OF considerable dissatisfaction
about certain changes being

He then reviewed his record
then recalled that the men at
the centrifugals had asked
him why did he bring in per
sons from Puerto Rico to do
work that they are capable of
doing and had been doing all
these years, to equip the mill.
After explaining that it was a
matter of time and that the
men were really with the con
tractors and would return to
their jobs in Puerto Rico, the
men had seemed satisfied.
He then reviewed the record
OF Colon Morrett in his use of
commercial fertilizer and close

the yield would be doubled
this year. Then he mentioned
the employing of Romoguera,
to take the place of the Chief
Engineer. All that has been

How free is free will?

tween the toll and the deprivatiOns the lack of my wages would bring.
 That I must not steal, or kill, or cOvet, deprives me not at all of my freedom of will, but shows that I choose to obey my God be- cause I love or fear Him.
 That I. a Catholic, must assist at Mass each Sunday, makes me not a mental slave but proves my agreement with the laws which my Church has enacted for my spirit ual welfare.
 Freedom of will! A tremendous gift. An awful gift! It lifts us high above the beasts or drops us down below the worms. Stupid men who misuse it jam our jails and asylumS. Clever men who use it ill, walloW in wealth but dread to die. But wise men freely choose to reject the magnified trinketS of the worldly world in order to pay the price that God has put on Heaven.

 What merit then in being good what fault in being bad? What jus tice in rewarding the benefactor- in punishing the malefactor? What use at all in the Commandments of God or the teachings and warn ings of Christ to a race with no power to choose between God and Satan?
 Free will! Is it the right to do good or bad? Or isn't it the power to choose between right and wrong, between the wise and the foolish, between the difficult and the easy, between Heaven and Hell?
 Because 1 must stop my car at a traffic light, have I no free will? Isn't it rather that I freely choose to stop because I approve the law or fear its fangs?

I'VE think herd testing Is the most
important aid the dairyman has,
and we won't buy . COW that
hasn't . good production record
behind her.
I'VE have ~ few purebred
animals, but I am not much in

Mr.. Nagel agrees with other

that the future Of the COW de-

that will average 500 pounds Of

And when you look at his rec

under Dairy Herd Improvement

apparent that his goal is not far
away.
Is Pounds Of Butterfat TO Go.
The first year his herd went on

erage was 7,o4o pounds Of milk
and 27s pounds Of butterfat. The
second year production jumped to
10,400 pounds Of milk and 4o4
pounds Of butterfat. This year
there was another production
jump. with the herd averaging
II, 800 pounds Of milk and 426
pounds Of fat. That leaves only

reach the 500-pound goal.
