If the so left hip calf was
brought in by John Doe by mis-
take, he will Immediately advise
Roe, who is probably a neighbor
or runs on the same range, that
the calf was hauled in and sold
and will execute a release of any
claim he might have as shipper.
Richard Roe will write in and
claim the calf in his brand, unless
he may have sold it to someone
else, and the proceeds will be re-
leased to him as owner of the
brand.
If John Doe doesn't tell Roe
about the calf or for some reason
nothing is done to establish cor
rect ownership in 80 days, then,
at the expiration of that time the
brand Inspector collects the pro-
ceeds of the go left hip calf and
sends them to the Montana Live
Stock commission in Helena. Then
these proceeds are deposited i'm
mediately with the state treasurer
in the stock estray fund as pro-
vided by law to be held until the
ownership of the calf is estab-
liShed.
Proceeds Held
At that time a card notice is
sent to John Doe that the proceeds
of the so left hip calf sold by
him are held for a bill of sale
from the owner of the brand if
he has a claim to them. This is in
case Doe may have purchased the
calf from Roe and neglected to
send in the bill of sale or forgotten
to attend to releasing it.
A circular is sent to Richard
Roe that we are holding the pro-
ceeds of the sale of calf
branded go left hip sold by John
Doe on a certain date and giving
the shipping point. This circular
asks to be advised by return mail
if this calf was sold to the shipper
or anyone else in that neighbor-
hood, or, if such is not the case
and if in his opinion the money
held belongs to him, to make a
definite claim for same.
If John Doe replies hat he
hauled the calf in by mistake and
has no claim and Richard Roe adj
vises that he has not sold such an
animal, claim is filed on his (Rich-
ard Roe's, owner of brandt behalf
with the state auditor for the pro-
ceeds held and a state warrant is
sent direct to him as 500 as re-
ceived.
If there are other complications
or need for explanation, additional
correspondence is carried on by

termine the proper ownership

KIP LaBELLE, WAR HERO
AND PW, TAKES CHARGE
OF FARLEY INSURANCE
By Dannie Loblaw

Clifford kip" LaBelle, one
, of Zion's more distinguished
World War II veterans, who
was prisoner of the Germans
for four months, last week took
charge of the O. w. Farley &
Son Insurance Agency during
the absence of Harrison Far
ley, who has moved temporari-
ly to Phoenix, Ariz.
In taking charge of this con-
Germ, young Mr.. LaBelle enjoys
the distinction of becoming the
head man of one of the oldest
real estate and insurance firms
in Zion. In fact the history of
the 0. w. Farley Insurance
Agency may be traced back
over SO years to Pontiac, ILL.,.
where O. w. Farley first es-
tablished his business in the
early nineties.
Although no definite date
as to the beginning of the Far
ley Agency is available at this
writing, it is known that Mr..
Farley operated a real estate
and insurance office in Pom
tiac before he met DR.. John
Alexander Dowie in Chicago
in 1898. DR.. Dowie ordained
him an officer in the Christian
Catholic Church at this time
and Mr.. Farley organized a
branch of the church in Pom
tiac.
Left Business in Pontiac
When the present city was
founded by DR.. Dowie in 1901,
Mr.. Farley disposed Of all his
holdings in Pontiac and he and
Mrs. Farley moved to Zion.
Like so many of those early
settlers here, Mr.. and Mrs. Far
ley lived in a tent while their
first home was being construct
ed at 3O16 Enoch Avenue. This
home still stands and at pres
ent is owned by Henry Wes-
sell.
In the early days Mr.. Farley
supervised the work on many
of the farms then located with
in the corporate limits of the
city and, when the city was

many Jap soldiers did so too. The
occupying Americans eventually es-
tablished contact with the people
and induced many to return to
their homes, and to work for the
conquerors. One day a detail of
Is marines took out a work group
of 33 civilians, and on return in
the evening found the group had
increased to 81. Four Japs had
shed uniforms and mixed with the
crowd.
The Americans found they had
to divide the C rations into halves
for the civilians and Japs; they
couldn't stand much food.

