Sweet Clover Aids
Hard-WOrked Soils

After ten years of pressure for
increased production of grains,
midWestern farm operators nave
considerably increased their
small grain and row crops at the
expense of soil-maintaining sod
crops. Under this program many
farmers are finding it difficult
to keep their soils in good tilth
and maintain high corn yields.
Sweet clover as a green man.
uring crop offers a partial cure
for these overworked soils. Ohio
Experiments show that seeding
sweet clover in wheat or oats as
catch crop for green manure
can increase the following corn
crop by as much as 10 to II BUSH
els per acre. An additional to
bushels of corn is normally at
tanned if the straw is plowed un-
der with the young sweet clover.
The nitrogen supplied by sweet
clover thus used is equivalent to
400 pounds of Sulfate of am
monia per acre.
On level land in Ohio corn
yields of 70 to rs bushels per
acre have been maintained un-
der a two year rotation of corn
and small grain by using sweet
clover as green manure and leav-
ing all residues on the land. In
addition to regular lining the
rotation should receive about
500 pounds of 0120-10 per acre,
divided between the corn and
small grain crop. Sweet clover
must have plenty of mineral
plant foods available to do it's
work in fixing nitrogen and op-
ening up soils with sturdy tap
roots.

Meyer sees a number of adj,
vantages in the new style hous-
ing. First of all--it cuts down
wall space and thereby reduces
heat loss.
Another angle is that a house
at least 80 feet deep gives room
enough for a center drive. This
makes cleaning easier, and it's
less trouble to move equipment
and birds in and out of the house.
1t also makes for better inside.
arrangement. Meyer points out
that in the new style houses
roosts can be placed along the
driveway. When that is done,
more wall space is left for nests.
Meyer also points out that the
gable roof of the new style house
allows for a storage loft for feed,
litter and equipment.
Finally-the larger house is
easily adapted for other uses If
the farm business changes from
chickens to other stock.

McGroth Backs 20 Sales Tax
To Prevent District Deficit

joint subcommittee had decided 70
apply the retail sales tax to both
newspaper and radio advertising.
One question involved was whether
this would constitute double taxa
ton since both the tax on adver-
tising for an article and its sale
would be expected to be passed
along to the consumer.
Senator McGrath said he could
see some difficulties in this, es-
pecially as to radio advertising
since much Of 1t was interstate
chain in character as against
merely local advertising. He saw
possibilities Of discrimination" II
only local radio ads were taxed
and nationally advertised prod
ucts were exempted.

basis for an organization and stan
adequate to achieve the most efec-

I, therefore, recommend that the
National Security Act be amended
to accomplish two basic purposes
First, to convert the National Mill
tary Establishment into an executive
department OF the Government. to
be known as the Department OF De-
tense; and, second, to provide the
Secretary of Defense with appro-
pirate responsibility and authority
and with civilian and military as
sistance adequate to fulfill his en-
larged responsibility.
Urges Clarification Of Duties.
Within the new Department OF
Defense, I recommend that the de-
partments Of the Army, the Navy
and the Air Force be designated as
military departments. The respon-

one Of the first to complain about
inadequate authority for the De-
fense Secretary. The recommen-
dations also follow generally the
same lines rs those advocated by
Mr.. Forrestal.
No Mention Of Demotions.
The Presidents mess se made no
of one recon- 'nendation
Of the Hoover Commission-that
the present civilian secretaries Of
the armed forces be denoted to
the positions Of under secretaries
of defense for Army, Navy and
Air Force.
The message did point up the
the fact that the d. 3artmental
now are authorized to
deal directly with higher au-
thority when they disagree with
decisions OF the defense chief. 1t
also mentioned that many Of the
key responsibilities Of the Defense
Secretary were assigned by law,
not to the secretary. but to boards
and agencies which derive much
Of their authority from the mill
tary departments themselves.

the blanket transfer Of
all statutory authority applicable"
to the Army, Navy and Air Force

Thus Mr.. Truman followed the

Vatican Source Said Rokosi
Souqht Catholic Agreement
(continued From First PageD

VATICAN CITY, Mar. 5 R.-
An informed Vatican source said
today that Matyas Rakosi, Com
munist Hungarian deputy premier,
had recently sought an agreement
with the Council of Catholic
Bishops in Hungary.
The informant said the agree
ment did not materialize because
Rakosi wanted the bishops to sign
a statement, prior to any discus
sions, saying the Catholic Church
is not prosecuted in Hungary"
The Vatican source said Arch
bishop Giulio Czapik of Eyer, dean
of Hungary's Catholic bishops. had
told Rakosi the bishops were will
ing to issue a public statement
making clear that the churches
were open to worship and the
faithful were not forbidden to take
the sacraments but that Catholic
schools and institutions had been
nationalized and therefore pure
religion was not possible for Cath
olics in Hungary.
The informant said Rakosi was
reported to have snapped back at
Msgr. Czapik:
IF you were replacing Josef
Cardinal Mindszenty, things would
be even worse between the church
and the Hungarian state"
