The steady growth of the old-agd

reflected in the year-by-year in

workers who have accumulated
wage credits toward possible bene

figure stood at 32,800,000 persons
by 1940 it had increased to 44,800

to 73,200,000.
As in all parts of the nation, com

in the Zanesville area qualified for
benefits in 1940, the first year in
which they were payable. A total of
4942 men, women and children in
the Zanesville area are receiving

“More than 2,500 persons

he said, “with more than 6,000 cases
reported. Eighty-five per cent of
these cases were in the low income
group of our population and were
unable to pay for proper treatment.
Much can be done to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis to other per

The agricultural department’s al
location announcement said that it
appears “unlikely that any increases
in rationing will be made prior to
April 1, 1947 when the size of the
crops will be more definately estab

Cuba and Puerto Rico will be ar

Further tests of fertilizer place
ment on corn indicate considerable
increases in yield if part or all the
fertilizer is placed alongside the
rows instead of being plowed down.
Corn roots do not get down to plow
depth until some week after plant
ing time.
Texas wheat growers will plant
about 500,000 acres of the new rust
resistant Austin wheat next spring.
The variety not only will improve
Texas wheat yields but will reduce
production of rust spores which
might be carried by winds to wheat
fields in states north of the Texas
border.
Trials at the U. S. Dept, of Agri
culture field station, Huntley, Mon
tana, indicate dairy cows produce
more milk when kept in a pen barn
than when confined in stanchions.
Pen barns require more beddings
than is used with cows in stanchions
but less cleaning is needed in the
pen barn. The milk increase in pen
barns was accredited to more com
fort for cows.
