Plan Now For More
Fall Milk In 40
Say Specialists

Right now is the time for the Mary
land dairyman to "step back and take
look at his dairy business with an
eye to preparing for 1919 fall milk
production" Dairy specialists report
that, despite the greater profits farm
ers receive from most fall freshening
cows, records in this state show a
high percent of the cows are dry dur
ing November, December, January
and February.
The Extension specialists admit
that difficulties in the breeding pro-
gram are the cause, but they know
how dairymen can meet that problem
They can name dairymen who have
met it.
The secret is to have the first-calf
heifers freshen in the fall, they say.
That means heifers should be bred be-
tween now and February l. If this
practice is followed year after year,
most herds may be kept on a fall pro-
duction schedule.
Old Idea Changed
Dairymen and dairy experts have
believed it best not to breed heifers
until they approach two years of age.
More recent research show that we'll
grown heifers bred at Is OF 16 months
Of age will produce more butterfat in
lifetime than animals which don't
start producing until later.
The Maryland specialists advise
farmers that normal growth for
heifers at 16 months of age is: Ayr
shires 652 pounds, Guernseys COS
pounds, Holsteins 795 pounds and Jer-
seys sos pounds. Animals Is or It
months old and having proper weight
should be bred now.

BY the Associofed Press

JERUSALEM, Dec. 20.-Christ-
mas 1948 may be the first since
the time of the Saracens in which
Christian pilgrims will be unable
to travel the route from Jerusalem
to Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus.
With only four days to go, the
front lines of Arab and Jewish
armies remained closed today to
Christmas pilgrims.
There still was hope, however,
that an agreement would clear the
way for the annual procession over
the winding Smile hilltop road
from the Holy City to the scene of
the Nativity.
An Israeli Army spokesman said
officially the Jews are willing to
open the way across their lines to
any one who wishes to pass through.
The Arabs were understood to
have agreed sin principle" to do
the same. But formal approval still
was withheld by 1t. Col. Abdullah
ell Tel, Trans-Jordan Arab Legion
commander whose armies control
the road.
It is not known whether the
hitch is only technical.
The pilgrimage, even if it is held,
will be the smallest in. many years.
Those who requested permission to
pass through the lines include
clergymen stationed in Jerusalem,
groups from consulates in the city
and a handful of Christian cor
respondents.
Some Jewish journalists applied

MAY Be Barred by Battle Lines

for permission to cover the pill
g-irage but tt, Arabs asked for
a detailed list of all applicants and
lit is unlikely they will permit any
Jews to pass through their lines.
If the pilgrimage is held-and
religious services at the Church of
the Nativity will be conducted by
priests there whether or not the
pilgrims attend-it will be the
principal Christian observance of
Christmas Eve in the Holy Land.
Elsewhere there will be the usual
Christmas Eve masses. At Nazareth
and Jaffa, where there are large
churches, services will be attended
by Christian Arabs and whatever
other pilgrims are at hand.
Arab attendance also will be con-
siderably reduced. This is not be-
cause of any restrictions imposed
by the Jews, whose armies have
occupied the Arab communities, but
by the dwindling of the Arab popu-
lation.
There will be no church service
in Tel Aviv. The city has no Christ
ian churches.

straight Kenny was short and dark, with

She contrasted him at once with Kenny,
a habit of hers now whenever she met new
man. His glance was casual, his smile re-
mote. She felt no quickening of interest. She
nodded her thanks and took the drink he
offered. His eyes stayed upon her in friendly
appraisal That's very interesting" he said
quietly.
