County Farmers* Income Dollar
Now Biggest In The Entire Nation
Noble county farmers are better
off,
marketwise, than at any other
time in history. But things are not
going to stay that way.
This is the opinion of Lyle H.
Barnes, farm management special
ist, Columbus, who discussed re
cently the farm outlook for 1947.
Farmers are now getting $1.37 for
the goods they sell compared with
the $1 they pay for the goods they
buy.
"But the prices farmers receive
will level off soon and start down
ward while the prices they pay for
things they buy will continue up
ward”, Mr. Barnes warned. "That
means a lower net income for the
farmer—probably beginning in the
fourth quarter of 1947”.
Farmers are advised to trim pro
duction of corn and oats and to in
crease production of soybeans and
to maintain production of that dur
ing the 1947 growing season.
Hog marketings are expected to
decline shortly after the first of the
year but despite this, prices may be
lower. It was pointed out that "65
cents a pound bacon” will turn con
sumers away from pork. It may
mean lower hog prices.
Farmers are advised to "force”
feed early spring pigs and get them
to market early next fall to beat an
anticipated decline in hog prices.
Slightly higher prices can be ex
pected for eggs in the first half of
1947 with the net available supply
3 to 5 percent below the first half of
this year.
Heavier plantings of soybeans
were advised in face of the prospect
that available supplies of fats and
oils will be far below expected de
mand. This situation is expected to
remain until normal imports of fats
and oils resume in volume.
Barnes also pointed out that the
outcome of labor-management rela
tions within the next six months
will determine to a large extent
"how well the nation and state as a
whole survive the current infla
tions.”
It was pointed out that only 17
percent of the total working force
is employed in heavy industry 83
percent are engaged in consumer
trades and services. That means
that if prices are pushed to a point
where the 83 percent can’t pay
them, buying will slow down, pro
duction will decrease and unem
ployment will be the result.

THE JOURNAL CALDWELL OHIO
Loan Provides Floor
For 1946 Corn Crop
floor
Ohio farmers can put a
price under their 1946 corn crop
through the corn loans offered by
the Production and Marketing Ad
ministration and Richard G. Hand
ley, supervisor of this loan program
in Ohio, says the loan rate runs
from $1.17 a bushel in western Ohio
counties to $1.24 a bushel in the
eastern counties.
In spite of a small carryover from
the 1946 corn crop, total corn sup
plies now are at an almost record
level. Cornbelt farmers have from 10
to 15 per cent more corn available
per animal unit than was in sight
at this time last year. The 1946 corn
crop is huge and the number of
livestock on farms has been reduced.
Mr. Handley explains that this
year’s corn loan is available on any
corn grown in 1946 in states where
farm storage is feasible. Loans will
be available any time until August
1, 1947. Corn producers who will
change farms before the next crop
season can buy corn, store it on the
new farm, and obtain a loan upon
it.
Corn to be eligible for a loan must
grade No. 3 or better, or No. 4, on
test weight only. It must be stored
in cribs which will protect it from
the weather. Mr. Handley says that
farm storage in Ohio must be in
cribs six feet or less in width in the
north half of

will pay a
service fee of one and one-half cents
a bushel, with a minimum charge of
$3.00. The interest rate is 3 per cent.
The borrower makes good any loss
in quantity or quality of corn under
loan and the loan plus interest must
be paid before September 1, 1947,
or the corn must be delivered to
the Commodity Credit Corporation
before October 31, 1947.
State Highway
Approves Projects
post­
Ohio’s original 1947 (second
war year) Federal-aid primary
highway program, including Noble
county, has been approved by the
Public Roads administration, it was
announced today by State highway
director Perry T. Ford.
The approved program includes
one state-wide highway planning
survey project and 18 construction
projects, with a total estimated cost
of $9,283,748.
Plans for these projects are under
way, Director Ford said, and the
highway department hopes to have
them ready for sale by the time the
Legislature provides matching
funds. The jobs were programmed
before state funds were available so
that Ohio would not lose its share
of the Federal post-war highway
program funds.
Additional 1947 primary projects
to use up the full amount of Fed
eral-aid money are under design but
were withheld from the program
until it is determined that the price
trends will allow their accomplish
ment within the allotted funds.
Egg Price Balances
Rise In Feed Cost
Egg prices have held strong
enough to keep the egg-feed ratio
at a level almost as good as at this
time in 1945. C. M. Ferguson, spec
ialist in poultry husbandry, says
the big problem now in feeding lay
ers is to keep the protein in the
total ration high enough to main
tain high average egg production.
High protein supplements still are
scarce and the price is up, but lay
ing hens need 15 to 16 per cent of
protein in their ration. Poultrymen
who feed a 20 per cent mash should
keep the amount of grain fed about
equal pound for pound to the mash.
That will give a 15 to 16 per cent
protein level in the total ration.
Mashes which contain less than
20 per cent protein will require the
poultry man to cut down the propor
tion of grain fed, or egg production
may drop. With mashes which run
from 24 to 32 per cent protein, grain
may be fed free choice to the layers.
One method of cutting down the
cost of protein in poultry rations is
to give the flock bright green alfalfa
hay. The hay will contain 16 or

more per cent of protein, and the
amount of protein will be even
greater if only alfalfa leaves are
fed. Feeding alfalfa hay also reduces
feather picking and cannibalism.
Lights in the poultry house should
be turned on if they have not al
ready been used. December brings
the shortest periods of natural day
light and the layers need more feed
ing time for high egg production.
Lights stimulate winter egg produc
tion but do not increase the total
number of eggs laid by a hen dur
ing a year.
Deep litter on the poultry house
floor will save trouble and work.
The litter should be six to 18 inches
deep and should be built up with
new material when needed to keep
it dry. Straw', ground corn cobs, or
shavings are excellent material for
litter.
