State Highway Department To
Make Survey Of County Roads
State Highway Director Perry T.
Ford today granted
a 90-day “mor­
atorium” on the recently-tightened
truck
overweight and oversize
regulations issued by the State
Highway Department.
The decision to grant the “mor
atorium” was reached after two
meetings with protesting haulers
affected by the regulations and by
the mounting shortage of freight
cars. The second meeting was held
in Director Ford’s office yesterday.
The director also announced that
his department would make a sur
vey during the next 90 days in
every one of the state’s 88 counties
to determine the type of hauling
that originates from Ohio manu
facturers, dealers, and any other
heavy-load users of the state’s
highways. The present regulations
will be reviewed after the survey
is completed and the findings of
the survey will be incorporated in
new regulations which will go into
effect about January 1, 1947. Mr.
Ford said.
All the affected haulers attend
ing yesterday’s meetings agreed
with the Highway Department
that the war-loosened restrictions
should be tightened. Director Ford
said. They requested a transition
period, however. They also agreed
that during this 90-day period all
requests for overweight or over
size loads should be screened care
fully by the Highway Department
and that permits should be issued
only where the type of load and
condition of road warrant and
where an emergency exists.
Director Ford said the chief rea
son for granting the 90-day “mor
atorium” was the shortage of rail
road freight cars which has be
come acute since the recent new
overload regulations were written.
It would be impossible for con
struction of roads and private pro
jects to proceed during the re
mainder of the construction season
if heavy equipment cannot travel
by rail, the director pointed out.
The director said that a recent
business publication predicted a
weekly freight car shortage of
75.000.
Farm Bureau Announces
Legislative Program
Setting its gear for action during
the next legislative session of the
General Assembly and the U. S.
Congress, the Ohio Farm Bureau
announced a 10-point program to
day which is aimed at bettering
conditions on Ohio farms, accord
ing to D. R. Stanfield, assistant
legislative director of the organiza
tion.
The program favors enactment
of legislation improving rural
schools, expansion of cooperatives,
improved rural health services,
better farm marketing conditions,
a national fertilizer program, ex
tension of REA lines, conservation
of natural resources, improved
rural telephone service, regulation
of strip mining, and the expansion
of foreign trade.
At the same time, legislative de
partment officials are urging the
farmers to study the mnirn ol
candidate 5 before voting in the fall
election. “All records snow the
fighting i ep resenta ion given the
farmers’ cause in both state and
national capitals by the• Ohio and
the American Farm Bui eau Feeler
ation” St,anfield stated. Voting re
cords of the Ohio de egation in
Washingtin on major 1 arm iss ties
are beimI mailed Far Bui eau
members. Similer facts arc bi■ing
prepared about the reco ds of s 111
senators and representstives.
“The I•’arm Bureau has n ver
engaged in partisan polities and
does not back candidates,” Stan
field said, but we do urge every
farmer to talk with his repre-enta
tives. and to study the voting re
cords where they can be had.
Where there is no voting record,
we must judge candidates on the
basis of past statements and opin
ions. Most representatives welcome
an intelligent interest on the part
of voters and want to serve the
best interest of the people they
represent.
Councils Discuss
Depression Possibility
Whether there will be another
depression or not. County Farm
Bureau Advisory Councils over the
state have been discussing the
possibility, Harry Culbreth, organ
ization director of the Ohio Farm
,Bureau, Columbus, reports.
Nearly 6,000 farmer-members of
these neighborhood discussion
groups, who feel that there will be
a national “bust.” after the present
“boom days” are over, outlined
eight methods in which farmers
can meet the situation: 1. Pay off
debts. 2. Study ami adopt efficient
farm practices. 3. Do not go into
debt. 4. Do not buy more farm
land. 5. Do without non-essentials.
6. Market cooperatively. 7. Invest
igate before investing in stocks,
etc. 8. Build up farm land.

Price Is Big Factor
In Farm Prosperity
Farm income is the product of
total farm goods multiplied by the
price per unit but a comparison
of the parts played by volume
of goods and by the prices received
for them indicates to rural econom
ists at Ohio State University that
god times for farmers are much
more a matter of price than of big
crops and large herds.
From 1915 to 1919, total U. S.
farm income rose 180 per cent but
farm production went up only
about 25 per cent. That is one of
the periods which the rural econo
mists point out as illustrating the
relative importance of prices as
compared with volume of products
sold.
Another convincing mass of evi
dence is contained in the records
for the years 1930-32, when farm
income in the U. S. dropped almost
60 per cent although the volume
of farm goods sold went up slightly
in the same three years. From 1932
to 1937, U. S. far income rose more
than 90 per cent although the
amount of farm goods sold in
creased only a little over 25 per
cent.
In 1945, total income of farmers
of this nation was almost two and
one-half times as great as the an
nual average in the period 1910-14,
but agricultural production in 1945
was up only about 70 per cent
above the average per year for
1910-14. There has been an almost
constant slow upward trend in
farm production since 1915 but
farm income has swung in wide
see-saws up and down.
The University rural economists
say that Ohio farmers have some
advantage over producers in some
other areas, because Ohio cities
provide local markets for lots of
farm goods. Prices for farm goods
on these Ohio markets do not fall
quite as low as at places where
all produce has to be shipped long
distances.
