Announce Top
Ten Tomato
Club Winners

Two Williams county families
have been named winners in the
1859 Ohio Top Ten Tomato club,
E. c. Wittmeyer, Ohio State Uni
versity extension horticulturist,
has announced.
Jerry L., Ronald S., and Joe
S. Wyse won in the class for
growers having three to Is acres,
and ElWood c. and Guy o. Gra-
Der won in the class for growers
having over Is acres. Both fam
lilies are from the Stryker COM
munity. They grew their toma-
toes under contract for the
Campbell Soup Company of
Napoleon, Ohio. Jerry and Rom
aid Wyse are grandsons of Joe
Wyse. ElWood Graber is the son
of Guy GRADER.
The Wyses had an adjusted
yield of 1884 tons per acre on
6.2 acres and the GRADERS an
adjusted yield of $3.50 tons per
acre on 1872 acres. Yields of club
members are adjusted on the

duce their high yields, Wittmeyer
said. The average yield for all
growers in Ohio in 1859 was 1873
tons, the highest since records

I pany o3-cOunty service territory
during 1859. The industries
which will have combined annual
payrolls of $9,400,000, will pro-
vide jobs for about 1850 per-
sons.
Not to be overlooked" Mr.
Prentice pointed out, sis the
fact that these manufacturing
jobs will create a demand for
many additional jobs in the re-
tail trade, services and profess
Sional fields. Recent studies in
dicate that 100 new manufacture
ing jobs result in a total employ
ment increase of 174 due to the
greater load on services type
industries.
"Significant is the fact that the
new industries came to Ohio
Power territory during a year in
which many arrangements were
deferred from expansion because
of the scarcity end high cost OF
mortgage money for plant invest
ment and because cf the indus
trial showdown resulting from
the prolonged steel strike"
The industries decisions to
choose Ohio Power territory were
largely the result Of the coopera-
tive action Of the Ohio Power
Area Development Section and
its field management working
with local and regional groups
seeking new industries,
Last years additions to our
territory boosted to 233 the num-
Der of new industries attracted
to our service area since the
company's area development pro-
gram got underway IS years
ago." the general manager said.
The 233 firms have provided
direct employment for about
$4,000 people and their annual
combined payrolls exceed $780,
| 100000.
Besides attempting to attract
new industries to its territory,
Ohio Powers development acti-
vitieS have the additional objec-
tive of fostering community i'm
| provement programs that will
make the communities better
able to attract and accommodate
new businesses, Mr.. Prentice eX-
| planned.
