 How do you know what your production figures are? Weigh the milk-take samples for but terfat test once month-make use of those figures, and you will know pounds of milk and butter fat produced per cow. Gull the loafers and get paid for your la Dor with cash.
 The average production for 881 cows in the Matanuska Valley is 6,862 pounds. A lot of cows are being milked for the pure joy of milking.

 Weed Facts

Weeds In Alaska" is the title of a new bulletin by the agronomy department of the Alaska Agri- cultural Experiment Station. It contains information about harm ful effects of weeds, types of weeds, control measures, and spray equipment. It also contains excellent pictures and descrip- 'tions of 21 important weeds found in the Territory.
 Copies of Bulletin 600 Weeds In Alaska" are available at the Extension Service office in the American Legion building. Stop in and get your copy as soon as possible.
 While on the subject, did you know: That a wild mustard plant requires twice as much nitrogen and 1 times as much water as an oat paint? That wild mustard is a good alternate host of root maggots? That wild mustard will taint the milk when fed to dairy COWS? That a large plant of 1ambSquarter may produce as ' ary as 500,000 seeds? That some " &5 seeds will still germinate ter being in the soil for as long as 30 years?
 Wild Oats
 Those of you who planted the white oats'' that were obtained by the Coop should watch for wild oats. Some sacks of this seed that I have seen contained | a high percentage of wild oats. | These seeds are practically inn possible to remove from cultivat- ed oats, consequently, do not plan to harvest this crop for seed next year. To control wild oats that were planted with this seed, it should be used for silage Be sure to cut before the seed is mature, otherwise, it will shatter and the fields will be infested with this pest.
 Wild Oats has been classified ;as q secondary noxious weed by the Territorial Department of Agriculture. A very low percent age of this class of weed is al- lowed in seed sold in the Terri | tory, and in seed certified by the Alaska Certified Seed Growers Association.

Notre Dame Using Spread
In Drills for SMU Game

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. g.
Notre Dame has been practicing
passing from a spread forma-
ton this week for Saturdays
nationally televised game with
Southern Methodist, the team
which wrecked the Irish in 1851
with the same type of play.
The Irish used the spread
three weeks ago against North
Carolina, but employed regular
split-T tactics in their next two
games against Iowa and South
ern California.
In the 1851 Southern Meth
odist game, Fred Benners passed
at will from the spread for a
27-20 defeat of the Irish.
Quarterbacks Ralph Guglielmi
and Tommy Carey were the
throwing tailbacks in yesterdays

great accuracy in hitting Paul
Matz and Jim Morse.

St. John S 10 Switch
To PIatoons Against
AII-Stars Saturday

Coach Joe Gallagher of st.
Johns revealed today that he
will use the two-platoon system
for the first time this season
when he sends his undefeated
Cadets against the District pub
lie school all-stars Saturday in
Griffith Stadium.
This tactic is designed to meet
the all-stars' biggest advantage
depth. 1--WE have a pretty
good second group on defense
and we'll use them half the time.
That's right, full substitution" y
Gallagher said.
Another advantage expected
of the 33-man strong District
team is that of a varied offense,
and no one is more aware OF
it than Gallagher's club.
81 think the thing about it is
that they (the all-stars) have
the passing to. loosen us up"
Gallagher admitted. For in
instance, when we played Ana
costa we could concentrate on
Dan Droze, but now there are
other boys who can throw the
ball around
Although st. Johns has just
completed one of the toughest
schedules played by area high
schools, the Cadets have not run
up against a team possessing
anything like the varied often
sive potential or the defensive
stubbornness of this District
team.
Anacostia's zu Stewart, coach
of the all-stars, has been drill
ing the a1l-stars in the single
wing offense, the attack that
has given st. Johns the most
trouble this year.
The Cadets played three single
wing clubs this fall and the
scores We're: SO over Wilson,
20-7 over Anacostia, 6-6 with
Gonzaga and 20 over Gonzaga
in a playof last Sunday, With
a bow to Droze's explosive run
ming and dangerous passing for
Anacostia, the team with the
most varied offense of the three
was Gonzaga, and look what
happened.
If there is one weakness to
expect of the all-stars it is the
lack of split-second timing so
necessary to an accomplished
single-wing outfit.
The all-stars have been prac-
ticing almost two weeks, but
many of the players from Diyi-
sion II schools were unable to
show up regularly until this
week. The Armstrong-Dunbar
game last Wednesday, the Phelps
game at Charlottesville last
Friday and the Armstrong
Spingarn playoff Monday were
the interfering factors.
Also, injuries necessitated add
ing two new players to the squad
only two days ago.
