It's pretty hard concentrating on
l. a job of moving just after you've
stirred up a nest of bumblebees.
Likewise, a COW has hard time con-
centrating on her job of producing
milk while pestered by heel flies.
Heel flies bother COWS in the sum-
mer, but you can do big part of the
job of controlling them now. In the
summer, flies lay eggs on the cows
hair. These hatch into maggots which
form grubs under the skin. The
grubs hatch into flies in the spring.
Whether you know the heel fly
by that name or some other, and
whether you call them grubs,
MARBLES, wolves or what, they
are the same pest.
By destroying grubs in January
or February, you cut down the fly
population next year. Treatment
generally recommended is to apply
to the backs of cattle with stiff
brush, a wash consisting of IL ounces
of derris powder and two ounces of
soap flakes in a gallon of water.
Hand busting is another SIM
pie way to do the job. Use a tin
can with ten to Is holes punched
in the bottom. Thoroughly mix
a pound of ground rotenone-
bearing root with a pound of
wettable sulphur. Sprinkle the
mix over the animals back and
rub it in gently with your hand.
The Extension Service, University
of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho, covers
this subject in War Circular No. 5.
Farmers Bulletin No. 1896 from the
USDA, Washington, D. c., also
discusses it in detail.

Alfalfa wins all rcughage popular
,ity contests hands down and ] hope
you are planningon an ample supply.
An acre per COW is a pretty good way
to figure. Alfalfa is highest in protein
and grows we'll in nearly every region.
If you use clover, timothy, les
pedeza or some other hay crop,
you'll have to plant a greater
acreage than if you use alfalfa.
Illinois figures GO lbs. of diees-
tib1e protein per acre of alfalfa,
$50 per acre of lespedeza and 24O
per acre of red clover, so you see
how much more actual food
there is in alfalfa.
Circular SOP from the Extension
Service, University of Illinois,
Urbana, ILL.,, has a table showing the
feed value of hay crops per acre, and
suggest you write for copy.*

CROW MAN SERVES
ABOARD ALABAMA

Matthew Stops, metalsmith,
third class, USNR, is serving
aboard the USS Alabama which
in one months time raided the
Jap mainland twice, lombard
ed a Jap-held island north of
Okinawa and rode unscathed
through a violent typhoon, ac-
cording to word received here
recently.
One of the raids against the
Nip homeland was uneventful,
but during the other operation
the Mighty A., as the man.
o'-War is known to her crew.
ment, ran into a hornets nest
of Jap suicide pilots.
Scores of the Kamikaze planes
were shot down outside the
task force formation, but at
least four came in close enough
to be splaShed by the guns of
this and other ships. Alabama
gunners claim credit for down.
ing two of these planes and for
assisting in destroying another.
One KamikaZe, a "Zeke" type
fighter. flew through clouds of
ack-ack before singing out
this ship as his target, but as
ne turned to make his death
run his plane was hit and
crashed flaming, a scant 300
yards away.
During her bombardment as
signment, the Alabama turned
loose her 5 and 16-inch guns to
Pulverize Jap shore instaua-
tons.
The typhoon the battleshir
: experienced pounded the IS, O0C
ton vessel for hours, causing
lie" to pitch and toss heavily
but she came through undam-
aged.

Two Hardin Men
On USS Sangamon
Reeder and Trussell On
Navy Escort Carrier
Hit by Jap Suicide

Lieutenant Commander Ed
gar H. Reeder, son of MIR. and
Mrs. A. w. F. Koch, and Lieut.
enant G.g.) Homer Trussell,
son of Mrs. Goldie FfnlaySon,
were aboard the escort carrier
Sangamon when it was struck
by a Japanese suicide plane on
May 4 off the coast Of Kerama
Retto. near Okinawa. The blast
ing of the Sangamon was re-
vealed by the Navy last Satur-
day, Aug. 10.
The escort carrier was a
converted tanker, one of the
first of the navy's baby flat
tops, and was swept by raging
fires for five hours. Casualties
were IL dead, IS missing and
10 wounded, Reeder and Trus-
sell both escaped injury, how
ever.
The action occurred at 1888
pm. on May 4 when IL Jap
planes came in to attack the
small carrier. Nine were shot
down by Marine Corsairs, a
tenth fled, the eleventh was
shot down by the ships guns,
but the last one got through
to crash the center of the
flight deck.
The enemy pilot had dropped
his bomb just before crashing
the American craft, which
burned five hours, during which
time the crew fought fire with
out communications, sometimes
without control of the ship and
sometimes without water pres
sure. They won, despite the
fact that the fire divided the
ship in two, making it impos-
sible for those in the forward
portion to reach those in the
after part.
Capt. A. L. Malstrom, the
ships skipper, stated that the
low loss of life resulted from a
previously prepared plan where
by crew members in the hang
er deck should Immediately eV-
acuate the area when the Ships
guns started firing,
The course of the Sangamon
was uncomfortable and she
swung as the direction of flame
and smoke constantly shifted
until finally the after steering
mechanism was rugged up so
that the ship slowly worked in
to a favorable course for COM
batting the fire.
The Sangamon is now under
going repairs at the Norfolk
navy yard in Virginia. 1t.
Commander Reeder and 1t.
Trussell are now stationed in
Norfolk.
