Folks around here say the country lost a . ighty good mech anical engineer and gained a top notch fdrnver. Thtre are so many tricks on Knabe's 350-acre, Pow hatan County farm that neighbors are amazed. There are modifica tions on everything that's not nailed down except the Guernsey herd of 100 registered cows. When other farmers' crops dried up in the October drought, Knabe covered his with shavings and had potatoes growing and s ap beans growing. Tricks Save Labor But the labor saving devices "He's a genius with those things," says County Agricultural Agent H. W Htuiry. A prize device unloads silage from a wagon into a silo blower. H. used a piece of the wind otacker from a threshing machine to gel an 80: 1 reduction, got an other 4 1 at the pulley for a slowdown to eliminate the prob lem of moving a tractor about two nches at a time. Knabe says it was hard on the tractor to pull that slow. He converted an old tobacco curing barn to store 1,500 bushels or grain and equipped it with an e'evator. He convtrted five oth ers to store hay and equipment ard quit growing tobacco. He runs his tractor, grain drijl and roller hitched tandem. "I al ways sow my grass seed in the small grain, and you have to roll it. You might as well do both to gether. Rolling helps conserve the moisture fc the grain too. It also helps press down the rocks so the mower blade doesn't hit them next year." Knabe explains. Grain Planted Together He plants oats and wheat to gether. "I'd mix 'em anyway before I grind them," he says. "So 1 mix em before I plan. 'em. The wheat stands up better than the oats and helps support the oats." or sowing grass alone he mounts the grass seeding attach ment in fron' of the tractor steer ing wheel. It runs by a chain from a sprocket he transferred to the tractor from an old grain drill. Also for seeding Knabe has an airplane with an old automobile gas tank fastened under the wing, with a hole in one end and a five cent mouse trap over that. Les pedeza seed go in the tank and he pulls the mouse trap with a string as he flies to release the seed mostly in areas hard to handle with a seeder. He has been flying since 1M1 as a hot by. Four men feed and put 50 cows in the barn in 22 minutes on the Knabe farm. Milking time aver aje: 40 seconds per cow. The cues: To feed, one man drops hay bale from a loft, three unload a cart of silage, cart of grain, ann hay down the aisle in tandem. To milk: four men use six machines When a cow milks a little slo they milk her ahead of the machine by hand. "We don't strip by hand any more, we use machine stripping," says Knabe. "N'ope, not planning roller skates for the cows," he says.

Davis, Jr. should and eventually will get the star of a brigadier general like his father, retired Brig, Gen. Benja min 0. Davis. Sr. Air Force officers who have served with him and under him. white and Negro, acclaim the tall 'six feet, two inches) handsome flyer but there are conflicting versions of whether he is some thing of a martinet or a genial, understanding person. One former subordinate called him "the most West Pointish of West Pointers." Others said they had been irked at his "spit and polish" policies he uses the term himself in seriously giving orders. Baard Rales When hiujerficted promotion to general rank will come depends on secrecy-shrouded actions of some future selection board. A board orf temporay promotions will be held when there are 15 or so general officer vacancies. There are six now. A permanent promotions board meets next fall. But Davis can afford to wait; he's only 41. Davis is credited with always "running a sharp outfit." Men un der him expect frequent parades and inspections. They must have blouses buttoned, ties straight, uni forms spotless and be snappy in military courtesy. If he sees slop piness, a subordinate is on the car pet. Reports differ on his off-duty bearing. One officer called him "hard to get to know." Another said he was "very aloof." And still another said that "in Social talk and drinking he's a friendly chap, but you never forget that he's the commanding officer you laugh loudest at his jokes." Another report said: "He is effi cient to a point where some of us think he over-did it. But he runs a clean base. Everything is in or der including himself on every thing. Paper work is meticulous or else." A fellow Negro officer was in dignant at the "West Pointish" complaint. He caled Davis "friend ly and understanding." A fellow "spit an polish" advocate, he laud ed that quality. And in 'socialz ing." he said, Davis, who limits himself to a drink or two. is genial and warm, a good teller of hu morous stories. "Some of that 'martinet' stuff," he said, "comes from when he FREE PARKIUG S VpoieutxANOCo M.M commanded an all-Negro outfit. He cracked down; he wanted to make it an example of sharpness, and he did it." v So far as fellow officers, Davis never encountered the sting of ra cial prejudice, even as a junior of ficer in the segregation days. They point out that being a West Point er and the son of a West Pointer probably made him immune. Much - Decerated A Negro officer had a different explanation: "Col. Davis just ne ver puts himself in that position. He can smell a situation coming, and side-steps it." His promotion record supports the belief that the much-decorated Davis is highly regarded by the upper brass. His wartime rise was meteoric from temporary cap tain in 1940 to temporary lieuten ant colonel, skipping temporary major, in 1942, and to temporary colonel in 1944. He became perma nent colonel in 1950. In the meantime, he flew 60 combat missions in Europe. He headed the 99th fighter squadron to North Africa and Italy in 1943. Sent back to command the 332nd fighter group at Selfridge Field, Mich., he took it to Italy and com manded it until June, 1945. Responsible jobs continued after the war. He was commander of Godman Field. Kentucky, of Lock bourne Air Base at Columbus, Ohio and before being assigned to Korea, last July, was deputy chief of staff for operations and chief of the fighter operations branch. Col. Davis' wife lives in Los An geles while he is overseas. They have no children. Davis holds the Legion 'of Merit. Governor Bark At Capitol Desk Gov. Paul Patterson returned to his desk at noon Thursday from Washington, D. C, where he attended a conference of gov ernors called by President Eisen hower, and left an hour later with Sitite Treasurer Sig Unander to inspect four prospective sites for the proposed state interme diate penal institution.

W The public got iLs first look Thursday at the Nike, the Army's supersonic anti aircraft guided missile. Twenty feet long and one foot in diameter, the push-button weapon looks like a king-sized lance on a launcher. It is much more lethal, however. Army officials said the remote controlled device with an explosive warhead can seek out, intercept and destroy any aircraft operating in the world today. Operates Electronically Operated electronically through a push-button control board, the rocket-propelled Nike is considered by the Army as essential in de fending the United States against enemy air attack. It already has been announced that Nike batteries will be set up to guard principal population and industrial centers in the nation. The Nike and other modern weapons were put on display at Mount Rainier Ordnance Depot southwest of here.
