Looks like that Jack-of-all-trades-
soybeans-has a chance to do a
rescue job this year. This time soy
beans can help out on flood relief
and can replace freezing losses.
Reports indicate that there was
some alfalfa damage during the
winter. If your field suffered winter
kill or has been hit by flood water,
soybeans may be the answer.
The crop grows to cutting
stage rapidly and will fill that
need for a high protein hay. Your
county agent will have a list of
the. soybean varieties which are
recommended for your area.
Imagine that he also can provide,
you with a booklet which will give
you some help in planting, growing
and harvesting.

Just tip the lids of your milk cans
at such an angle.
If you have milk-house with a
utensil rack your empty cans are
stored upside down, with lids off,
between milkings When you do not
have such an arrangement, keep the
lids on tight.
Cans should be kept in a pro-
tcctcd place but there are dust
particles in the air at all times.
If the lids are tilted, some of the
dust may get into the can.
Your cans are washed and cleaned
thoroughly before they leave the
dairy plant. It's up to you to see
that dust does not get into the can
after it gets back to your farm.
Tests prove that milk cools as
rapidly with the lid on tight
as it does when the lid is tilted
while the can is in the cooler.
And don't forget, always be sure
to sterilize the can with a chlorine
rinse before milk is strained into it.

"N fake hay while the sun shines"
Iva is something we've all been
told many times, but it's even more
important to make hay before the
bloom shines too bright.
Some farmers make hay just
to fill their NOV, but the good
dairy farmer makes hay to fill
his cows with the right kind of
feed. The time for cutting is
most important. Gut nay early,
il you want it to have tine most
possible FEED value.
Alfalfa should be cut at one-tenth
to one quarter bloom stage. Cut
clover at half bloom stage, sweet
clover when the buds show or earlier
and grasses as soon as headed and
before they bloom.
Soybeans should be cut when
the first pods are filled and before
the lower leaves turn yellow.
Follow these suggestions and
you'll put up really good hay.
Minnesota has a little leafiet which
will give you some good ideas on
making high quality hay. tits Exten-

Flood periIs
Soar in South
Thousands ef Acres
are lnundoted

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March "a
Up Floods inundated addi-
tional thousands of acres OF
farmland in West Tennessee
and Southwest Louisiana today
and a new threat developed
along the st. Francis river in
Southern Missouri and Arkan-
Sas.
A growing break in the
Booths point-Tennemo levee in
Dyer county, Tennessee, sent
the Mississippi pouring over
some 10000 acres, and scores OF
families were evacuated without
incident.
State convict and local labor
had battled for weeks to save
the seve nm i e embankment
after a fracture in a small pri-
vate levee to the south. At the
time of yesterdays break about
10000 acres were already under
water in the area.
State guard troops were
rushed to the scene.
Meanwhile some 80 families
in the Wick area of Avoyelles
parish had to flee their homes
when a crevasse occurred in a
Red river levee about 80 miles
southeast of Alexandria, La.
No weak spots had developed
in the main levees along the
lower Mississippi and, with the
opening of SO of the $50 bays OF
the Bonnet Carre spillway, the
river was expected to be kept
under 20 feet at New Orleans.
The Mississippi, rising grad
ually all the way downstream
from st. Louis, reached 38.8
feet, 4.8 above flood stage, at
Memphis yesterday and passed
l9 feet, two feet above flood
level, at New Orleans.
The flood danger in southern
Missouri and northwest Arkan-
sas was posed by the Wappapelo
dam and reservoir. Col. &C. w.
Miller, Memphis district engi-
neer, said the reservoir was now
near spillway crest and there
would be no way of controlling
the flow in event of heavy rain.

BOUNCED OUT of a couple
of bars, one of those nuisance
drunks was ordered out Of town
by police the other day, and they
watched him head for the De-
troit-bound bus which had
brought him here. AS soon as
their eyes were off him, he slip
ped into spot for another one
but was promptly evicted,
and again ran afoul of the law.
This time they marched him to
the bus and put him on, while
many spectators watched his
goofy antics. But he climbed off
the bus down the street and cir
cled around the block. AS he
zig-zagged his way up South
Walnut street he talked aloud
about the Police Department
"the ornery blankety-
blanks running him out of
town. What a bunch of flatfoots,
etc, etc"
Finally he met a man who
looked like a good pal! So the
drunk promptly edged him to
the side Of building and re-
sumed his inflammatory TRADE
against police in general and
the Mount Clemens Police De-
partment in particular
Between hiccups he explained
how they'd put him on the bus
twice but he fooled 'em good
and he'd do 1t again, by
golly! But he didn't. For
by that time the "good pal" he
had met identified himself as
Police Chief Art Rosso and
marched our inebriated friend
away not to the bus de-
pot, but to Jail!
