is ever-increasing need.
In the chairman's words, "nu-
merous instances support the
growing belief that an acre in
in grass and egumes-properly
cared for-will yield as great a
return to the farmer as many
other crops. And there is the
advantage of increasing the pro-

essential to the defense effort
while at the same time protecting
the building the soil"
He urged farmers cooperating
in the Agricultural Conservation
Program to use the practices
which will help them in improv-
ing pasture and meadow land.
"Give your grass land the atten-
ton you give your other crops
and it will pay" he said. In
most instances this will result in
increased production fro m the
farm as well as protection for a
continued abundance"

Broilers Supplement Your Income
Ever think about raising broll-
ers as a means of increasing your
yearly income? II so. now would
be a good time TO get started with
your program.
The first question you will prob
ably ask yourself is will l like
raising broilers? This is certain
ly an important question which
you will want to answer before
investing in a broiler program
Mr.. r. c. Spencer of the Coxburg
community says that raising broll-
ers is like any other business or
occupation, you have got to like
raising chicks if you're going to
make a success of it. Mr.. and
Mrs. Spencer operate 5000 cap
acity broiler house along with
their other farming operations.
Raising chicks is pleasant work.
During the winter months the
house is warm and then when the
sun gets hot the house is real
pleasant. you've got to keep it
this way for the chicks.)
Another question you might ask
is could I care for broilers and
still carry on at least a part OF
my row cropping and other farm
work? This you can definitely
do, as the broilers will only take
few hours of your time each
day.
I sincerely believe there are a
great number Of families in the
Lexington trade area who could
work broiler production into their
farm program and realize a pro-
fit from it.
The market is good and rising
every day. If you like to raise
broilers and are interested in
starting we will be glad to help
you work out a broiler plan that
will fit into your farming pro-
gram.

Secret Plan Reported
Giving Trieste TO Italy
For Big-Power Status
By Arnold Beichmon

North American Newspaper Alliance
The secret plan recently formed
by President Truman and Premier
Alcide de Gasperi to solve the
touchy Trieste problem and make
Italy the leading power in the
Mediterranean area was revealed
here today by a highly authorita-
tive governmental source.
Both leaders agreed that the city
of Trieste would go back to Italy.
but allowed Yugoslavia to have
free-port rights. Italy. in return,
will let Marshal Tito have the
Slovenian area outside the city.
but the Italian residents in the
free territory will have special
minority rights and guarantees.
Details Concealed.
Few details of the Truman-De
Gasperi accord have leaked out.
In its full significance the agree
ment demonstrates that Italy's
now-or-never comback fight will
get the financial support of the
United States. Major parts Of the
agreement have not been released,
because of the need, first. of pla-
eating the British and French
government, and, second. because
of the need to have Tito's agree
ment on the Trieste clause.
One major strategic victory of
the Italo-American accord is that
it will lead to decline in the
popularity of the Italian Com
munist Party, which may be
faced with the necessity of op-
posing the sweeping rearmament
clauses because of Russia's ex-
pected bitter denunciation. In
addition. this accord may de-
prive the Italian Communists
of a top domestic issue. unem-
ployment. because America has
agreed to a new program of eco
l1ornic assistance for Italy, as
well as specific aid for the migra-
ton of Italy's surplus population.
ANso Va EheASNAhNASs
The September 6 statement,
following three days of confer
,ences in Washington between De
Gasperi and the President, spoke
In generalities deliberately. be-
cause the bargain has not yet
been tied down in all details, but
here are other essential parts of
the story:
/. The peace-treaty guilt clause,
by which Italy assumed RESPONSE
bility for World War II. will be
erased, with the blessing of Eng
land and France.
2. Italy will be allowed to re-
arm, and to set up an ornaments
industry to enable her to supply
North Atlantic Treaty organiza-
ton signatories with essential war
implements.
The United States has agreed to
make available funds and stra-
tegic raw materials to Italy for
her to produce an estimated $500
million worth of defense materiel.
Thus, Italy will be able to get rid
OF her unemployment, variously
estimated as from 1.8 million to 2
million workers. BY elimination
Of the restriction on the size of
her army, now set at a little more
than 100000 men, with no or
ganiZed reserve, and increasing
her military forces to 800 900, plus
migration of surplus population to
other countries, it is estimated
that Italy can eliminate the bulk
of unemployment within two
years.
The big problem, which seems
remote to Americans, is the agree
ment reached on Trieste. Italians
and Yugoslays have almost come
to blows over this 320-square-mile
enclave on the Adriatic. Now the
United States is prepared to ask
Tito to settle the problem, ac-l
cording to the Truman-De Gas
peri agreement.
