One Acre Worth
$I0O In Milk
Production In '55

Welden Hanna, a western Ohio
District Cooperator, reports that
on his farm one field of rotation
pasture this year has produced
500 per acre in milk. "And that's
just up to July l." Hanna reminds
his listeners.
Welden has been following a
four-year rotation including two
years of grass-legume meadow on
his level farm since 1850. He has
also been suppplementing this ro-
tation with adequate amounts of
lime, fertilizer and manure.
In 1885," Welden states, "I har-
vested but 339 bales of red clover
hay from 13 acres, or an average of
26 bales per acre In contrast this
year, / baled 131 bales per acre of
an lfalfa-timothy third-year-Stand
meadow.
This field was lined at the rate
OF two and one-half tons per acre
in the fall of 81 and seeded to
wheat in the spring of 50. Since
then seven tons of manure and SEQ
pounds per acre of superphosphate
have been applied"
Welden declares that an acre of
his top-yielding meadow is worth
more to him in his dairy business
than his yield of 100 bushels of
corn per acre.
Il am planning to keep more
than half of my crop land in mea-
dow in the future" Welden con-
cludes.
The farm plan on the Welden
farm was developed with the as
sistance of Loren Carey, local Soil
Conservationist of the u. S. Soil
Conservation Service, assigned to
the Mercer County Soil Conserva-
ton District.

Hunting, Trapping
Licenses Mailed

The task of supplying 1855 hunt
ing and trapping licenses and
guides to agents and clerks
throughout Ohio gets underway
this week according to H. F. West,
Chief, Accounting & Budget Sect
ion, Ohio Department of Natural
Resources.
According to West, there are ap-
proximately 1000 direct agents
and clerks who sell licenses, in adj
dition to some $500 sub-agents.
The licenses are sent out alpha
betically, according to counties,
and the initial mailing to all agents
and clerks is expected to take
about two weeks.
With the squirrel season to open
on September Is, hunters should
experience no difficulty in obtain
in ga hunting license and guide
well before the opening of the sea-
son.
Division of Wildlife officials
were urging all license buyers to
insist on receiving hunting and
trapping guide when they pur-
chase license in order that they
may familiarize themselves with
existing hunting and trapping rules
and regulations.

Rural Problem In
FaIIout Studied
By FCDA Classes

What would happen to rural
areas if critical world situation
or actual attack should force mil
lions of city dwellers to evacuate
into the countryside
This is one of the problems
dealt with in the new evacuation
course given by the Federal Civil
Defense Administration Staff Col
lege at FCDA headquarters in
Battle Creek, Mich.
The course - first of its kind
in the worlds designed to face
the problems which have arisen
since FCDA began relying more
on evacuation than shelters to pro-
tect city folks from bombing. Tests
with the H-bomb have shown that
shelters around ground zero, would
be smashed by the much more
powerful hydrogen weapon.
If the city were forced to move
to the country, residents of small
towns and farms would be outnum-
bered by evacuees an average of
three and four to one.
On the densely populated East
Coast especially, questions of how
evacuees would be fed and shelf
cred, traffic control, basic santa
ton, who would keep order and
prevent looting, and even where to
park all the city cars would be-
come pressing problems.
Without a functioning civil de-
fense organization to handle these
problems, this flood of hungry, dis
placed persons could create an inn
possible problem for individual
farmers and townspeople. In Oper-
alton Alert, for example, which
simulated 55 American citie e s
bombed, 25,0O0,OOO were estimated
to be without homes.
If they were prepared and or
ganized in rural civil defense

