GRASS FLAVOR IN
MILK UNNECESSARY
Keep Cows From Any Greens
Few Hours Is Advised.

Nothing puts that desirable
"June" flavor in milk quite so sue
cessfully as tender green grass, but
in order to avoid the undesirable
odor and flavor which nearly al
ways occurs when cows are first
turned on pasture, it is necessary
to observe caution in the pasturing
practice.
Research workers at the Califor-,
mia and Oklahoma Agricultural Ex-
pertinent stations have shown that
if cows are kept away from rough
ages. especially green roughages,
at least five hours before milking
very little of the ''feedy" flavor will
be evident in the milk. This same
procedure can be applied to pas,
turing practices. The cows can be-
turned on pasture Immediately aft
er the morning milking but they
should be removed to a dry lot or
barn at least five hours before the
next milking.
II this practice is followed for the
first two or three weeks in the
spring, there will be very little of
the undesirable grass odor and fla
vor in the milk. This practice will
even eliminate most of the wild gar
lie or onion flavor if these plant
are found in the pasture. At the
same time the cows, will have
enough time to consume the neces-
sary quantity of grass to supply
their needs.
To get the very finest flavor in
milk during the pasture season, it is
suggested that this procedure be fol-
lowed throughout the entire time.

TREND OF WORLD AFFAIRS
Prepared BY
Lucy Meacham Thruston


A new note crept into the thought
and expression of the memorial day
of 1887. 1t was when the vast ex-
panse of soldiers graves marked with
their simple crosses was visited or
such hills as those of Arlington or
when the battlefields of France were
remembered. The note took the
form of a question, of two questions:
why such loss of life, why such con-
sequent expenditure of the wealth of
the nation. Statistics of loss in
man-power and of loss in wealth fig
ured-in article and address more
plainly than ever before. OF the
two emphasis was placed on the last
and this along the line not of first
cost since this has been well public
lied, but that of After Cost and of
how after cost is still mounting.
Statistics are dry, but figures are
power in putting forth story and
that of the After Cost of Wars in the
United States, young nation, be-
gins with the stupendous sum of
$21, 27,570, disbursements for
veterans since the Revolution. OF
this sum pensions and compensations
took up $12,751, 734,531; bonuses,
insurance, disqualification, medical
treatment at home and miscellaneous
items took up the rest. At the be-
ginning of the month of May, 1887,
two widows were still drawing pen
sions from the war of 1812-over
and done with 1872 years ago. At
the end of April 226 widows of sold
iers who fought in the Mexican War,
1S46-48 were still drawing pensions;
the pension cost of the Indian wars
is still high; while for the Civil War
pensions in 1896 were paid to 1886
persons, including children and
widows.
Coming on down to the Spanish
War, which lasted 100 days, in April
2,017 pensioners were on the govern
ment lists because of disability sus-
tanned in action, and 173,151 were
being supported in part by the gov
eminent because of disabilities in no
ways connected with active service.
Also in 1886 the government paid
out more than $16,500,000 to the
dependents of Spanish veterans. And
it must be put in at once that these
figures do not include state aid
government expenditure only.
AS for the World War, the pension
bill for veterans and their depend
ents has so far amounted to $780,
900, 900, and in addition to these W.
w. veterans have received $3,621,-
644,O53. But these figures are
enough They are as one of the an
nouncers says of his product over
the radio, "they are wonderful, they
are marvellous, they are incredible
-" but these are true. If the ma
tions, if all nations would only con-
slider the cost-in life-in suffering,
in national wealth and then stack it
up against what has been achieved,
Memorial Day or Decoration Day
might have different significance =
a message of love and sadness, of
loss; but not of such unnecessary
loss.

pipes with a consequent hammering
in the pipes and blocking of cir
culation SO that some radiators
will not heat.
This can be avoided largely by
the use of grade-marked lumber.
But grade marking is just a safe
guard against material inferior to
that specified. In each case the
grade OF the lumber to be used
should be specifically noted. Grade
marking does not guarantee mois-
ture content, however, as that is an
element which can be upset by eX-
posing the lumber during a long
period of rain. Lumber should have
not over l9 per cent moisture
content when erected, and should
be protected while on the job dur
ing rains, with tarpaulins or water
proof paper.
Except in unusually dry weather,
lumber that has been well dried be-
fore coming on the job will pick up
some moisture even with the best
of care, but if it is we'll dried TO
start with, and is not subjected to
actual soaking, it will dry out rather
quickly and will not change in
volume enough to make an appre-
ciable difference.

Speakers Request
Record Vote for
Power Contract

In Calipatria, Heber and at Mt.
Signal Friday night audiences
heard speakers advocate a record
majority in the Wednesday elec-
ton in favor of the government
contracts for power development in
Imperial Valley.
w. E. (BilD Young, Imperial Ir-
rigation District director from the
Calipatria division, spoke in the
northend city.
At Heber Director Mark Rose
and M. j. Dowd. district engineer,
were the speakers.
Earl Northrop spoke at a meet
ing Of the farm bureau center at
Mt. Signal. Northrop attacked New
Cal Electric corporation propagan-
da as deliberately misleading. He
emphasized that the government
loans would not be an obligation
against land, would not involve
any water tolls, would be repaid
solely with earnings of the power
system.
A mass meeting was scheduled
for Saturday night in Calipatria
at 7:30.

Until the completion of the Blythe

ing an all-paved road 81 miles

financing Of the publicly owned
and operated power system. The
plan advocated by the power COM
pany would finance construction of
power plants only in a comblna-
ton public-private power system
PWA Contract
The PWA contract provides for:
A direct gift to the people of
$1,242O00; and a loan of $1,5l8,000
to construct one power plant on the
canal, build a main distribution
system and enlarge the present pub
lie standby plant at BraWley. The
loan will be made at four per cent
interest.
The REA contract provides for:
A loan of 100000 from the Rural
Electrification Administration to
construct 600 miles of rural distri-
button lines in farm areas not now
served with electicity.
The Nevada California Electric
corporation offer would provide
for:
A gift by the corporation to the
people of $l,242 900 and a loan of
$l,5l8,000 at four per cent interest;
the total sum to be used in con-
structing four power plants on the
canal. Present transmission lines
of the company would be used in
distribution.
The company then would pur-
chase primary power from the can
al plants at five mills a kilowatt
hour and secondary power at one
and a half mills, and would agree
to spend 100000 in the immediate
future in constructing rural dis
tribution lines.
Difference in the two plans lies,
basically, in the fact that, under
REA and PWA contracts, the pub
lie would control distribution of
its own power, whereas under the
Nev-Cal plan, the power company
would control all but operation of
the generating plants.
Debts Stressed
Power company attacks against
the district program have been
based largely on the issuance of
revenue bonds, with stress laid in
existing bonded Indebtedness.
The district has answered that
the revenue bonds will not be obli-
cations against land or water, but
must be paid for out of electric
revenue.
Harshest criticism of the power
company plan has been that it
does not attempt to guarantee low
electric rates, but, on the other
hand, provides that rates shall be
based on the cost of energy to the
power company-a fact which
would make the consumers agree
to pay the power company for every
kilowatt of power bought by that
company, in addition to operating
charges and profit.
