Milk Production
Nav Set Record

Milk production is likely to es-
tablish new per-cow record for the
third consecutive year, according to
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les Of the Agriculture Department.
Despite a 2 per cent reduction ir
the number of cows, milk production
during the first 1947 quarter exceed
ed the same period last year. Total
milk production this year is not ex-
pected to exceed the 119,7oo,000,
900 pounds produced in 1916 unless
pasture conditions are unusually
favorable.
Feed costs have increased SUBJ
stantially since mid February ane
are likely to remain high. Prices
received by farmers have faller
more than seasonally.
The milk-feed and butterfat-feec
price ratios in mid-March, while
close to the longtime averages fol
the month. were lower than in mid.
March last year. These factors sug.
gest, the bureau said, the possibility
of future decrease in the monthly
rate of milk production compared
with 1916.

Hay Proteins,
II ests Show
BY jones Birchfield

Dairymen can prevent heavy losses
| OF protein from hay crops ~
making silage OF homegrown for
ages, according to Agriculture p
partment dairy specialists.
Under humid conditions, aIi
enormous amount Of protein Is lost
through conventional methods OF
harvesting and storing. .
In experiments conducted at
Beltsvi1le it was found that more
than one-third Of the protein IN
| an acre of alfalfa may be lost when
| the crop Is made into feld cured
hay, even during ideal hayins
weather.
Specialists said losses from the
first and second cuttings Of alfalfa
for hay ut Beltsville In l945 anount-
led to 264 pounds per acre, or the
equivalent Of $50 pounds OF hnseed
oil meal, which at 4 cents q pound
is worth $50.
However. specialists said, when
the cuttings were made into silage
| by the willing method, the loss OF
protein was only 127 pounds. This
protein saving, in terms OF linseed
Ioil meal costs, amounted to $3.50.
Feeding tests with dairy cows
indicated that the alfalfa silage was
slightly better for milk production
than the hay that was made from
the same crop.
! Specialists said farmers, part1cu-
larly those in humid regions, should
consider shifting from hay making
to silage making, and make plans
now for such shift in operations.
The labor and machinery costs per
ton of dry matter fed are not ma
terially different in making hay or
silage.

Advice to Any One
Thinking of Buying
Some Ducks
Prize Contribution
By Peggy Honfmon, IA
Poul Junior High School

I had four, ducks which I named
Donald, Herman, Hewey and Louie.
Now, after I had these ducks for
around six months, they started to
get real mean. So one day when ]
was home from school, my mother
went outside to hang up her clothes
I was digging in the yard. When
my mother got to the elothesline
Donald, the oldest, started after
her. I thought he was Just playing
at first when he went up to my
mother and grabbed her by the leg
1t sure was lucky that she had or
slacks or he would have hurt hel
badly.
My mother was so frightened, she
just kept on hollering, I'm not
afraid Of you," over and over.
started to laugh, but when I saw
that he really wanted to hurt her
I stopped. I ran and got my hoe
and then chased Donald into his
house.
The next day, he chased me into
the house, so We decided to sell him
and the others, too.
A few days later, when we tried te
catch Donald to put him in a box
to take him to his new home, he
tried to bite my father. Now he is
at his new home, and every Satur.
day when we go over to visit my
grandmother, we see him. He still
remembers my mother.
If you ever buy any kind o1
ducks, be sure you know that they
are real ducks and not half duck
and half goose.

Home Means a Lot
To This Little Girl
Prize Contribution
By Anne Cunningham, II

No person walking past my home
would notice anything unusual
about it. The lilacs growing near
the side of the house might hold
their attention for moment; or
maybe it would be the two dogwood
trees on either side of the path.
These mean something to me, but a
stranger would not be particularly
Impressed.
Everything about my house seems
extraordinarily beautiful to me. 1t
is because to me, it is not just a
Ibrick house, but a home. The Diff
ference is in the people who live
there Even the dog helps make
the place a home. 1t does not mat
ter when I get home, she is always
there with hearty welcome.
But mother makes the most i'm
portant part of our home. 1t is not
the same without her.
AS to my favorite room, I think
it is the living room. Its fireplace
and the antique furniture, which
has been in our family for years
make me feel that I am where ]
belong.

Girls Song-and-Dauce Act
Entertaius Hospital Patients
By Edword A. Greene

Eleven year old Beverly Baum
really puts her best foot forward"
when she does her song-and-dance
routines for the service centers and
hospitals in the District area.
Beverly began dancing for the
USO when she was only 8 years old.
It all started when her dancing
teacher, Miss Ellen Waller, was
asked to bring some students out to
Fort Meade to take part In the
camps shows. Two months later,
again with the USO, she danced at
Walter Reed Hospital. and when
her grandmother, Mrs. Dorothy
Baum, asked her how the perform
anee went, she said: ''It was won-
derful. When 7 left, they were
happy, because I really put my best
foot forward"
Some time later, she was dancing
with a group for Walter Reeds
ward SO at Stansbury Hall, under
sponsorship Of the American Legion,
and was scheduled to do six song
ambulance numbers; but at the end
of the third one, she was forced to
stop, because she had a tempera-
ture of 101 degrees. She wanted to
finish her numbers, but her doctor
said 1t was not advisable under the
circumstances. At the end of this
dance she was presented with
large bouquet.
She has also danced at Mount
Alto Hospital, the Home for Incur
ables, the USO club at Eighth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV.
Boiling Field, the Sphinx Club and
the Eastern Star Home.
Beverly is very busy youngster

