Ohio Farm Bureau reports rural electrification surge
Nearly 50 000 Ohio farms and farm homes have been wired to high line electricity since the Pioneer Rural Electric Cooperative began in 1935. By mid 1937 about 5 300 farms were energized by co op lines and some 33 000 more via private utilities, boosting Ohio farm electrification from 18.7 to 35.6 percent in two years, with national figures rising from 10.7 to 17.6 percent.

Top-Dressing On Wheat Helps Clover
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station agronomist Robert M Salter notes a light winter top dressing of manure on wheat can improve clover and alfalfa stands and hay yield. Trials at Wooster show four to six loads of manure applied in December or January on limed, moderately fertile soil boost legume stands and yield about 3-4 tons per acre over 18 crops. Strong manure works better than rotted and benefits come from moisture conservation and surface nutrient leaching to roots.

Ohio Sales Show Farm Land Prices Higher This Year
Ohio farm land prices rose in the first half of 1937 with 10 acre plus tracts selling at an average of 68.69 dollars per acre. The statewide figure, based on reports to the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, marks a 34 percent rebound from 1933 and exceeds the 1931 average. Local markets show higher prices for well improved commercial size farms, with some areas quoting 80 to 125 dollars per acre. Demand since 1933 favors larger farms, while pre-1933 demand centered on small self sufficient plots amid industrial uncertainty.

Ohio Farmer In Better Position Than U S Average
Ohio State University rural economics department reports a stronger outlook for Ohio farmers over the next year due to larger livestock and feed supplies. Despite national declines in cattle and milk, Ohio shows smaller drops and expects secure conditions as prices hold. National authorities foresee weaker farm demand in 1938 but note rising exports from higher domestic supplies and lower foreign availability.

Ohio farmers to receive maximum rates under 1937 conservation plan
Columbus November 10 Payments to Ohio farmers under the 1937 agricultural conservation program will be made at the maximum possible rate says Elmer F Kruse, chairman of the state committee. Payments depend on soil productivity and changes in farming practices. Higher payments go to land with higher productivity while lower payments go to less productive farms. In Ohio the range is from 9.07 dollars per acre in Henry and Williams counties to 6.12 dollars per acre in Clermont county. Also affecting Ohio payments in sugar beet areas is the tonnage of recoverable sugar, with this year based on 297 pounds per ton of beets.
