BIG BEES into the
Job of pollinating alfalfa for better
seed production. Average honey bee
has proved to be too small and tinid
to trip alfalfa blossoms and do effec-
tive job of pollinating. University
of Wisconsin has been experimenting
with a variety of large bees discov-
cred in Missouri. The hurley insects
don't hesitate to tackle an alfalfa
bloom and promise to be effective
pollinators.
REDUCING BEE STING effects
for persons who are extremely sem
sitive to bees with new anti-venom
treatment reported by United States
Department Of Agriculture. A series
of treatments is said to give lifelong
results in some cases and to require
only occasional booster shots in
others.

the antibiotic as a 1 per cent oint-

using ATOMS to kill bacteria.
Exposing produce of all kinds to
atomic rays that are lethal to bac-
terra may make it possible to can
raw vegetables, fruits, even meats
and thus supply strictly fresh food
the year-round and help stabilize

PURIFYING IRRIGATION water
by new method being tested by
the Department of the Interior. The
process is said to demineralize wa
ter that is unsatisfactory for irriga-
ton at cost of about $4 an acre.
Method was developed in course of
research on distilling sea water for
human use.
PROVING SAPONIN is the in
gredient in legumes that causes bloat.
Saponin, soapy chemical, has long
been suspect, now is proved guilty.
Chemists have succeeded in isolating
the chemical at the rate of several
pounds per ton of legume. Fed di-
rectly to animals it produced bloat
in out of 10 cases. One treated
sheep required immediate attention
to prevent death. How to neutralize
the effect of saponin is now the mex
thing to determine.

-"sLoPPING" cows. Colorad

AIM nutritionists find that milk
cows will eat their grain ration faster
and give down their milk faster if
the grain is wet. Adding l u pounds
of water to each pound of grain cut
the cows eating time in half and re-
duced milking time "a to 70. Cows
can just about drink the moistened
grain, and heavy producers which
often can't get their full ration of
dry grain in the four or five minutes
as they are run through a milking
parlor now get all they need and the
entire milking chore is speeded up.

CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa. June
1.-The scramble by major
league baseball clubs to put an
other Hal Trosky on their roster
was on in earnest today.
At least IL major league clubs
are known to be in the bidding
for the son of Harold Arthur
Trosky, ST.. who for II seasons
was a star at first base for the
Cleveland Indians and the Chi
cago White Sox.
Hal jr. graduated from st.
Patrick'S High School here last
week and major league scouts
jumped into the bidding for the
205-pound, 18-year-old lads
services.
Like his Dad, young Hal played
first base for st. Patrick's and
this spring had a batting aver
age Of .667. Last summer he
was the leading hitter on the
Cedar Rapids team which won
the Iowa American Legion jun
ior tournament championship.
Evening star., 1954-06-01
Young Hal Trosky's SIugging
Stirs Bidding by Dozen Clubs

p Baseball may lose the hard
hitting youngster to college,
for Trosky plans to enroll at
Notre Dame next year unless
"the baseball offers are too good
to turn down."
His father, who played nine
years with Cleveland and two
with the White Sox before quit
ting baseball IN 1916, says, "Well
look over all the offers carefully
and then decide"
Every major team which has
had Trosky secuted this spring
has indicated it plans to make
him an offer.
Recently, with scouts from
four major teams in the stands,
Trosky put on a show. In four
times at bat he flied deep to
centerfeld, cracked two doubles
and then smashed q S70-foot
homer.
Hal, ST.. still looks in good
enough condition to take his
turn at first base. He has kept
active since retiring from base
ball. working on his 20O-acre
farm near here.
