Viewing TV
By Hal Humphrey
HOLLYWOOD.

Daytime television always
has baffled me. I've never fig
ured out who has time to look
at it, and the idea of staring
at a TV screen in daylight al
ways impressed me as being
sort of eerie-like taking
drink before noon.
However, / now have been
assured by Bob Crosby that
watching I'V in the daytime
is a legitimate pastime. simply
oozing with wholesomeness.
Bob, the 42-year-old baby Of
the five Crosby brothers. has
been appearing on his own
five-a-week daytime TV show
at CHS for two seasons. and
his discovered a whole new
side to show business as a re-
suit.
I'm all of the years I've been
knocking around the country
in theaters, nightclubs and
bathrooms, ! never experienced
reaction from the fans like /

Every one seems to take a
kind of proprietary air about
my welfare. If they've seen
the show more than once, they
figure we're close friends"

Betty Just Forced Her Way Into TeIevision
Now She's One Of
Highest-Puid
Women in TV

One" that she got the chance
to do the commercials on this
show.
The summer of the presi-
Dental conventions. the face
and voice Of Betty Furness
became as familiar as those OF
any candidate of either party.
She was on duty from the
time the convention went on
the air until the last sign-off
and In the two weeks she did
a total of 100 commercials.
When she wasn't waiting for
her signal to appear on the
camera, she was out on the
convention floor taking pic
lures Of what was happening.
She is an ardent amateur
photography f1end. She'll take
q picture of anything.
She doesn't often go to the
theater, or to the movies these
days, but she watches a great
deal Of television.
Just Good Friends
Now about those rumors,
those dazzling rumors.
It is not true, Miss FurneSS
said, that Johnny Greene wrote
Body and Soul" for her.
"He wrote that when he was
about 20 years old. before we
ever met"
AS for her beaux, Miss Fur
ness simply said that Dave
Garroway is a good friend. and
that Cesar Romero has been
a friend since the Hollywood
days. And that's that. Even
If Romero's picture is In a gold
frame on the piano in her
living room. right next to a
picture of Johnny Greene.
With which parting ii1for-
nation. Miss Furness was of in
q cloud Of taxi dust to attend
a school piano recital in which
her daughter was appearing.
And she left without her
camera.

that the broadcasters can not

Nauman's 6OO-ton capacity trench silO
was constructed at total cost of SIS.
Half of its depth is cut into the ground.
Dirt piled up on the sides forms the
other half. The bottom of the silo is
lined with about eight inches of gravel
to give better drainage and to make it
easier to drive in and load up.
There has been no spoilage on the
sides or bottom of the silo, however,
there was considerable loss on the top
the first year, when it was covered with
straw. Now Nauman covers to top of
the silo with tar paper. sealing the edges
with roofing compound, and covers this
with about six inches of manure. Since
doing this he has had no trouble what

80 Acres Of Dryland Corn
Produce $50 Tons OF Silage
By RAY ONION, RoOi~g Reporter

WILLARD NAUMAN has had good
luck raising dryland corn on his Pom
dera county ranch. He gets more than
four tons of silage per acre and reports
that his so purebred Hereford cows are
| in better condition, calve easier and
| give more milk since he began feeding
corn silage.
Nauman has experimental with both
hybrid and open polJinated varieties
and has settled on an 8O-day, open pol
linated corn. He has planted Doth types
side by side and finds that there isn't
enough difference in yield to warrant
the extra cost of buying hybrid corn.
The rows are planted AZ inches apart,
with about to IA inches between the
individual seeds Planting is done with
a plugged grain drill, with every sixth
hole let open.
Nauman finds that corn does best on
spring wheat or barley stubble. Volun-
teer grain ON a winter wheat field is
too heavy and takes moisture from the
corn, he states.
Prepares Seed Bed Early
Preparation of the seed bed begins in
the spring as soon as he can get into
the fields. The first operation is to disc
the stubble. After the weeds have got
ten start, Nauman goes through with
a one-way or duckfoot, followed by a
harrow. He tries to get the seed in the
ground around the middle of May.
After the field is seeded he goes over
it three or four times with a harrow to
puIverize the soil and to tear out any
weeds that might have come up. This
operation makes cultivating easier, he
explains Good results have been OBJ
tanned with 40 pounds of phosphorus
per acre and this spring Nauman plans
to put in few check strips with nitro
gen.
The corn reaches a height of five or
six feet and is cut for silage just as
the ears are going out of the roasting
stage. Last year more than $50 tons

FWS REPORTS LARGER TAKE OF DEER DURING ..ECENT SEASON

This years deer harvest was 50 to 100 per cent greater than III
 1854, the Fish and Wildlife Service reports. Few does were shot during the lst eight days of the season, partially due to favorable hunting conditions earlier in the season which allowed many hunters to obtain their limit inbucks
 In the Juneau area 65 per cent of the hunters who thought they were shooting does killed yearling bucks with antlers too small to be readily seen from distance. A tentative analysis of the deer kill ed in the Petersburg area from hunter kill reports yields the foi- lowing statistics:
 Twenty-eight per cent of the suc- cest.ul hunters shots three bucks; 9 per cent shot two bucks and on4 doe; per cent shot one buck and OiC uoC, Io pCl tCht SlOb INc bucks; Al per cent shot one buck.
 A more complete analysis will be obtained when all of the kill re- port cards are assembled at the Ju- neau FWS office The cooperation of hunters in submitting this in formation on their kill report cards is greatly appreciated.
 Deer jaws which were voluntar fly turned in by hunters are still coming in from other Southeastern Alaskan towns. At present, there are 4l0 in the Petersburg office. One hundred and fifty-two of these were turned in by Petersburg and Wrangell hunters. Aging of these jaws by the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice will enable an area evalWltion of the total deer kill for South eastern. Hunters are again thanked for their assistance in the collect ion of these jaws.
