Grafton of illiterates growing up
into manhood without knowing the
slightest iota of the wealth of
Jewish culture? Although we
can make a countercharge that
these very same conditions pre-
vail in the smaller communities
of the north, and only in the lar
ger cities do we find some sort of
living Judaism, the fact remains
the same, undeniably. The state of
affairs is appalling.
But, I do differ emphatically
with the pessimistic conclusions
of these writer's. We cannot and
must not write off southern Jew
ry as a community doomed to
marginal existence in Jewish
religious cultural concept. Nor
thern Jewry is alive because it is
animated by living soul, the
leaders of the community who
give their hearts and souls to en-
gender the Jewish spirit among
the youth and adults. Given an
equal chance, southern Jewry life
can blossom forth with foliage as

Higher Yields Outweigh
Cattle Spraying Costs

An increase Of $3.75 per head more
than covers the cost Of spraying
beef cattle with DDT, it was re-
vealed in test of the value of fly
control conducted at the University
of Illinois college of agriculture.
Protected cattle gained about Is
pounds more per head during the
pasture season than a group that
had not been sprayed. At IS cents
a pound, an increase of IS pounds
a head amounts to $3.75 head, a
return that far outweighs the cost
of spraying.
Beef cattle should be sprayed
often enough to control flies, whether
it requires two or three sprayings
during the season or once a month.

New Unit Improves
Ventilation of Barn
Dairymen Find Device
Particularly Effective

Many of a cows troubles can be
traced to heat and humidity. A
cow, unlike a human being, can
perspire only through the mouth.
So when the temperature and hu-
midity inside barn get high, the
animal becomes uncomfortable and
stubborn, particularly at milking
time.
According to the department Of
agriculture, an average cow gives
off almost a pint of water every
hour through breathing. In addi-
ton to the high, humidity caused
by this breathing, a COW has an
extremely high body temperature.
During the winter months, when
the cows are in the barn most of
the time, this combination results
in generation of an enormous
amount of water vapor and heat.
When the warm, moisture-laden air
comes in contact with the cold
walls, condensation occurs and
frost is formed.
The net result to farmers is rot
ting beams, joist and siding; loss
of hay because of mold created by
moisture and frost; milk contami-
nation, disease, particularly among
the young stock and reduction Of
milk production because of discon-
fort to cows.
A simple solution to all of these
costly problems is an automatic
cooling unit, which is proving pop
ular with dairy farmers.

easily installed, reduce condensa-

"Harv, I never talked with Libby
about it. But who gets Libby's prop

Doc knew that Libby owned 200
acres of valuable bottom timber
land where Harv did his hunting
and fishing.
"Naw," Harv replied. "She didn't
leave no will. You sort of got left

Colorado Wants
zeb Pixies Bones
For Peak, or Bust

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO
The war between the city of Colo
RADIO Springs and Sackets Harbor,
N. Y, over the remains Of Zebulon
Pike is still going strong.
The latest development was a
scornful rejection by Colorado
Springs of a Sackets Harbor peace
offer. The Upper New York state
town has suggested that Colorado
Springs accept small box Of earth
from Pixies grave and forget about
it's plan to install the generals re-
mains under a monument on Pixies
peak.
Mayor J. N. Mccullough of Colo
RADIO Springs made the rejection
official when he said:
"Pike's peak is God given mon
ument for the general-and it's the
place where he ought to be buried. I"
Doug Crouch, president of the
chamber Of commerce, was a little
more emphatic.
It's Pike-Or Bust q.
I'VE want to bring the general
home and we don't want any dirt, |"
he said. 'The boys set out to get
Pike and that's what we're going
to do"
The Colorado campaign to re-
move Pixies remains from the mil
itary cemetery at Sackets Harbor
where he is buried and give the
famed general final resting place
atop the peak he discovered,
gathered new momentum with re-
ceipt Of the Sackets Harbor offer.
The offer of Sackets Harbor earth
was made in a letter to the Denver
Post from E. w. Dennison, assistant
postmaster Of the upper New York
state town. Dcnnison sent - under
separate cover-a three-inch square
box containing a sample OF earth
he was talking about.
A reporter who looked inside said
it appeared that General Pike now
was buried under somewhat rocky
soil. The sample was full of peb-
bles.
Secretary Expresses Thanks
Howard N. Yates, secretary of the
Colorado Springs chamber of COM
merce, was the only man in town
who even suggested the box Of earth
might be welcome.
''Tell the man thanks he asked.
I'VE can plant that as seed and
orient the ground so the general
will feel right at home when he gets
here"
Yates said he was sure the Pike
monument plan would proceed and
predicted the army soon would okay
the move.
Crouch regarded the Sackets Har-
Dor letter as an insult however.

he said. TITS silly to think we'd

But it wasn't funny to Asst. Post
