has to say about the infricacies of this GI institution. Outside, the Eskimoes become extremely interested in each other and pay little attention when the ser geant is explaining the proper way to do an about face. After days of patient explana- tion and innumerable demontMa- tions, they finally learn to march in straight line in simple for nation. A column left" causes considerable. confusion and 'fby the right flank results in pan dernoniuIn.
 The drill sergeant, by this time, is on the verge of suffer- ing a cerebral hemorrhage and is muttering incoherently. I On the other hand, they show a remarkable mechanical apti- tllde. Some of them can watch a complex machine gun dismantled Rand then put together just once, and can take over and do a re- peat performance.
 ! One officer said he had heard of cases where an Eskimo, with some machine part broken and no replacement available, would take a piece of iron and a file and patiently file out a new part. They have infinite patience, he said.
 On the whole, they are intelli- gent and serve many useful pur- poses in the Alaskan theater. AS for army chow, the Eski- noes missed their native dishes of seal oil and fish, but most of them were already we'll acquaint- ed with most foods served. Pork chops are their favorite.
 They are extremely susceptible to common sickness of the white man and, having no immunity, are gravely i'll with simple ail- ments like measles. Large num- bers were hospitalized. Medical stocks of castor oil. salad oil and butter disappeared from refrigerators while trays of carefully-prepared hospital food were left untouched.

land, near the edge of the Arctic Circle, was threatened with an invasion.
 Dutch Harbor was still smold ering from two Japanese bomb ing raids, and Kiska and Attu had been occupied by the Japs. Enemy surface activity had been reported in the vicinity of St. Lawrence and the Pribilof Is- lands in the Boring Sea. Several Jap ships were reported steam ing toward Nome, which had no defense force capable of turning back full-scale invasion.
 An unidentified plane, flying higher than was possible for any based in the area, circled over Nome.
 Early on the morning of June le, achievements were ordered moved to Nome immediately, and the Fourth 1nfantry's second bat talion, reinforced with engineer. field artillery and anti-aircraf. units into a force of more than 2G00 troops, hastily prepared to depart from the Fort Richardson area.
 The move was made under the direction of Col Thomas M. Crawford, Lebanon, Tenn; CSC G-3 of ADO. Maj. E. H. Jacob son, Oakland, Calif., AC, repre- sented the Air Transport Com nGand, and Capt. Neil w. Phil lips, of the Fourth Infantry. Pa los Verdes Estates, Calif., then a first lieutenant, superintended the actual loading of planes.
 Only pitifully small number of army transport planes were available, the situation was crit ical, and orders required that the vanguard of the force-20 anti aircraft and guns and their crews I-lbe in Nome within 24 hours.

panies which had been stationed at Chilkoot Barracks for many years before the war when that was the largest army garrison in Alaska, became part of its third battalion.
 Some members of the famed Alaska Comba4 Scout Intelligence platoon, which includes many Alaska oldtimers, came from these two companies.
 Only few of the soldiers that were at Chilkoot Barracks for so long still remain in the coanpan-. ies. There are few, if any sol diers who have been on. duty outside the United States for SO long a time as these Alaska vet erans.
 First Sergeant James Kay, of Adams, Mass, Company ''K", for example, had been in Alaska for eight and one-half years, with the exception of one eight month period when he returned to the States with the Fourth. Several experimental and re- connaissance trips were conduct ed by the third battalion. One party of ten men made a trip with toboggans to Eagle River glacier and reconnoitered the vii cinity of Eagle River pass. Ma jor George A. Felch of Spokane Wash, now head of the Alaskan Department Experimental Board, and formerly with the Fourth Infantry, made a trip to various outposts to determine the best types of foot gear for various eli matic conditions.
 An interesting experimental trip was one on which Major Eelch led party of 28 men on a three-wea1s' trip to an area near Mt. Mckinley. Certain items of food, clothing and equipment were tested. AS a result of this trip and previous research, Ma jor Felch was called to Washing ton, D. C., by the quartarmaster general to make recommends on Arctic clothing.
 Members of the third battalion became past masters at the art

 Later the battalion was assign ed the task of cocnbing the area east of Chicagof Valley by Pa trol action, hunting out and de- strpying the scattered . T d doomed Japanese straeglers.
 The Fourth Infantry had add cd another battle streaTner to it's colore-no other unit of the Army beasts as rnany-but t had paid a high price. Approximate ly five officers and 60 enlisted men of the battalion were dead.
 Their experience in Alaska rroved invaluable to soldiers of the Fourth during the Battle of Attu, as evidenced by the fact that casualties from exposure in this battalion were few. The much-discussed immersion feet which took such a terrific toll among other troops were virtual ly non-existent in the ranks of the Fourth.
 The cold blasts of wind and the oozing nuskeg that kept clothing and sleeping bags sat urated was old stuff eto them. Consequently, they could relax and sleep when they were afford cd the opportunity, while other troops who, were newcomers to the Aleutians were too miserable 10 rest.

