the article before passing judgment
upon that person or wanting to send
that person to Russia or any other
place.
Important Questions
Let's mention some few things OF
great Importance:
Do you approve of the sale OF
$70,0 00, 600, 900 worth of our surplus
war material to Russia? Do you ap-
prove of the kind of surrender
leaders made in Germany to Russia,
which agreement caused the present
battle for Berlin? Do you approve a
Marshall plan that takes money from
the American taxpayer and uses the
money on a world market to buy
products to give to other nations,
who make up a graft syndicate and
resell those articles to this country
at profits?
Permit Criticism?
1t is so much easier to get UP a
car load of grain to people 5000
miles away than it is to accumulate
one for our next door neighbor. We
sent billions to people all over the
world as though the money grew
on sage brush, yet welfare de-
partments must plead day in and day
out for our own poor.
I was a county commissioner till
I left Montana, so know where of
I speak.
Do you want to allow me to
speak or do you want me muffled?

Georgia Seorns
Plan To Unmask

Atlanta, Ga. There will be
no unmasking of the Ku Klux

Georgia House of Representative
defeated a motion to postpone in
definitely any consideration of a
bill to unmask the Ku KluX
Khan, which would ultimately dis
rupt the organization
The debate was vigorous and
sharp, and some Of the House
members openly demanded that
the bill be killed on the ground
they were not in the mood to
discuss such trifle matter.
There is little doubt, however,
that the proposal to prohibit the
leaders of White Supremacy from
wearing masks, hoods or other
deceptive facial coverage will be
killed when the final vote is TAX

Arkansas Farmers
Farm Leaders Give
Plant Land Study

The construction of a farmer
owned fertilizer plant in Arkan-
sas has been under consideration
long enough to permit exhaustive
study necessary for sound deci-
sion
For many years, progressive,
farm leaders have been concern
ed about depletion of soils from
erosion, teaching, failure to ro-
tate crops and failure to use fer
tilizer.
In 1947 the Arkansas Farm
Bureau Federation favored ac-
ton which would lead to an ade-
quate fertilizer supply The Ark
ansas Farm Bureau Cooperative
study led it to begin serious con-
sideration of building a farmer
owned plant in 1947 and 1948.
The Farm Bureau directed it's
Fields Crop Committee, headed
by Walter May of Marion, to
make further study and make
recommendations.
Joint Committee Acts
Then, a committee was setup
jointly by the Farm Bureau and
the Farm Bureau Cooperative
to make review all possibilities.
Members were Joe Hardin of
Grady, Mr.. May and S. D. Mack
OF Newport, representing the
Farm Bureau, and Ralph Hudson
of Harrison, Joe Reed of Spring
dale and Elmer Miller of Little
Rock, representing the Farm Bur
eau Cooperative.
To the Boards of Directors of
both organizations, the joint Com
mittee recommended construc-
ton \ Arkansas of a farmer
owned, fertilizer plant costing at
least 100000. Each Board hearth
ly endorsed the proposal, and the
Farm Bureau Federation gave the
final "go-ahead" signal by an
endorsement in its annual conven-
ZION last November.
The plans to build a farmer
owned, fertilizer plant in Arkan-
sas are not 'jumped-up" or "half-
cooked" They are based on long
inc study by the best brains
OF farm leadership in the state.

Veins Don't Indicate
Cows Capacity

THE milk VEINS" and milk
wells" IN a dairy cows abdomen
and the network of surface veining
on the udder apparently have little
or nothing to do with her ability to
produce large quantities of milk, ac-
cording to a report just issued by
the U. S. department Of agriculture.
This conclusion, which is contrary
to what is generally taught in the
classroom and stressed in show ring
judging, is the result of research by
w. w. SWEET and c. A. Matthews of
the bureau of dairy industry, who
made detailed dissections and stud
les of the circulatory system of the
dairy cows udder.
SWEET and Matthews compared the
milk-production records of 1875 cows
Q06 Holsteins and 80 Jerseys) with
the grades assigned to represent
abundance of veining on the udder
surface, the size and length of adj
dominal veins, and size of milk
wells. They found no significant
relationship between any of these
mammary characteristics and the
milk-producing capacity of the cows.

signed with this in mind.
The milking parlor was built in
April, 1913. After just one year of
use, the new barn has shown that
it will certainly pay for itself in
the increased number of cows that
car be MIXED with much less work
all around.
Thirty head of COWS can be MIXED
in l hour and 20 minutes from the
time the first machine is put on
until the last COW leaves. A lever
mean the mixers position in the pit
opens OF closes the stalls, and a pull
of a cord opens or closes the doors
to the parlor, allowing the cows to
enter OF leave. Another lever will
fill the feed boxes in the stall with
just the desired amount of grain.
