Although the farm popula-
ton across the nation is de-
Ginning steadily, farm produc-
ton continues to increase, q
tribute to the high efficiency
of the American farmer.
Farm population stands to-
day at approximately ten mill
ion or about six per cent of the
total population here in t h e
United States, agricultural in
dustry researchers say. How
ever, out of the 62 million per-
sons employed in the work
force, four out of ten, 25 mill
ion persons, are employed
somewhere in agricultural in
dustry.
Breaking this down, six mil
lion produce for service farm
ers, another nine million pro-
cess or distribute farm prod
ucts. A quarter of a million
research scientists work on
products related to agriculture.
Looking at another aspect of
agriculture, the average value
of assets per farm on a national
basis is S41,500. Average in
Vestment per paid farm worker
is $25, 900. compared to $4,000
invested by industrial workers.
Farmers are the biggest Gus
toner Of industry. Annually
they Use so million tons Of
chemicals, enough steel to man
ufacture 44,300 automobiles
which is still over half tn
total annual automobile pro
duction, enough rubber to put
tires annually on six million
cars, and as al industry agri-
culture is the largest single
user of industrial products.
Research in agricultural ed
vocational programs have con-
tributed 10 the American farm
ers' increasingly high efficien-
cy. Farmers today are produ-
cling beautifully for a popula-
lion 80 per cent greater than in
1910, or in other words are pro-
ducing so per cent more prod
ucts and doing it on virtually
the same amount of land t h a
was in production prior to
World War II.

1t doesn't take much to upset
the residents of quiet Scioto
ave, north of Hayden-but a
bird that flew some coop was
just TOO much for the usually
calm neighborhood.
1t started $50 last Thursday
when Mrs. Nike Proios, 14117
Scioto bid her husband good
bye as he left for work. As she
watched him drive off she
noticed this strange creature
on the top Of her garage.
At that time. it was raining
quite heavily-the weather not
fit for man nor beast-nOr
fowl for that matter.
However, being busy house
wife, Mrs. Proios had for the
moment other thoughts than
the welfare of fine feathered
friend. Thus, few hours
had passed before she again
looked out her back door-to
find to her amazement the un-
usual species (for city folks,
anyway of bird still in the
same spot.
Neighbors Are Worried
Concerned wrinkled the brow
of kind Mrs. Proios and she
Immediately summoned her
neighbor, Mrs. Ronald Little,
14117 Scioto. The immovable
object also worried Mrs. Little.
Both discussed the matter,
first trying to figure out what
type of fowl had we here. 1t

long with a beak at least six
inches and long spindly legs
Was this something danger
Gus to the multitude of young
sters in the area was the
first thought of the mothers.
Appears in Trouble
They also felt some concern
for the mysterious visitor, as
it certainly gave the impression
of being in some kind of
trouble.
So the two fine ladies took
a course that many do when
something unusual puzzles
them-they called in the gen
darmes.
Arriving on the scene were
Sgt. Robert J. Allen and Pa
trolmen Robert Calvert and
John R. Mcdonald. Now, while
these officers are fine police
men, they had no more idea

An orchid also went to Mrs.

than 5000 hours.

a crime scene project.
The East Cleveland team,
including Cleveland Heights
Patrolman James Divis, and
Mayfield Heights Patrolman
Gene Timbers, arranged a hy-
pothetical victim Of a stabbing

This exercise required the
five man team to carry out a
complete investigation, sub

prints, submitting casts and
moulages, and other evidence,
all properly marked and pack

NC Has 10 Days to Act
On Filthy Track Area

The New York Central Rail
road has approximately 10 days
to report back on what l.;
called the "filthy condition" of
it's property along the tracks.
Actually, the carrier hasn't
much choice as City Manager
G. T. Apthorp, in a meeting
Tuesday with two NYC repre-
sentatives, asserted he had made
it very clear that something
must be done.
The meeting was a closed
section with only the railroads S
division engineer, division sup
erintendent, Fire Chief Fred
Lange and Sanitarian Stanley
Sleiko in attendance.
According to Apthorp, the
railroad men begged off i'm
mediate action because they
were "new to the area" having
been transferred to Cleveland
from Chicago and were not
familiar with the problems in
volved.
Budget Problems
They also claimed budgetry
problems might make cleaning
up a little difficult.
Nevertheless, Apthorp stat
ed he will not soften his attitude
as he accused NYC Of being very
lax in taking care of its prop
erty.
Involved is over four miles
Of right of way that is cluttered
with dried-up branches, shrub
berry and refuse that are both
fire and health hazards.
In the past year, the city
manager revealed, there were
% brush fires on NYC property.
Slejko claims that the brush
and refuse are ideal breeding
spots for rodents.
Apthorp declared that if the
railroad doesn't act within a
reasonable length of time, he
will use the authority granted
him by ordinance and have city
personnel clean up the "mess."
Then he plans to bill the rail
road for the cost.
Sees Court Action
He felt that this would in
volve court action to collect
the fee, but stated there would
be no other alternative.
"The situation is getting
worse" he said, "and we will
make no exception to our de-
mands or settle for halfway
measures"
Apthorp felt that all the
blame should not be cast on.
NYC as the city might be at
fault, somewhat, for not get
ting tougher before.
Also on the carpet are the
New York, Chicago and st.
Louis Nickel Plate) Railroad
and the Cleveland Transit Sys-
tenn for the debris on their
property along the tracks.
SIejkO Can Handle
However, according to APP
thorp, the situation isn't as
bad on these rightaways, so
Slejko is expected to confer
with officials of these firms
on the problems.
Apthorp pointed out that the
most important consideration.
with the Nickel Plate and CTS
is that there have been no
brush fires on their properties.
A spokeman for the NYC had
stated that his railroad will
take every step to clean up the
area
More than likely, the railroad
has a few weeks to fulfill this
pledge.
