Inventor Seeks Patent
On Device Held in Berlin

An American who claims to be the
inventor of an improved airplane
radio direction finder yesterday
asked District Court to award him
the patent on the device now in the
name of a German and a German
firm.
The American was Paul B. Taylor
Of the Aircraft Radio Laboratory at
Wright Field. Dayton, Ohio. He
named as defendants in the suit
Wilhelm Runge and the Telefunken
Gesselschaft fur Drahtlose Tele-
graphic, m. b. h., whose addresses
were given as Berlin.
The Patent Office had granted
the German interests the patent in
the early 1930s and Mr.. Taylor later
filed an application for another
patent, which was denied. The suit
was filed on behalf of Mr.. Taylor
by the Justice Department, since
the United States Government is
licensed to use the device.

Pasture Helps Farmer
AUOid Labor Problems

With farm help getting more
scarce every day, d. R. Dodd spe-
cialist in agronomy, Ohio State Uni
versity, advises Ohio farmers to put
more dependence in ways of produc-
ing meat and milk with less hand
labor, and he recommends improved
pasture as one of the most efficient
ways.
Mr.. Dodd points out that Septem-
ber l to October 10 is the ideal time
to make grass seedlings, except or
chard grass. The period between
September and April / is the best
period to apply fertilizers on pas
lures. The fertilizer should be cut
into the soil about an inch with a
disc drill when the ground is moist.
Lime is essential for pasture i'm
provement in areas where tn esoil
lacks this material. Samples should
provement in areas where the soil
reaction. County agricultural agents
will give advice on soil sampling and
will give directions for sending the
samples to testing laboratories.
Management of pasture is about
as important as seeding and ferti-
lization. Concentrations of livestock
should be kept off the sleeper slopes
in wet periods when erosion is likely
to start. Fall weeds and excess
grass growth should be moved dur
ing the first half of September
One of the most important points
to remember in fall pasture manage
ment is to remove the livestock from
the field early enough so the grass
will make a growth of at least four
inches. Overgrazing robs plant roots
of stored foods and induces winter
killing.

is making the baby buggy problem
real one. Dealers report the de-

II present you," General Sher-
man wrote to President Lincoln,
with a city as Christmas gift"
In middle November, 1864,
Sherman and his army disap-
peared. Communication lines were
cut. All connection with the rear
was severed. Sherman started for
the sea.
During the next month Georgia
was turned into a desolation. War
must be made terrible, Sherman
believed. To make it terrible,
homes. were burned, towns de-
stroyed.
"Sherman's Sentinels," gaunt
brick chimneys, still mark the
march from Atlanta to the Sea.
But Sherman was right. The
march through Georgia brought
an earlier end to the Civil War.
On December %, 1864, Sher-
mans Army entered Savannah
and in letter he offered the city
to Lincoln
AS boy, Sherman wanted to
be a soldier. He graduated with
honors from West Point, took part
in the Mexican War and resigned.
He practiced law at Leaven-
worth. Kansas. and failed at that.
