EISENHOWER WANTS TO
UNITE ARMY, NAVY

Washington-Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower declared that the
era of atomic energy weapons"
makes unification of the armed
forces a must.
Not only is unity of concept,
indoctrination and training more
necessary than ever" he told the
senate military committee. But
"only through a single depart
ment can coodinated development
of new weapons be assured"
Unless unification is achieved,
and quickly, the general foresaw
separate army, navy and air
forces going their separate ways.
'They will no more fit together
than a bulldog and a tomcat on
a team" he added.
Acting Chairman Johnson Cd
Colo.) announced that Fleet Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz, who
flew here from his Pacific COM
mand, would testify in an unusual
session. Secretary of the Navy
James v. Forestal supplied names
of more than twenty admirals and
civilian navy leaders to testify
against the unification proposal.

Point Score Lowered To IS

$4,000 servicemen and women
became eligible for early dis
charge under a new relaxation OF
the army discharge system which
included a lowering of the point
score for male enlisted personnel

The change will make all male

The discharge score for male Of

but WAC officers still need 81
points.
The War Department said that
on Dec. l it expects to have l.
$4,000 officers and enlisted per
sonnet in the army, but eligible
for discharge. This would in.
clude the $4,000 who will be.
come eligible then, plus 700,0Gs

Cost Of Producing
Milk Extra High

The feed cost Tor producing 100
pounds OF milk in Norrn Caronna is
now $50, according to records OF
county Dairy Herd Improvement As
sociations.
This cost is entirely too high,
says John A. Arey, in charge of Dairy
Extension at State College. High
feed costs and inability to get good
labor at reasonable wages have driven
some of our best dairymen out of
business. The situation is becoming
critical"
When asked about feed costs per
100 pounds of milk in 1910, for ex-
ample, he said that the Guilford As
sociation's cost in that year wasS 1.
43 average for the first five months
of the year, S1.05 for the three fall
months, and $1.49 for the three fall
months.
"These figures show that we must
produce cheaper feeds, and one of the
best methods of doing this is through
the use of temporary grazing crops" "
Arey Says. "The dairyman who seeded
some such mixture as 2 bushels of
oats, 1 bushel of barley or rye, rye
grass, and crimson clover last fall
about the first day of September and
fertilized it well, will find himself in
clover this spring.
"We should seed some lespedeza
now for summer and fall grazing, and
plan other grazing crops to come in
when our pastures get short dl ing
the summer periods when permanent
pastures are short"
With reference to permanent pas
lures, Arey suggests that the cows
be kept off the pastures until the
grass has had the opportunity of
making good growth and that the pas
lures be not overgrazed during sum-
mer. He also suggests that pastures
be moved often enough to keep down
weed growth and that they be well
lined and fertilized.
