every year from such hazards as
rickety barbed wire gates and
fences, stepping on nails, swallow
ing pieces of wire, eating gopher
poison and paint. Many losses occur
from cattle getting tangled up in old
farm machinery left in the COW yard
and cattle having acces to the grain

can be prevented but many of them
could be by more careful manage

tain a trocar for tapping in case of
bloat, a drenching bottle, disinfect-
ants, salve for treating sore teats
and coal oil for drenching for bloat,
raw linseed oil or EPSON salts and
a milk fever outfit, if perchance a
veterinarian cannot be obtained.
Efficient Labor
This is perhaps the most difficult
problem facing the dairy farmer
who must employ extra labor. Good
dairy hands are very scarce. How
ever, much could be gained on many
farms if more consideration were
given to the matter of adequate
housing facilities for married men.
A good cottage with milk, water,
fuel and garden space furnished
would be a help in attracting more
dependable laborers. In the case
of single men a good bunk house
with certain definite rules and reg
ulations as to sanitary conditions
would encourage better men to stay
on the job.
Good herdsmen are generally un-
der-paid. The incompetent and care.
less men are generally over-paid. A
careless man can ruin a good hero
| of cows in a relatively short period
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

Cost accounting records kept by
dairymen in cooperation with the
economics department of several ex-
pertinent stations clearly show that
some of the overhead costs per cow
are reduced with an increase in the
number of cows kept on the farm.
For instance, it doesn't take much
longer to go to the pasture and
bring in 80 cows than it does Is
COWS.
1t takes the same length of time
to wash the milking machines &
units after milking Is cows as it
does after milking 80 COWS. There
+ many other cases where the
overhead costs are reduced as the
size of the herd increases. Naturally,
as these overhead costs are reduced
the returns for the dairyman are
increased. The trend now is to milk
20 or more cows where feed is avail
able or cut down to l or 2 cows for
home use.
Herd Records
Herd records are essential in MAX
ing a herd profitable. The herd
records should consist of C1) month
ly or bimonthly milk and butterfat
production records for each cow.
These records will enable the own
er to feed according to production
and to Gull out the least desirable
animals from his herd. Joining a
Dairy Herd Improvement associ-
alton is the most effective way of
getting such records. (2) Breeding
records should be kept of each cow.
When such records are kept the
dairyman will know when each cow
is expected to freshen. Thus, he can
dry them up at the proper time in
preparation for their next 1actation,
The above is only a brief discus
sion of a few important points il

obtain high and economical produc

Montgomery Schools
May Gel State Aid,
INew-1ype Buildings

Hopes for q solution 70 Mont.
gomery County's school crowdins
problem rose today as the General
Assembly prepared TO enact State
aid legislation and plans were dis
closed for standardized, low cost
classroom units.
Montgomery would share with
the rest of Maryland in BENEFITS OF
the State legislation but. so far as
could be determined today. 1t is
the first county to consider plans
for the inexpensive buildings.
Proposed by Architect.
Richard v. Carpenter. construc-
ton supervisor for the Board OF
Education. confirmed reports that
school authorities and county Of
ficials are studying the merits OF
low-cost construction proposed by
Ronald Senseman, Takoma Park
and Washington architect.
Mr.. Senseman, who recently won
O Washington Board OF Trade
award for his design of the Oak
View Flower Avenuel Elementary
School In Silver Spring. estimated
that standardized wings could be
built for little more than si2 .00o
per classroom. against sec. 900 al
Oakview.
Under his plans. each one story
wing would contain eight class
rooms. The exterior would be OF
cinder block.
Designs Can Re Varied.
Schools need not all look alike
Mr.. Senseman said. Wings would
be joined In differing shapes with
q variety Of treatment for con-
Meeting all-purpose rooms. offices
and miscellaneous rooms.
Mr.. Carpenter said the Board OF
Education has made no definite
decision on the plans drawn by
Mr.. Senseman as a public service
He said the board Is EXPLORING
all possibilities" Of cost savings
and Is much interested In the
architects proposal.
The School Board has estimated
that $40 900 900 viii be needed
for construction over q five-year
period. 1t wants TO start work on
"a elementary projects and eight
high schools within the next two
years.

