FARM YOUTH Is
DOING ITS PART

Oh;o's farm youth through its
All Clubs and Future Farmers or
ganizations is dong its part in the
war effort. Ea.h boy and girl is
carrying a special project to pro-
duce food or fiDle or to supply
labor hours. Both organizations
sponsored projects this year in
which each member pledged to
produce enough food or fibre to
keep one of our fighting men for
one gear.
While each individual effort may
seem small, the total produced for
the state presents an amazing fig
ure. Almost six thousand tons of
food were. produced by the All
Club members and an equally
large amount by Future Farmers.
In addition a livestock and poultry
program was carried on which
yielded many more tons of food.
Farm Labor Program
The governments emergency
farm labor program gave the boys
and girls an opportunity to per-
form real service for hard pressed
farmers. Records kept by Federal
farm labor agents in the state re-
vealed the facy that high school
boys and girls, mostly in rural
areas, accounted for more than 90
per cent of the states part and
harvest time labor force.
Schools were operated on a part
time basis during the harvest sea-
son and students worked in or
charGs and fields gathering apples,
peaches, grapes, potatoes, beans
and tomatoes. Farm authorities
admit that the harvest could mot
have been made without the help
of the All, Future Farmer and
student groups.
Bond Selling Auction
A steer feeding program, Al
Club project il many counties,
yielded an all-tine top in bond sell
ing in one rural county. The steers,
purchased in November and fed
through the summer as a project
by both boys and girls, were auc-
toned off at the county fair.
Bids were accepted only in War
Bonds. The animal judged winner
in the feeding contest brought
total of S135,0CU in War Bonds,
easily the highest price ever reg
for a white-face.
The more than forty animals
which were under the hammer that
brought War Bond pur-
chases of almost q million and a
half dollars.
Other Activities
Farm boys and girls have hung
up enviable records in other fields
Of war effort, solicitation i'm
US @. and other drives, fat and
scrap metal collections.
One county in which students of
rural schools handled the entire
scrap metal collection reported
that each student accounted for
more than ton of metal, a ree-
ord.
: Paper collections in rural coun.
ties have been handled almost en-
tirely by the school children and
the records show that percentages
Of collection have been highest in
these areas.

Winter Good Time
To Prune Trees

BOZEMAN.-There are two rea-
sons why winter time offers good
opportunity to get the farm orch
ard ready for the coming summer,
according to E. E. Isaac, extension
horticulturist at Montana State
college.
First, he said, needed pruning
can best be done in the winter
when the trees are dormant; and
second, more time is available to
do the job in the winter.
In pruning fruit trees, Isaac ad-
vises that unless the pruner is ex-
perienced and understands the
growth habits of fruit trees, it would
be best to do nothing more than
remove dead, diseased or broken
branches. Heavy pruning is not
recommended because of the dam
ger Of upsetting the bearing habits
OF mature trees and Of delaying the
fruiting of young trees.
When branches are removed, they
should be. cut close to and parallel
to the trunk SO that the wound will
heal over, Isaac said. Stubs left
from improper pruning leave the
tree open to attack by disease and
decay All large wounds should be
painted with good tree paint or
white lead paint after the wound
has dried for two weeks. If it is

A MESSAGE FROM ELMER
DAVIS

Elmer Davis, Director Of the Of
flee of War Information, lately had
this message for the nation in re-
gard to rumored cuts in war pro-
duction:
Recent talk Of cutbacks seems to
have left the idea in some minds
that we are about ready to 20 back
to the production of civilian goods
The feeling behind such talk is that
the war is in the bag, that we can
begin to relax. No feeling could be
more, dangerous to the nations Sc
curity. The war won't be over till
the last shot is fired. As / said in
recent broadcast, we have got
past the preliminaries and have
come to the main bout. But that
bout still has to be fought, and for
it we will need everything we can
produce.
1T is true that news has come
out lately about certain cutbacks
in certain lines of war production.
When we have beaten Germany,
such cutbacks may assume some
importance. But we haven't yet
reached that point, and it is harm
full to the national effort to sup
pose we can begin to ease down
now. Our soldiers aren't easing
down. They are facing their great
est battle. The civilian population
must face the future in the same
Way-With the knowledge that the
showdown is still to come, and
to win it we at home have to keep
on producing everything we can
with all the energy we can mus
ter. To turn now to the production
of civilian goods, or to fix our talk
and thoughts on it, instead Of the
winning Of the war, would be to
divert part Of our strength from
the real job at the time we need it
most"

