----------
•
Members of the Baby Beef 4-H
club met at the home of Harry Lew
is last Saturday night with all but
three members present to discuss
feeding methods and feeding rations.
Assistant County Agent Sawyer was
present and the weights of the
calves were checked, indicating that
the calf owned by Gale Martin reg
istered the highest gain, with an
average gain of 2.5 pounds per day.
Some questions as to the accuracy
in scales arose, but this will be
checked at the next weighing, Mr.
Sawyer said.
Discussion was given to what
might cause the variation in weights
on different days. The group also
discussed a feed with molasses con
tent which is manufactured by lo
cal concerns for feeding calves that
do not take a straight grain ration.
The majority of the calves have
been on feed 115 days now and the
lesser number 59 days. The parents
of the nine club members are show
ing much interest in the develop
ment and progress of the twelve ba
by beef calves.

Peace-Loving Citizens.
James Todd, Commander of Dis
trict No. 6 of the American Legion,
presented the following article on
national defense and compulsory
military training in our colleges
and universities in Oregon at a re
cent meeting of the local Post.
"There is a movement on the part
of an organization with headquar
ters in a large eastern city to bring
about the removal of military train
ing in our colleges. Oregon is deem
ed a vulnerable point of attack at
the present time. This issue haa
not yet come to a head, but we want
you to know the attitude of the
American Legion on this question,
and we hope that if the need arises
you will lend your aid in maintain
ing a sane and non-militaristic type
of national defense.
“Now is the time when every ef-
• fort must be made to keep the Uni
ted States out of war. Neutrality leg
islation, ‘taking the profit out of war’
and every other measure to this end
must have the wholehearted support
of all citizens. A certain amount of
preparedness for defense only must
be maintained. The American Leg
ion, the greatest pacifist group in
the country today, believes in plac
ing the defense of the nation, so far
as possible, in the hands of every
day, peace-loving citizens, rather
than exclusively in the hands of pro
fessional military men.
“Witth the defense of the nation
resting in the hands of civilians
qualified for military leadership in
case of emergency, we are assured of
a non-militaristic policy as compared
with the policy that prevails in
some countries today where the na
tional defense is entirely in the
hands of professional soldiers.
“That is why we are in favor of
military training in our institutions
of higher education. It is only by
means of this training that the Or
ganized Reserve can be maintained,
which, together with the National
Guard, removes the necessity for a
large standing army, thus saving the
citizens of the nation from a great
burden of taxation.”
