Bluffton almost got a glimpse of
Ninabelle Cross, 38-year-old former
teacher in the Upper Sandusky
schools who claims she was cured
by a miracle after sixteen and one
half years bedfast as an invalid.
She is a personal friend of Miss
Erma Stearns of Upper Sanduky,
formerly of Bluffton and had intend
ed to come here with Miss Stearns
w’ho addressed a woman’s meeting at
St. John’s Reformed church last
Wednesday night. Unforeseen cir
cumstances, however, obliged Miss
Cross to cancel her trip here.
And speaking of the Reformed
church, we note that Rev. Emil
Burrichter, formerly of this charge
is now pastor of the church at
Plymouth, Indiana, which this year
celebrates the twenty-fifth annivers
ary of the merger of the Reformed
and Evangelical churches at that
place. The merger at
anticipated the official

Melvin Zimmerly, Holstein breeder

which gives nearly three times the
milk production of the average cow.
In a 365 day test recently completed
she produced 519 pounds of butter

And when it comes to records,
the News window exhibited some the
past week. A 34 inch sweet potato
raised by Allen Beeshy who culti

puff ball found by Milton Bader
tscher on his farm northeast of
Rawson. Also not forgetting a fine
ear of hybrid seed corn from the

HE proverbial Jack-of-all-trades was
of none. The modern world of
science and technology passed him by.
The same principle applies to farm
tractors. The tractor that does a wide variety
of jobs unsatisfactorily can’t possibly pro
duce the greatest results at the least cost
in any job. 1L.
But that’s what the farmer particularly
the small operator—has got to do to meet
postwar competition: he’s got to produce
the most jood possible with the least effort
and, consequently, at the lowest cost.
The farmer with 10 acres in truck crops
needs one kind of tractor. The farmer
with 100 acres in wheat alone needs an
other kind—or, as is usually the case,
or more different tractors. The trac
tor which does a good job on the
Great Plains may be useless in the

Conditions of climate, the lay of the land,

wide variations in the nature of crops and
