Her brother-in-law, William Ed

Ton OF Milk Floods Nickel Plate
Crossing When Freight Hits Truck
Bumper Corn Crop
But Fodder May Be
Scarce This Winter

A LTHOUGH this district is
harvesting one of the big
gest corn crops in recent years
many farmers are anticipating
shortage of fodder this winter.
Reason for this situation is
attributed to the shortage of
labor for corn cutting which will
force many farmers to resort
to mechanical corn pickers.
Harvesting by this method
leaves the corn stalks standing
i'm the field and deprives the
farmer of the use of fodder
used for feed and bedding i'm
the wintering of livestock.

gun to anyone who fooled around
his girl.
One afternoon Drake and Randy
flashed out Federal street at a con-
spicuous clip.
Mrs. Henry Gordon, sitting in
her south bay window, busy with
her crocheting, saw them. brakes
back was turned her way as he
talked, but she caught a glimpse
of Randy's face as she made some
laughing response. Mrs. Gordon
frowned. The girl was really
pretty probably common looking
If you saw her close, but at that
distance she was decidedly pretty.
Randy Monaghan certainly look
ed frank and - happy. And she was
certainly out in the open with what
ever it was she was about. The girl
surely couldn't be setting her cap
for Drake McRugn. That kind of a
girl to marry into the Union street
crowd = for, no matter how you
looked at 1t, Drake McHugh belong
ed to that crowd and, moreover, he'd
have money. She had to admit
sch rather liked Drake. But 1t
had been necessary to teach him
a lesson. He must know he
couldn't come around Louise and
be seen with trashy people at the
same time.
There was another person who
had noticed Drake and Randy.
That was Louise herself. She had
been standing at the open window
directly above her mothers Sit
ting room. She drew back q little
when the buggy passed, but she,
too, had seen the look on Randy
Monaghan'S face, and had heard
the soft, contented laugh that
fioated back.
Louise, like all Of Kings Row,
felt that this affair with Randy
was different. 1t was quite pos
sible that Drake might want to
marry Randy. And, of course,
Randy Monaghan would jump at
the chance to marry Drake. Who
Wouldn't Heaven knows she want
ed him herself. More than ever now
If only she had some way of calling
him back. She'd pocket lot of her
pride, she'd go more than halfway,
but she didn't even have that
chance now. He never even looked
her way any more. She had written
to him, but he had not answered.
She thought of Paris Mitchell.
If Paris were here, she believed
she'd try to get him to help
.straighten things out. Paris could
do anything with Drake, it seemed.
She sat down on the edge of
the bed and hunched her thin
shoulders as she braced herself
against tears.
Downstairs Mrs. Gordon had a
sudden intuition. She went quiet
ly to Louise's room and opened
the door. Louise was crying now.
"Louise!"
Louise did not turn. She
dropped her head, and was silent.
what are you crying about?"
Does it make any difference?"
Mrs. Gordon's face hardened.
She was angry at Drake, and still
angrier at Randy Monaghan. Her
narrow, fierce devotion to her own
child took a strange turn in her
mind. All the harsh violence of
her feeling turned on Louise as
If she were to blame.
Don't answer me like that!"
"Why can't you let me alone?"

Louise stood up. Her eyes were
dry now, and she was trembling.

Mrs. Gordon dropped her cro-
cheting and struck Louise across
the mouth with all her strength.
Louise stood perfectly still. A
little streak of blood showed on
her lips. Mechanically she wiped
1t away with the back Of her
hand. Mother, don't you ever do
that again! Don't you ever touch
me again as long as you livel"
Mrs. Gordon was shaken and
somewhat abashed by the sudden
ness of her own rage. But she felt
she must keep face.

u. 5. Turning Desert
Into Farms, Brid|ing
Rivers 10 Beat Axis
Vast Irrigation, Electric
Production Plan Told
By Reclamation Head
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DENVER, Oct. 16.-As part of the
United States war effort, the Gov.
ernment is converting deserts into
food-producing land to feed the
United Nations and harnessing riv-
ers to power the factories turning
out war machines.
This double-barreled program was
explained yesterday to the National
Reclamation Association by Fed
eral Reclamation Commissioner
John c. Page.
To guard against possible food
shortage in America and in the
countries fighting at her side, the
Federal Reclamation Bureau has
undertaken to irrigate 10000, ,OOC
acres of land in the West and to
build huge .hydroelectric plants to
supply power for war industry, Mr.
Page said.
Increase Of 100000 Acres.
At present about 4,50000O acres
of landsare irrigated under reclama-
ton projects. The huge increase
which will result from projects un-
der construction or authorized, will
include 100000 acres of desert in
Arizona and California" Mr.. Page
told the reclamation association at
one of its annual conventions OPEN
ing sessions.
More than 10000 farms irrigated
by the bureau produced food valued
at $200,0O0000 this year and much
OF the produce, Mr.. Page said, went
to the Army.
The reclamation program, Mr..
Page declared, will give irrigation
benefits to $4,000 farm families
and 100000 residents of IS West
ern States will be served by power
and supplemental water facilities
planned by the bureau.
All of the power projects will
serve irrigation, directly or indi-
rectly, although they were designed
primarily to develop power for war
work, Mr.. Page said.
ROVER output Greatly Boosted.
Western power plant capacity, ac-
cording to plans, will be increased
to 2,500,0 kilowatts by July, 1943-
a boost of l60 per cent in electric
volume in two years, and this, Mr..
Page added, can be increased to
100000 kilowatts by additional in
stallations in the plants.
These 4,500,000 kilowatts. Mr..
Page explained, could put 10000
bombers and fighting planes aloft
annually if devoted entirely to air.
plane production.
In addition to supplying power
for war industries, the projects are
furnishing water for cities and mill
tary camps in the West, Mr.. Page
pointed out.
Mentioning various projects, Mr..
Page said that Parker Dam in
Arizona would be producing power
for war work in Arizona next month,
that the capacity of Boulder Dam
would be greatly increased in De-
cember and that numerous projects
would be completed next year, in
cluding Green Mountain Dam in
Colorado and Shasta and KesWick
Dams in California.
