Professor Powers says, some
100000 acres of Oregon soils can
confidently be expected to yield
an extra ton of Alfalfa per

hold true in Idaho, Washington,
Wyoming, Montana, in fact, in
all our Western States.
We read in MINERALS IN
PASTURES, page 26, by Orr

is of extreme Importance in an
imal nutrition, and as we
know, sulphur content of our
soils is low, therefore it must be
applied artifically to our soils.

BY loosening up tight soils
you thereby allow greater dis

Studies made by the depart

show that each pig narrowed

pounds of feed, which is "a pro-

eaten by the brood SOW. And for
each pig that is narrowed alive

there is q further loss of 100

more feed. Altogether, the fin

equired nearly a half ton of

of hog cholera, for instance, at

lost insofar as edible meat is
concerned.
Proper feeding of the brood
sow, sanitation, and good care
of the pigs at and following

PACIFIC:
Fear Invasion

Making no bones about their fear
of an invasion of their homeland, the
Japanese government moved fever
ishly to prepare the country for the
e~ventuality, while at the same time
pushing efforts to organize occupied
China against a thrust from U. S.
forces.
Her predicament underlined BY
the U. SIS gradual advance toward
the homeland, and the destructive
aerial raids on her great urban CEN
tiers, Japan's leaders called for the
establishment of virtual martial law
in the country. permitting expropri-
alton of land and demolition of
buildings for defense purposes.
Though high military authorities
believe that Japan. like Germany,
will not be bombed out of the war
because of the decentralization Of
her industry. U. S. attacks have
cut into some of the enemy's pro-
ductive capacity. besides causing
serious civilian dislocations. Al
ready. almost half of Tokyo's civil
ian population has been evacuated,
it was said.
Besides impairing the home
effort, such raids as the recent
carrier plane attacks on the
Japs' great inner naval base in
the Inland sea bounded by the
home islands of Honshu, Kyushu
and Shikoku serve not only to
cripple the enemy feet but also
damage important repair and
anchorage facilities.
Although the Japs feel that any
direct assault on the homeland
would give them the advantage of
short supply lines and land bases
from which to develop counter-meas-
ures, they are looking worriedly to
the Chinese coast. where they be-
lieve the U. S. might drive ashore
to set up invasion bases.
Thus. high military authorities pre-
sumo. the enemy will continue to
play for time in such outlying bat
tie zones as the Philippines and
Burma to permit further develop
ment Of Chinese u and
additions to the 500, 900 Chinese
troops repeatedly fighting for them
so as to be better able to meet an
invasion of that country.

CROP ACREAGE:
To Drop

Because Of a decrease in hog
numbers in their own lots. an ex-
pected drop in demand for feed
grains and a switchover to crops
with lower labor requirements.
farmers will put fewer acres to i'm
portant grain in 1945, the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture reported.
Basing its report on farmers dec
larations Of intentions, the USDA
said that corr acreage would be
down 3 per cent under 1914. barley
IA per cent. and soybeans az per
cent. AS exceptions, wheat acreage
was expected to increase AZ per
cent and oats 8 per cent.
In addition, the USDA's reports
on acreages for other crops showed
general decreases from last year,
with increases forecast only for
sugar beets, 1axseed. tobacco and
rice.
With the weather generally favor
able. finances ample and seed and
feed plentiful. chief obstacles to l945
production lie in manpower and ma
chinery shortages, the USDA de-
clared. Indicated acreages in dec
larations Of intentions might

nances and the effect Of the report

laboratory workers emphasize
the Importance of good range
management in parasite control.
Systematic use of the range so
that sheep are continually NOV
ing to new range is strongly
recommended as is the develop
ment of good watering places.
Other control steps suggested
include treatment of ewes in

of lambs, if necessary, and on
the advice of a veterinarian.

an ardent Nazi, who gained notice
through his development Of strong
defensive lines in Italy. Trusted by
the Nazis to stand fast in the face OF
the overwhelming Allied onslaught,
Kesselring succeeded Field Marshal
Won Rundstedt, who was relieved
of his command following reports
that he had failed to negotiate an
armistice with General Eisenhower.
As Kesselring took i've the Ger
man command, his ha~rd-pressed
forces faced the Canadian LIST, Brit
ish End and U. S. 9th armies on
the western border Of the Ruhr,
while the U. S. LIST army built up
strength for a drive to the south OF
the vital industrial valley from its
Remagen bridgehead.
Following a tremendous concerted
aerial bombardment aimed at soft
ening up the enemy's real areas,
these four Allied armies stood ready
to strike to the east of the Rhine
and break into the open German
plains on the high road to Berlin.
Farther to the south, the U. S. 3rd
and 7th armies, having cleaned out
the Saar, drew up against the for
ested mountain country to the east
of the Rhine in this sector.

Double Trouble

Thus, while Kesselring had his
hands full trying to hold the Allied
armies off from the open northern
plains, German commanders in the
east experienced equal difficulty
meeting the Russian onslaught over
the other end of the level northern
country in the east. From Stettin

serried defenses of Berlin while
the Nazis still talked about a last
ditch fight behind concrete pillboxes,
bunkers, tank traps and irrigated

Though massed in the greatest
strength before Berlin, the Reds also
exerted considerable pressure to the
south. seeking to batter their way
through the mountain masses in Up

PROMOTION IN

Baseball is declared to need a
promotion man" by Larry Mac
Phail and others. We second the
motion. Many things that would
raise baseball to the household es-
TEEN enjoyed, say. by movies, ra-
dio. etc. are neglected.
For instance, is baseball far be-
hind the time in putting emphasis on
keeping it clean? Isn't baseball los
ing its appeal by insisting that the
athletes conduct themselves with
good taste? Isn't scandal essential
today to popular appeal?
A movie star gets into a series of
~disgraceful episodes and is featured
anew in heroic war roles! Another
screen hero sounds off publicly in a
night club on his private love life
and his fan mail doubles! A young
lady becomes an overnight rage
through a particular catlike person
atty!
Isn't it possible that the mob would
tear down the baseball park gates to
get a look at a southpaw who had
just survived three indictments for
cradle snatching? Wouldn't the at
tendance be trebled by the appear
ance of a shortstop who had divorced
two wives and was romping around
the gay spots with a new sweety?
Maybe the falling off in baseball
attendance last year was due to the
fact no club carried enough gag men
to flood the press with wisecracks
which the ball players thought up in
the swankiest bars in town?
We pause for a reply. And we're
afraid we will get it.

Another job a promotion man
might tackle would be to put more
emphasis on food at the ball games.