Terrace and strip farming, sub

tees in agriculture on Okinawa,
Scott observed. The farmers con-
served land areas, soil minerals and

the hillsides on a series of levels.
They had little money, and what
they did possess was in small de-
nominations. Apparently they were
accustomed to barter.

the Americans we're peculiar when
they took the men out to work.
Women were supposed to do the
work-they always had.
The better homes were rather
we'll built, of fired tile, sawed or
hewn boards and timbers and with
floors. Those lower in the social
scale got along with less-thatched
roofs, sometimes dirt floors.
They had quite a religious bent;
every home and village had the
customary paraphernalia. The re-
ligion was Shintoism, consisting
primarily of worship of the spirits
of tribal ancestors and dead heroes.
Typhoons are no fun. Scott, in
sheltered spot, did not get full
brunt of one, but others did. 1t
tore down virtually everything on
the island, destroyed life and had
a velocity of LOG to 1876 miles per
hour.
In a summary, Scott said the in
habitants of Okinawa were simple
people who lived off the land and
got along very nicely. They may
have been 100 years behind the
but they were contented.
He showed a number of photo
that had been taken on the
island.

4-Her was proud of his animal and
was well along toward demonstrat-
ing accomplishments in his beef
project as he has done in his other
All projects.
Director George NJ. Worrilow of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service commenting recently
on Extension Service All activities
said that interest shown by such
public-spirited persons as the
bankers was enabling more and
more young people to expand their
All interests and to take their
place in practical agricultural pur-
suits.
To the growing list of farm
youth who are becoming interested
in beef cattle, can be added 15
more Delaware boys, reveals Di-
rector Worrilow. This number out
of "a Delaware boys competing
with SO Maryland boys won calves
at this years Fair calf scramble.
The blue ribbon award in the class
for calves entered by boys winning
last year was awarded to Boyd
Cook, All club and FLA member
living near Summit Bridge.
Similar praise for the growing
interest in beef cattle was express
ed by William McGregor, secretary
of the Eastern Shore Aberdeen
Angus Association, sponsors of the
calf scramble. Said McGregor of
the special show held at the Fair
for calves won in last years
scramble: "In the opinion of peo-
pie who are close to farm youth
work, the calves won in the scram-
BILE last year and exhibited at the
Fair were well above average.
Twenty-six calves were awarded
last year and every boy but one
exhibited the calf he. won at the
Fair. In this instance the animal
won by one of the boys was killed
by lightning. But this boy was
sufficiently interested to buy a calf
himself and enter it at the Fair
this season."

Methods For Freezing
and Canning Peaches

With peaches now coming on the
market in Delaware, homemakers
have their choice of a variety of
ways of serving this delicious fruit.
After families eat their fill of fresh
peaches and cream, peach short
cake and the like, it's good idea
to freeze or can some peaches for
next winter.
According to Miss H. Gertrude
Holloway, Nutrition n Specialist.
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, the use of syrup in freez-
ing peaches is definitely superior
to dry sugar method. Tests have
shown that peaches packed in
syrup retain their flavor and do
not turn dark as do those packed
in dry sugar. Three cups of sugar
to cups of water makes a salts
factory syrup. To further safe
guard against darkening, ascorbic
acid (Vitamin c. may be added to
the syrup at the rate of Il tea
spoon powdered ascorbic acid or
500 milligrams in tablet form for
each 1 or 11s cups of syrup. As
corbic acid is purchased at the
drug store. Citric acid, also pur-
chased at the drug store, is less
expensive but less effective. Com
mercial preparation, some of which
are combination of citric and as
corbic acid, are effective but more
expensive.
The University of Delaware Elk
tension Service recommends the
following varieties of peaches for
freezing; Halehaven, Hale, Elberta,
Goldeneast, and Freglow.
Peaches are easy to can and a
delicious canned fruit. The meth
cd may be found in the bulletin

Poultrymen Urged to Keep
Flock Records

High egg production and low
mortality are the two most i'm
portant factors in determining the
profit of any laying flock. The
only way to know the rate of pro-
duction and the percentage of birds
that die in any month of the year
is to keep records, says ]. Frank
Gordy, extension poultryman.
Poultry records may be started
any time of the year, but now is
the best time to start, says the ex-
tension poultryman, as pullet
fiocks are being moved into laying
quarters. Record keeping, he says,
takes the guess work out of what
the flock does during the year and
will help a producer become a bet
ter than average poultryman.
Records need not be complicated
but they should include all receipts,
costs, production and mortality.
Feed, labor, equipment, litter,
chicks and other stock purchased
are some of the important items
under the cost section of any rec
ord system. Receipts should in
clude all income from sales of eggs
and birds as well as a fair market
value for products used at home.
To aid poultrymen in record
keeping, Gordy reveals that the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service has free poultry account
forms available for poultrymen
throughout the state. Assistance
will also be given any poultrymen
in setting up the record keeping.
Interested poultrymen who de-
sire record booklets should contact

