Price Of Houses Soars
Building Costs Up
(Concluded from page 1)
ready for occupancy* in the fall.
At the same time, Russell Tripple
horn moved into the Fred Mueller
addition on Jefferson street a house
he purchased on the former Milton
Pifer farm in Orange township, east
of Orange Center.
Remodeled Home
The house is being remodeled and
replastered, and will be ready for
occupancy within the next month.
Trippiehorn’s home is the fifth in
the Jefferson street area which has
been moved in from country districts.
Two other home owners in other
parts of the town followed the same
procedure as one way to beat high
costs of building, but it is becoming
extremely difficult to find empty
residences in the rural areas.
In the meantime, the building sit
uation represents a paradox. Altho
there is a continuing need for new
housing Bluffton construction activ
ity has petered away to virtually
nothing as materials remain hard to
get and prices keep on going higher.
Cut Costs
In the early part of the summer,
builders of new homes resorted to
procedures that resulted in cutting
costs wherever possible in an effort
to beat the soaring cost of construc
tion. As prices continued high, how
ever, the building program slackened,
then virtually4 came to a standstill,
with no new activity of any kind
coming in the last two months.
In many cases, increased costs of
building partially have been over
come by much of the work on the
house being done by the owner, with
some of his family pitching in as as
sistants. At the same time, the type
home being built is smaller in size
generally, as another means of con
serving expenditure.
Increased costs which have hiked
the price of new homes also are re
flected in higher prices for all real
estate in Bluffton, and houses al
ready built are selling at new high
levels.
Pre-war prices here for homes
ranged from $4,000 to $8,000, but
recent sales of real estate in the
same class of houses are spiralling
upward from the $9,000-mark, more
than double the level prevailing prior
to 1941.
With little prospect for additional
building here this summer and fall,
the fate of Bluffton’s building pro
gram next spring is equally un
certain. Should high-priced construc
tion keep the cost of building a home
at two or three times pre-war prices,
fewer new houses will be started than
if the costs of erecting a home fall
off over the winter.
Lack Hospitals
Forty per cent of our counties
predominantly rural, in 1940 were
without a single recognized genera,
hospital.
In honor of his 34th birthday an
niversary, thirty friends and rela
tives surprised Aldine Kohli at his

New municipal officers are M. M.

clerk Cliff Stratton, treasurer
Henson Good, marshall.
Hiram Kohli of Camp Sherman
spent several days with his parents.
Chas. Dillman is substitute mail
carrier on routes one and three fill

nation of Ralph Patterson, who is
now city mail carrier.

A photograph of Ralph Steams,

A BIT OF SHOPPING IN PANAMA
Naval Reservists on a training cruise of the USS Wisconsin spend
part of their liberty ashore in Colon, Republic of Panama, selecting
presents for the folks back home. They are among 600 Reservists from
the Third, Fourth, and Ninth Naval Districts recalled to active duty,
voluntarily, for two weeks of training aboard the "Wisky.” The cruises
give the Reserve sailors a chance to learn of the latest developments
aboard this mighty warship. As a part of the Wisconsin cruises there
are two days of liberty in Panama for sightseeing and shopping. Many
of the men bring back perfumes, lingerie, alligator skin luggage, white
shirts, summer suits and other items which are obtainable at prewar
prices.

Forest, Bluffton’s foe in the pre

lineup of the visitors there will be
few veterans from last year’s out

Improved Corn Outlook
Raises Hopes Here
(Concluded from page 1)
consideration of the nation’s farm
prospects.
Price of corn, which already has
set an all-time high so far this
summer, is the determining factor
in the cost of pork chops, milk and
other dairy products, beef, eggs and
poultry.*
In fact analysis of the general
food picture will show the h?usewife
that from eggs and bacon for break
fast thruout the meals of the entire
day, com more or less sets the pace
for the American standard of living.
Reflects Record Price
Com meal and poultry feed al
ready have gone upward this sum
mer, to match surging prices of com
on the open markets, and meat
prices can be expected to follow
suit next winter if com yields are
abnormally low.
Discouraging outlook for this
summer’s national com yield, follow
ing a date seeding season, for a
long time indicated that much higher
prices for staple food items could
be expected next winter. Present
improvement in com prospects have
to some extent offset initial fears,
but there still is plenty of chance
that the crop may be short enough
to force prices sharply upward.
Sales Stopped
Unlike wheat, which must be kept
under cover, com can be stored in
the open, and most of the crop is
held by the farmer. When he takes
a pessimistic view of the future, as
he has this summer, he halts sales
and without full elevators to cushion
the shock, the price of com reacts
violently.
Most noticeably affected when
com prices go up are poultrymen,
who must sell their flocks or get
more for eggs and meat producers
who fatten hogs and cattle.
As corn prices go next winter, so
will go the cost of many food items
on the everyday menu, and more
than just the farmers’ concern over
crop prospects hangs in the balance
in consideration of this year’s com
yield.
In Horseback Wedding
Former Bluffton Man
Robert Bassitt, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Bassitt, former residents
of Bluffton Rural Route One, was
the bridegroom in a “wedding on
horseback” at the Ada saddle club
rodeo, Monday afternoon.
He was wed to Laura Faye John
son, Lima Route four, in a ceremony
witnessed by a crowd of more than
3,000 persons. Rev. Raymond Peter
son, of Marion, received the vows.
All members of the bridal party
were on horseback in the unique
event.
SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS
Disease and insect damage in
1948 gardens can be reduced if the
trash left from the 1947 crops is
gathered and placed in compost piles
or is destroyed by fire.
A mineral mixture for Ohio hogs
can be made from 20 pounds iodized
salt, 40 pounds of pulverized lime
stone, and 40 pounds of steamed
bone meal. It can be fed by mixing
eight pounds of the combined miner
als with 92 pounds of the protein
supplement being used. This mineral
mix supplies iodine, calcium, and
phosphorus.
Some dairymen retain a prejudice
against cottonseed meal as a high
protein feed and claim it causes
constipation, breeding difficulties,
and undesirable milk. Feeding trials
at experiment stations prove cotton
seed meal cannot be justifiably

blamed for any of those troubles.
Cottonseed meal lacks vitamin A so
that essential should be supplied by
other feeds in the ration.
Ohio poultry men who have good
flocks might find a good outlet for
spring eggs by contracting with a
local hatchery to supply hatching
eggs.
A course to train men as test
supervisors for dairy herd improve
ment associations and as laboratory
technicians in artificial insemination
associations will be given at Ohio
