Clifty Creek and Kyger Creek,
which will be the largest power
plants ever built by private
industry when completed early
in 1956, are being constructed
by OVEC to supply all the trem
endous electric power require
ments of the Atomic Energy
Commission's new Portsmouth
(Ohio) Area Project.
The day's program at Kyger
creek included a guided tour of
the plant and grounds and a
luncheon at Washington high
school, attended by about 500
at Clifty creek, the tour was
followed by dinner at Madison
high school, attended by about
250. Speakers at the luncheon
and dinner were: Kenneth Dun
bar, manager of the AEC's Ports
mouth Area and Philip Sporn,
OVEC president. A brief press
conference followed their talks.
At Clifty Creek, the newsmen
saw two 215,000-kilowatt gen
erating units in operation and
four more of the same size under
construction adding up to a
total capacity of 1,290,000 kw
upon completion. And, at Kyger,
they inspected one unit of
215,000-kw capacity in operation
and four more being built a
total of 1,075,000 kw on comple
tion. These two plants not only
are the largest power plants ever
built by private industry, they
also are the two most efficient
plants ever built each capable
of producing one kilowatthour of
electricity on about .7 of a pound
of coal.
Speaking of coal, the newsmen
also saw great coal storage yards
and handling facilities capable of
feeding 7-%-million tons a year
into the two plants' boiler fur
naces. At Clifty Creek, two of
the plant's three poured-con
creted stacks were completed to
their full height of 682 feet
tallest stacks in the world at
Kyger Creek the first two stacks
were finished to their full height
of 538 feet.
Also of interest was the
330,000-volt switchyard- at each
plant, where begins the trans
mission of electricity via the
nation's highest-voltage lines to
the AEC progect in southern
Ohio.

Summer Prune
Biack Raspberries
For lop Yields
Prune black raspberries in
early summer when newly de
veloping canes are about 24
inches high, Vernon Patterson,
Ohio State University extension
horticulturist advises. He refers
to it as tipping.
Patterson recommends break
ing or cutting off abou 4 inches
of the tip of each cane. This en
courages branching on the rest
of the cane and increases yields.
Tipping also produces low
stocky plants that resist wind
and don't bend to the ground
with a heavy crop. Failure to
"tip" plants results in unwieldy,
top-heavy canes that damage
easily in the wind.
Growers who do a careful job
of pruning have to go over their
planting periodically to "tip"
canes as they develop. The fol
lowing spring they'll need to
shorten the lateral branches.
Purple raspberries are handled
the same as black raspberries
except they are allowed to grow
about 4 inches higher before
tipping. Red raspberries are not
summer pruned.
Oekakifig Turkey*
Offers 3 Advantages
In-braking uirkcv mlts offers
three advantages according to
tests at the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station, lt stops
cannibalism among birds, results
in better feed conversion and
gives marketable turkeys a
smoother, more uniform appear
ance.
V. D. Chamberlin of the sta
tion's poultry science department
says feed saving alone is reason
enough to practice debeaking.
The average saving for the entire
test was 0.2 pound per bird. De
beaked birds are not as selective
in their feeding habits, but in
stead will clean up a ration as
it is offered them. Moreover,
there is less tendency for a tur
key to waste feed when its beak
is trimmed.
The poultry specialist used an
electric debeaker in these tests.
This type has a cauterizing action
which makes it superior to using
a knife.
Best results were obtained
when poults were debeaked at
3 weeks of age. Although there
was no difference in performance
when poults were debeaked
earlier, Chamberlin states that
some birds react unfavorably to
debeaking if it is done* too soon
after hatching.

Is
Power Line Plus Use
Getting electricity to the farm
is only one step in farm electri
fication, according to I. P. Blaus
er, Ohio State University exten
sion agricultural engineer. Elec
trification is complete when
farmers use electricity in every
possible way to save labor and
increase production, he says.
The first survey of electricity
on Ohio farms in 1923 showed
17,000 farms were served by
Power lines. Now more than 98
percent of the state's 199,000
farms have power line service.
About half of these farms re
seive power from electric co
operatives and half from private
power commpanies.
Farm electrification has ex
panded fastest during the last
20 years. Rural Electrification
Administration, shortage of lab
or during the war, and higher
farm prices stimulated this
growth, Blauser states.
He believes full and efficient
use of electric service on farms
is just getting started. He says
new uses developed each year
offer unlimited opportunities for
farm electrification.
KNOW YOUR
ELECTION LAWS
Hy Ted W. Brown
Secretary of State of Ohio
The May Primaries, as in oth£r
past elections, brought to light
the difficulty with which the 88
county boards of elections are
faced in finding adequate and
readily accessible polling places.
As- the number of persons be
coming eligible to vote in Ohio
has increased, some of the pre
cincts have been divided and this
has meant establishing new poll
ing places.
The 100th General Assembly
took this problem into considera
tion making it compulsory that
public buildings be made avail
able for voting purposes.
To make it easier for boards
to get polling places which must
be rented from individual own
ers, many of whom worried
about their personal liabilities if
an election official or a voter
was injured on their premises,
the General Assembly provided
another remedy. Boards were
permitted to purchase liability
insurance.
The Secretary of State's office
and the boards have given this
problem much thought and great
progress has been made in solv
ing it.
Administrators of public build
ings, such as schools, fire engine
houses, municipal buildings, etc.,
have been, for the most part,
cooperative and both the boards
of elections and the officials
charged with the responsibility
of operating these buildings are
to be congratulated upon the
give-and-take attitude they have
assumed in these matters.
As more and more counties in
Ohio have adopted county-wide
registration or registration has
become compulsory in parts of
the ^county, the past date of May
14 becomes important to voters
in those areas.
May 14 was the date when
registration for the November
General Election was resumed,
following the Primaries.
At the risk of perhaps con
fusing those who live in precincts
where registration is not requir
ed (if you are not certain, call
your Board of Elections) we will
discuss registration in this
article.
First, registration does not
close until September 28, but
now is a good time to become
eligible to vote, avoiding the
rush or the probability of forget
ting it.
Registration in Ohio is per
manent and it is not necessary
to register again before an elec
tion unless a person has moved,
changed his or her name, or has
failed to vote at least once with
in the past two calendar years.
A great many persons who
voted in the last Presidential
election have now become in
eligible to vote in 1955 because
they have failed to vote at an
election since that time and have
not registered since their failure
to vote for the two calendar
years.
There will be considerable
stress on registration before the
September 28 deadline. This
early reminder is given in ad
dition to other articles which
may be' addressed td this sub
ject later.

An important provision of the
1954 social security amendments
concerns the so-called "dis
ability freeze." It is important
to know that this feature does
not provide for cash disability
payments. It simply means that
under the new law if you be
came totally disabled and the
disability is expected to be of
long—continued and indefinite
duration, you can apply to have
your earnings record "frozen"
while you are unable to work.
Some individuals have con
strued this section of the law to
mean that they could receive
cash payments while disabled
even though they were under 65.
This is not true. It does mean
that when your earnings record
is frozen the period of low earn
ings or of no earnings need not
be counted at all in figuring your
average earnings or in figuring
the amount of work you need
to be eligible for old-age insur
ance payments. It will be easier
for you to qualify for benefits,
and the amount of your bene
fits will be larger.
