to a shell, had they been forced
Ito take the same verbal abuse
which was heaped upon Herbert
Hoover during the depression
years. We wonder if his Quaker
philosopy is what kept Hoover
on his even and constructive
way. At any rate we are glad
that he has lived long enough
to be at least partially Vindi-
Gated and to receive an ovation
from the party which once was
ashamed of him.
Okay, okay-We know that
last will bring forth some Vio-
lent disagreement from some of
our readers-if you want to
speak your piece on the sub
ject. We'll be glad to print your
arguments.
We've also deviated from our
policy of sticking to local mat
tiers. 1t must be that radio. We
just can't help getting all
steamed up. We said it, and
we're glad!

Towne Writes Letter
About Air Force

The following letter was writ
ten by Bill Towne shortly af-
ter entering the Army Air
force.
Dear Sarg:
I am sorry l didn't get to
write sooner but we have been
kept pretty busy. You asked me
to write and tell you how ]
liked the u. S. Air Force, there's
only one thing I am sorry
about; that is that I did not
join a long time ago, as it is a
very good deal for a young guy.
On this post we have every
thing: movies, special service
clubs, baseball, boxing, etc. We
work five days a week most of
the time. Saturday and Sundays
off. Today we played football
and got beat.
We get paid the goth of each
month ($25.00). They keep back
$50 for when we get furloughS,
so well be able to get home and
back and not have to- worry
about the money. There's an
Air Force Association to cover
cases where money is needed in
emergencies.
As you have probably heard
the Air Force is changing uni
forms; I will send you a picture
of what the new ones will be
like as soon as it comes out in
the post paper.
Here, we have about 1900
enlisted and 1000 non CONS.
The food has been good and
living quarters are very nice.
Feel free to show this note to
anyone interested in joining the
best branch of the service, The
U. S. A. F.

Better Swimmers Urged to Register for
Swimmer and Life Saving Classes
Which viii Open at Local Pool JUL IS
Registration
To Close on
June 70

The Red Cross water safety
program, which will get under
way July 5 at the local pool,
will offer classes for the good
swimmers as well as beginners
and non-sWimmers, it was
pointed out this week.
Swimmer classes for boys and
girls who can swim 100 yards
or more will give these young
people an opportunity to learn
new strokes, perfect those they
already are using and learn the
principles of water safety.
Many local swimmers are
ready for Red Cross life saving
instruction, or will be after a
very brief preliminary period.
Miss Alice Riebeth, who is now
attending a water safety school
at Wildcat Lake near Bremmer-
ton, Wash, win be fully quail
flied to give life saving in
struction and boys and girls
here will have an opportunity
for the first time to earn jun
III d44O OC111OI IlGu N1OSS AlG
saving certificates and insignia.
Registration for beginner and
intermediate classes has been
very satisfactory to date, Mrs.
r. e. Peterson, water safety
chairman for the local Red
Cross chapter said.
The older boys and girls, who
could take advantage of the
swimmer and life saving classes,
have been slow to register. Mrs.
Peterson urged that all who can
swim 100 yards or more fill out
the blank which appears on
page 4 of this issue of the TT
bune-Herald. Those who can
swim well enough should have
plenty of time to earn life say
ing certificates this summer,
she pointed out.
Any others who can swim on
1y a little or not at all are also
urged to see that their registra-
ton blanks are at the Tribune
Herald office on or before Mon
day, June %.

Hog Feeding

For successful feeding of pigs
when not on pasture, add four TO
five per cent ground, choice pea
green alfalfa hay to the grain and
protein supplement mixture.
Should ground hay not be avail
able, however, choice alfalfa hay
may be fed from a rack or from
the frozen ground or snow in win
ter.
; Five per cent of choice alfalfa
hay will give all the essential vita
minis needed by the pigs that are
30 pounds or larger These vita
minis are not present in the grain
and tankage. Where there is but
little sunshine in the winter, it
may be advisable to add one-fourth
pound of irridated yeast per ton of
feed mixture to safeguard the pigs
against a vitamin D deficiency.
The alfalfa is also rich in calcium
and this mineral is needed unless
a relatively liberal amount of skim
milk or buttermilk is fed as a sup
plement The necessary iron and
other minerals are also found in
the alfalfa. Because alfalfa is high
in protein, less tankage and other
protein supplements are needed.
Feeding too much alfalfa to grow
ing or fattening pigs will cause
their daily gain to be reduced

Crested Wheatgrass

Crested wheatgrass has proved its
worth as a forage and a hay crop
on more than a million acres in
Montana The fall months offer one
Of the best times TO seed this hardy,
drought resistant crop.
One of the big advantages of
crested wheatgraSs pasture is the
early spring grazing that it provides
up to three weeks earlier than
native grasses in most parts of the
state. In addition, the crop also
furnishes some grazing after the
fall rains.
For late fall seeding, crested
wheatgrass may be seeded with a
single disk drill with rows spaced
SO to AZ inches apart, seeding at
2 to 3 pounds per acre. No land
preparation is necessary and the
seed is left uncovered in the open
furrow where natural erosion of
wind and water will provide
enough cover for termination. How
ever, if the seedlings are to be made
in stubble or weeds, a furrow drill
is preferable to the single disk drill
1t always pays to use high quality
seed for crested wheatgrass plant
ings.
