former president of the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone Co., died here
yesterday. He had retired from

years in the telephone industry.
Mr.. Belt became president Of the
firm at the time of its formation
in 1921 after previously serving as
general plant superintendent and
president of the Northwestern group
of telephone companies.
Born in Richmond, Va, Mr.. Belt
came to Omaha at the age of 13,
attended college in Racine, Wis, and

cular 48, this four-page leafiet has
been prepared by H. L. Richardson,
Extension poultry specialist for the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, and H. R. Baker, poultry
pathologist for the State Board of
Agriculture. Poultrymen will find
in the circular a complete discus
sion of the symptoms of fowl pox,
types of pc vaccine, methods of
vaccinating, and dangers to guard
against while vaccinating the poul-
try flock. Sinece fowl pox is pre-
valent in Delaware, poultrymen of
the State will want to obtain a

SPECIAL SUMMER PASTURE
Sudan Grass Provides Good Pasture
Saws Claude e. Phillips

One of the most economical ways
to produce milk is to have a con-
tinuous supply of good pasture. But
unfortunately a knee-deep green
permanent pasture on Delaware
farms in midsummer is the excep-
ton rather than the rule. And the
reason, says Claude E. Phillips, for
age crop specialist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, is that Delaware weather con-
ditions in midsummer, hot weather
and often a lack of sufficient mois-
ture, make luxuriant pasture grow
tn impossible. The shortage of per-
manent pasture in midsummer can
be overcome, Phillips points out, by
providing a special crop on another
area on the farm. The outstanding
ing crop for this purpose is Sudan
grass. One acre of Sudan grass
we'll fortified will provide grazing
ing for three cows from early July
until frosts appear in the fall. Phil
lips recommends that Sudan grass
be seeded at the rate of 20 to 25
pounds per acre just after corn
planting in late May or June. Those
farmers who plan to overcome pas
ture shortage during hot weather
with a seeding of Sudan grass will
find it best to use a good soil that
has been well prepared with an ap-
plication of from $50 to 800 pounds
of 3-12-6 fertilizer per acre. Su-
dan grass pasture can be grazed
about six weeks after seeding.
Phillips recommends dividing the
pasture into two sections and graz
ing one section at a time. But
here's a word of caution-Farmers
are advised not to Craze Sudan
grass during wet weather since the
tramping will cause severe injury
to the plants at that time The
grass should not be grazed when
extreme dry weather has caused it
to wilt, or after frost. There is
some danger of poisoning at these
times.

supplied Immediately to OPA Of
ficials. Governor James agreed
also to relay the request to chief
executives of counties and munich
palities in the rationed area.
Most effective of the steps taken
undoubtedly was the announce
ment by Price Administrator Leon
Henderson in Washington, follow
ing a reques tfrom OPA here, that
the types of cards issued to motor
lists are to be made a matter of
public record.
This will bring to bear upon i'm
proper holders of tx" and "B-3"
cards the pressure of public opin-
ion from neighbors and other asso-
ciates. Such pressure, Chief State
Enforcement Attorney Callaghan
said, is likely to be "a greater aid
to enforcement than a thousand
Jail terms"

fort.
From that attitude we fear
many persons have mistakenly
drawn the conclusion that we do
not intend to enforce the rationing
regulations. A smaller but still
formidable segment of the motor
ing public apparently has determ-
ined to obtain and use as much
gasoline as it can, regulations or no
regulations. AS a result, we have
been forced to undertake a sweep
ing investigation"
OPA attorneys already have ask
ed rationing authorities to make
available to them the names of per-
sons who received "X' cards in
Philadelphia, and similar requests
undoubtedly will be made in other
Eastern Pennsylvania counties.

now there has been nothing else to
solve the problem.
Now you can have legs and arms

Statements on the strength OF
which these cards were issued will
be checked.
OPA inspectors also will visit
filling stations to check on the OBJ
servance of rationing limitations
on the part of station attendants as
well as motorists.
III response to a telegraphed re-
quest from Wayland H. Elsbree,
chief OPA attorney in Philadel-
phia, Governor Arthur H. James
has agreed to ask all state motor
police in Eastern Pennsylvania to
check on the type of rationing card
carried by all traffic violators they
