Thousands Expected
To Hear Mccarthy in
Texas Speech Today
by tho Assoelased Press

HOUSTON, Tex, April 2l.-
Senator Mccarthy came to an
American shrine of battle today
to deliver a last-minute speech
before the start of his own bitter
clash with the Army.
The speech. which will not be
broadcast or televised, will be
delivered about 4:30 pm, Wash
ington time. +
The Senator refused to dis
cuss the contents of the speech,
but evidently he was attaching
more than usual Importance to
it.
Long after midnight, he was
still working like hell on the
manuscript" as a friend sitting
beside him put it. Senator Nc
Carthy said earlier he had al
ready dictated a two-hour draft,
but hadn't decided how much to
retain.
Senator Mccarthy speaks at
the site of the Battle Of San
Jacinto. Here, 118 years ago, a
small band of Texans defeated
Mexican forces in the third and
final battle of Texas bid to be-
come an independent nation.
The invitation was extended
to Senator Mccarthy by the San
Jacinto chapter of the Sons of
the Republic of Texas.
Arrangements were set up in
the expectation that thousands
of Texans would crowd onto the
battlefield to hear Senator Nc
Carthy. In addition to regular
police. the county sheriff ordered
$50 auxiliary deputies to take
stations at the site.
The controversy that focuses
on Senator Mccarthy throughout
the Nation may be even greater
in Texas. He has strong support
ers here.
But University of Texas stu
dents protested when it was an
nounced that he would be the
speaker on San Jacinto Day"
They questioned the appropriate
ness of having him as the CEN
trail figure of the States principal
holiday.
Other protests came from Dem
ocratic Party organizations and

day. said. II wouldn't cooperate
FIN any delay like that" and he
added:
"TIensel knows it would take
years to do this in a trial. We
will be under oath when the
committee hears this case and
E.the witnesses will be under
oath. He can call any witnesses
he wants to.
after that's over I can
see no reason why ! shouldn't
repeat this stuff !. if at some
future time he still wants law
suit-and don't think. he will
see no reason why not have
one.'
HenSel Repeats Statement.
Mr.. Hensel repeated his state
.ments again on NBC-TV's TO
day" show this morning when
interviewed by Richard Hark-
ness. asserting that Senator
| Mccarthy is a liar but not a very
/ clever liar"
He reiterated his claim that
the move was purely diver
Sionary action on Senator Nc
Carthy's part and again asked
the Senator to repeat his charges
without congressional immunity.
In his statement answering
Senator McCarthy'S charges,
Mr.. Hensel declared:
Senator Mccarthy is pursu-
ing his usual tactics" He is cor
nered and is attempting a diver
! Sionary move. The attempted
smear is his favorite method and
he is running true to form. 1t
is unfortunate that a person as
j irresponsible as Senator Nc
Carthy is in a position to attack
decent people"
Mr.. Hensel said there was
absolutely nothing illegal"
about the business enterprise
a food concern-and his connec-
tions with it. He said the firm
did not sell to the Navy nor any
branch of the Government, but
to private businesses.
The defense official said the
firm was a limited partnership
which did business under the
name of Arthur L. Pierson and
Co. He explained that it stocked
canned meat and other food
products at various East and
West Coast depots to supply
private steamship companies.

Grains, Milk Not
Complete Ration
By BOYD ELLIS

Q. Could you tell me if cOmbina-
ton of ground wheat, barley and
oats fed with skim milk is good
ration to feed pullets and laying
hens, or should they have the COM
mercial mash which is so expen-
sive?-A. A. NJ, Big Sandy.
A. The combination of ground wheat,
barley and oats fed with skim milk
alone is not complete ration for pull
lets and laying hens.
Information gathered from expert
mentS with feed of this kind shows
that there is one other thing needed to
make it work satisfactorily That one
thing is green feed. The green feed
furnishes necessary vitamins which are
not found in the grains or milk. Re
search has shown that where a mix
ture of grains and skim milk at the
rate of gallons per 100 hens per day
is fed with the birds ranging on succu-
lent green feed production will be good.
NchiSC IllClC Il q lung pSl1Ou VI lllI1S
in this section of the country when
there is no succulent green feed l am
afraid that we would not be safe in
following feeding program of this
kind.
Milk is a very good poultry feed and
should be used when it is available. Re-
CARELESS of the type of feeding program
you follow the addition of milk will
usually increase production of the flock.
In my article short time ago I
listed several systems of feeding the
laying flock One of these systems was
the use of protein concentrate with
home grown grains. Since you apparent
ly have the grains, my suggestion would
be that you follow this system The
protein concentrate will contain from
80 per cent to 40 per cent protein. To
make a laying mash to be fed with
grain, mix enough ground grains with
the concentrate to get a 20 per cent
mash.

Spray Controls
Snow Mold
By III. ELWOOD MORRIS
What is SNOW mold?

y 1917
What is snow mold?
Snow mold is a fungus disease that
attacks young wheat plants growing
under snow banks during spring. This
disease is responsible for much of the
'winter-kill'' of wheat in certain re-
stricted areas in Montana.
What causes snow mold?
Snow mold in Montana is commonly
caused by fungus called Typhula.
What are the symptoms of this disease?
The melting of snow banks in spring
on winter wheat fields often reveals
areas of wheat killed by snow mold.
The crowns and leaves of the plants
are light in color and covered with a
white fungus growth. AS the disease
develops Sclerotia are formed in the
infected tissue. Many of the infected
leaves lie on the soil as the snow melts
and appear normal in shape but later
curl and dry up. The affected parts.
especially the leaves, show numerous
red to black minute specks (sclerotia).
Where does snow mold appear?
On winter wheat the disease is usually
associated with heavy snow cover on
ground that is unfrozen. The wheat
plants are infected under the snow.
Killing of the plant ranges from dead
leaf tissue to rotting of the crowns and
death Of the plants. Partially killed
plants may recover and produce some
heads, but usually these plants are
dwarfed and unthrifty in appearance.
No further spread of snow mold has
been observed after the snow has
melted and the plants are in direct
light.
Control measures
The results of a One-year test in Idaho
gave promising results with Ceresan M
when used at the rate of S pounds sus-
pended in 10 gallons of water per acre
with spreader added to the solution.
The application was made in November
at the time the wheat was dormant.
This spray will be given a trial in
Montana in 1854
The botany and bacteriology depart
ment, Montana State College, is con-
Quoting experiments for the control OF
snow mold with several other chemi-
Gals besides Ceresan M for this pur-
pose.
