 Communists poured rein- forcements at a terrific rate into invaded South Korea this week and signs indicate that a major clash is imminent.
 The U. S. commander in Korea estimated that the northern invaders have thrown approximately 90,0 troops into the battle zone.
 Earlier, an AP report from Taejon, Korea, said that Rus sian-made tanks, supported by infantry, overran an American outpost forcing an American withdrawal.
 Meanwhile. jet fighters and light bombers continued to pound and strafe communist tanks on the front south of Seoul.
 Under the direction of Vice Adm. Arthur D. Struble, commander Seventh Fleet, carrier planes of the USS Valley Forge and a British carrier dashed at the North Korea capital hitting rail yards, airfields and other tar gets.

 Others behind the scenes: Clarence Dizney, who lent the showers at his jail to the marathon runners, who were taken up there one by one as they completed the grind from the base.
 Cecil Wilson, who miracu- lously backed the truck on which the Elks float was mounted down Alaska Way and around corners with no trouble. Betty Kizer, former Kodiak Queen, was on the Goat.
 Larry Wodlinger, who took advantage of the marathon ending in front of his drug store to promote the Rotary midnight benefit to the tune sf more than $500.
 Statistics for the figure minded: 36 blueberry pies were consumed in the pie eating contest. $250 in silver, mostly dimes, went into the hands of the racers at the ehildren's games; and 900 hot dogs were sold from Emil Knudsen's booth at the car nival.

GOOD SEEDBEDS SAVE
SEED, IMPROVE STAND

Good seedbed preparation nnd
proper seeding practices could
save as much as one-third of leg
ume and grass seeds soWn each
year in Ohio, declares d. r. Dodd,
extension agronomist at Ohio
State University.
He stresses the need for a firm
seedbed, with uniform texture.
Loose seedbeds dry out, and the
result is poor termination Firm
ness also helps get the seed cover
ed to the right depth and encour-
ages adequate root systems on the
young plant.
Because many Ohio farmers are
sowing legumes in wheat fields
this spring, he reminds them that
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station has found better stands
can be obtained by drilling super
phosphate directly in with the
seed. This is especially important
because of the late season.
Dodd recommends using $50
pounds of 20 percent superphos-
phate, or its equivalent. In the
technique developed at the expert
ment station, the seed tubs are in
serted into the fertilizer tubes.
This practice is not recommended,
however, if mixed fertilizers are
used.

EASY WAY TO GET
RID OF YOUR LAND

Agricultural Extension Service
specialists at Ohio State Univer-
sity are chuckling over the latest
recipe developed by someone for
the man who is tired of farming
and wants to get rid of his land.
Here's the recipe:
"Cut one medium-sized farm in
to irregular pieces.
Stir the thin layer of topsoil
frequently until the soil particles
are ready to be carried off by the
next hard rain. Carefully work the
land up and down the slope SO the
burrows will form waterways for
rapid disposal of excess water and
soil. Keep doing this until the
hardpan shows through on the
hilltops and slopes.
Then cut into deep, irregular
gullies and leave out in the sun
to bake. When done, season with
an unpainted house, broken-doWn
fences, some old worn-out mach
inery, rickety barn, good
sprinkling of unpaid bills, with
pinch of despair. Garnish with
weeds.
Serve with a tax sale and
move on"
These specialists say, however,
that there are still some farmers
and landowners who unconsciously
are following this recipe, little fe-
alizing what the final result may
be. Nm

Poultry Spreads
TB In Hog Droves

Midwestern farmers today were
reminded that eradication of tub
erculosis from swine droves de-
pends largely upon control of
poultry flocks.
About 80 percent of all swine
tuberculosis cases arise from con-
tact with infected poultry, reports
the American Foundation for An
imal Health.
Midwestern farmers have a
particularly difficult situation, the
bulletin said, because chickens are
commonly given the run of the
farm in this area and tuberculosis
germs can survive in the soil for
long periods of time.
Although the number of infect
ed hog carcsess rejected at
slaughter houses has been cut
back some 36 percent during the
last 25 years. the Foundation
points out, more than five per
cent of the rejected carcaSses ex-
an1ined still show tuberculosis
LESSONS.
The best farm preventive mea-
sures are good poultry house sa,li-
tation and culling of older birds.
While younger birds may contract
tuberculosis, they seldom trans
NIT it to hogs"

Can Appreciate
Saving Of Oil

Ohio farm families can appreci-
ate, perhaps even better than city
families, the advantages of saving
man-hours, labor and money
through the use of clean, autonl-
attic oil seat for their homes. i.
The farm home wIui central
heating can now have complete
new oil unit or a conversion burn,
er fer the present furnace. There
after, the thermostat does all the
work. The farm wife is relieved
of furnace firing, ashes, dust and
odcr and precious hours of tims
can be saved for productive farm,
ing,
those farmers WIN stove>heat-
ed homes can also enjoy the low
cost comfort and convenience of a
modern automatic space heater
These heaters are easily to install
and will provide automatically
controlled heat day and night.

ing in numbers during the past
four years in Ohio. The bugs form
white frothy masses in alfalfa,
clover, grasses, strawberries and
some weeds. Last year, the ex-
pertinent station found that treat
ing infested clover fields with
benzene hexachloride increased
hay yields as much as 55 percent.
Spittle bug masses usually first
appear during the last week in
April, according to Parks, who
advises farmers to begin regular
examinations of their meadows. IL
they find one or two small spittle
masses per plant, the hay yield
will be reduced unless the field
is sprayed or busted.
Minimum application rate re-
commended is two-tenths of a
pound of gamma isomer benzene
hexachloride per acre, applied in
late April or early May. Parks
said the chemical can be applied
either as a dust or spray, and
he has furnished county agricul-
tural agents throughout the state
with detailed formulas for the
various types Of the chemical now
available
He added that dusing from an
airplane is probably one of the
easiest and most effective ways
of controlling spittle bugs.
Treated pastures should not be
grazed for three weeks following
application.

Treating Fields
Increase Yield
As Much As 55To

Alert farmers can increase their
hay fields as much as SO percent
during the next two weeks.
All they need to do is watch
their fields of legumes closely and
if they find large numbers OF
meadow spittle bugs present, make
arrangements to spray or dust
the field with benzene hexach-
loride.
This was the solution offered
here today by T. II. Parks, exten-
sion entomilogist at Ohio State
University. His recommendations
are based on several years obser-
vations of the spittle bug in Ohio
and two years tests ion control
measures at the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station. e

AVOID DAMPNESS WITH
LATE SPRING CHICKS

Late spring chicks are more apt
to get coccidiosis than early ones.
Mahlon Sweet, extension poultry
specialist at Ohio State University,
this is true because later in the
spring there is usually less heat in
the brooder house, and the house
is not as dry. Dampness often
leads to coccidiosis.
He suggests farmers avoid wet
spots in the brooder house around
the water fountains and feeders.
He also recommends low level
feeding of either sulfaquinoxaline
or nitrophenide. This usually pre-

Gently elected head of the union,
but after few minutes of invective
and table-thumping both men had
stomped out and from then on had
refused to talk to each other except
through local headlines. And when
a national labor relations man had
offered his services as mediator,
he had been told to peddle his pa

TO A FEW insiders. however,
the animosity between Hanson and
Murphy was nothing new; in fact,
it had been going on since they were
kids in a village 60 miles north of
the mill town. They had competed
for the same position on the school

to cat-and-dog it during the years
when Hanson was fighting his way

the workers.

and so on Saturday he got up early

town.
The schoolhouse looked much as
he remembered it, and SO did the

right in the nostalgia was the sight
