TWELVE hundred forty-six
Il persons visited an old
brownStone building on H
street NV. during the last
fiscal year and received the
reassuring news they did not
have cancer.
There were 73 additional
persons who were not re-
assured; but in many cases
the discovery of possible ma
lignancy was early enough so
that a cure-through medi-
cation, surgery or X-ray-
was still possible.
Although millions are being
poured into cancer research
each year, the cause of the
insidious, painful and usually
fatal disease has not been
found. Neither has a cure for
every case been discovered.
Until more years and money
are spent in research, there
is just one way to head off
individual cases of cancer.
That is to discover them in

Scrap Drive

Last fall when the national
scrap drive got underway many
farmers found themselves too busy
with the harvest to participate.
Some may not have realized the
Importance of collecting and SELL
ing their scraps metals. Whatever
the reason for the drive not pro-
ducing as much scrap as is need
ed, the fact is that several steel
mills have been forced to close
down because of shortage of scrap
metals. Mr.. Jos. H. Blandford,
Chairman of the Maryland Pro-
duction and Marketing Admins
stration State Committee, urges
very strongly that all Maryland
farmers take another look around
and get every piece of scrap metal
that is left and move it into deal
ers' hands.

Drained Acres
Feed 264 Cattle
By GEORGE n. CARKEEK
Madison CoNntn

LAST WINTER, 264 head of cattle
grazed and were fed on the 200 acres
of land we had reclaimed the year
before by building a mile and half
of drainage bitches. Part of their
feed was the 200 tons of wild hay
we put up on this same land the
first summer after draining it.
That, in nutshell, is the story Of
our land drainage project.
The 200 acres we reclaimed had
been under water and full of slough
grass for years. It was a glare Of ice
each winter-so not even useful as
a feedlot.
We had tried once to build drain
age bitches by use of dynamite. But
this failed entirely because a layer
of clay hardpan about four fees down
kept us from blasting down to gravel
and good drainage.
With the cooperation of the Soil
Conservation service, we figured out
a drainage system and hired a drag
line and operator to dig the bitches.
These bitches average % feet across
the top and are z to 9 feet deep. This
depth cuts through the topsoil and
the layer of clay hardpan into a
layer of gravel, SO we get excellent
drainage, first into a creek and
finally to the Madison river.
After the land drained, we burned
the old grass. The first summer, a
new crop Of excellent wild hay grew
on this heretofore worthless ground.
The 200 tons of hay we put up more
than paid the entire cost of the
bitches. And, since that summer
proved to be dry and our irrigated
crop turned out short, we really have
been saved by this reclaimed hay
land.

nights for days on end but want
none of that worry.
We have been working on cattle
ranch these past four years. My hus-
band has built cages in his spare
time and have cared for the chin
chillas. But now we feel that the
time has come to do as other chin
chilla breeders do when the herd
outgrows the garage, the basement
or the spare room. We plan TO put
UP fair-sized building for our herd
on our own acres and will be spend
ing more and more time with them.

is changed every few weeks. A
wooden nest box is inches long, IL
inches wide and II inches high is
attached to the end of each cage.
Each cage has a removable wooden
tunnel, a shelf and two-pound cof-
fee can, opened at both ends and
wired to the side of the cage for
another tunnel. Boards from apple
boxes and crates are placed in the
cages for them to sit on. We give
them pieces of brick, sand rocks,
cedar sticks, apple twigs, spools,
sagebrush and salt spools to chew
on. These things keep them busy
and happy.

Animals Ali Named
AS on nearly every small chinchilla
ranch, our animals are all named.
Each has different personality and
all seem more intelligent than any
other animal I've known. So it is
well to keep in mind all ideas picked
up for use in handling them. I often
use the following: In remating an
older pair, we like to turn them loose
in room with nest box, a tunnel
and food in one corner. Generally in
less than "a hours they will be sleep
ing side by side and can safely be
put in cage.
In mating young pairs (5 to Z
months old) we place them both in
the nest box of cage strange to
both. If they start quarrelng, put
them both in the jail. This is a small
wire cage. I carry them around for
awhile while I'm feeding or cleaning
and they soon are friends. If an. older
pair is fussing for no good reason, /
put the trouble maker in jail and
set the Jail in the cage for awhile. It
seems to work wonders. These
troubles aren't frequent.

starting to raise chinchillas in a
ranching community is getting ones
friends and neighbors used to the
idea. They were sure we were crazy
and some still wonder. The opinion
was that only cattle or more land
could possibly be worth what chin
chillas cost. They called them squir-
rels, rats and Dummies.
We would explain that they were
rodents and that their ancestors were
imported from South America in
1928 in an effort to save chinchillas
from extinction and in hopes of
building fur industry that would
again supply royalty and the we'll
to-do with the luxury fur they had
worn in the past.
There are now over 6,400 regis
tered chinchilla owners in the United
States and over 1000 in Canada.
Each owner has a brand which is
tattooed in the animals left ear,
year letter and number in the other.
All American records are kept at
National Chinchilla Breed ders of
America headquarters at Salt Lake
City, Utah.
We took possession of our animals
four years ago. We had two pairs
and two extra males. My husband
had never seen a chinchilla and
had visited only one ranch. We
placed their cages in a spare room
in the house. They were very wild.
We would turn the light on in their
room and stand outside a few feet
from the window and watch them
go flying around the cages fast as
squirrels, rolling IN pans of clean
sand for the daily bath. combing
their own and each others whisIrers
and neck fur with their fore paws
and front teeth.
Soft. Dense Fur
They have a fur that tops them
all for soft, dense sickness. Each
hair branches so times or more. The
underfur looks like new stove pipe
at the base. This is topped by slight
band of silvery white and a tiny
black tip. This gives an overall blue
appearance Our animals are me-
dunn to medium dark. There are
lighter and darker shades of chin
chillas but we prefer this color. The
stomach fur from the lower jaw to
the base of the tail is silvery white.
An average size animal weighs from
is to 20 ounces.
Before we'd had our first animals
home a year, we borrowed money
and bought two more pairs. Seems
as if the past 31k years has brought
many of these lovely little babies
who enter this world with their eyes

Due to it's size and stately flying,
the milkweed butterfly bears the
name of Monarch. The large wings
are heavily marked in black, with
large white dots in the margin. The
color of the remainder of the wings
both above and below is reddish
brown.
Monarchs arrive from the South
in the spring and may be seen all
through the summer until October.
The mother finds the milkweed
plant in a field and selects the un-
derside of the leaf for anchoring
her small white eggs. The leaves
will furnish her offspring with all
the food and shelter they will need
during entire youth.
About two weeks after the eggs
have been laid. small black and
white caterpillars are grazing on
the leaf. The birthday skin is soon
too tight and must be shed. Fast
ing a day and remaining quiet, the
tight uniform splits, revealing a
more roomy one.
With a comfortable suit on, the
caterpillar returns to his steady
|gorging. Soon this garment is too
tight and he sheds it. Several
changes are made during this Pc
riod. At last the plump caterpillar
in black stripes has four flexible
orange-colored horns. two on the
