Mechanization Is
A Must On Farms

THE dairy industry must me-
chanize all down the line or
else"
These are the words of o. E.
Reed, chief of the U.SD.A. Bu-
reau of Dairy Industry. Accord
ing to Journal of Commerce, Reed
points out that fundamentally the
dairy industry has the brightest
outlook of any of the agricultural
industries. However, it must solve
the problem of increasing demand
in the face of a diminishing sup
ply of milk. Some 10000 babies
are born every day, but the num-
Der of dairy cows in this country
has declined by 100000. Reed
stresses the need for more and
better dairy cows, and most of
all, more mechaniZation on dairy
farms and in dairy plants.
Until this year American far
mers have had several years of
good weather conditions. Many
farmers will remember 1852 as
the driest year in long time.
There can be more. So it is we'll
to recall some of the lessons from
the last season, says American
Agriculturist. One is that good
alfalfa goes through a dry season
better than any other grass or
legume. That is because of its
long root system. Birdsfoot also
does well in dry weather. Another
lesson to be learned from this
dry season is that it is good to
have lot of grass silage on
hand. Sometimes it is a lifesaver
in July and August. Maybe
another lesson to learn is the
fact that although the govern
ment offered to help stricken
farmers, most of them preferred
to work out their own problems
alone or with their neighbors.
That is the American way.

Boiled" Corned Reef Dinner
(Makes 6-8 Servings)
4 pounds corned beef brisket
6-8 small potatoes
In large kettle, place corned
beef. Cover with cold water.
Allowing $3.50 minutes pound,
simmer slowly 3 hours, or until
beef is tender. Do not boil.
About 80 minutes before meat is
done, add washed unpeeled
potatoes. Continue to cook over
low heat until potatoes are ten
der. Serve with sauerkraut
heated separately with a few
caraWaY seeds.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1952-12-02

This hearty and thrifty menu
almost demands the accompani-
ment of cold beer, so pour the
sparkling beverage into tall pill
sener glasses for refreshing con-
trast to the thirst-arousing foods.
When buying the corned beef
brisket, ask for more than the
amount required for dinner. It's
delicious hot or cold and you'll
want to have some left for sand
wiches and corned beef hash.
For the first meal, cut the juicy
brisket into thick slices and
serve it with boiled potatoes,
kraut, mustard and horseradish
as shown in the illustration.

LADINo WON'T GIVE UP
After eight years, John Shantz.
an Ohio dairy farmer, could not
get along without ladino even if
he wanted to. The clover has
taken over his ITO acre farm. In
fact, ShantZ plows under ladino
to get land back to alfalfa and
bronze. BY the time alfalfa dies
out the volunteer ladino stand is
thick enough to sweeten the pas
ture and hay mixture. It con-
tinues to feed nitrogen into the
soil after the alfalfa goes.
Shantz starts bronze or timothy
with alfalfa. Later, the grass
competes with volunteer ladino.
He says this is good mixture.
1t cures faster than clover alone
and he has less trouble with
bloat.
His corn, small grain, alfalfa
rotation provides hay, grain and
silage for his dairy herd. The
older seedlings of bronze and tim
othy mixed with volunteer ladino
are divided into small fields. On
pasture, cows are moved once a
week. His crop rotation is es-
tablished on 35 acres tsa his most
level land.

It is Gen. EisenhoWer'S hope
that the delicate question of
the Senate Republican leader
ship can be worked out in pri-
vate conferences. and his friends
are quietly working toward that
end.
There is no disposition in the
Eisenhower camp to deny that
Senator Taft's declaration of
availability for the job is some
what embarrassing. They do
not wish to oppose him and will
try to avoid any semblance of
a showdown on the issue.
They confess they would pre-
fer not to have the outSpoken
Ohio Senator in what will be,
in practical effect, the number
two job in the new administra-
ton, making almost as many
headlines as the new President.
Eisenhower advisers realize he
has much to learn about do
mestic issues. They would like.
at least for awhile, to have a
Senate leader who would stand
back a little for their man.
1t is not Senator Taft's dis
position to hide his light under a
bushel. In press conference
Tuesday he announced spending
and tax goals with a confident
air and also mentioned a long
list of legislative problems he
expected to suggest to the gen.

