In a very short time it will be
hay cutting time and perhaps
now is a good time to mention
that high quality in hay is lost
if the hay is not properly handled.
We know from chemical analysis
and feeding experience that quail
ty is in the leaves and finer parts
of the stem and that very little
food value is stored in the coarser
stalks.
Three things to remember in
production of high grade hay
are ID cut early; 90 save the
leaves; 60 preserve the green
color.
Most kinds Of hay have more
protein when they are cut early
Three-fourths of the digestible
protein in the hay is in the leaves
Hay in which the green color is
preserved is better liked by the
animals and contains more car.
rotene which is the carrier OF
Vitamine A.
Cut alfalfa when it is one-tenth
to one-fourth in bloom; red OF
alsike clover when it is half in
bloom; timothy when fully headed
to early bloom.
In order to save the leaves
farmers should not let the hay
crop get too dry. This is especially
true with the legume hays. Put
it in small windows the day II
is cut. It is a good rule never to
let the sun 60 down on your hay
in the swath, says Hegnauer. And
don't wait until the hay is as dry
as powder to get it into the bale,
or the stack, or barn.
Two things take the green color
out of the hay while it is curing.
One of them is moisture such as
dew or rain. The other is sun.
When it comes to bleaching by
the sun the farmers who make
high-grade hay strike a happy
medium. Hay in the swath cures
quickest and bleaches most. Hay
in the large windrow dries slowest

In keeping your garden in top
shape this spring, give some
thought to PREPARATION of a compost
pile, which is practical necessity
nowadays to the home and market
gardener points out John Dodge,
Extension Horticultural.
Pick out a spot on the edge Of
the garden where you can dump
the waste leaves, carrot tops,
weeds and other organic matter.
Pile a few shovels of dirt over
this matter. It helps to sprinkle
some fertilizer on the compost,
the horticulturist says. Besides
commercial fertilizer, you may use
horse or cattle manure, poultry
litter, peat and other materials.
The use of six or eight pounds
of ammonium sulphate to each
half ton of vegetable matter will
hasten decomposition. Super
phosphate should also be used.
Pile the materials in layers of dirt
and organic matter about six in
ches deep. A compost pile should
never be allowed to dry out. If
made early this summer, it should
be in good condition for use by
next spring. See your county
agent for further detail.

REMEMBER
Memorial Day, 1945, was a SOL
emn occasion, yet it was q day
fraught with a tremendous prom
Use. It is hoped that it marked
the last wartime observance OF
Memorial Day.
Every generation since the day
was first established to pay honor
to the war dead of the Civil War
has witnessed a wartime observ-
ance. And every generation has
prayed that it would be the last.
Now the peoples Of the world
have before them the responsible
ity and the opportunity to make
that prayer a reality to make
the world free from the burden
and horror of war for all time
to come. :.
We can start by eliminating all
defeatest talk. We've all heard it:
"War is inevitable every 20 years
-" It is NOT inevitable
if we make up our minds as a
collective commonwealth Of ma
tons and as individual citizens
that we. can find a solution. Our
children and our children's chill
dren may look at moss-covered
graves in memorial cemeteries and
shake their heads in wonder as
they say: "What fools our fathers
werei"

Life Down on the Farm


PITTSVILLE. WIS. = Peter the
Great, a pet woodchuck Of the
George Yetters near Pittsville. has
become domesticated, and from all
indications he likes living on the Yet

Mrs. Yetter found the baby wood

him to their farm. named him
Peter and fed him milk with . medi-
cine dropper until he became .
seven-pound, playful little animal.
One day last September. Peter
wandered into the garden. dug his
first hole and hibernated for the
winter. In April he left his den, and
was found wandering In the garden
by Joe Arnold. a road patrol
man. Mrs. Yetter was summoned.
and Peter seemed tickled to see her
again.
Again he was fed with an eye

pounds, but now he eats all he can
get. He Is very fond Of lettuce. and
has developed a taste for sweets.
especially ice cream and cookies.
Peter makes himself at home In
the Yetter house. When the Yetters
are too busy to play with him, he
amuses himself with an old rubber
ball, and when he is tired he climbs
up on the davenport for q nap. The
farm cats are afraid Of the wood
chuck. but Peter has. made friends

The last line of the above poem reminds us of 8 bit of an cient local lore that was interest Ing to us.
 A local woman who as a little girl was raised at the Kodiak Baptist Mission, tells us that as a child she loved to visit with older people in town and listen to their tales of ancient life ID Kodiak.
 Many of the stories she has forgotten, but one she recalls concerns an old superstition a. bout the white rocks that occur with some frequency on the local beaches.

Glittering the silver hoard Seeks our crystal streams, LaziIy the great bears ford Them in the silver gleam. Busy tenders on the bay On their urgent chores, And our lands defenders sway Proudly from their anchors. Sheep and cattle fill their need In the tender verdure, Needing not to learn to heed Either fence or herder. Green and verdant are our isles. Gems of Northern shores. Treasure-laden Nature smiles On land of pagan lores.

Compulsory Physical
War Training Urged
BY Tad Wieman
BY BUS HAM,

hsSuCIdteu fTeSS sports writer.
Tad Wieman, former Michigan
and Princeton coach, spoke up en-
phatically today for not only uni
versal military training, but a ma
tion-wlde physical fitness program
as we'll.
"One program without the other
would be unsatisfactory in improv-
ing physical standards, found shock
ingly low in this war" he told a re-
porter.
But integration of the two pro-
grams would give the Nation a
yardstick with which to measure the
physical soundness of thousands of
young men every year." he added.
Like Coaching Football.
Wleman, civilian consultant to the
War Department on physical fitness,
said that physical fitness develops
the man: military training develops
the team the machine"
ITS like coaching a football
team, he elaborated. 1.-THE coach
needs good parts, good players. If
he doesn't have good parts, he
doesn't have good team. The
same thing is true of a Nation
When Germany folds. the War
Department will have co-ordinated
physical fitness-universal military
training program ready for consider
alton by Congress.
Il am satisfied that Army officials
are ready and eager to utilize to a
Tar greater extent than ever before
the many important contributions
that physical education can make to
the total program Wieman said.
Prescribes Five Hours a Week.
Wleman thinks that at least one
hour day, five days a week should
be set aside for physical training.
If boy has had sound physical
training up to the time he graduates
from high school, when presumably
he will go into years military
training, he will be ready for intensi-
fed military work without devoting
part OF his time to being whipped
into physical trim" Wieman said.
And if he is in good trim at 1S. he
Will remain physically fit for another
20 years or SO as the result of "ac-
qulred habits and skills to keep him

good music take care of the rest.
Oh, yes, the show also has a couple
of voices that know a high C from a

Rough Floor Causes Spills.
The only fault with the floor is
that here and there a stray edge
juts up just enough to trip some
body. Miss Nord was one who
came acropper. Another was Mic
key Meehan, nice-looking boy who
ranks with the best skaters. He
took two falls and the second was
nasty enough to knock loose one
wheel ON his skate. But those who
fell got an added volume of ap-
plause from sporting audience
that appreciated their problems.
The show has little Of everything
woven around the skating. includ-
ing an aerial ballet and the Shy
rettos and their bikes and unicycles,
but the skating took top honors.
The square dance in the Texas

audience. But it would be hard to
top Miss Nord or that bolero. You
