Award Goes to Arnold

CHICAGO, Sept. 18. (UP)-Vice-
presidential candidates of both MA
ior parties Monday told the 26th
annual convention of the American
Legion that rights CT returning vet
Grams must be protected and that

peated.
The speakers. Senator Harry S.
candidate for vice-president and
Governor John w. Bricker of Ohio,
Republican presidential candi-
date, both are veterans of the first
war Senator Truman served in
France as commander of an artil-
lery battery and Governor Bricker
was chaplain.

Bricker said that each returning
veteran is entitled to have his job
back, even at the expense of the
civilian who held it while he was at
war.
Truman told the Legion that it,
as the largest organization of for
mer servicemen. faced a grave re-
sponsibility in that. he said, affairs
of the nation will be in the hands
cf veterans of the first and second
world wars for some time after hos
tilities cease.
Warren Atherton, national COM
mander of the Legion, presented
the Legion's DISTINGUISHED Service
Award to General Henry H. Arnold
and a memorial service was held for
the late Brigadier General Theodore
Roosevelt, who died in France
shortly after the invasion of Nor
mandy.
Atherton told the Legion in his
annual report that it has con-
tinued its fight for universal serv-
ice law which would freeze all prices
and place all persons in the service
of the government: We have point
ed out that if such acticn had been
taken before the war, as urged by
the Legion it's cost would have been
greatly decreased

ton will be selection of new ma

They'll Come Back

They'll Come Back
Laments come thick and fast these
Gays because SO many people arc
leaving Imperial Valley to make
their homes elsewhere. This always
makes us sad, of course. But don't
worry Many of them will come back.
Can't you remember how many
have gone away to live, stayed a
while, and then returned to the
valley? Let that comfort you.
There is another side to this pic
ture. Think of those who have had
opportunities to go elsewhere but
continue living in the valley because
they like the people and have faith
in the valley. for instance
The man we are going to tell you
about does not know we know any
thing about this. Guy Weakley, city
superintendent in Ell Centro, had
the opportunity of lifetime but
decided to remain in El Centre. He
was offered the executive position
in the California state department
of education's division of education
for returned SerVicemen. 1t was
a powerful, important position with
a salary many times what he re-
ceives in Ell Centre. Wealey refused
to leave FL Centre, declaring that
he would not leave when it is SO
hard to get teachers and the other
war; time difficulties were to cope
with. Besides, he LIKES Ell Centro

That was good community cooper

Salvaging Alfalfa Seed Is
\ Problem Of Extension Men

BOZEMAN-To cut down the so
percent loss in alfalfa seed between
setting and bagging and to salvage
as much good small grain seed as
possible is the problem now being
attacked by extension agronomists.
Because of the extremely good
growing season and abundance of
moisture in many sections, weeds
and other crops have sprung up
this year where they were not ex-
pected and have made it impossible
to clean up these fields. Many of
them are not in shape for registra-
ton but could and should be cleaned
up well enough to be used for APP
proved seed, says Ralph D. Mercer,
extension agronomist at Montana
State college.
A conservative estimate, accord
ing to Mercer. is that so per cent of
the alfalfa seed is lost between the
time it sets and the time it is in
the bag. Proper system of harvest,
he says. will do much to reduce this
loss. Timeliness in operation is also
important. The rule of cutting al
falfa for seed when only half to two
thirds of the pods are brown is only
a general rule and must be tempered
with the year and with the method
of threshing.
The ideal way to handle alfalfa

is to cut it on the green side with
a self reaper, allow the leaves to
wither down, and then start stack
ing 1t in long, marrow stacks where
each load has a chance to mature
a little before a load is placed
on top of it.
To cut down loss of seed he dis
courages the method of cutting al
falfa with a mower, raking, bunch
ing and threshing in the field. This,
he says, is n of the most expen-
sive methods of handling the crop.
Loss OF seed by handling by this
method comes from mauling, shat
tering caused by fall rains, and by
grasshoppers. Combines present haz-
ards also, and their success depends
largely upon the individual using
them and upon the evenness of ma
turity of the crop.
