/ Senator Kefauvers statement
contrasted with testimony of At
torney General McGrath last
Monday before a Senate gambling

Life in the Country
1t Just Won't Do to Sit q Tractor
While Thinking About Other Things

I feel now that I can qualify
as a real farmer, having driven
a big tractor in front of binder
I went over the other day to help
Tweed Howser cut his wheat, al
though, if he were asked privately
I expect he would consider my
aid questionable.
For after all, Tweed had to work
pretty hard showing me how to
get all of the equipment around
the field without tearing down
half of the wheat. And then he
had to keep PRETTY close watch
to see that I didn't mistake the
wheat field for a race track and
tear up several thousands of dol
lars worth of equipment.
got along fairly well, I sup
pose, because after the wheat
was down you could look over the
the field and it loked pretty clean.
There weren't too many places
where a bunch of standing grain
told where I had cut a corner too
short, or else got to thinking
about something else and run out
of the SWath.
I used to think that tractor
driving would be fine job on the
farm-that you could drive along
and do most of your thinking fol
the next week. That won't work
because when you start thinking
about something besides the jot
you are doing, the tractor has 9
habit of getting out of hand.
Tweed kept telling me how gooe
his daughter was at pulling {
binder. That she could keep the
corners round and never missed
any grain. And I noticed thai
when I left, he didn't say to hurry
back tomorrow.
But, after all, a farm manager
has enough troubles, I suppose.

baler or field chopper has made
hay making an easier job.
Some pickup balers will bale a
thousand or more bales of hay a
day, which means that more hay
can be handled in a shorter time
than by using the old methods.
Some farmers who have seen
the field chopper at work. predict
that the baler will be an obsolete
tool in a few years. With the
chopper, silage can be made and
blown into the silo. or hay can be
chopped in the field and blown
into the hay NOV. There will be
no more lifting in making hay.
And, if farmer has a barn
dryer, he needn't depend too much
on the weather. And he will have
better hay. too.

Milking Purlors Gain in Favor
Acceptance of Method Would Boost
Supplies Here, Observers Declare

Years ago doctors learned that
a room designed especially for
surgical operations could be made
more sterile. There was less
chance of infection than when
operating in a hospitals wards.
The milking parlor is to the
dairy business what the operating
room is to medicine, according to
many dairy specialists who prefer
the parlor set-up over the regu-
lation stanchion barn.
A milking parlor is a room
where dairy cows are brought to
be MIXED, spending the rest of
the time either in pen stables dur
ing the winter. or in pasture dur
ing the summer. The stanchion
barn, on the other hand, is
equipped with separate stalls for
each cow, and the cows are con-
fined in the barn during most of
the winter months. During the
summer. cows kept in stanchion
barns also are turned out on pas
ture.
At hearing tomorrow the Dis
trict Commissioners will consider
whether or not to allow the use
of the milking parlor-pen stable
on the Washington milkshed. The
Commissioners also will decide
shortly whether Washington will
substitute chemicals for steam for
sterilizing utensils used in dairy
barns where raw milk for the Dis
trict is produced.

1t is estlmaed that relaxing the

ducer dairieS will increase the

shed, obviating the necessity of
