pregnancy, in order to prevent
the sow from becoming overly
fat.
A good mineral mixture, as 10
pounds of ground limestone and
2 pounds of salt, should be pro-
vided in a dry place, for the sow
at all times.
At narrowing time, the sow
should be fed lightly, taking 10
days to get her on full feed after
the pigs are born. Two good

300 pounds of fish meal or tank
age, and so pounds of minerals to
feed a sow twelve months, in
Guiding her two filters of pigs to
weaving age. However, since
Gull potatoes, acornS, and similar
feeds, may replace one-half the
grain ration, the amount of grain,
as we'll as purchased feeds, may
be reduced by utilizing these
feeds.
The feeding of leafy, green
colored lespedeza, clover, alfalfa
or soybean hay in a simple rack,
will be most helpful in 'balanc-
ing" the grain ration for dry
sows. Some supplement feeds,
in addition to grain, pasture, le-
gume hay and minerals, should
be fed to the SOW a few weeks
before the pigs are born, and IA
to Y pound daily, per sow, of
fish meal, tankage, soybean or

T. ]. Mcclure, of the Todd
community, has a Conservation
plan developed for his farm by
the New River Soil Conservation
District The plan called for a
1900 foot fence to be constructed
by the w. P. A. Conservation
crew, but the crew was discon-
tinued about a year ago due to
the war, This, however, did not
mean the end of the fence.
Mr.: Mcclure, realizing the need
for the fence, in establishing a
system of strip cropping and pas
ture improvement, started to
work on it, and in few days the
job of fencing was completed
and the strip cropping and pasture
treatment was under way.

BROOD SOW FEEDING AND
MANAGEMENT

Farmers who have some sur
plus grain can increase their
farm income by producing good
feeder pigs for sale. Good pigs,
grown within the area, are us
ually in demand, as wormy and
diseased pigs from other states,
or from another section within
the state, do not always give good
results when fed for the home
pork supply.
/ GOOD PASTURE is of major
Importance in the production of
thrifty pigs and one-third to one
half acre of crop land pasture,
properly seeded and fertilized,
will decrease the cost of keeping
a brood sow by at least 10 per-
cent.

before quite in the manner in
which you say it." Another one
of his statements: II have a
larger audience than Shakespeare
ever had"
Since 1888 he has been writing,
producing a weekly half-hour Sc
ries of dramas for NBC. Like
Norman Corwin, CHS genius"
Oboler made his mark because he
brought freshness to his work. He
is the first radio writer to use the
stream of consciousness" method
on the ether. James Joyce did it
in English literature and won i'm
mortality. Follow this through
with Oboler, please.
AS of this moment Arch Oboler
is the topic of discussion in radio
circles. His 'Playsfor Americans"
which are now being presented
over the Red Network, cry out in
anger. So does his latest book,
called This Freedom" "These
Plays for Americans, Arch
says, ARE filling my days so
completely that my life has be-
come a routine of work inter-
spersed with very small periods
for sleeping and eating" He is
serious as he speaks. ut is amaz-
ing how difficult it is to decide
upon the things that must be said
with simplicity, with honest emo
ton"
In explaining his problems and
his technique, Arch asserts: IF I
could and wanted to write these
plays in blank verse, it would be
another story such as: Democracy
stands upon a windswept hill, and
all the vultures of the night dive
toward her out of leaden Skies
That sort of thing is easy, but
try to explain what democracy is
in simple everyday terms; try to
put the story of liberty in the
mouth of the worker, or soldier, or
businessman. That's far from
simple"
And so Oboler has turned out
such plays as Johnny Quinn, U.
S. NJ" which is about an Ameri-
can lad who died at Pearl Harbor.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-04-17

Paul Revereski" is the story OF
a lad whose patriotism forced
changes in his elders. Memo at
Berchtesgaden," the story of
German agent who is beaten at
every turn by a clever Yankee
mind, is still another one of his
many efforts to lick Germany on
the propaganda side of the war.
Arch Oboler got into trouble a
few months ago when he announc-
ed that Greta Carlo would ap-
pear on his program. With his
characteristic manner Oboler had
forgotten to ask Carlo to appear.
When the Great Lady heard about
it she asked: "And who is Arch
Oboler? ?"
The answer is known to mil
lions of radio listeners in America.
Arch Oboler is a genius and
fighting writer who directs and
produces radio dramas which cry
out to America that the United
States must win this war and that
radio will help win it.
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-04-17

Arch Oboler is a radio genius.
Arch Oboler is full of sound and
fury, signifying nothing" These
widely different opinions about
radios 32-year-old wizard, who
has turned out more than 400
radio plays, many of which are
unforgettable, are typical. Oboler
can't be taken calmly. Either you
love him or you hate him. No
in-betweens, no evasions.
The life story of Arch Oboler is
a grand mixture Of comedy, stir
ring melodrama and business
brains. Arch started out on the
highway of life with one ALIEN
bracing idea: he wanted to be a
naturalist. For years he collected
so many insects, animals, etc.,
that he found a zoo on his hands
within a short time. But this
s7idn't faze him. He looked a.
round and saw a great story in his
zoo. So, at the age of ten he
wrote-and Soda tale about his
collections of living worms, in
sects, animals, etc.
Today Arch is not naturalist.
His University of Chicago train
ing-he studied electrical engin-
eering-also dropped by the way
side. Today Arch is a radio writ
er. And what people think of him
is a shock and a shame.
Arch Oboler is the son of Leo
and Clara Oboler. He grew up
in Chicago and attended the Uni
versity there. James T. Farrell,
Meyer Levin, Vincent Sheehan,
John Gunther and flock Of other
wIiters came out Of this influen-
tial college. But Oboler, no doubt,
is the most fascinating of them
all. AS a student he submitted a
