er percentage of total legumeS and re-
place most of the bluegrass with heavier
yielding varieties of grass. This can
be accomplished by renovation, and the
livestock man who is particularly in
terested in keeping his pasture acreage
intact should consider this means of
improving his pasture yields.
BY renovation in this instance is
meant the breaking up of old, estab-
ished pasture sods by repeated disc
ing in the fall after the close of the
pasture season and further discing and
narrowing the following spring until a
fairly good seed bed has been prepared.

grasses such as bronze and orchard
grasses together with legumes such as
Ladino and red clover The proportion
of grasses to legurnes should be such
as to assure a stand that will produce
from IS to 40 per cent as much legume
as grass.
Grass is natures most nourishing
contribution to the livestock industry.
1t is an ideal feed and in addition to
that plays double role in the farming

Farm Bureau Has
New Basic Policy

The Farm Bureau Mutual Auto

half the words of previous policies.

big step in this direction"
The company cut the words in its
policy from 6092 to 2943. 1t in
creased the size of type, videned
spaces between lines, and placed
fifteen cartoons throughout the con-
'ract. One re-illustrating a
unique coverage-shows the COM

same beverages a man has on his

Withdrawal by the u. S. Public
Health Service of all Salk polio
vaccine from the Cutter Labor
atories for further testing, and
postponement of mass NEGOTIATIONS
in New York City and New York
State pending further investigation,
are indicative of the concern that
has seized the whole nation since
the discovery of 35 cases of polio
myelitis among hundreds of thou
sands of school children vaccinated
thusfar.
But IL spite of these heart
breaking incidents and the tragic
deaths of three, and despite the
encouragement of having the en-
tire vaccine production of one
laboratory rendered suspect, the
attitude across the nation is that
of concern. disappointment, eau
tion-but not of panic or despair
or loss of confidence in the essen
tial rightness of the vast inocu-
lation program.
Americans the country over are
in profound agreement with Presi-
dent Eisenhower who told his

ton of safety is the paramount
issue and went on to assure
his hearers that There never will

could keep fully employed and not
get involved in strikes. But he has
seriously overextended himself.
What if he could not quickly get
back to work?
Wageworkers' Debts May Prevent
Strikes
This man is product Of our
postwar Wave of prosperity. In a
way l cannot blame him. He has
been encouraged-yes, even bullied
statesmen, to overload. This young
man had more money to spend
than ever before. What has hap
pened to him might happen to
you. Here is why.
Right after the war, in 1916,
people were spending only about
459o of their incomes for life's
necessities, leaving about $50 for
whatever took their fancy. Since
1916, fixed charges such as rent,
food and installment commitments
have been taking larger share of
the income. Last year. $3.50 of the
average consumers income was
spent for fixed charges, leaving
47oos for discretionary buying-8%
less than in 1916. As long as bust
mes booms, there is little need to
worry. But should strikes this
summer, or overproduction or law
offs. catch up with us. the heavy
load of fixed charges which many
consumers are carrying could be
serious. When labor leaders realize
this situation, they may not call
strikes this summer.
Savings Accounts Good Insurance

prosperity and depression will al

controls as the more workable and
harmonious course. Our law
makers should bear in mind that
the colossal labors that preceded
the immunization program and
made it possible were not directed
from Washington.
