Ohio horticulturists report last year’s cold snap ruined peach prospects. Ohio real estate value in 1931 was about 8 billion dollars with 22 percent outside villages. Demand for small farms near cities keeps prices for small plots steadier. Late maturing corn varieties in NE Ohio tested two years show weaker reputations. Over four fifths of 45 000 rural 4 H club members completed their projects. No seed oats should be planted without germination testing by blotter method.
