Farmers Sign For 1940 Wheat Program Approximately 70.9 per cent of the 2724 winter wheat grow’ers in Allen county have signed up to par ticipate in the 1940 AAA Farm Pro gram for wheat, according to Clair A. Patterson, Chairman of the Allen County AAA Committee. Mr. Patterson said this indicates a participation for the county in the 1940 wheat program about 34 per cent greater than in 1939. Farmers have indicated they plan to participate in the 1940 program by signing the wheat plan for par ticipation in 1940, which each farmer works out with his AAA community committeeman. Committeemen visit ed all wheat farmers in the county to explain the AAA wheat program to them. Of the farmers signing the wheat Will You be Robbed of Heat?

It’s valuable! plan 1672 have designated their in tention of planting within their wheat acreage allotments. This will make them eligible for the Agricul tural Conservation payment on wheat, the wheat parity payment, and the 1940 loan in case it is offer ed. In another group are 259 wheat growers who have elected the non wheat allotment option under the 1940 program. On their farms wheat that is harvested or matured as grain will be checked against their allotments, but any wheat used for pasture or green manure will not be checked against their allotments. In addition, the payments to farmers in this group who have allotments of less than 10 acres will be reduced only if the wheat matured as grain exceeds 10 acres. Election of the nonwheat allotment option disquali fies the farm for 1940 wheat parity payments and the 1940 wheat loan, and conservation payments on the wheat allotment acreage are made at the rate for general crops instead of the wheat rate. A farmer who failed to sign the wheat plan automatically takes the wheat allotment classification, and all wheat he plants for any purpose will be counted as part of his farm’s wheat acreage. He will receive no wheat parity payment, but by plant ing within his allotment, he may re ceive the agricultural conservation payment for w’heat, and he will be eligible for a wheat loan. For Ohio as a whole, 127,496 or 76 percent of the winter wheat growers have already signed to par ticipate in the 1940 wheat program. In the North Central Region, officials estimate on the basis of the present sign-up that about 75 percent of all winter wheat growers will partici pate in the program. Ohio bees in a single-story hive will need the equivalent of seven full frames of honey for winter stores. Colonies in two-story hives will need 50 pounds of honey, most of it in the upper story. Clover honey is ex cellent for winter stores, and fall gathered honey will be satisfactory this year because its density is un usually high.

Hostetler, from Citizens National Bank, Bluffton. Lunch will be served by Women Mission Society of the Ebenezer Church DON'T LOOK 0O*N N A A Muc bosT Crag a 6uh After You Whin A Fence A aRTf*rr3 in Manx Out of all the research work done by the various states and by the United States Department of Agri culture, one of the findings least open to debate is that a bull is 50 per cent or more of a dairy herd. This fact applies whether heifers are raised or bought but in the latter case, the buyer must depend upon the seller’s ability to select herd sires. Domesticated cattle have been kept for thousands of years but the spec ialization of cattle into types adapted for special purposes is a compara tively recent advance in animal hus bandry. Few farmers will dispute that the use of a black bull in a herd of white cows will result in color variations in the calves but the same men apparently believe that the ability to produce milk and but terfat profitably is not changed by an admixture of blood strains from beef animals. Reports from herd improvement associations in Ohio show that a few members replace grade or scrub herd sires each month with purebred animals. The presence of such bulls in the associations indicates there must be thousands of them in herds whose owners are not members. There is no excuse for the use of scrub sires when purebreds can be bought at a reasonable price. Own ers of small herds can combine re sources and buy a purebred as a partnership venture. Mr. Blackman believes it is much better to get the benefits from owning a purebred sire at a moderate cost than to lose an equal amount or more by raising heifers of doubtful ability from grade and scrub sires. The University specialist does not claim that every purebred is a profit able animal, but he maintains that the chance of efficient production is better with purebreds than with grades. Association members have records of the production of each cow in their herds and these records are certified of merit or demerit for their bull calves. Bulls should be bought on the rec ords of their ancestors. Bulls which had low producing dams and grandams are likely to sire heifers with the same failings but the bull backed by high production records is likely to pass these characteristics to his daughters. Type is important in the show' ring but the figures on the production record make or break the dairyman. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of Jasper Beemer. Deceased.

