1t takes approximately 200 gallons
Of milk to grow a milk-fed Holstein
calf to 16 weeks of age. But fine calf
can be grown on only Is gallons Of milk,
II the other ITS gallons are replaced
with about 400 pounds of dry feed.
That's releasing n lot of milk for hui
man consumption, milk for which the
government is asking as part OF the
national defense program.
The plan for saving this milk is
simple according to E. B. Pratt, dairy
specialist with Purina Mills, manufac-
turers OF a dry calf feed called Calf
Startena, rich in the ingredients a
growing calf needs.
Briefly, the plan is this. The calf is
permitted to suck for the first three
days. During the next four days. she
is given a quart Of milk night and
morning, plus all the Calf Startena she
will eat. During the second week the
calf receives two quarts of milk night
and morning, plus all the hay. water,
and Calf Startena desired. During tine
third week, the amount Of milk Is in
creased to two and one-half quarts
night and morning. but for the fourth
week, the milk is reduced to one and
one-half quarts per feedlng. AT the
end of the week, milk is discontinued
entirely.
Calves do much better when dry
food and water are before them so they
can nibble and drink any time they
wish" Pratt explains. Many dairy
men prefer timothy or mixed hay to
alfalfa or vine hays because calves may
over-eat on the latter types and Scour.
The calves should always have salt
available"
Costs Less and Easier to Feed
Pratt says that it is considerably
cheaper to grow a calf on the method
outlined. Of course. the saving de-
ponds upon the price received for the
milk sold He explains that on the
usual milk method of feeding, approx
inlately 200 gallons of milk a.e needed
to raise Hols.2in calf to four months.
On the dry feed method, 1t takes only
about % gallons of milk and four bags
of Cali Startena. In other words each
bag replaces approximately 40 gallons
of milk.
Besides milk, there is also a consid-
cradle saving in time and labor. For
example there are no messy milk
buckets to keep clean and free OF flies.

seen American tanks and planes fighting magnificently and had seen the beginnings of the shipping routes which some time will carry the supplies for which our Allies wait.
 But he said the immediate need was for the American people and their leaders to begin to think and act offensively, to begin to mobil- ize. not for defense, but for attack.
 Willkie pleaded that we organize now to win the peace as surely as we are going to win the wa.
 ''TO win that peace" he said, ''three things seem to me neceS- Sary:
 T. We must plan for peace on on a glObal basis.
 "2. The world must be free, economically and politically for nations and for men that peace may exist in it.
 8. America must play an ac- tive, constructive part in freeing it and keeping its peace"
 Willkie depicted the United States as the western power to which the eastern nations look for help and understanding and aggressive aid in solution of their problems. There was no room in Willkie's world pie ture for any postwar empire other than as such an institution might carry over while the whole colonial system was being dis mantled.
 He said the United States en- loved a vast reservoir of good will and friendship among the peoples of Asia, the middle east and the Soviet Union. He pointedly excluded Great Britain from such relation ship with the peoples of those lands.
 But he said Russia and Chins were beginning to question oul promises, not only on shipments O war materials but on the kind of world we are fighting to create.
 He called the roll of global prob lems-India, definition of war aims new fighting fronts. movement o1 lend lease aid to our Allies-anc reported that in the areas he wis tied the United States is under sus. picion on all of them. Rightly ol wrongly, he said, the Atlantic charter seems less than adequate tC those teeming millions who art thinking in terms of charters fol the Indian ocean or the Pacific.
 we are punching holes in ou reservoir of good will every day, Willkie said, 'by failing to defin, clearly our war aims. The 200, ,000, 900 people of Russia and the 450, COG, ,O00 people of China-people lik you and me-are bewildered an' anxious. They know what they ar fighting for. They are not so sur of us. Many of them have rea' the Atlantic charter. Rightly o wrongly, they are not satisfied They ask: What about Pacifi charter; what about a world char ter?
 Many of them asked me tn question which has become almos a symbol through all Asia: Wha about India?"
 Willkie explained that he ha not visited India and did not inten to discuss that tangled question But he related that "the wisest ma in China" had told him it was tn United States and not Great Brit ain which suffered in esteem in tn Far East when the question of In dian freedom was postponed.

