final distribution of $10,323,
149.79 in motor vehicle registra

James A .Rhodes for payment.
An additional distribution of
$3,302,014.07 representing 9%

Noble county dairymen can increase average yearly production
of their cows from 5,000 pounds of milk to 10,000 pounds of milk
just by following recommended management practices for raising
and handling top quality pasture and forage crops.
Ralph Porterfield, of the Dairy Extension department of Ohio
State University showed why this could be accomplished at a meet
ing in the county extension
office last Thursday evening.
Mr. Porterfield pointed out
that the total 7,900 dairy cow
population of Noble county pro
duced an average of 5,000 pounds
of milk in 1956. For the state of
Ohio, 840,000 cows produced an
average of 6,930 pounds of milk
The cows on DHIA test in
Noble county produced an aver
age of 8,400 pounds of milk in
1956, and for the state of Ohio,
cows on DHIA test produced an
average of 9,954 pounds of milk
in 1.956.
Mr. Porterfield also stated that
even though there is a trend to
the 50 to 75 cow herd, Noble
county dairymen can well main
tain a profitable dairy operation
on a 20 to 30 cow herd producing
a total of 200,000 to 300,000
pounds of milk per year.
In preparing a list of qualifica
tions of a good dairyman, a
number of factors were dis
cussed, but Mr. Porterfield em

Severely Injured
In Truck Accident
Cecil E. Bate-, 31, and K.
Orville Black, 22, both of Cum
berland, were critically injured
in a truck accident, Monday
afternoon on U.S. 40, one mile
east of Cambridge.
Bates, a patient in Cambridge
Community hospital, was re
ported to be still in a critical
condition, although showing
slight improvement. He suffered
internal injuries, skull fracture
and superficial lacerations of the
face and body.
Black was admitted to Guern
sey Memorial hospital where his
injuries were reported as severe
burns, fractured pelvis and deep
lacerations about the scalp and
legs.
Bates is well known in Noble
county and was formerly em
ployed at the Caldwell plant,
CGB. He is a son-in-law of
Harry Geary, of the Hoskinsville
community.
The Monday accident occurred
when a tractor-trailer enroute
east on Route 40 attempted to
turn into the Mecca Drive-in and
was struck from the rear by a
dump truck loaded with hot mix
and driven by Bates. Black was
a passenger in the dump truck.
The tractor-trailer driver,
Thurman Butler, Columbia, La.,
was not injured.
Four School
Levies Are Up
For Approval
"It is essential that the school
levies asked for in Beaver, Cen
ter, Elk and Stock Local school
districts, be approved by the
voters in order to maintain the
standards that are necessary for
continued satisfactory operation,"
Supt. H. C. Secrest said today.
In eacft instance, the minimum
is being asked for. Beaver local
is asking for a renewal of two
mills and an addition of two
mills. Center local is also asking
for an additional two mills. En
rollment in these two schools is
not sufficient to get the maxi
mum state assistance and it is
absolutely necessary that the
levies pass in order to maintain
standards.
Elk local is asking for a re
newal of five mills. This must be
renewed in order for the school
to continue operation for any
length of time.
Stock local is asking* for five
additional mills. The state has
reduced its reimbursement for
tuition payments and will dis
continue any payment after 1959
for tuition. This fact along with
the need to maintain a three
teacher school on minimum en
rollment, makes it essential to
pass the levy in order to preserve
present standards, Supt. Secrest
concluded.

Four-Inch Gas Line
Necessary To Heat
Courthouse Units
The new gas furnace being
installed in the county court
house will require more natural
gas than what is being made
available thru the present line
capacity feeding the units.
Workmen for the Ohio Fuel
Gas Co. are now engaged in lay
ing a new four-inch gas line
from their high pressure line on
Main street. It will require an
extension of nearly 120 feet of
pipe to complete the installation.
The arduous task of augering
under the sidewalk was neces
sary and a portion of Main
street will be ditched to allow
for the connection to be made
to the main line. Automatic
boring and ditching equipment
is being used to expedite the
operation.
Merlie Ball arfd Lester Con
nell, members of the village
maintenance crew, are assisting
in the work.
The project is expected to be
completed this week.
The courthouse is being heated
now with one of the two units
being installed with the conver
sion from coal to gas. Only a
two-inch line was used to supply
gas for the county building.
