FARM NEWS

In the midst of the hottest part
of summer dairymen are apt to
blame hot weather and flies for the
drastic drop-off in milk production,
according to the county agents
office at st. Cloud. Experimental
data available however, shows
quite conclusively that a shortage
Of proper feed is more often the
cause of the drop in milk product
ion than either the hot weather or
flies. Most of the pastures over
the county are getting quite dry
now and the feed that is left in
them is rather unpalatable. Some
farmers who planned caller to take
care of the midsummer shortage
of pasture now have sudan grass
second growth alfalfa, mixture OF
bromegrass and alfalfa, or other
supplemental grasses to make up

Ssasior Qg44kA RaAI
@uIA | NA

st. Paul: Frequently these days,
particularly in the cities and in
Washington especially, one hears
the most pessimistic and doleful
comments on the probable future
of America-how our democracy
is half gone now and our liberties
all will be wiped out by the time
this war emergency is over, how
we'll never be able to pay our debts
and will go bankrupt, and how the
system of free private enterprise is
all finished regardless.
I wish that some of these doubt
ing Thomases could have been with
me the past week, as Mrs. Ball and
I trekked around Minnesota from
Caledonia to st. Cloud to Redwood
Falls and to half dozen other
towns.
Meeting and talking with the
farmers and their wives, the mer-
chants, the newspaper men, the
business men, the lawyers and the
doctors and their wives, the clergy
men, the school teachers, and the
plumbers and the carpenters, would
have been good medicine for them.
These people are the real Amer
lea, and anyone who thinks they
are going to be herded into any
kind of totalitarian setup and de-
prived Of their liberties simply
hasn't seen or talked to them. No
one knows just how or in what
shape we are going to come out
of this present emergency, but I'll
back the men and women of Amer
lea against all troubles, all tasks
and all corners.
They recognize clearly that there
may be some unpleasant times
ahead, that at the very least we
are all going to have to make some
sacrifices for defense. Many of
them are still studying and think
ing about the international picture
and our relationship to it, but
whatever is necessary to defend
and preserve our democracy and
liberty they will do and do gladly.
VIC COAlAC WI VI
gency with considerable modifica-
lions in our economic and perhaps
in our political system. But the
American people will see to it that
we come out of it with the essent-
ial liberties and freedom Of oppor-
tunity and enterprises which are
basic to our American democracy.
When I first accepted this as
signment to the Senate, felt that
an essential part of the job was
to report to and discuss with the
people as often as duties in Wash
ington permitted, the issues con-
fronting the nation. Because ]
was used to expressing my ideas
through typewriter and not from
a platform, frankly was a little
scared Of that part of the job.
Actually, it has turned out to be
one of the most inspiring exper-
fences of my life. The opportunity
to meet and get acquainted with
hundreds of grand people in Mime
sofa is something I shall cherish
always.

To Core for Baby
Married Students W ork Out
Daily Living Schedule.

WACO, TEXAS.-It took some ar
ranging but the Rev. and Mrs. Cliff
ford Potts have worked out daily
living schedule to take into consid-
Grafton their 17-month old girl and
their classes at Baylor university.
The minister and his wife are car
ing for the house, are meeting full
class schedules at the university and
are caring for and carrying baby
jeanne"
They arranged their class sched-
ules so one could be with the baby
at all times. But it happened that
each took alternate hours so the
baby-to-class and class-to-baby rush
now comes every hour from 8 a. m.
to 2:40 p. m.
And, as bad luck would have 1t,
they found there was no house avail
able near the campus to permit
them time for the baby-to-class and
class-to-baby sprints.
So they worked it out like this:
The Rev. Mr.. Potts goes to his
eight o'clock class, leaving Mrs.
Potts with the baby. At 1855 a. m.
each school day he hurries toward
home. On 2 way he meets his
wife, carrying the child in her arms.
She hands him the baby and hur-
ries on to school. He takes the little
girl home again.
The campus exchange occurs from
father to mother at 10 a. m, from
mother to father at 11:40 a. m. and
so on throughout the day.
OF course, the baby gets plenty
Of airing and when one or the other
Of her parents is little late she
changes hands with the mother and
father almost on the run.
The father is pastor Of the Bap.
fist church at Turnersville, Texas,
and is taking Bible course at Bay
lor. Mrs. Potts is majoring in edu-
cation.

rator of anthropology of the Ameri-

closed Wah was feet 2 inches tall
and about 30 years old when he died.
"The brain, heart, stomach and
other organs were intact, indicating
that greater pains and more time
were taken in preparing mummies in
the days of Wah than in later times"
said DR.. Shapiro.

North Carolina College
Adds Defense Courses

RALEIGH, N. C.-Already serv-
ing the national defense program
through a haf-dozen vital activities,
North Carolina State college now is
preparing to render an additional
service designed to help eliminate
''bottlenecks" in production Of ma
terials and machines needed during
the emergency.
The college will cooperate in the
new engineering defense training
program to help industry and gov
eminent meet their needs for tech
nical and supervisory personnel in
fields essential to national defense.
Congress has appropriated $9.000,-
600 to finance, through qualified
schools Of engineering, intensive
courses Of college grades to train
men to fill available openings in de-
tense industries and government de-
tense agencies. The u. S. Office Of
education is administering the pro-
gram.

for the shortage in the feed supply
available on permanent pastures.
Others who have not provided so
wisely might consider the use Of
other supplemental feeds. Most
farms have an ample supply Of hay
and a liberal feeding Of alfalfa hay
at this season helps keep the milk
flow from going down too badly.
The hay feeding might be done in
doors in the barn or better yet,
with an outdoor feeding rack that
would make hay available to the
cows and young stock at almost all
hours Of the day and night. The
market price Of dairy products is
at present high enough to justify
the feeding of a rather liberal
allowance Of grain. About 1 Id. of
grain for each 5 lbs. of milk pro-
Quoted might be a sensible allow
ance in addition to the other feeds
that are available.
While flies are not the most i'm
portant cause Of lower milk pro-
duction, they can make life miser-
able for the busy COW with an i'm
portant job to do. A few things
might be done to help the situation.
Removal Of breeding places is the
first step. That means the moving
of old straw stack bottoms and
manure piles and keeping the barn
as clean as possible. The barn it,
self might be kept reasonably free
from flies when attention Is paid
to few things. Darkening the
interior by putting gunny sacks
over the windows Is a help. Paint
ing the windows on the inside with
a blue water paint tends to repel
flies. Screen fly traps and electric
window screen killers also reduce
the members. A good fly spray
used in the barn before milking will
knock down and kill large numbers
that come into the barn on the cow
The more power the sprayer has
the better the job will be. A little
spray can go on the COW but great
care must be taken that the cows
are not wet with spray. Cows may
blister and the oily spray on the
hair increases the discomfort from
heat. This discomfort from heat
may retard milk production more
than the flies.
