they did not expect the situation

Refugee Debate
The debate on aid for Pales-

afternoon in the special Political
Committee. The Soviet Union
was expected, as Poland had
done. to join the Arab group in
demanding repatriation by Israel
of more than one million Pales-
tine Arab refugees.
The United States proposes
that U. N. relief aid continue
to the refugees until contem-
plated irrigation projects can
open up lands for several hun
dred thousand. Syria has OPEN

troubled Middle East by pro-
posing in the committee that the
Soviet Union, Iran, and the
United States form a commits

forecast was worse blunder than the time
Theodore Roosevelt allowed coins to be
minted without the customary sIn God We
Trust"
AS far as the forecast for the coming
winter is concerned, the issue is clearly
drawn between the prophecy of the Almanac
and the prediction of Montana Farmer
Stockman'S Oscar Moldenhauer. The AL
manac states flatly that this winter will be
as severe as any of the 10th century, with
frequent heavy snow storms
On the other hand Moldenhauer says
the winter will be milder and drier than
usual with fewer severe storms So, if you
want to tack these conflicting forecasts up
on the kitchen door and take look at them
next March, you will know which proved the
more accurate.
Montana Farmer-Stockman doesn't be-
lieve in publishing plugs for commercial
products in its editorial or news columns but
perhaps we are justified in making an ex-
ception in the case of this ancient and honor
able publication. So, If you want copy of
the 164th edition, you can secure it by send
ing IS cents to The Old Farmers Almanac,
Dublin, New Hampshire. We ask only that
you hold the Almanac. and not us, response

information as to which crop should be
planted in the light of the moon and which
in the dark.

the average carcass weight at time of slaugh-
ter has risen from 474 pounds to 511 pounds
And there is far less reliance on dairy
herds for beef production than in the past.
In 1924, milk COWS outnumbered beef cattle
about two to one. Now half the COW popula-
ton are beef animals Cattle of beef breed
ing naturally put on gains faster than dairy
cattle.
How much longer this average increase
of five pounds per year in production of beef
per COW will continue remains to be seen.
However, most cattle growers and nutrition
specialists agree that there is still room for
substantial progress in beef production eff
ficiency.
The use of antibiotics, hormones and
other chemicals is opening up "a great new
field of opportunity in the economical con-
version of feed into beef And continued inn
provement is being made in breeding and

The Old Farmers Almanac

SOME FOLKS swear by The Old Farm
ers' Almanac. And others swear at it. But,
there is lasting and growing vitality in this
venerable publication because it has APP
peared regularly each year since 1898 and
its circulation has grown steadily One mil
lion copies of its 164th annual edition have
been printed in the same form as used by
its founder, Robert D. Thomas. the first
year it was published
AS in the past, the Almanac is full of
such things as unhedged weather forecasts,
bits of Yankee wisdom, salty opinions, rec
ipes, riddles, poetry, CESSATION tables, postal
rates, and planting table with careful no
tatlons on the most favorable aspect of the
moon for everything through the crop al
phabet from barley to wheat
Regard and affection for this Iong1ived
publication has been handed down from
family to family and generation to genera
ton Needless to say, its most controversial
feature is its bold annual weather forecast
Some of its old subscribers will tell you
that its weather prophecies are almost in
fallible, while others contend that 'Sthey
aren't worth durn." Perhaps, the publisher
came to the latter conclusion himself at one
time because the weather forecast feature
was omitted from the 1886 issue
However, readers set up such a howl of
protest that the 1887 edition included a con-
fession of the editor that leaving out the

More Pounds of Beef Per Cow

CATTLE GROWERS have made much
progress in the efficiency of beef produc-
ton during the past thirty years
In 1924, 391 pounds overweight of cat
tie and calves were produced for each cow
on farms and ranches at the beginning of
that year. But, in 1854, $50 pounds were
produced per COW. BY overweight produc-
ton is meant the weight of calves produced
and the gain put on cattle during the year.
Contributing to this remarkable gain in
productivity in 30 years are such factors as
better quality beef stock, better handling,
more extensive feeding, and a swing from
dairy types to beef types for meat produc
ton.
Greater efficiency in converting feed
into beef has been achieved by continued
use of improved breeding stock. Then, too,
a higher percentage of cows produce calves,
and death losses have been reduced as COM
pared with quarter of century ago.
There is more grain feeding today and