Spout Run Paving to Advance
Palisades Parkway Scenic Route

ceived as a scenic approach to
Washington years before the
rapid growth in population across
the Potomac lent urgency to the
utility need.
The graded right-of-way into
the wooded ravine of Spout Run
skirts the Potomac Bank at a
point where rugged hills Of the
upper watershed give way to the
rolling tidewater section below.
The projected connection with
Glebe road at Chain Bridge
mounts gradually from the Spout
Run level to span ravines and cut
through ridge tops on a route
which will look down on the Wash
ington skyline from across the
curving Potomac.
May Be Open in Fall.
Bids for paving the Spout Run
project will be opened April 81.
H. J. Spelman. division engineer
for the Public Roads AdminiStra-
ton, said If a favorable bid is
received the new parkway should
be open to the public by fall.
The grading contractor, Nello
Teer of Durham, N. c.. was sched-
uled to return his crews to the
Job in two weeks for cleanup work
in advance of paving. The work
was discontinued last January be-
cause of Lnfavorable weather.
The Government will pay about
s700, 900 for Spout Run construc-
ton. The Federal project will
connect with Lorcom lane be-
tween North Danville and North
Edgewood streets near the WASH
ington g. Old Dominion Railroad
tracks.
Arlington County has a project
up for approval to widen Lorcom
lane between the parkway connec-
ton and Edgewood street
The State of Virginia, 1t was
said, has agreed to continue the
parkway from a grade-crossing
over the railroad line about
quarter of a mile to an intersec-
ton with Lee highway east OF
Cherrydale. This work Is not
expected to get under way before
next fall.

Federal park officials believe
that completion of the next link
In the George Washington Memo
rial parkway this season will BAN
ish all doubts as to the beauty and
utility of a scenic route along the
Potomac Palisades all the way to
Great Falls.
The dream Of several genera
tons of city planners for spectac-
ular approach to Washington will
be step nearer next month when
bids are opened to pave the new
Spout Run unit from Key Bridge
to connecting points with Lorcom
lane and Lee highway.
Meanwhile, the Arlington Coun-
ty Board was considering author
iZation of the final sum needed
for purchase of right-of-way from
Spout Run to Key Bridge. The
Federal Government already has
authorized $250,000. or half the
purchase fund, and the State of
Virginia has earmarked $125, 900
for the project.
Arlington Share In Budget.
Arlington's share of $125,000 Is
included in current budget pro-
posals upon which the board will
pass by April 30. "
The Government plans to pay
the cost of construction and land
scaping. with the State and county
called on for only half OF the cost
of land.
The Bureau of Public Roads
recently completed surveys locat-
ing the projected parkway as far
as Chain Bridge. The up and
down river lanes will be separated
by park areas. and built at differ
ent levels in some stretches to
take advantage of the natural
contours of the land.
The 1.6-mile Spout Run link,
which has been brought to grade
during the last year with removal
Of some 100000 yards of dirt and
stone, will open a swift, scenic
route to Washington for North
Arlington residents.
VIII End Bottleneck.
The new. divided parkway will
reduce congestion at the traffic
bottleneck at Rosslyn Circle by
passing under a land span Of
Key Bridge. While access to Key
Bridge on the Virginia end will be
provided. the route up and down
the river will relieve Lee Highway
of congestion between Key Bridge
and Cherrydale.
Federal planners say the Spout
run link win be the best possible
advocate for a. speed-up OF the
whole project.

Falls Church 10 Curb
Expenditures in Case
Fairfax Delays Funds

The Falls Church City Council
last night voted strict control over
expenditures for the remainder of
the fiscal year because of pos
sible delay in receipt Of approx
imately $4,000 in anticipated
revenue from Fairfax County.
The $4,000 is due for taxes
collected by the county from Falls
Church residents after the munic-
ipality became a second-class city
last August.
The suit instituted by Falls
Church to gain control from the
county of schools within the city
will be heard April Is or IA. ac-
cording to City Attorney La Rue
Van Meter. He told the Council
that the city-county account
might be settled after a decision
is handed down in the school
control case.
Budget Review Ordered.
City Manager Roy F. Dunn was
instructed by the Council to re-
view the budget with the Finance
Committee and request transfer OF
funds within the budget to meet
necessary expenses. He was ad-
vised that funds set aside for
planning, coming and annexation
are not to be involved in any
transfer.
The council voted to accept
an offer by DR.. Seymour Wolf
veterinarian. to set up a dog pound
and arrange for apprehension OF
stray dogs. A new dog control
ordinance approved by the coun-
Gil will be strictly enforced, Mayor
Albert M. Orme announced.
Participation of the city with
other Northern Virginia commu-
mites in a survey of the cost of a
joint sewage treatment plant was

Heavy Penalties for
Convicted Subversives
By q Star S,off Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, April MARY
land today had joined 81 other
States having anti-subversive laws
on their books.
Signed yesterday by Gov. Lane,
the bill prescribes maximum fines
of $4,000 or 20 years in prison,
or both, for persons convicted OF
attempting to overthrown the gov
eminent by force or violence. 1t
becomes effective June l.
The measure also requires
loyalty oaths of State, county and
city employees and provides for
appointment of a special assistant
attorney general to track down

In addition, members of organi-
cations believed subversive could
be fined up to $4,000 or imprisoned
for not more than 5 years, or both.
