Proved Sires Boost
Herd Production

THE USE OF sons of proved sires
from the Huntley field station of
the u. S. bureau of dairy industry,
continued testing and proper feed
ing methods combine to provide J.
G. Steiner, Billings, with one of
the highest producing Holstein
herds in the country. His program
of breeding and testing has been
carried on for 20 years, of late
years with a thrice daily milking
system.
His records show what even
Huntley-bred bulls have contrib
uted to herd production. Daughter
and-dam pairs for comparison exist
in a range of seven pairs for one
bull up to 81 for another bull. Only
one of the seven bulls registered a
decline in milk and butterfat
through the daughters. The in
creases range from 2,626 pounds
more milk and 81 pounds more but
terfat to As pounds more milk and
"a pounds more butterfat.
The bureaus cooperative bull
loaning program has had a fairly
steady growth. To date SO Holstein
bulls and 30 Jersey bulls from the
Beltsville, Md, herds have been
proved by cooperating dairymen.
The SO Holstein bulls sired 1,720
daughters which averaged $50
pounds more milk and 80 pounds
more butterfat than their dams, and
70 of these bulls increased butter
fat production. The 80 Jersey bulls

WORLD WOOL PRODUCTION
HAS TWO-PERCENT DROP

WORLD WOOL PRODUCTION in
1947 is estimated to be tn $1,000, 900
pounds, according to A. ". Willis,
Wyoming agricultural extension
service economist.
This production is a decrease of
two percent, compared to the $780,
100000 million pounds that were
produced in 1916, he pointed out.
North America, Europe, Asia,
South America, and Africa were
countries that produced less wool in
1947 than in 1916, Willis revealed,
while Australia, New Zealand, and
the Soviet Union produced more dur
ing this same period.

O-Gallon Drums Used
for Dipping Tanks

DIPPING LAMBS for tick control
- is taking its place along with
docking as a regular part of the
lambing operation on the Hildreth
ranch, Beaverhead county. The
1,400 lambs this year were dipped
in a DOT solution as fast as the
docking crew could work.
The dipping tanks were simple
but effective. Si~xty-gallon drums
were set about a foot deep in the
ground. The lambs were dunked
in the solution and left to drain for
about 10 minutes on a tin-sided plat
form. A trough and pail drain under
the platform made it possible to re-
use the solution.
One pound of so percent wettable
powder DOT was used to so gall
Ions of water as the dipping solu-
ton. The DOT was mixed with a
small amount of water before the
final mixing. About one pound of
DOT was used per 100 lambs

MIR. MARSHALL STANDS FIRM

Mr. Churchill has been accused by sharp -tongued opponents of standing with foot in the Middle Ages and the other in the United States With more charity might adapt the statement and say that Secretary Marshall stands-resolute, dignified mmovable-with foot in Berlin and the other democratic tradition
 His reply to Soviet protest against "warmonger ing article in an American magazine reiterated firmly the democratic principle of free speech Far from be- ing warmongering he declared the article in question confined itself to speculation American defense measures if-merely f-the United States at tackled. But if it had been warmongering, the United States Government would be powerless under the Constitution to suppress articles of this type ap bearing in the public press"
 Here is something which the Russians seem almost incapable of graspng-as do those Americans who' elers pacifss, New Deaers Henry Wallace, and dem- ocratic sefcriticsm Here is the faith that "warmong ers and appeasers alike have the right to battle in the public press for the minds of free men.
 This democratic faith is needed to bolster MT. Mar Shas equally resoute and more momentous statement that the United States will stay in Berlin For while parallel British frmness and increasing British help in the gigantic task of flying food into Berlin hope full factors, the chief hope must still lie in Soviet willingness to inflame German opinion against Sovets actions. The battle is still for the minds of
 Unsparing efforts get the true facts to the German people-and so strip away the camouflage of propa- ganda from Russian aims in Berlin-may be labeled warmongering by Communists But when the Germans realize the truth, they will know who the warmongers are-and so decrease the danger of war.