Grange Active In
Community Life

Ohio is 100qo Grange Commu-
nifty Service State, an accomplish
ment which has been considered
practically impossible by tn e
Grange leaders of the nation be-
cause of the large number of
Oranges involved.
The 904 local Ohio Oranges have
made formal entry in this contest
which carries $4,000 first prize
and many, many other cash a.
wards, and which is sponsored
jointly by the National Grange and
the Sears-Roebuck Foundation.
These Oranges are now in the pro-
cess of improving the communities
in which they are located-doctors
will be secured, youth centers
built, many thousands of dollars
given to charity, schools and chur-
ches will be assisted, cemeteries
and parks will be cleaned up, traf-
fic signals installed and other safe
ty measures taken, legislative
problems will be discussed and fol-
lowed thru by action, fire depart
ments will be established, welcome
wagons put into action, scholar
ships given, and SO on, not forget
ting the fields of conservation, for
estry, and health.
Ohio is the largest Grange state
in the nation with fast-growing
membership which has now passed
the 10000 mark and which repre-
sents more than $4,000 rural Ohio
families.
Says Herschel D. Newson, Mas
ter of the National Grange: This
is really an outstanding achieve
ment to get a Grange state as large
as Ohio 1000 in this Community
Service Contest. Our largest state
thus far to achieve this has been
Connecticut with 157 Oranges. OF
our large states, Ohio came the
closest last year with 804 of their
904 units in the contest which has
been conducted annually since
1913. Had I not become somewhat
used to the Ohio State Grange do
ing the impossible" these last few
years, l would say that / am thor
oughly surprised"
Byron Frederick of Summit
County has headed the Ohio State
Grange since December of 1850
and states: II have long contended
that a Grange must serve its COM
munity, further legislation that is
sound for the farmer, and add to
the pleasantness of living for its
members if it is to do the job for
which it was organized"
The Oranges of the Nation will
file reports of their community
service activities with pictures,
write-ups, scrapbooks, newspaper
clippings, etc. by September ].
Each of the 81 Grange states will
pick their best to represent their

Q Quemoy-Motsu Attack Expected
Observers Predict Communist Move Offshore Islands
In Belief West VIII Be Too Timid to Fight

It is likely that Moscow and
.Peiping would be more 'hesi-
tant to start a shooting match
If they knew positively that
they would run head-on into
the powerful United States 7th
Fleet and Air Force.
Peiping appears to be scorn-
ing the feeble efforts of West
ern diplomats to arrange a
cease fire. The Reds are en-
couraged in this by the Sc
curity Councils failure to
bring them to the bar of the
United Nations.
Secretary Dulles and Sir An
thony Eden discussed the mat
ter further at the Asian con-
ference in Bangkok. Britain's
position is that while she con-
siders Formosa essential to
Western defense in the Pacific
and might give us moral sup
port, Quemoy and Matsu must
be surrendered to the Reds in
exchange for their assurance
not to attack FormoSa.
Mr.. Dulles contends that the
two of-shore islands are a
part of FormoSa's defense sys-
tenn. Their surrender could not
be considered unless there were
positive guarantees that Peip-
ing would not now or in the
future attempt to take Formosa
by force.
In other words the Secretary
of State sticks to the thesis Of
two Chinas," which Peiping
has already rejected violently.
There is nothing new in Sir
Anthony's proposals. London
has been trying to make them
acceptable to us for some time.
Our answer has been that we
could not accept even if the
Chinese Communists were will
ing to give us some loose
promises-and even this has
never been the case. We could
accept only 100 per cent proof,
we declared.
And we reminded our British
friends repeatedly that what
is happening Is a repetition of
what has happened in the past.
In 1888 when the Munich pact
was signed and Britain and
France sold out Czechoslovakia,
Hitler solemnly declared he
had no further territorial de-
mands in Europe. Prime Min
lister Chamberlain returned to
London and received a hero's
Evening star., 1955-02-28

