that they should wait until Janu-

Dickinson, North Dukofu With 22O
acres under sprinkler irrigation,
Willard Schnell reports amazing re-
suits from his new system. His fields
had always averaged around two tons
of hay per acre, but since the installa-
ton Of sprinklers, he now reports a
yield of four times that amount! This
year, which has been a particularly
dry season, Mr.. Schnell says, my
irrigated fields will outproduce dry
fields 10 to l." Then he adds,
Ordinarily we get one hay crop.
Noa0 aOe get three good cropsg'
In addition, the sprinkler irrigation
allows Mr.. Schnell to deliver his crops to
market earlier than other farmers. This
figure varies anywhere from four to siz
weeks prior I'd competition.
Livestock, too, has fourished as q
direct result of the sprinklers. The inn
proved feeding has netted an additional
four to five dollars per hundred on his
one hundred yearling heifers.
With two hundred twenty acres now
under irrigation, the land is divided be-
tween hay, alfalfa, siIage and bronze. In
seven western North Dakota counties,
Mr.. Schnell gained first prize for silage,
second for alfalfa and a third for bronze.
''My last hay crop on 45 acres" he
added, produced 129 loads "a ton to a
ton and half per load) on the second
cuttingi' An emphatic 'yes" was his answer
when asked if he would recommend port
able irrigation to other farmers.

A. AIco0 Pipe Weighs Less
Thu Pound per Fool

According to a California irrigation
specialist, aluminium pipe ''really revolu-
tionized' sprinkIerirrigation by cutting the
pipe-moving job down to manageable size.
Alcoa Aluminium Irrigation Pipe is very
light in weight. It is easy for one man to
shift two or three 2O-foot sections Of A.
Alcoa Pipe at time. Whether the farm
is large or small, the saving in time and
effort from using aluminium pipe cuts
labor costs, makes irrigation more profit
able. Alcoa Irrigation Pipe is available in
sizes from 2~ to 81 for a wide range Of
working pressures.

|Kruse, in Farewell,
Says UCS Proves D. {.
Has Community Spirit

The United Community Serv-
ices is a living denial of the state

community spirit.
Arthur H. Kruse, retiring UCS
executive director, so told a
Shoreham Hotel audience of 200
yesterday, honoring him on the
eve of his departure. On July l
Ihe becomes general secretary of
the Family Service Association of
Cleveland.
"UCS is not a controversial
agency, but one which deals with
controversial subjects" said Mr..
Kruse. "UCS is in the business
of dealing with things which are
basically difficult"
Must Serve Community.
He warned his audience that
UCS must be treated as a deli
cate community instrument and
not turned to the advantage of
any special interests. He empha-
sized that it must serve the COM
munity as a whole.
He said social problems are of
major concern today. He said it
lis a fallacy that social problems,
if ignored or let alone. will be
solved.
One Of the functions of UCS,
he said, is to mobilize community
leadership so a more effective solu-
|tion can be attained to the prob
lem of human needs.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue told Mr.. Kruse:
"The greatest tribute to you is
that you leave this richer COM
munity for your presence here"

Mr.. Kruse really put the new UCS

Mr.. Kruse got SO much accom-
plished in so short a time.

MUCH HAS BEEN written about
the feasibility of supplying protein
when it exists in a deficient amount
in the animals diet. But there are
periods during the year when the re-
verse is true and the unbalance or
deficiency lies with carbohydrates
starches and sugars.
We have been using rolled grain,
mainly barley, to supplement weaned
calves turned out on improved pas
tures with an abundance of green
growth in the fail. The calves are
held out through the early winter
storms with to 4 pounds of grain
until about the first Of the year.
Since our ranch is over 5000 feet
and we get considerable snow during
this early winter period, keeping the
calves out means saving hay.

Less grass is consumed, there is less

Same Benefits in Spring
In the spring, too, we find that
supplementing carbohydrates pays.
We feed two pounds of grain for two
