Ryegrass Also Good Bet
Common ryegrass, with a sev

antee, Is also a good fall seeding
possibility. By adding plenty of
nitrogen, the specialist points out,
gioweis find that common rye
grass pays about as well as any
other seed crop in the Willam
ette valley. When nitrogen is
spread liberally on grass, the ef
fect Is much the same as where
legumes are grown. The nitro
gen builds up a root mass which
later decays and returns a large
quantity of nitrogen and organic
matter for succeeding crops.
Formerly, when seeding time
arrived, farmers took a swift look
at their crop returns from the
harvest recently completed, and
seeded accordingly. That day Is
a thing of the past. Jackman as

has entered the farm price field.
Today, in. figuring fall seeding
plans, Jackman believes govern

Extension Service Growing
As City. Folks Display More
Interest In Rural Affairs
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON City folks are showing increasing Interest In
rural affairs. The Job of the Department of Agrlculture'i exten
sion service is growing bigger with the Increasing number of
calls upon the county agents for advice and assistance. And now
many calls come from people in cities.
Karl Knaus, central states field
agent, says In the government's
Extension Service Review that
expansion of cooperative exten
sion work to people living in ci
ties Is due to the fact that many
urban families started garden
programs during the war.
Also, he says, there has been
increasing emphasis on bringing
information about opportunities
for better purchasing of agricul
tural products. Trends of decen
tralization of industry and the in
creasing movement of people to
rural areas surrounding indus
trial areas, with the desire of
these people to grow at least part
of their food supply, are other

Man's Best Friend
' 'There li one relationship In
life that is never sullied by mis
understanding. It Is the comrade
ship of man and dog. A dog's
love and loyalty are complete
and unreserved. He has no un
selfish or sinister motives. He
holds nothing hark. He responds
with his entire nature to your
slightest whims or wishes. The
only reward he seeks is an ap
proving worn or iook or a pat
of your hand.
Foreign to a dog's soul Is the
roldness and hardness of Man.
He doesn't measure your worth
by the gold In your purse or the
clothes on your hack. He doen't
weigh you on the scale of selfish
interests.
He stands firm when others
fall you. He is of sterner fiber.
With world events revealing
man's Inhumanity to man. there
is something comforting and re
assuring about the fidelity and
devotion of man's best friend
his dog."

BERKELEY. Calif. (.?) The
earth's land area is 30 percent

much of this area has been dev

tices, he says.
He pictures large parts of Af

practices. In the United States he
estimates that existing range is
