The familiar essay. as Irwin
Edman remarks in the mtroduc-
ton to this collection. has be-
come unfamiliar of late. The au-
thor. leaving the more vital is
sues Of the day aside, says, dis
armingly, that all he asks of
his reader is that he might say:
Curious! Just what I've been
thinking" That is very little
to ask of a reader in these times,
and Mr.. Edman. a philosopher
and a teacher of philosophy. is
to be congratulated on the
modesty of his aims.
The ruminations here cover a
period of seven years and are
particularly valuable as a re-
minder of our early postwar
mood, before disillusionment
ana rear set in. Mr.. Edman
was hopeful then, but what is
more important is that he is
hopeful now. In a mild little
rebellion against the havoc cry
ers, he describes in Reasons for
Celebration" his excuses for be-
ing Of good heart: ITO the long
perspective it may be earlier
than we think, and even this
little gleam of hope is worth
celebrating"
For the rest. the author pom
ders quietly the pleasures of
flying. the wisdom of keeping
a journal. the advisability of
having an analyst. and such
matters. An unpretentious, and
pleasant volume.

Churchill History
Brings New Volume
On 'CIosinq Rinq'
THE SECOND WORLD W.

THE SECOND WORLD WAR:
CLOSING THE RING
BY Winston S. Churchill.
Houghton, Miflin; $6.)
Britain's new Prime Minister
continues the story of Britain's
wartime Prime Minister in this
new volume of his monumental
history.
The theme of these 75O pages
is How Nazi Germany was
isolated and assailed on all
sides" 1t covers the year end
ing June, 1914; in that 12-
month, says Mr.. Churchill, the
danger was not defeat but stale
mate. Yet this is the brave
account of invincible Allied ad-
vances in all quarters of the
embattled globe, and it leads
to the eve of the cross-Chan-
mel invasion.
Americans may be interested
first of all in the places where
the report touches, or rubs,
Americans: Mr.. Churchill got
here for the Quebec talks to find
Harry Hopkins in the F. D. R.
doghouse; Elliott Roosevelt's re-
port on the Teheran banquet
was highly colored and ex-
tremely misleading; Mr..
Churchill's hope Of keeping con-
troll of the Aegean led to "the
most acute difference ever had
with Gen. Eisenhower; Mr..
Roosevelt's plan to aid Chang,
not Mr.. Churchill's attitude,
threatened to delay the Chan
mel crossing, Mr.. Churchill says
he definitely favored that
invasion, as he here several
times doth protest. The sem
tence on which Americans may
pounce quickest, because of
their questions about what price
had to be paid to Russia to get
her into the war with Japan,
occurs in an appendix: Our
supreme object" Mr.. Church.
hill wrote in April, 1914, sis that
the Russians should declare
war on the japanese as soon as
possible"
But there are unimportant
things which relieve the dread
full weight of the narrative, for
the Prime Minister kept a cap
tious eye on details. He thinks
"prefabricated" not so good a
word as "readymade";; COM
ments on the difference between
intensive" and intense; he
wants to know why workers
have been laboring for three
years on a rubbish heap or
salvage dump in Chalfont st.
Giles, and, like other political
leaders, he had his troubles with
generals and high. commanders
who spoke out of turn: There

a Little Cooperation Needed
had to give some to get the most
out of the deal. The oats was fed
in light, portable racks designed for
long loose hay with troughs to catch
leaves, etc. Linseed meal was fed
loose in the troughs to balance the
straw. Good oat hay requires no
supplement.
From many reports I knew that
chopping and grinding or rolling
grain or good hay for sheep-other
than stock being fattened for slaugh-
ter-is a gross extravaganza. Sheep
are better equipped to harvest and
chew their own food than any other
farm animal. Whatever they refuse
is either unfit to eat or not worth
jamming through them. Alfalfa or
clover and grass hay was fed in the
afternoon. A loose salt and mineral
mix was always available in rain
and sunproof feeders. The troughs
were scraped out clean before each
feeding.
An old-fashioned wooden hay rake
was all needed to ''put OUT fresh
bedding-that is, to spread out the
refuse straw and hay stems. Since

3-Step Milk Parlor
Step for Each No-Stoop Stall
BY JERRY LESTER

YOU'VE ALL HEARD of the mo

lor and probably have seen one in
your community. The latest varia-
ton along this line is at the Ernest
Lee. dairy in Lake county.
Lee wears an artificial leg so the
reduction of number of steps neces-
sary was about as important to him
as the no-stoop idea in the elevated
parlors. The result of his planning
is what he calls a 3-step, no-stoop
milking parlor. The three stalls are
arranged so that Lee can go from
one milking machine to the next
with just one step.
The new milking parlor means
milking from to 10 more cows
day but more than this, production
of more profitable grade GA" milk.
Production for the past IL years had
been of regular cheese milk and the
price at our visit was 81 cents while
the price. for grade GA" milk was
nearly double that, $1.18.

The ''old gold7 incident was one
of many that led me to use sheep

In fact, having found we can grow
annual forage that outyields blue
grass from SOC to 400 percent and
grows month or more later in the
fall, we plan on substituting forage
for grain. The forage is oats or bar
ley and rape, primarily sheep or hog
feed. The Golden Mouth" harvests
all-no machinery, no acreage al

Time and weather did not
permit the district to sponsor
the conservation tours which
had been planned for the year.
Because the district contains
such a large acreage of irri-
gated land, such practices as
land leveling, drainage and i'm
proved irrigation practice have
been the main detectives every
year. The supervisors feel that
there is still a very great need
for improvements along the line
of irrigation.
So far, applications for assist
ance on the dry land farms and
on ranches have been slow COM

leveling and the establishment
