Mrs. Dorothy Ozieman, 26, of

problems which most jurisdic-
lions have been meeting for
years.
Some of the four man teams
of counters, for example, had
trouble getting into locked class
rooms in schools which served
as voting precincts. Others had
telephone trouble reporting re-
turns to the tabulating nerve
center in the Board Room
Virtually all the counters were
staring very complex ballots in
the face for the first time.
Most officials agreed that was
the major problem.
The Democratic ballot alone,
they pointed out, contained the
n ames of IS candidates, re-
curing several minutes each to
check. A city full of ballots like
that, they said. was just more
than could be handled in a night.
Another factor which de-
veloped, even if the ballots could
have been counted, was that the
Election Board had paid school
custodians only until midnight
to keep the buildings open,

some Weeds Make Fair Hay

Some Weeds Make Fair Hay
This is the year that 1t might
be wise to consider every source
of hay obtainable even though
it may consist mainly of weeds.
Many weedy plants which are
growing quite p%rofusely through
out the county this year have
served as valuable emergency
feed in the past and can well
do the same this year.
Three of the common weedy
plants which are a satisfactory
substitute feed for both cattle
and sheep are Kochia or more
commonly known as fireweed,
sunflower and russian thistle.
Ranchers in the past have n
listed these weeds with good re-
suits as well as putting them up
for hay. Kochia is particularly
good because of its high pro-
ten content and is used in other
states as a regular source of feed.
Weedy plants such as the ones
mentioned above are not the best
for livestock when they serve
as the only source of hay but
when they are in conjunction
with other hays to make the hay
supply stretch, cattle and sheep
will do very well on them. They
should be ensiled or put up for
hay before they become too ma
ture so the job can't be put off
for long if you want to stretch
your hay supply with weeds this
year.

many of the Turks don't follow

Bafra is one of the tobacco
growing centers of Turkey and
grows the best tobacco in this
country and in the world. Con-

and has many wealthy tobacco
merchants and farmers. The peo-
pie here claim that it is one of

Hassan took me to the Black
Sea swimming a few evenings
ago and l had an opportunity to
see some real Turkish style
wrestling in a small village way
out in the sticks. In order to get
to the Black Sea from the farm
(cifligi) we had to go across
COW pastures, fields, gullies and
every imaginable obstacle, but
made it. That motorcycle is
quite a machinel
On the way back we saw a
crowd of men gathered in an
open spot SO we stopped to
watch. Two young fellows were
going at it with no holds
barred. The Turks are very fond
of wrestling and it is one of their
national sports. These fellows we
were watching we're very skilled
and it made it interesting to
watch.
Even here the Turkish hospi-
tality was in evidence. When we
stopped everyone except the
wrestlers shook hands with us
and welcomed us. They offered
us cigarets and opened an avenue
so that we could watch the
match. When we left they shook
hands with us again and invited
us back. / really felt welcome
there and pretty much at home.
I don't think they realized !
an American. This is the
first time l have gone anyplace
and passed as a Turk. / am
growing a moustach and try to
dress like they do so if I don't
talk I can get by now and then.
You have a much better chance
Of learning how they live every
day if they think you are a
Turk because as soon as they
discover you are an American
hey gather around you and fol-
.ow you wherever you go. Makes
you feel pretty important but
isn't too good for learning
low the people live.
A few of the novelties are be-
everyday things for us
low as we get more acquainted
the country and its people.
At first it seemed like it would
impossible to get used to

ire so many things that II very

things.
I certainly enjoy letters from
