SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS
Reports on sale of farm lands in Ohio
indicate there have been some decreas
es in the rate of transfers of title in
1944 as compared with 1943. Land
prices continued to rise during the
second quarter of 1944. The percent
age of farms bought by active farm
operators, as compared with non-farm
buyers, increased in 1944, and about
one out of every four farm tranfers in
Ohio in 1944 has been to a previous
tenant farmer.
Good management and high produc
ing livestock permitted 12 owners of
Ohio dairy -poultry farms to get a
return of $1.64 for every dollar's
worth of feed in 1943 while 12 other
men on the same type of farms ob-.
tained only $1.46. Farmers who ob
tained the $1.64 bought 68.9 per cent
of the feed used and the other group
bought 64.7 per cent of the feed for
their livestock.
On the basis of August 1 conditions,
the 1944 U. S. crop of late onions es
timated at 17,320,000 sacks, each con
taining 100 pounds. This would be 51
per cent larger than the 1943 crop and
47 per cent greater than the 1933-42
average annual production. Eighteen
western states increased their onion
acreage 133 percent over 1943 plant
ings.
August, September and October
sales of fed cattle from the combelt
states may not 'be 50 per cent of the
number sold in the same months of
1943. The demand for stockers and
feeders increased in July and August
and more cattle went into feedlots in
those months than in the same months
in 1943, and market men expect fur
ther improvement in the demand for
stockers and feeders.

we like, only the youngsters with
"cast-iron” stomachs seem to be free
of the aftermath of over-indulgence
which leaves a painful memory. Now
a scientific formula—
BEFORE and AFTER TREATMENT
—corrects these conditions by com
bining a "before meal capsule" to
increase the flow of bile, with an
