To Native Born American Of
Czechoslovak Percentage.
Brothers and Sisters:-
During the two world con-
flicts we enjoyed almost COM
plete coincidence of the ideo-
logies as we'll as community of
national interests between The
United States and Czechoslo-
vakia. These democracies, led
by our great presidents Wilson
and Roosevelt and by Czecho-
slovakian presidents, Masaryk
and Benes, cooperated in the
struggles against the powers
of aggression and to defend and
strengthen their respective de-
mocracies.
This community of ideolo-
gies and interests came to an
unhappy end when the Com
munists effected their Coup
d. Etat in Prague in February
1913 and destroyed the Gee
choslovakian democracy by
brute force. The establishment
of a totalitarian regime in the
country of our ancestors, a re-
gime to which we as true de-
mocrats are unalterably op-
posed, casts it's shadow even
among our nationality group
in the United States. We deem
it therefore our duty to pro-
claim solemnly and strongly
that we detest the rule of brute
force, that we oppose any
attempt to spread the poison
of totalitarian theology among
ourselves. In order to unity
our opposition to dictatorship
we call upon all native born
Americans of Czech and Slo-
wax parentage to give full sup
port to efforts of the Czecho-
slovak National Council of A
merica, (Ceskoslovenska ma

endeavor to maintain true de-
mocracy among our people.

high time for us to raise our
voices in order to protect our
good name in this country and
let the world know that our
group remains second to none

Lamb Project Brings
Top Gain
By Jim PERRY. Washukie County. wyo.

By Jim PERRY. Washable County. WYo.
a brief summary of the
way my feeder lamb project
last fall worked out. AS a Future
Farmer of America I entered it with
other projects l have carried out in
an effort to gain the State Farmer
degree.
I began the project Oct. 4, 1947,
with a carload (225) feeder lambs.
These we're obtained on a spread
basis as follows: % cents for 80
pounds gain, % cents for Is pounds
gain, 81 cents for 20 pounds gain
and under. The lambs averaged 571a
pounds when they arrived. sc
On their arrival, I ran them on
pasture consisting of alfalfa stubble
and beet tops. Then, on Oct. 8, I
started feeding them barley and a
prepared feed. The ration was ITO
pound of barley per head per day
and 1920 pound of prepared feed.
The lambs were on pasture and
this feed until Dec. 8, when I put
them in a feed lot. The feed then
consisted of l pound of barley, when
on full feed, 6 pounds of wet beet
pulp, 1920 pound of prepared feed
and about IL pounds of chopped
alfalfa hay per head per day. This
feed was all mixed together and put
into a trough built all the way
around the pen. This feed was be-
fore them all day, being fed once in
the morning. My entire grain feed
was barley.
Feb. Is 1 sold so head with a total
weight of 5000 pounds. With a 4
percent shrink they averaged sc

aries and managers are detailed with
oats in the feed boxes. The cattle
shelter is rooted to look just like
the brush covered original. Corral
fences are of match sticks, too, and
have the same appearance as the
real pole corrals.
A burning technique plus dipping
in a varnish-stain preparation gives
the matches a natural miniature log
appearance. The matches for the
wall of one of the few-inch-high
buildings are glued together and
then cut in proper sized panels with
razor blade tools. Gates swing as
they should on the corrals. Fences
and all doors in the buildings are
also hinged. A patch of willows can
be seen along the creek and also a
bridge over to the ~corrals.
The extent of true realism was
evident by the number of people
who Immediately recognized the
ranch when they saw the model on
display in a Chinook store window.
Art is planning now to use his imag-
nation on a similar model of an
ideal farm-ranch layout. He also
has orders from several people all
over the county for small log cabins.
Art is kept in good spirits with
his modelling and a stamp collection
and is hopefully looking forward to
the possibility of walking with
braces soon. He travels to town with
his folks and just recently flew to
Billings to see a specialist. Then
there's a good fishing hole under the
bridge across the creek and a good
many fish have been caught from
the wheel chair.
Hobbies and a determination to
win out have had plenty to do with
his recovery from a time when he
weighed 35 pounds and was given
little hope for life.

We Thought 1t Was Foolish
to Spend Much on Bulls

place. Our heifer calves are always
vaccinated.
We have decided that when one
gets stock from a family of cows
that have had good records way
back in their pedigrees it is no
gamble to buy stock from the young
er animals of that family. I do not
believe in buying cheap stock with
no known background. We are just
about four years behind where we
would have been had we got a good
sire in the first place, and how l
regret those four years now. We
now have about 33 head of regis
tered and grade Jerseys.
One thing 1 wish to add. We are
very regular with our chores-the
milking and feeding are all done at
regular times, and how well the
cows know it. Each COW has her
certain stall and always goes to it.
There is never any confusion when
they enter or leave the barn.

Wheel Chair Fails to Fence In
Young Blaine County Cowboy
By JERRY LESTER

QEING fenced in" on a big cattle
- and sheep ranch like the UT
near the Bear Paw mountains of
Blaine county isn't much fun for a
young cowboy, but Art McLiesh Jr.
has a hobby that takes him out of
his wheel chair and lets him plan
and build with the ranch.
Art had an attack of polio when
he was Is and has been in bed or
wheel chairs for over two years now.
This gave him considerable time on
his hands, and though his legs
weren't in such good shape, there
was nothing holding back an alert
mind and nimble fingers. The
thought of using match sticks in
modelling log buildings led to a de-
tailed diorama model of the home
ranch with all its buildings, corrals
and livestock shelters.
The model is in a shallow box
about 3 feet by 6 feet long, and real
earth is used in it. Cow creek is
sketched out with white chalk in it's
proper place as it goes through the
farm yard. Every building on the
place is built to exact scale includ-
ing the ranch house.. barns, lamb
ing shed, garage, livestock shelter
and even the coal shed.
Most of these buildings are COM
pletely detailed inside. The bunk
house has tiny beds, stove, chairs
and table. There is grain in the gran

pounds, giving me an average gain
of 38.42 pounds.
On March Is I sold the remainder.
The night before they were sold a
heavy snow fell and I had a 4 per-
cent regular shrinkage and a 4 per-
cent moisture shrinkage. Even with
these two shrinkages, all made an
average gain of 32.08 pounds.