welcome by the peace-hungry
British people. They believed
he had prevented a second
world war by "a just and
simple boundary adjustment"
Within less than a year Hitler
and Stain plunged the world
into the bloodiest war in his-
tory.
We are now reminding Brit
ain of the similarity between
the Munich situation and the
present one in the Pacific.
The Chinese Communists de.
mand a similar "rectification"
Of frontiers. They declare that
Formosa. the Pescadores, QUE
moy and Matsu belong to
China. historically and ethni-
cally. That was what Hitler
said when he claimed the
Sudetenland.
The Communist dictators.
like their Nazi predecessors,
say that unless all these Pa
cific islands are turned over
to them they will take them
by force and destroy the capi-
talist imperialiSt forces. If the
United States we're to accept
the British suggestions to hand
over the Nationalist offshore
holdings there is no reason
to believe that the Chinese
Communists would keep the
bargain, even if they agreed
to it.
Sir Anthony himself is not
convinced that the men In
Peiping will pay any attention
to a ease-f1re based on token
renMnciation of Formosa. But
for the sake of political con-
siderations at home, he feels
duty-bound to press his point.
He wants Mr.. Dulles to agree
once more to the principle"
of cease fire negotiations In
the forlorn hope of delaying
the Red attack on the two
strategic offshore islands and
give the international diplo-
mats a chance to patch up
something.
The concentrations of Red
forces opposite Quemoy and
Matsu seem to indicate that
the Peiping dictators intend
to go ahead with their plans
in the expectation that the
Western nations are too timid
to offer more than verbal op-
position.

Constantine Brown

The Chinese Communists
are expected to hit Matsu and
Quemoy within the next 80
days according to information
from Formosa and Hong Kong
where the Communist buildup
is being followed with pains
taking care.
The Reds have been encour-
aged by the evacuation Of
Nanchi Island which came as
no surprise to responsible Of
ficials in Washington. When
the military agreement on
Formosa and the Pescadores
and "other strategically i'm
portant islands" was reached,
Nanchi was placed in the
same category as the Tachens
not sufficiently important for
our common defense objectives.
The Taipei officials made
the mistake of putting out
statements that Nanchi would
be defended. 1t was intended
as a smokescreen, but it turned
out to be a psychological
blunder. The surprise" evac-
uation was interpreted abroad
to mean that the Nationalists
had no stomach to fight with
out American support. The
impression was given in For
mosa that this was a curtain
raiser to abandonment of more
offshore islands.
Actually, unless there is an
unexpected 1lth hour switch
in our commitments to the
Nationalist government, all
measures have already been
taken to coordinate our naval
and air forces with the Ma
tionalist ground forces on
Quemoy and Matsu. It seems
that the secrecy of the Ameri-
can and Chinese authorities
on this agreement, under the
excuse that the Reds must
be kept guessing" is a mistake.

His Fondness for New Gettysburg Farm Retreat
Makes Some Doubt He'll Seek Reelection

Week ends are being spoiled
regularly for Republican poll
ticians by those photographs
Of the happy President and
Mrs. Eisenhower fondly watch
ing their Gettysburg (Pa.)
country place take shape.
It is not that the politicians
begrudge the President any re-
Taxation. But they sense that
they have rivals perhaps more
deadly than Democrats in
those green pastures and that
conveniently remodeled coun-
try home.
The proud light in the
Presidents eye when he points
to his Black Angus cattle only
adds up to gloom for them.
They cringe when the mere
thought that circling pigeons
might sully his new pale green
and white barn brings forth an
irritable threat from that nor
mally good-tempered man to
"get my shotgun out"
Nor is the end in sight. The
President has given orders
that as spring comes on, en-
gagements made for him must
not trespass against his week
ends. Most of them he and
Mrs. Eisenhower are already
spending at Camp David, their
Catoctin Mountain retreat,
making visits to Gettysburg en-
route.

place lies not alone In its
promise Of ease and comfort.

At any rate, the offer has

The Russians have said that

If the Paris pacts are not rati-
fed. If subsequently the So
viets stand pat and say, in
effect: I'VE made you and
the rest of Europe a reasonable
proposition which you refused;
now We shall hold what we
have-namely 10 million Ger
mans" what will be the effect
on the Adenauer regime, and
its pro-Western supporters?
Ratification will mean that
west Germany will be unable.
for the time being, to open
negotiations alone - without
the United States, Great Brit
ain. France. the Benelux coun-
tries, and Italy. presuming all

many gets her army and full
sovereignty, will that, neces-
sarily, continue? The West
cannot coerce Germany to stay