 Then the Russians attacked, and killed 5000 more of the enemy nov ing into the front beyond the nils surrounding Stalingrad's southern annroaches. The Russians drove on into a grove behind the hills and forced the Germans to retreat 15O wards. They had spent six weeks fortifying the grove.
 "On the southern outskirts ot Stalingrad, Soviet units counter-at- tackled, destroyed 10 machine guns and wiped out more than 400 Ger mans" the noon communlque salo:
 Marshal Semyon TimoshenKoss men. now deep in the German le1I flank northwest of Stalingrad. sur rounded a village, closed in and took it street by street, killing 600 Ger mans. It was the second village that the Russians had captured since Sunday.
 On another sector northwest ot stalingrad, Soviet forces killed 300 Germans and destroyed six tanks.
 Dispatches said the battle inside Stalingrad ragged from dawn to dusK with "unusual ferocity," the Ger mans never ceasing their costly at ternpts to drive through a factory l settlement in a northern district to the Volga.
 The Soviet high command quoted nrisoners that the entire German 35Oth Infantry division (15,00O men) had been killed, wounded or cap tured. with the exception Of 20 or 30 men, in these attacks.
 The Germans continually shel and bombed the factory ols- trict. They made at least 300 oomn- ing sorties yesterday, but no lasting gains. and the Russians were nat- ting fiercely to recover a few hun dred wards they had lost earlier.
 "In the Stalingrad area there was stubborn fighting" the noon com muniuue said. Soviet troops IT inc northern part of Stalingrad re- pelled attacks, destroyed six tanks and about battalion Q,OoO men of infantry. Prisoners state that tnt entire 350th German infantry olVl- sion has been killed, wounded ol taken prisoner except 20 or 30 men.
 The army organ, Red Star, com menting on a recent speech by Gen eral Ditmar, spokesman for th' German high command, said tns Nazis had been forced to admit tn' failure of their summer campaign.
 "Hitler's army is bleeding pro fuseIv. his plan to destroy the Rex army is bankrupt and his dreams Q decisive successes this year naV' been disippated like smoke" Ee' Star said.
 Assessing the Soviet success soutl of Stalingrad, the government orgar Izvestia said both German Hank were now on the defensive, ant the Germans simply were not abl to fight on all sectors of the front because of their heavy losses.
 The Russians also were holdin in the mountains northeast o Tuapse, secondary naval base ol the Black Sea, 75 miles below NOV orossisk.

 Allies Hold Control
 The communique indicated that the Allied forces held the upper hand in the ground fighting, al- though no major tank clashes had been reported yet.
 Sunday night and Monday" 1t said, "our forces extended the area they had occupied within the en- emy's defenses. Yesterday, our gains were maintained. The fight ing continues"
 The official announcement laid heaviest emphasis on the air fight ing. It said Allied planes, among which were many American ships and crews, ranged from Alamein to Tobruk. Their activities included an attack on an Axis convoy of Tobruk yesterday, during which a large enemy merchant vessel blew up after it had been hit by bombs and aerial torpedoes. The Allies had lost 10 planes in their widespread operations, the communique said.
 Achievements Needed
 The convoy attacked of the vul- nerable port of Tobruk was another indication that Rommel was mak- ing frantic efforts to get reinforce ments to his Afrika korps before he was forced by the Allies to make a stand. In the course of the at- tack, the communique said, a large tanker burst into flames.
 Large scale air operations con- tinued in the battle area and over the forward landing grounds night and day Sunday and Monday" the communique said. "Bombers and fighter bombers attacked a variety of targets and fighters, operating day and night on large scale shot down enemy aircraft. In addition, a Messerschmitt-1 109 was destroyed by return fire from one of our light bombers and another by small arms fire.
 Continual fighter patrols were carried out for the protection od IOu4 4A44A 4VANCSo eA6AAAAov V4ANAAJ 0S- tivity, which was on an increased scale. An enemy tanker of Tobruk burst into flames and large enemy merchant vessel blew up following hits with bombs and air torpedoes during attacks on a convoy yester. day.
 After one of the attacks, oul long range fighters shot down twt Heinkel-111's.
 "Our Malta fighters shot down a least three Messerschmitt 109' during attacks on the island yes terday, which were on a slightl. ; reduced scale,
