Small Acreage Farmers
Practice Conservation

Small-farm operators are begin
ming to change their belief that
soil conservation is a luxury they
can't afford.
Thousands of small farms are
now practicing all-out soil conser-
walton with exciting results.
Back in the 1905, a farming
magazine recalls, farmers were
told to cut down on corn and small
grain. The idea was to keep more
Of the land in grass and most of
the rest in hay crops most Of the
time.
After giving soil conservation a
try, thousands of operators Of
small farms have now concluded,
the magazine finds, that one can
raise more of everything. Some
have doubled production in just a
few years under soil conservation
practices.

here with you. Please let me co."
QUICK FOOTSTEPS sounded
~ along the pebbles. A figure
doomed out Of the gloom. Davis
felt a heavy hand on his shoulder.
He swung around, saw Tommy
Berkeley. Angrily he swore and
struck out. But Tommy sidestepped
the blow and drove home a hard
fist, catching Davis behind the ear,
to the jaw.
Clark's feet went out from under
him. He fell groaning.
''You dirty dog!" Tommy said,
coldly brutal. "You ought to be
hung" Then he turned to Gail,
where she had sunk to her knees.
He helped her up.
They walked along the beach.
Tommy's arm supported her. They
stopped at the foot of the path.
"The dirty dog" Tommy said.
"Why can't man like Davis &C.
cept the fact that there are some
good girls left? Why does he have
to think they're all alike?"
"Oh, Tommy!" She smiled, dab
bling at her eyes. "It-it's all right
now. II was foolish to have come
here with him. If you hadn't come
along"
He grinned. LUCKY thing for
both Of us. Rita and I were sitting
on the big rock beyond the point.
When we heard you cry out we
thought there was trouble and she
went back to the lodge by the road.
I came over to investigate. I'm
glad I found you, because now
you'll be the first to know of Rita's
and my engagement"

light to etch out the features of the
man Gail recognized the voice. 1t
was Clark Davis. Davis was tall
and good looking and dark. He
was considered wild. He had a rep
utation. Mothers warned their
daughters not to go out with him,
though they didn't say why.
CLARK" she forced a laugh.
"You frightened me at first!"
Sorry" He came close. IT
guess I've been frightening you
ever since you came up here. I
wish I didn't"
A path Of molten gold streamed
across the lake. Tentatively, Clark
Davis slipped an arm around her
waist. And when she offered no
objection he stopped and swung
her to face him. "Gaill" he cried
hoarsely. Call" And he took her
into his arms. She yielded, gave
him her lips in a long kiss. When
it was over she broke away, sud-
denly, unaccountably, regretful,
guilty, ashamed.
"Don'tI Please! IL think we'd
better 60 back"
But Clark Davis didn't under
stand. He couldn't understand.
He seized her wrist and jerked
her up close to him. LISTEN"
he said tensely. II love you!

Dry Silage Sometimes
Contains Few Vitamins

Dry silage, which has been SUBJ
jected to long-continued, high heat
of fermentation, has little carotene
of Vitamin-A content left in it. Car
otene usually is badly needed to
supplement the other rations.
The farmer with several silos
to fill should start several days
ahead of when the kernels have
finished denting to avoid ending
up the silo-filling with corn that is

Broilers need water to put on
weight. Laying hens need it to
maintain satisfactory egg produc-
ton. And they need it all year
round-winter and summer.
In years past, poultry waterers
required almost constant attention
during the winter. Often the battle
against ice was fought with steam
ing kettles of water.
One method of overcoming this
problem is presented in the ac-
companying illustration. 1t shows
the installation of a heat lamp
over common type of waterer.
The warmth produced is sufficient
to keep the water free of ice as
well as to prevent litter from be-
coming wet around the waterer.

because he was muscling in on its
racket.
ON AN EARLY morning broad
cast out of Berlin a few weeks ago,
Bill Downs of CHS relayed the fol-
lowing:
Shortly after the war, a German
Hausfrau was notified that her SOL
der husband had died in a Russian
prison camp. After the usual for
malities, the Berlin authorities is
sued a certificate of death, and a
few months later the woman re-
married.
Last month she was informed by
the commandant of the prison camp
that her husband was alive and
would arrive by train on a certain
date.
The woman showed husband No.
2 the notice, and the couple decided
that the sensible thing was for the
three of them to sit down at table
and talk the matter out.
When tho train pulled in fen
days later, botueper, husband No.
1 didn't get off, Tho Russian Of
fieer in charge informed tho wits
that tho excitement of tbs bone-
coming bad been too much for The
ex-prisoner, and bs bad died of .
heart attack tho night before.
When the woman got back to her
flat, she found her second husband
had committed suicide. A note ex-
planned that, under the circum-
stances, it was the only decent
thing to do.

At the crossing, four men wear

however, might be improved.
One attempt to do this is illus

a timer to operate an extra agita-

means of this special equipment,
he starts building up the ice bank

waiting for the escaping heat from

Premier Joseph Stain gave voice