every suitable plane in the terri tory was requisitioned for the movement. The fleet of planes in cluded Stinsons, Bellancas and two old Ford tri-motored jobs.
 By midnight of the same day, after 39 individual trips, the anti-aircraft units had been nov ed to Nome and the big shuttle movement was under way De- spite weather that kept the planes on the ground part of the time, the entire force, along with all is equipment, with the exception of big field pieces and similar heavy items, was transported to Nome in a period of IS days. The movement could have been com p]sted ia a week had it not been for unfavurable weather condi- tions.
 Cargo carrying commercial planes coming in from Canada were used to supplement the air armada. The midnight sun, pro- viding almost a full 24 hours of daylight, made it possible for some of the planes to make two trips in single day.
 Ammunition. rations, tents, even 37 millimeter guns and field kitchens-everything nec- essary to make the force self sufficient-were moved by air without one single accident. Heavy weapons were brought up later by boat. Tie troops step ped out of the planes at Nome, equipped and ready to fight. A total of 218 flights were made in the movement.
 With Col. w. K. Dudley of Eustis, Fla, then lieutenant colonel, in command of the force, the defense of the area was has tily organized with the troops working long hours and until late at night. There had been only a small garrison at Nome until that time, and there were no fla cilities for housing or feeding the big force.
 Later, after it became apparent the expected invasion would not materialize, the troops prepared themselves for the bitter cold of the winter to come. Tents were

The battalion furnished some of the personnel for operating an Alaska Recruit Training daeach- ment where draftees from Alas ha, including Eskimoes get their basic training.
 The best method for teaching them close order drill, Fourth
 Infantrymen said, is to get all the native recruits in small room where they can not help but hear what the drill sergeant

winterized, buildings went up, the supply of rations was sup plemented. Nome is ice-bond about nine months of each year, and all supplies moving by boat must be brought in during the three summer months.
 The troops maneuvged in weather from 20 to 35 degrees below zero. They found that none of the elaborate feotgear pro- vided by the army protected the feet from this particular type of weather as well as the native mukluk, made by the Eskimos from deer and reindeer hides or seal skins.
 Major Roy M. Morse of Eugene Ore, who described the Nome adventure, said that the mukluk had no equal in a climate like Nome's. The army purchased 2 humber of them by contract from .the natives and provided every soldier there with a pair.
 The second battalion remained in the Nome area for about . year, later moving out the Aku. tIans to Dutch Harbor for a short stay, and then to Adak where they became acquainted with an other type of disagreeable wea- |ther.

every pint of milk possible this fall
and winter, would be to avoid
threatened rationing, which is al
ready being considered as nat
ional necessity if production drops
too rapidly with the approach of
fall. Authoritative thinking now
seems to be that rationing of milk
would work extreme hardships
generally, and that such rationing
will only be as a last resort"
General seeding of winter cover
crops on we'll prepared firm seed
bed in August and September can
make big difference in milk flow
during the most critical season. Not
less than 3 bushels of oats should
be seeded to the acre, or bushels
of barley, or 1l2 to 2 bushels of rye,
or 20 to IS pounds of crimson clover

grass.
Research practice at Marion, Ala,
Mr.. Higgins points out, is to plant
crimson clover the latter part of
July or early in August to have
grazing by Nov. /. After harvest
ing oats in early June the land is
plowed and then narrowed every
to 10 days to keep down grass and
weed growth, until seeded. Much
the same plan has been followed at
the Jackson, Tenn, station, Mr.. Hig-
gins says, seeding being from late
July through August.
A similar plan is followed in
Monroe county by w. A. Evans,
Muldon, in the seeding of barley
and vetch for winter grazing. He
does not turn his land, but for 4
years has cut his stubble with a
disc, having a firm seeded for late
August seeding. Though he has
heavy lime soil, by using this prac-
tice it supports his cattle like a
June sod within II to "a hours af-
ter the hardest rains. Oats and
crimson clover planted early last
fall on a semi-bottom field in Lee

Plan Winter Feed
For Plenty Milk

STATE COLLEGE, Miss.-Milk
consumption is about the same
each month of the year. Production
during winter months, November
through the first half of March,
drops to about third of that
for May and June. says L. A. Hig-
gins, extension dairyman, State
College.
Last winter the shortage of milk
locally resulted in inadequate sup
plies of fluid milk for men in some
of our armed camps-from not any
to one-half pint every other day.
Such situation seems intolerable, in
view of the value of milk for our
soldiers in keeping them fit,
Strengthening their eyesight, and
enabling them to throw off dis
ease. In battle small differences
mean life or death, let's do our
part.

The time will come when no far
mer in Mississippi will be known
as a sub-marginal or subsistence
producer, regardless of age.
We must continue our program
of increasing our production per
man, declared the State Director
during his discussion of the reported
labor shortage in the farm. When
a farmer has completed his work
he should not hesitate to assist his
neighbor with his crops.
During the past ten years, the
State of Mississippi led the coun-
try in the amount of progress made
in the field of agriculture, accord
ing to statement made by one OF
the farm officials at this meeting
If the farmers of this state will
adopt the farm program as pre-
scented to the different farm orga-
nizations attending this conference
by Colonel Long, new records will
be established and more honors will
