano

and it's considered especially
useful for dairymen who milk
IA or fewer cows, says county
agent George Vapaa.
1t is a pretty simple system
he explained.
"The dairyman weighs the
milk of each cow, morning and
night, one day a month and
enters the figures on form
supplied him." MIR. Vapaa said.
He makes a record of the
dates each COW freshens and
goes dry, as we'll as purchases,
sales and deaths of cows. He
may also include feed records.
Then the dairyman mails the
forms to a central computing
service where records are cal
culated and returned every
month.
Mr.. Vapaa said no butterfat
samples are taken. The average
butterfat production of the herd
is on the milk check.
This system gives the dairy
man the information he needs
to Gull low producing animals
and select the best broodcows
as we'll as helping him to do a
better job of feeding each COW
according to her ability to pro-
duce. Contact the county Exten-

Keep Birds Cool
Poultrymen Told

Are your chickens as hot and
uncomfortable as you are in this
warm, humid, summer wealth.
er? Probably they are says
county agricultural agent, Geor.
| ge Vapaa.
Here are a few suggestions
that may help:
() Sweep dirt from window
screens to permit free circula.
ton of air.
(2) Remove windows and the
doors for greater air movement
(3) Clean out the wet spots
that produce ammonia fumes
and make it uncomfortable for
both you and the birds.
(4) Be sure you have enough
waterers.
(5) White wash or aluminium
paint on the roof will lower
the inside temperature as much
as eight degrees.
(6) Do rigid culling job now
so the remaining birds will have
more room and more air.
(O If the mash and grain
feeding program is followed, it
might be a good idea to cut
down on the amount of grain.
(8) Cut tall grasses and weeds
from around the poultry house
so air can circulate.
