Sargent Farm Uses Oats and Wheat to Stop Ditches
Frank Sargent and son Carl manage a 600 acre farm near Jerseyville focusing on erosion control. They sow oats in ditches each spring and wheat in fall to bind soil and reseed, with cattle and sheep herds of 70 Herefords and 200 sheep. They plan to expand land holdings, expect profits to rise, and keep livestock diversified while monitoring market trends. Poultry results are mixed as high feed costs depress chick production, though some farmers plan to retain flocks or extend pony programs for youth.

Whetro Bill Would Shift Athens Pension Duties
Athens County would shift supervision of old age pensions from the board of county commissioners to a five member civilian board if the Whetro Bill gains Governor Davey’s signature. The bill replaces county advisory boards with civilian ones and would place approval of pension grants and payroll in civilian hands. The change follows 36 counties already using civilian boards and names H. J. Berrodin as appointing authority.