L. Blackman, animal husbandry specialist, Ohio State University, who says some herd owners intrust their future business success to herd bulls which are so mixed in ancestry that the animals must spend much of their time wondering whether they are supposed to advocate, beef, butter, or bologna. Acasualties LL sportsmen are interested in the question how shooting may be reduced. The an nual Ohio Conservation Division re ports indicating the manner in which accidents occur show that they are occasioned mostly through the viola tion of a few simple rules that should suggest themselves to everybody, ac cording to Conservation Commissioner Don Waters. Modern firearms are far more complicated than they were in the old days, and novices should be care ful to seek such instruction as will enable them to know what they are doing. Pointing a gun in the direction of another person may seem funny, or devoid of danger under some circum stances—but it’s bad practice any time, anywhere. Three positions for carrying the gun in the field are recognized as safe and good: First Over the shoulder with the muzzle pointing up ward Second—Over the hollow of the arm, pointed away from companions and dogs Third —Under the arm with the barrel pointed toward the ground. DONTS IN addition to the pictured don’ts at the left, add these: Don't jump a ditch with a loaded gun. Don't load a gun in the house. Don’t take a revolver on a hunt ing trip. Don’t shoot until you know what is within range it may save you a lifetime of regret, or at least the loss of a good dog or the fanner’s pig. Don’t put a wrong gauge shell into your gun. Don’t use shot cartridges in a rifle. Don’t threaten to shoot anyone, in fun or otherwise this advice in cludes land owners. Don't take risks. 3HJO DIVISION ~QF CONSERVATION' AAA Farm Program Started In County The go signal was given the 1940 AAA Parity Payment Program in Al len county today with the announce ment from Clair A. Patterson, Chair man of the Allen County AAA Com mittee, of the terms and conditions under which parity payments will be made to producers of corn and wheat. The provisions are similar to those in effect for the 1939 parity payments, the chairman said, but they have been strengthened by the additiona re quirements intended to bring about a more effective administration of the program than ha? been possible under previous regulations. Persons interested in a corn crop on a single farm are eligible for a com parity payment under the AAA Farm Program by planting within the com allotment, and by keeping within the wheat and tobacco allotments. However, if the wheat allotment for the farm is exceeded, the farmer may still earn a com parity payment by planting sufficiently below these al lotments to offset the excess acreage of w’heat. They may earn a w’heat parity pay ment by planting within wheat allot ment and keeping within the corn and tobacca allotments for the farm. In every case the sum of the plant ed acreage of com, wheat and tobac co should not exceed the sum of the allotments for the three crops. A landlord, tenant or share-renter interested in two or more farms in one county is eligible for com and wheat parity payments in 1940 by meeting all the requirements for a single farm, and,planning his farm operations so that his total share of the corn, wheat and tobacco crops on all of the farms does not exceed his total share of the allotments for these crops. Under the 1939 Parity Payment Program, a producer could qualify for a payment l\ keeping within his al lotment for one commodity even tho he overplanted the acreage allotment of another commodity on the same farm or overplanted the same crop or other commodities on another farm. These new provisions make it possible for the county or state AAA com mittee to withhold all or part of the payment in such cases under the 1940 program. The chairman said that the parity payment rates will be announced later after the 1939 season average prices are determined. Approximately 143,000 corn and wheat producers so far have received $4,617,118 under the 1939 Parity Pay mnt Program. Farmrs who have kept within their corn allotments re ceived 6 cents per bushel on the norm al yield of their acreage allotment. Wheat producers received 11 cents per bushel on the normal yield of the wheat allotment. In Allen county 2054 farmers have received parity payments under the 1939 AAA program. Parity payments are made to farmers in order to bring the prices they receive for commodi ties more in line with the prices they pay for other goods, the chairman said. These payments are in addi tion to the regular agricultural con servation payments made under the AAA Farm Program. 1940 winter wheat producers may apply and receive 1940 parity pay ments before their 1940 performance is checked on com upon agreeing to make refunds if subsequent checkups show that they have overplanted their allotments of any of the other crops, the chairman explained. Better Save The Home Until Winter Is Over The season having arrived when outdoor temperatures are not espec ially suitable for family life in Ohio, Professor R. C. Miller, agricultural engineering department, Ohio State University, suggests it is a proper time to adopt safety measures which prevent farm houses from burning. The major portion of- farm house fires are caused by faulty stove pipes and chimneys and by blazes started on roofs. Old chimneys can be made safer by inspection and repair, and faulty stove pipes can be replaced. Roof fires can be prevented by keep ing out of stoves material which is so light that it is carried out of the chimney before it is wholly burned. Chimney screens will catch sparks. Every week some newspaper re ports fires and injuries or deaths caused by the explosion of kerosene or gasoline used in starting fires in stoves. It would be much better to tear siding off the house for kindling than to endanger lives and the home by using explosives to kindle a fire. Paper or rags soaked in linseed or soybean oil will burst into flame spontaneously if stored in piles for only a few days. Piles of paper near the furnace or stove may be ignited by sparks which fly out unnoticed when the doors are opened. Tractors and automobiles start many bam fires. Flame from the exhaust ignites litter on the bam floor or hay fodder stored in mows. If the machines must be kept in the barn, the floor should be kept free from any easily inflammable mater ial. A law’ passed by the last legisla ture permits townships or villages to finance the purchase of firefighting equipment for rural communities. The old law’ made such organizations difficult to establish and finance. Piles of sand placed in or near buildings, or chemical extinguishers can be used to fight fires caused by oils or gasoline. Water spreads such fires. Buckets placed conveniently and kept filled with water will ex tinguish small blazes. A plentiful supply of water in tanks or cisterns will be required to make mechanical fire fighting apparatus effective on farms.
