It can make this area bloom like a Garden of Eden. Better Grass, Legumes It can throw Secretary of A gricul Build Production Power ture Brannan's crop program out "Punch-drunk" pastures can be of balance. Or it could take rain put back on their feet by a renovat away from other areas and make ing program that w ill build up their them deserts. A b rie f sample of what rain m ilk and beef producing power. K illing out the old grass and grow making can do occurred at Prosser, ing alfalfa-ladino-brome grass m ix Wash., where Leo Horrigan, a big tures doubled yields of forage in wheat rancher, hired Dr. Irvin g Wisconsin tests, the middle west soil F rick, of the water resources d e -, Pasadena, j improvement committee said. The velopment board of old grass yielded 1,800 pounds of Calif., to seed the clouds at thei forage per acre, carrying some 200 tim e his wheat needed it most. As a result, H orrigan’s crop, pre viously estimated at 8 to 10 bushels per acre, shot up to 20 bushels per acre. His total yield was increased by half a m illion bushels. Scientific seeding of the clouds m ight make unnecessary expensive irriga tion projects, m ight raise the w ater level in the dry central val ley of California, m ight settle the I b itte r w ater feud between Cali fornia and Arizona over the Colo- I rado rive r. On the other hand no body knows yet whether ta k in g j the clouds over one area w il! take rain away from another. That's why farsighted Sen. Clinton Ander- , son of New’ Mexico proposes legis • i lation to control rain-making.

The new alfalfa- ladino-brome grass seeding yielded close to two tons and 800 pounds of protein per acre. To get these better grasses and legumes, lime and fe rti lizers carrying phosphate and potash were needed to build the soil's m ineral nutrient content. Completely killin g the old grass involves thorough fall working of the field. On heavy sod, criss-cross the field with disc to cut the sod into chunks. Then dig the field twice with the field cultivator, working around the slope the second time. Just before freezing, dig the field to leave it rough. Lim e and plant food can be broadcast before the field is worked or can be put on at seed ing time. Then, next spring, seed the high er producing deep-rooted legumes and grasses. A field cultivator and spike tooth harrow in tandem w ill leave a good seed bed. Beef Demand to Remain At High Level, Report The demand for beef as one of the best preferred foods in the house hold shopping list w ill probably re main strong for some time, as full employment at good wage seems to be in the picture fo r this country. Breeders of foundation stock, growers of feeder cattle and finish ers of feed-lot beef are directly concerned with the expansion of the beef industry to meet this growing demand, says Charles A. Burmeis- ter of the U. S. agriculture depart ment. Burmeister says that statistics of the cattle industry show that prod ucers have been and are now build ing up their breeding herds. "The present beef breeding herd of the country is the largest on rec ord, while the 1950 crop is apt to ex ceed that of 1949 by 800,000 head. Much of this gain if numbers w ill i be in beef type calves,” he said. ' WOMAN DISRUPTS CEREMONY . . . Member of the Blue Star Mothers, Mrs. Katherine Brown, Coll- wyn. Pa„ and fellow club members were on hand at a recent ceremony during which the world affairs council of Philadelphia presented Mayor Bernard Samuel of Philadelphia with a United Nations (lag in connection with observance of U.N. week. Here, Mrs. Brown berates members of the world affairs coun cil, telling them that they are committing treason by putting the U.N. (lag up In place of the stars and stripes. This was after she loudly told Mayor Samuel that he was another Alger Ills» and a traitor to his country. M arket Trends The above graph charts the an nual trend In hog prices, month by month throughout past years, based on records over 11 non-war years. The solid bars Indicate hogs fed to m arket weight in six months, broken bars, hogs fed to same weight in eight months.

If fed out In eight months, reached m arket in Novem ber, well below the yearly average Dairymen Lose Millions Because of Low Quality . Every year the dairy farm ers of the United States suffer heavy f i nancial losses because too large a proportion of the m ilk and cream they m arket is lower in quality than it should be.

New BOY O’BOY/ POP'S RIGHT/ 3 - IN -O N E MAKES THINGS RUN LIKE N E W / Brotherhood at W ork Loyola university in Los Angeles canceled its scheduled football game with Texas Western at El Paso because Loyola had a Negro halfback whom Texas Western would not allow to play. When Stanley Meyers of Univer sal Pictures congratulated Loyola fathers for their stand against race discrimination, one of them re- marked: “ Unfortunately, it cost us $8.000. That was the guarantee we were to give Texas Western, and we felt m orally bound to pay them j w’hen we canceled. We don’t know where we’ re going to get the $8,000, but it was worth the money.” “ Never mind, Father,” replied i Meyers, “ the Lord has ways to take i care of those things.” So Meyers, giving the Lord an assist, went to Noah Die trich, head of the Hughes Tool Company of Houston and the man whose telephone as well as that of Howard Hughes was tapped in Washington by Sena tor Brewster of Maine on be half of Pan American Airways. “ Noah,” said Meyers, “ you re cently joined the church. Also you’ re from Texas, a state whose attitude on the color question has just cost Loyola $8,000.” Meyers went on to suggest that D ietrich make up the money which Loyola College had lost. Next day the Loyola fathers were suprised to receive a check for $8,000.

As a result, wounded G .I.’s suffered needless agony, even death, on the Korean front because arm y doctors didn’ t always know how to set up tents, improvise beds or stretchers, ar.d organize field operating rooms. Most of the young doctors, placed in command of field hospital units had never served outside big, modern hospitals. They had little experience un der battle conditions, often weren't even taught the funda mentals of field hospital work. Most people don’t know it, but the arm y operates only one small field medical training center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, under the command of a veteran field surgeon, Maj. Gen. Joseph I. M ar tin. How’ever, only a fraction of arm y doctors have been able to take this training. Even the surgeon-general, Maj. Gen. Raymond W. Bliss, has no background as a field surgeon but was selected on the basis of his record for operating large army hospitals. Like most of his pred ecessors, Bliss has had excellent hospital training but little experi ence near the front. Most m ilita ry branches won’t appoint a chief who hasn’t been a field commander, but not in the medical corps. Though battle-experienced doc tors have pleaded for better field training, the arm chair hospital brass have ignored their warnings. Meanwhile, the doctors in Korea are saying privately: “ For God’ s sake, give us a sur geon-general who knows what the battlefield is, and we’ll teach young doctors how and w’hat to do in the field.” Made It A firm of shipowners w ired one of th e ir captains: “ M ove heaven and e a rth ; get here on E ridu y " Just as they were becom ing ve ry anxious, they got t h e re p ly : “ Raised hell und u rriv in g T h u rs day " FOR FAST REU heueal «.*. widely offered b~ ow **cw"‘r~ I.