Sailing Adventure
Prize Contribution
By Pat Woring, IS
Foirfox hiah School

Last summer, I stayed in Oyster
Bay, Long Island. Every day, I
went fishing, and occasionally sail
ing, rowing, etc.
One afternoon, I went out in a
dinghy with a friend, Guy Pearson.
We were out about a mile. and there
was a strong breeze and it was quite
rough. Suddenly, the cleat on the
mast that holds the sail broke. !
was in the bow, so I slowed the sail
as quickly as I could, because I
knew we would capsize easily If !
didn't.
Preparing to row, Guy discovered
we had no oar locks. We couldn't
do anything about this, so we pad
died with the huge, clumsy oars
Many times, we practically knocked
each other out of the boat Finally
we got into shore, and we were sc
exhausted we could hardly move.

Car Shortage Slows
Fertilizer Receipts

The distribution of lime and fer
tilizers in Maryland for spring use
is being slowed because OF q di-
version of freight cars to the West
to move wheat, according to Joseph
H. Blandford, State director of the
Production & Marketing Admins
tration.
He urged farmers purchasing
through the Triple-A farm program
to accept the material when it Is
available. He also urged that steps
be taken to unload cars promptly.
If deliveries should be too late foI
spring use, Mr.. Blandford suggest
ed the fertilizers be used on land tc
be plowed next spring or be spread
on pastures.

onerS to death, put several OF the
chiefs said:
mo! We must hand them over
to the British"
One of these chiefs was named
Shah b-bo-na," which meant Built
Like-a-Bear." He was, indeed, a
strong, husky man, but there were
not many warriors under his COM
mand.
After dark, a great number of
warriors came to camp from other
places. They had heard about the
capture of Fort Dearborn and were
thirsty for blood. When they
learned of the prisoners, they cried
"We are going to kill them!"
Is it any wonder that Kinzie and
his wife and children trembled?
X y ~
Shab-bo-na and another chief
tried to keep the warriors out of
the cabin where the prisoners wait
ed, but the angry braves were in too
large number. They forced their
way past the guards.
While this was taking place, a
halfbreed girl decided to find help
She had been treated kindly by Mrs
Kinzie, and now she wanted tc
save her white friends. She ran as
swiftly as her legs would carry heI
to the wigwam of friendly chief
He was known as Sang-a-naah by
the Indians, but the white mer
called him Billy Caldwell.
Sang-a -naah was a powerful man
among the Indians. He heard the
words of the halfbreed child ano
then rushed to the Kinzie cabin.
X X Il
The warriors were there with
their tomahawks, and blood was
about to be spilled, but the chief
cried ....
stop! You shall not kill these
people"
Thus were the Kinzies saved
through the deed of the little half
breed child who had taken word
of the danger to Sang-a-naah. In
later years, the girl married white
man and became Mrs. Joseph
Pathier.
The town of Shabbona, Ill, is
named after Chief Built Like-a-
Bear.

In this room, furnished with some
very interesting equipment, I met
the two mysterious gentlemen, also
clad In white uniforms. Greeting
me jovially, they placed me in a
huge chair. But I had become
increasingly suspicious, so I asked
what the wonderful surprise was.
When they told me that I was going
for an airplane ride, I was thrilled
and promised to do exactly as I
was ordered.
First, I put my head back and
obligingly opened my mouth so that
little tube could be inserted ito
equalize the pressure in my head"
Next, the chair was elevated little,
and I was ready for the takeof

but suddenly I was flying merrily
through the stratosphere, watching
the tiny people, the miniature
houses, and the many vehicles be-
low. The pilot was quite gracious
and executed a number of exhilarat-
ing stunts for me. Then, abruptly,
without warning. we began to drop
rapidly to the earth, striking the
ground with a resounding crash!
For a moment. was too Mortified
to utter a sound, but when finally
opened my eyes, I began to scream
loudly, much to the discontinue of
the two charming attendants in
white.
Blood was running down my chin,
and I thought that I was surely
dying. I felt sick and apprehensive
until I was assured that I would be
fine in few days. You see, four of
my decayed teeth had just been
extracted with gas by my kind
friends in white.

 That is correct agreed Halleck of Indiana. No part of the country can escape its rightful share in the responsibility for balancing the budget"
 After this Rep. Charles Robertson of North Dakota, strong recla- nation enthusiast, oiled the waters somewhat by declaring that he and others had come to the meeting in a spirit of friendship and with the desire that our problems in the west will be considered in the same light"
 T don't think it is the purpose of anyone here to do anything that would jeopardize the future welfare o1 the party" he added.
 However despite this conciliatory gesture, most of the weSterners left the meeting determined to make a party fight of the reclamation is sue---in the open, if necessary.
