Find Dairy Farming Conserves
Fertility Builds Up Land

Dairy farming conserves fertility
and builds up land, says the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute, in COM
pairing the approximate fertility
losses on three 160-acre farms
where three different systems of
farming were practiced.
On the 160-acre dairy farm, the
fertility loss per year amounted to
only 80 pounds, or an average of
about five pounds per acre. The
loss on the 160-acre general farm
was 1900 pounds, while on the
grain farm of the same size, the
loss was 123O0 pounds. In other
words, for every pound of fertiliz-
ing material lost through dairying,
Sc pounds were lost through gen.
eral farming, while over Is pounds
were lost through exclusive grain
farming.
The Institute points out the fact
that the growing of enough alfalfa
on dairy and general farms to sup
ply the roughage needs of all the
cows, horses, sheep, hogs and poul-
try kept on the farm viii reduce
the already small fertility loss to
an almost negotiable amount

CANADA's DIsCOvERER

Canada some time ago honored her discoverer,
Jacques Cartier, the famous French navigator, by
the erection at Quebec of magnificent statute, a
replica of that raised to his memory in his native
seaport st. Malo, France, where he was born in
1894.
Commanding two ships under "a commission
from Francis l. of France in 1884 he crossed the At
lantic touching at Cape Buenavista, Newfoundland,
sailed northward along the coast and then southwest
along the coast and then southwest through the
Straits of Belle Isle discovering the mainland of Can
ada and taking possession in the name of his king
thinking it part of Asia.
The following year he explored the st. Lawrence
far the Indian village of Hochelaga, the pres
ent site of the city of Montreal. After many hard
ships, with his crew weakened by scurvy disease
then unknown in Europe, he returned to France in
1885,
In 1541 Cartier returned to Canada with five ships
and established settlement, which he named Char
lesbourg Royal, the present site of Quebec The
rigorous CLIMATE and attacks of hostile Indians
discouraged the settlers that Cartier abandoned the
place and took them back to France in 1912 He lived
quietly at st. Malo until his death in 1857.
While Cartier did not found permanent colony
his explorations blazed the way for the building of
great empire-but under another flag.

WHAT BOYS THINK

We hear great deal about the waywardness of
children of the present but it occurred to Chicago
minister to get the viewpoints of youngsters them
selves, which he did from IT'S boys through asking
them to write freely their ideas on Whats wrong
with the home"
Among the answers given by these boys, who
ranged from IA to Is years of age, the follow
ing:
"a boy wants mother who can keep secret and
not tell the neighbors everything about him."
1.-THE girls word is taken and the boys word is al
ways doubted"
Home is court room and every member of the
family tries to take hand in raising the boy"
Parents never admit it when they wrong"
People who led the widest lives before marriage
the strictist parents"
Mothers try to hold other boys up models
too much"
These only few of the answers, but they
indicate that boys believe there good many
faults the parents side, and perhaps that is true

NEVER TO BE ENTANGLED.

The joint statement of President Hoover and
Prime Minister Macdonald contained one phrase so
frank and realistic that it deserves singled
out and remembered. 1t honestly faced the differ
ences in the American and British positions saying
zone will never consent to become entangled in
European diplomacy and the other resolved to pur-
policy of active cooperation with its European
neighbors This is another typical and most well
come example of that attitude toward Anglo
American reations-an attitude which recognizes the
differences and seeks to understand rather than gloss
them
declaration by President Hoover that the
United States Twill never consent to become entang-
led in European diplomacy is momentous at any
time. If issued by itself would go into front page
headlines. When issued at this moment of Anglo
American understanding it assumes greater
significance. 1t shows that for all our limtess zeal
to work for peace, we still mindful of the adj
vice of George Washington against entangling al
lances and still determined to benefit the world by
allowing our American system the most unhampered
chances for its fullest development. Neither the
President the Prime Minister could have said
anything more appealing to American idealism
more satisfactory to American common sense.-New
York Tribune.

ity have been the guides for break
fast menus.
The breakfast a la modern has
added another guide to the choos-
ing of the menu-body needs. And
the modern breakfast could well be

Filth, Overlooking Cause Calf
Troubles

IfOuDleS
Overlooking of skimmilk and al
falfa hay, or filth in pens, managers
and feed buckets are the causes for
most calf troubles, says E. A. Han
son, dairy extension specialist, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul. When
scours appear, at once reduce the
amount of milk and grain fed, adj
vices Mr.. Hanson, as well as chang
ing to timothy hay, if alfalfa or
clover is being fed. Pals and uten-
sils for calf feeding should always
be washed each day and placed in
the sunlight.
Newborn calves should be allow
ed to have the first, or colostrum
milk from their dams, as this is an
aid to the digestive system. Whole
milk should be fed for the first
three or four weeks. After this, the
change from whole milk to SKIM
milk and taking away one pound of
whole milk daily until all SKIM
milk is being fed. Healthy, vigor-
Gus calves can take one pound of
skimmilk for each 10 pounds of
live weight until they are con-
Stunning 16 pounds daily. After
that, nothing is gained by the feed
ing of additional quantities, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hanson.
When eight or ten days old,
calves will begin to nibble hay and
should be given some clean, bright

National Boxing Association Throws BOmbshell Into Peaceful Lives
 of Quartet

Chicago, Jan. 24 (UP)-In order ing four champions to defend their titles within the next 60 days, the National Boxing association has paved the way for more argument than has been caused by the previ- ous inactivity of all four cham pions
 The association decreed that Jim my Loughran. light heavyweight; Hickey Walker, middleweight; Joe Dundee. welterweight and Sammy Mandell, lightweight, all must fight within 60 days or lose their titles.
 But the order was qualified with this phrase except for some valid reason" The question immediately arises What is a valid reason for a fighter not defending his title?" The commission did not answer it.
 If the champions do not choose to fight within the next sixty days the association probably will hear more valid" reason than 1t even dreamed existed. Plainly speaking, all a champion has to do to comply with the order is to have a good alibi- and there never was good fight manager who couldn't think up alibis.