Farm and Ranch Experiences

that IN the dairy business IL
pays to use only the best sires and
to strive constantly to improve the
herd.
When we first started in the bust
ness we had a herd of mixed cows,
mostly Guernseys, and thought it
foolish to spend much on bulls.
Then we bought a registered Jersey
calf, a grandson of Lilac Romulus.
We got some good heifers from him,
but nearly all were light in the front
quarters of their udders.
By this time we had decided good
sires meant a lot in the herd. AS
our best cows were Jerseys, we sold
off all the others and sent to Oregon
for a bull calf sired by Volunteer
Standard Rambler, who now ranks
fifth in the Superior sires in the
United States. Our bull is Lady's
Remus Volunteer 435918. We paid
SITS for him as a calf and the in
crease in production of his daugh-
tiers with their first calves over
their dams production paid this
price in their first year, and VIZ had
only eight heifers.
High Cow in County
One of our COWS, Lads Duchess
Primrose 1367447, rated high cow in
the Lake County Dairy Herd I'M
provement association for 1947. At 4
years and z months, her production
was 1851 pounds of milk and 600.3
pounds of butterfat in 313 days on
two times a day milking.
Our cows are fed hay three times
a day in winter and stay at night
in an open shed. In summer they run
in a Huntley mix pasture. We feed
one pound of grain for every three
pounds of milk a cow produces. Six
pounds is the most we V e give at
one feeding, making II pounds the
maximum for any one cow per day.
We are using a commercial feed.
We like our Jersey cows, and they
seem to like us. When we walk
among them, they all crowd around
us to be petted. They are always
treated with kindness and each COW
is an individual. Each little heifer
calf is broken to lead while very
young. Every animal has a halter
on it, and when for any reason one
has to be caught in our herd, we
walk up to it and take it by the
halter and lead it to the barn With
out disturbing the rest. We find
keeping cows as quiet as possible
means a lot in production.
We plan this summer to have {
large shed built on our barn with /;
water system in it, and another yea
we plan to work for even bette
records.
Strive for Improvement
They say one should learn to b
content with what he has, but thi
does not apply to the dairy busi
ness. In that, we must be continual
ly striving for something better.

DRAFTING PUT UP TO
 TRUMAN BY HOUSE

WASHINGTON, June l6.-lR-- The House has voted to put it up to the President to start the draft.
 It tentatively approved l45 to 38 an amendment by the Armed Ser vices Committee providing that no inductions could be ordered un- til the President proclaims that the armed forces cannot get enough men through voluntary enlist ments.
 The President could not issue the proclamation until at least "a days after the bill becomes law. In- ducticns could not begin until 90 days after it becomes law.
 Armed Services Chairman An- drews (R-NY) said the provision is identical to one voted down by large majority" in the Senate. z The voteon Andrews amend- ment brought out strong floor sup port for plan by Rep. Shafer (R- Mich) to put the entire draft On ice until next year. Shafer has an- uounced he will offer an amend ment to suspend all operations of the draft law at least until Jan- uary 31.

BIG CONSPIRACY UNFoLDED COURT
 CASE IN SPOKANE

SPOKANE, Wash, June 16.-AR The government unfolded new evidence today in it's prosecution of an alleged atomic gold" con- spiracy.
 Testimoney presented yesterday disclosed that two workers at the General Electric Plutonium Works invested total of $4,360 in the so-called California mining ven- lures. They got back dividends of $695, they testified.
 Sauel D. Smiley. assistant sup erintendent of operations for Gen. eral Electric at Richland, said he put $2,040 into the scheme and received only $247 in return.
 Seven persons are charged with conspiracy in what U. s. Attorney Harvey Erickson said was a scheme to defraud investors of $200,000 Erickson said promoters claimed they could extract gold from black sand by a secret atomic process.
 One of the seven defendants, Dr. Harold E. Rector, Richland, has pleaded guilty and will testify for the government, Erickson said

EXTENSION PLAN,
 ALASKA SHIPPING
 I5 BEING BLOCKED
Adam ant Opposition of Chairman WeieheI Pre-
 venting Definite Action
By CHARLES D. WATKINS

WASHINGTON, June l6-R- Senator Magnuson tD-Wash) said today he has given up hope that Congress will extend the present temporary plan for steamship oper- ation to Alaska.
 The law, which permits the Mari time Commission to charter ships at a dollar a year to three Seattle shipping companies, expires June 30. It was designed to give lower freight rates to the territory at a time the companies said they would need an 85 percent increase to re- sume private operations.
 After passage of the law rate in- crease of 35 percent was put into effect.
 Magnuson said that the adamant opposition of Chairman Weichel CR-Ohio) of the House Merchant Marine Committee appeared to make it impossible to get an extension of the law passed by the present Con- gress.
 Chairman Weichel's opposition appears to have doomed any exten- sion of the present temporary ser vices for this session." Magnuson told a reporter
 Either the operators will have to revert to private operation at a big increase in rates or the Maritime Commission will have to institute government operation of the Alaskan service.
