Veterans Guide
By Moi. Thomos N. NioI

It isn't correct to compare the
monthly premiums we have to pay
for National Service life term"
insurance with the premium for
converted permanent form.
The term" insurance we bought
originally when we were on active
duty was purely temporary, low
cost protection for q mother or wife
or brother.
But the permenent NSLI policies
are life insurance policies which
have constantly increasing cash and
loan values and which will pay
dividends.
A correct comparison Is to take
a look at the costs of commercial
life insurance policies-the kind sold
by privately operated insurance
companies. Then we'll see where we
stand.
An NSLI ordinary life policy
would cost a veteran $1.37 per thou
sand each month if he converted
and started paying premiums at the
age of IS. That's 1870 a month
for $4,000 of insurance, $l64.4o a
year.
For the same coverage, including
waiver of premiums for total dis
ability, a typical commercial COM
pany charge would be about SO
a month-$228 a year. That's $63.30
a year more than a similar NSLI
policy would cost a veteran.
A 30-pay life government policy
is $16.70 a month-age Is, for $10,-
900 worth. Total, $200.40 a year.
The same policy in a privately
operated company would cost about
$76 more q year.
A National Service 20-pay life
policy-age 25- would cost some
thing like $96 less than a 20-pay
life in a commercial company,
again for the full $4,000.

DreeQ OF dairy cattle, req In color
that would be more suitable to
Western farmers. Red was desir-
able because of long habits of buy
ing. They demand better market
prices than the spotted or lighter
colors.
The new strain also had to be
rugged, of good size and possess
the milking characteristics of the
best dairy breeds. These charac-
teristics, plus the red color it was
thought, would enable farmers, par
ticularly in the West, to accomplish
more with dairy COWS, since culls
from their herds would bring bet
ter prices on the beef market.
Experiment Aims Changed.
AS the experiment progressed
however, the idea of creating new
breed was discarded. 1t was felt,
instead, that the crosses-using
proved stock representing Jersey,
Holstein, Guernsey and Red Dane
breeds expand the useful
ness of registered cattle, since it
relies on the use of proved sires as
essential in maintaining high pro-
duction levels.
1t was further felt that the COM
nercial application of crossbreed-
ing would fit well into the artificial
dissemination programs being estab-
lished in many dairy communities,
enabling dairymen to produce cross
bred calves for sale as surplus
mixers.
The crossbreeding experiment, con-
Quoted at the departments re-
search center at Beltsville, Md, diff
fered from the usual pattern in that
it called for continued introduction
of new genes, or inheritance units.
K Records Exceed Hopes.
For example, the females result
ing from the mating of any of the
two breeds, such as Holstein and
Jersey, are then mated to a Red
Dane for three-breed cross. These
three-breed females, in turn, are
mated back to either Jersey or
Holstein bull of the second genera
tion.
Records of 80 cows that were
two-breed crosses, at an average age
Of 2 years and months at calving,
show the average milk production
was 1882 pounds, with an average
592 pounds of butterfat, or 4.64 per
cent. This represents an increase
over the dams of about 20 per cent
more than indicated by careful CAL
culations.
While the results of the expert
ments are still inconclusive, depart
ment officials believe the way may
be opened TO, dairymen specializing
in one or more of the established
breeds to materially raise produc-
tivity of herds through cross
breeding.

Attractive Garden

Now at the peak Of It's towering
period, a garden at the home of
Horace w. Peaslee, architect, at
1884 Nineteenth street NV, is at
tracing considerable attention. It
is practically public, as it fronts
on the street, between building line
and curb, and is separated only by
a low fence, now covered with q
combination of roses and ivy. Pink
and yellow climbers are in bloom, as
well as ground plants, symmetrically
grouped around a sundial Mr..
Peaslee developed the garden to
demonstrate what can be done with
high cultivation of a comparatively
small area.

DeneUL OF Jne country people anu
their city neighbors.
Minus the usual fanfare Of the
carnival. that in past years became
a part Of the old County Fair" the
Howard event will include shows of
fine dairy and beef cattle, horses,
poultry exhibits, Al Club displays
and exhibits of farm crops.
Cooperation Is Slogan.
The idea behind the Howard fair
may be best described by William S
Ledbetter, manager and secretary
treasurer of the Howard County
Farmers Cooperative, who is serv-
ing as general manager Of the fair
We've got to learn to live to-
gether in our community and CO.
operate with each other" Mr.. Led
better said. THE time is past when
the various groups making up ou1
society can live of to themselves.
This fair will sponsor the COM
munity spirit, and it just may be
that some Of our city neighbors who
visit us then may realize the food
they eat comes from the country
They may see that they, too, are q
part of the country community"
Here In Howard County, we fee
sure the fair will be success, and
we rather hope that it may point
the way for similar events in other
counties. We feel gatherings o1
farm and city people, where dis.
cussions of current problems may be
held, is an important factor in the
future we'll being ct agriculture.
Howard Farmers Progress.
Howard was the first Of Mary
lands dairy counties to begin the
artificial breeding program set ul
in cooperation with the University
OF Maryland. We were operating
the program April l, using bulls
from Doughoregan Manor, the $500.
acre farm owned by Philip Carroll
great, great grandson of Charles
Carroll, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence.
BY the time the university's stuo
was established last week, there were
63 dairy farmers owning 1,050 cows
signed up for the program. We have
requests for membership from &
additional dairymen, and it is ex.
pected that by the end of the veal
more than 100 Of the county's herds
will be included.
Howard farmers recently launched
another program-that of provid.
ing facilities for spraying barns
poultry houses and livestock witt
DDT.
Through the local Farm Bureau
a high pressure, 150-gallon spray
outfit was purchased and schedule
has been set up. Using the high
pressure equipment, we find that 6
one per cent DDT solution, is suit.
able for barns and .02 per cent solu.
ton for spraying cattle.
Later we plan to use this equip.
ment with the new 2-4-D weet
killer in q program to eradicat.
honeysuckle and poison ivy.
We feel here in Howard that ".
are pointing way that may vel
be followed by our neighbors IL
other counties.
