BY ROY HI. GROUSE
Ashe County Farm Agent

Every Ashe county farmer
should make plans now for more
feed of the right kind for his
livestock. Without a doubt, COM
mercial feeds will be high next
fall. It is especially necessary
now in wartime to grow even
more feed than is actually neces-
sary, for we can't afford to take
any chances.
Legume hay and silage are the
feeds we need to stress at this
time. Soybeans make excellent
legum hay. Lspedeza does well
on most any farm and makes ex-
cellent hay. Red Clover and al
falfa do we'll in Ashe county on
soils properly lined. Every farm
with six or more head Of cattle
should put up silage. A trench
or box silo is inexpensive and
can be built in size to suit any
farm. Regular ensilage corn
should be planted for best yields
of silage. Eureke or Pamunkey
ensilage varieties will give a
higher yield per acre. The coun-
ty agents will assist any farmers
in the county with plans for con-
structing silos.
More cattle can be fed per a.
ere on silage than any other feed
and they will come through the
winter in much better condition.
With the serious labor shortage
facing US, we should produce all
the feed we possibly can on less
acreage. Over rs Ashe county
farmers are feeding silage and we
would be conservative in saying
at best, 1000 silos could be con-
structed very profitably in the
county. The fact is, silage is our
cheapest feed for livestock.

based on the knowledge gained in
his 10 years auditing experience.
For the past eight and hall
years he was engaged rs field
auditor for the state of Washing

nection with the Minneapolis Trib-
une. followed by employment with
highly technical department of

ing sea rescue.
II was Moody's shsrp-sighted-
ness and the bravery OF the little
Catalina flying boat crew which
saved the army filters at the risk
Of cracking mp in the churning

Moody recalls Il saw the flares
from the life raft.
And 80 we dipped down to
land. guess that's the closest
ever have come 10 the end. In
q minute like that you think OF
everything, it's all crammed up
together. and then suddenly it's
all over"
Once on the water. the navy
crew had 10 steer clear OF the
little group OF exhausted army
filters lest they be caught in the
planes propellers.
Moody and the others tossed
lead line out and picked up the six.
All We're Cold
''They were plenty cold" Moody
recalls. Eight and a half hours
in the water. They told us they
got lost and ran out Of gas. When
the plane crashed two of Its crew
were killed.
The ones we picked up were
bruised and one OF them had
great cash. We stripped down TO

gear tthe warm outfits Alaskan
filters wear when on duty patrol

Taking off II wasn't NO bad.
There were fourteen of us In the
plane and we only bounced four
times when we took off.
I'VE took them back 10 our
base. They're all well now. ex-

make any more combat flights.
The crash ended that for him."
Only n Hint
Moody's furlough was over a

that she had learned none of the
details. NO close-lipped was her

tender he was on was attacked by
three Jap bombers which dropped
Ia bombs. Two of the enemy
planes were downed by anti-air- |

pretty mad because he didn't get