has had this stewardship for
nearly seven and a half years,

those who have shared this re-

The Nations Chief Executive
who sat at the head of the table
had once, himself, been an awe
stricken and grim-faced man.
1t was that late afternoon back
in April, 1945, when he had been
summoned to the White House
from the Capitol. and had stood
solemnly and put his hand on
the Bible and taken the oath of
the mighty Office that had been
thrust upon him when Franklin
D. Roosevelt died at Warm
Springs, Ga.
Symbolically, Gen. Eisen-
hover had reached the same
hour; for the shadow of his
coming responsibility fell upon
him in the same surroundings,
abruptly. Long ago and far
away now must have seemed the
cheering multitudes of the cam
paign. and the golf course at
Augusta, Ca, his brief vacation

Indio's Arnistice Plan Futile
Proposal Is Confusing and Offers No Real Solution;
Inclusion Of Two Satellite Countries Unocceptob!e

India has presented a futile
armistice proposal to the United
Nations. The double talk
about what to do with the
prisoners who do not wish to
return to the Red paradise is
confusing and offers no real
solution. But the mere fact that
it suggests the creation of a
commission of representatives
from Switzerland and Sweden,
outside the Iron Curtain, and
two satellite nations, Poland and
Czechoslovakia, was sufficient to
kill the idea from the very
beginning.
The two Western nations are
truly neutral and have no OBJ
legation whatsoever toward the
United States or the other U. N.
participants in the Korean war.
Czechoslovakia and Poland.
however. are Moscow's voices
and there can be no doubt in
anybody's mind-not even IN
that OF Indian Prime Minister
Nehru-that they will take their
orders directly from Moscow.
Under these conditions, one
group Of the neutral commits
sion" would be independent
while the Reds would repeat
the Kremlin's words. And since
it is Stain who instigated the
Korean war, ordered the Chi
nese troops to join the North
Koreans in the fall of 1850 and
also decided at last summers
meeting with Foreign Minister
Chou En- Lai to continue the
aggression in Korea, the Indian
proposal would serve the Krem-
lin leaders objectives.
This whole plan was Matched
in New Delhi last October in
secret conversations between
Prime Minister Nehru and the
Chinese Ambassador to India.
United States Ambassador
Chester Bowles was kept in
formed on the progress of the
negotiations.
The basic idea of a neutral"
committee is said to have had
the approval of the Reds. The
State Department did not have

any knowledge of the details
Of the Indian proposal and was
not aware of the main joker:
the neutral" commission with
Russia holding the strings of
the two puppets who were slated
to make the decisions concern
ing the prisoners of war. An
unconf1rmed report indicates
that the fifth member. an UNI
pire. would be a representative
OF either Iran or Burma, two
countries which are directly
under the Red guns today.
The attempt to settle such a
purely military question as an
armistice by a political body
like the United Nations, many of
whose members are interested
exclusively in diSposing of the
Korean problem regardless of
what price the United States
may have to pay. is obviously
silly. An armiStice is the affair
Of the military commanders in
the field. They must concern
themselves principally with
measures for the security of
their forces in the field against
a renewal of military activities
by the other belligerent. It is
for this reason that truce con-
versations should never last
more than two or three days
and cover principally lines of
demarcation and a temporary
cessation of hostilities.
We fell into the Communist
trap and initiated cease-flre
pourparlers which have contin-
ued for Is months. When they
started on July 4, 1851. we had
the upper hand militarily over
our enemies. During these
months of so-called discussions
at Panmunjom, the Reds sue
ceeded in rebuilding their
strength in man power, fire
power and air power.
The heavy casualty lists which
American families are receiving
every week from Korea are the
price which we have to pay for
the shortsightedness of the
policymakers in Washington
and at the U. N.
The objections of the military
men in the field against allow