Scientists Studies Air
Movement of Plant Diseases


Delaware's late blight of tomato
infections can't be blamed on an ill
wind this season. At least, not to
date, says DR.. Russell A. Hyre,
plant pathologist with the division
of mycology and plant disease sur
vey of the u. S. Department of
Agriculture.
DR.. Hyre, who is stationed at the
University of Delaware, is con-
Quoting research to determine
sources of infestation of the late
blight disease, downy mildew dis
ease of cantaloupes and blue mold
disease of tobacco. One phase of
this research involves the use of
coated slides mounted on vanes,
similar to a weather vane, which
will pick up spores of these diseas-
es being carried by the wind.
Speaking of the late blight situ-
alton, the scientists states that
so far this season there have been
no wind-borne showers of late
blight spores as indicated by the
traps in Delaware.
DR.. Hyre points out that in spite
of the lack of "spore showers"
there can still be a spread of local
infection from one tomato field in
this state to adjoining fields. 1t is

Diet Of Hawks

Out of 100 hawks of all species
only one individual normally ac-
quires the habit of getting easy
food around the poultry farm.
When a hawk is seen near a poul-
try farm it does not necessarily
follow that he is after chickens.
Where there is grain there are apt
to be rats and mice, and most
hawks prefer them to feathered
prey.
Smyrna times., 1948-08-12

for this reason that Delaware
farmers are cautioned to watch
their fields close for appearance of
this disease and to follow recon-
mended spraying or dusting prac-
tices.
Farm Boys Focus Attention
on Beef Cattle
An increasing number of Della
ware farm youth are becoming
beef cattle enthusiasts and it is
not uncommon now to see beef cat
tie grazing in pastures throughout
the state.
Impetus has been given this pro-
ject among Delaware All Club
members by interested business
men and organizations and the
"calf scramble" which again prov
ed a popular event at the Kent
Sussex Fair.
Typical of many club members
is Howard Tyndall a member of
the Sycamore All club near
Laurel. For his outstanding
achievement record in club work,
Howard was awarded an Aber-
deen-Angus heifer calf last season
by the Sussex Trust Company with
banks located at Lewes, Laurel
and Milton.

Assistant County Agent William
Sloan officials of the Sussex Trust
Banks recently found that the

 It was requested that game fish be stocked in the Valleys empty lakes. Holger Larsen, who conducted the hearing, said Anchorage sportsmen were un- dertaking to exchange grayling for Rainbow trout in the Kenai peninsula and suggested that pro- gram also be inaugurated in the valley. MT. Larsen said the Fish and Wild Life Service could rot help with the program, other than to provide transportation for the fish.
 It was further recommended that legislation be enacted which will legalize the planting and cultivation of game fish on fish farms.

MT. Larsen warned the group that recommendations made at the Palmer hearing would not necessarily be embodied in new regulations. He explained that four hearings, one each in Palm CT, Wasilla, Anchorage and Tal- keetna, will be held for the pur- pose of determining public sen timent toward existing regula- tions and need for new ones. Once cross-section of opinion has been sampled recommends tions will be compiled and sent to Federal legislative bodies for action.
 A number of suggestions at the Wednesday meeting dealt With need for further license rules. MT. Larsen said such mea- sures were controlled by territo- "ial legislation and could not be passed by congress.

Changes Suggested Ln FWS Rules

Five recommendations, some of them calling for changes in existing regulations and some for entirely new legislation, were approved at Wednesdays hear ing of the Fish and Wild Life Service. That meeting, held in the basement of the Matanuska hotel, was attended by more than 60 of the Valleys sports men, hunters and trappers.
 Upon the suggestion of Bill Bouwens. the group voted to
 request that deer. preferably
 the whitehall variety. be plant
 ed in tie Matanuska Valley.
 Changes in existing regula- tions called for a closed season on all game fish between March , IS and May IS in the drainages of Wolverine lake and creeks, Fish creek and lakes and Cot - tenWood creek. Joe Loyer also