 There have been repeated suggestions that various interests desire fundamental change in national pol icy atomic energy. Powerful circles in the Army have been reconced to the placing of control in civilian hands, It is reported that threefourths of the S2,OOOOO0 day being expended atomic develop ment goes into weapon making. So military chiefs argue they should have more than advisory role.
 There have also been reports that one reason for Congressional changes in the 1947 Act desire to give private enterprise larger share in atomic devel opment As it stands national policy gives the Govern ment charge of this development But most of the work for the Government is done by private firms So far evidence is available this arrangement appears to be efficient and satisfactory It may be that the possibility of bigger role for private initiative should be resud jed But the necessities of military and security if nothing more-seem to require close Government supervision.
 In comparing the Atomic Energy Commission with the Supreme Court do not to suggest that it should be beyond the reach of the people acting cons tutionally through Congress and President It should not be subject to every shift of partisan winds One son Germany did not develop the bomb Naz pre- judce against Jewish physicists who made the early atomic researches.

POLITICS AND THE ATOM
Christian Science Monitor)

(ChrlStan science MOnltOr)
 Political tampering with the Atomic Energy Com mission is only less dangerous than political tamperng with the Supreme Court. Regardless of personalities parties the American people should insist that the trol and development of this national resource be placed in position of independence, continuity and responsibility resembling that which has made their highest court such grand guardian of orderly progress
 This necessity is underscored by the controversy that has arisen the bill revising the Atomic Ener- gy Act of 1947 This bill discards the Acts provision for staggered appointments of the Commissions mem- bers running from to five years provides instead for extension of all terms for two Politics has been injected into the situation through objections in Congress to the Presidents naming Chairman Llien- thai for the fiveyear term and by Mr. Trumans insist ence on this course.
 The upshot is that Congress has given the President the choice between signing the twoyear bill and ex- tending the terms by appointments These would only be good until Congress met, and would have the bad effect of ending all appointments at the time Therefore trust Truman will sign the twoyear extension It at least promises stability for two years
 The bill vii give the next President chance to name whole new commission. He would have had four appointments under the Act it stood The chief diff ference is that the plan permits complete change,

England and the United States,
game keepers have Systematically
killed foxs, hawks and owls on
the plea that they destroy game,
and even farmers have joined in
the warfare against the so-called
"vermin".
In America this same mistaken
sentiment still exists, and too
often has led to ill-advised legis-
lation against mammals and birds
that are beneficial to the farmer.
Wise measures for game protec-
ton can not be too highly recon-
mended but ignorance of the true
relations of animals and birds of
prey to game is widespread even
among lawmakers and sportsmen
clubs. One of the most common
mistakes made by sportsmen in
the supposed interest of game
protection is the offer of prizes
for the destruction of alleged
"game-destroying" mammals and
birds.

The state conservation depart
ment of New York states: A
study made of 4,300 fox drop
pings, together with 1875 red and
% gray fox stomachs. The drop
pings total more than twice the
number covered by any similar
study elsewhere which has been
reported.
l. The fox is an omniveTous
! feeder, eating a wide variety {
both animal and vegetable foods
2. Year in and year out the
items most frequently taken were
rats and mice.
! 8. Next to rats and mice, fruits
and insects occurred most often
4. Game birds comprised a
comparatively small part of the
fox's bill-of fare.
5. Poultry and rabbits occurred
in relatively small number OF
the specimens examined.
6. The items eaten at a given
time depend mainly upon what is
most readily available.
At Dearborn, Mich, these were
found, rats, mice and rabbits, out
of 800 specimens examined, rab-
bit was found in few specimens
and was then questionable.
In Virginia reports show rab-
bits, mice and rats to be the pre-
dominant food of foxs and rabbit
was found present in 41.2 per
cent out of 1900 droppings ex-
amined In Iowa out of 2,1l0 drop
pings examined no game birds OF
| any kind were found, mice being
the predominant food found.
Undoubtedly large portion OF
poultry and game birds manifes-
tation was due to carrion but il
is impossible to determine what
percentage. This might have been
true to some extent in the case Of
rabbits. found, especially when
fox ranged near highways, where
rabbits are killed every week
Statistics will soon be available
in some states showing a rough
estimate of the number of rabbits
killed over the periods of some
months out of the year on the
public highways and the number:
will run into big figures over the
period of one year. While on the
subject of what a fox eats, ir
summing up figures and statistics
mice was the predominant fooc
found in 9l.68 percent of speci
mems examined.
Prominent among the recog
nized causes for the great in
crease of rodent pests in recen
years is the persistent destruction
of the birds and mammals tha
habitually prey upon them. IL