Above all, Isaac emphasized, never

CITY THAWINC DRAINS TO
 CLEAR STREETS

The past week, in addition to the work performed by the sun in clearing away our winter quota of snow, the city street depart ment has been busy trying to thaw the many drains which have frozen solid during the winter.
 The surface water, not having drainage, has been washing out surface materials from theestreets and backing up around and under buildings and homes, causing some damage to foundations which are below the street level.
 Within few days the situation should be cleared as drains again take away the surface water.

TRIPOD ON TANANA RIVER ENDS ANNUAL EVENT AS ICE GOES OUT AT 2:OS AFTERNOON OF MAY 4th
NENANA Alaska May 5.-(Special to The Mug get).-The Nenana ice broke yesterday afternoon at 2:OS o'clock, releasing estimated $125,O00 to eleven winning tickets, five of which held by associations of unknown size.

The winning tickets were listed under the following names:
 Joseph Hartman, John Nelson, w. P. Macdonald Co, John Peno- vich, James Vauros, Alex Glisson Co.,, w. R. Sherman Co., Adriano Lucchui, R. B. Morris Co.,, An chorage school faculty, Alexander w. Wilson.
 M. J. Cooney manager of the an- nual ice classic, said
 Nearly every resident of Ne mana was on the banks of the Ia mana river when the tripod on the ice began to tighten the wire which was attached to the clock on shore to record the winning time
 It was estimated by some of the rlVermen that the river would be free of ice within a hours, and they would begin launching their boats and barges for the summer traffic at that time.

 He said: "At this moment, the situation is zero, but it may change, and it is possible they may raid from a carrier or a con verted carrier, hoping to create confusion and some damage, and for the present this is the only practical method of attack, but it carries with it the certainty of losing the carrier and it's planes. ,

DERBY TO BE STAGED ON MUDDY FIELD

LOUISVILLE, Ky May S. {AP)-While light rains kept in- tact the string of 34 hours in un- broken succession, in which the moisture turned Churchill Downs racing strip into a virtual sea of slop and mud, Is horses entered the 10th running of the Derby to- morrow, Saturday.
 The list was completed only a half-hour before closing time to- day, when the names of all the ex- pected entries were filed with the racing secretary, with the only surprise among the field of i3 colts and five geldings being the entry of "Comanche Leak" owned by Mrs. Floyd West of Dallas, Texas.
 The chestnut gelding easily won the 6l furlong dash yesterday over much the same track which is expected for tomorrow's run, and heading the list of favorites who improve in mud, from Mrs. Payne Whitney's Greentree stab- les, is "Stir Up". M. B. Goff's "Skytracer" is another proven mudder, and Warren Wright's 'Pensive" is only a fair perform CT through heavy going. T. w. Breault's Challenge Me-, who also improves over an off track, has entered, as has Mrs. George Poulson's "Broadcloth", whose mudding ability is little proven, if at all.
 The IS will face the barrier about l2:15 Nome War Time to- morrow. It will be the richest of all derbies, with a gross value of $87,800, with $66,20O going to the winner.
 Continuous rains are indicated unless the sun and the wind do yoeman work for the next 24 hours.
 The track is muddy for the first time since 1929.

JAP ADMIRAL
 SAID KILLED ON BATTLE-GROUND

NEW YORK, N. Y, May s. (AP)-The Tokyo radio today an nounced the death of Admiral Mineichi Koga, commander of the Japanese combined fleet, as killed in action, less than a year after his predecessor, Admiral Yama. naoto, met similar death
 He has already been succeeded by Admiral Soemu Toyada, 58, commander of Yokosuka naval station. Admiral Zengo Yoshida heretofore in command of the Japanese fleet in Chinese waters, will take over the command of the Yokosuka Naval Station.
 The broadcast, recorded in the United States by monitoring sta tions, quoted the Imperial head quarters communique as saying:
 "Koga died at his post in March of this year, while directing gen. eral operation at the front"
 The wording of this communi- que bore a striking resemblance to the Tokyo communique of May 21. 1943, announcing Yamamoto's death in warplane crash the previous April, while directing general strategy on the front line"
