THURSDAY, NOV. 1, 1951 4 THE EAGLE, MOUND THE FARM Many farmers have had to feed quite heavily of their silage dur ing the past dry summer. Jt mere a not enough left in the silo to full feed silage all winter, it would be best to string out the supply so cows will have some silage regularly until spring. During the past two winters several farmers have reported a sharp drop in milk resulting from a sudden change from silage to other roughage. Several folks have reported Feeing small herds of elk in the Canaan, Tide Creek, and Shilo Basin areas. The question came up as to whether these elk herds would be allowed to increase. Earmers asking the question were probably thinking of the troubles caused by elk in the Birkenfeld area. The state game commission in forms us that they are aware of a few scattered elk in agricul tural areas of Columbia county. They anticipate that any sub stantial increase of elk in these areas will not fit into the agri culture of those areas. If and when these animals be come any sort of a problem they indicate that the elk will be re moved from these areas.

G. KIBLER , County Extension Agent Here is a report from a new irrigation farmer. Paul DeShazer, Warren, is certainly enthusiastic about the results from his ladino clover pasture irrigated with a deep well. Grain feeding has been reduced from 200 pounds to 80 pounds a day and milk flow is just as good, at the end of last summer De Shazer had used most of his silage in summer feeding to keep up milk flow. This fall his silos are still all full and he has no place to put his corn. Elmer Loyd, Deer Island, got full pasture for 16 head of milk cows from 6 acres of ladino clover pasture during the good pasture season in August and September. During this time there was always plenty of top growth. He did notice, however, that in the latter part of Septem ber when night got cooler and rains came, the ladino clover slowed down and these 16 cows started to gain on the pasture. Nobody has ever figured out just exactly what makes the leaves turn into all the bright sunset colors in the fall. Jack Frost is often given credit for this job but often the brilliant colors come before the first frost nips the leaves. In the fall the colors sweep the hills. They are with us for a short time and then disappear. There is no ordinary way of preserving these bright colors in leaves. Even the brightest and the best will become fainter and fainter until they are the drab color of tanned leather. In May 1951 the farmer got 49c of each dollar spent for food. The other 51c went for marketing and processing. A person doesn’t always grow wiser as he grows old, but he certainly grows older as he grows wiser. • • faSlVDSW” To pull you out of mud and snow IL ood /V ear TUDDED SURE-GRIP ’ You get "maximum traction" going or coming from the angular arrangement of the heavy-duty studs.

Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) has requested Federal Security administrator to reexamine and cancel many of the grants re- cently awarded by the Public Health Service. Norblad said that at a time when the national debt, national spending and taxation had reach ed a new high that “it was totally unwarranted expenditure of public funds in no way con nected with a reasonable, econ omical operation of our govern ment.” A $12,000 grant to study “un- concious factors governing court ship and mate-selection” was given by Norblad as an example. He said that the professor to whom this grant had been made said that it was to “uncover some hidden trait that lovers didn’t know they have.” Among others he pointed out were “An analysis of the peyote cult as a social movement among the Navajo Indians”, granted $2,500; “Cultural and psychiatric factors in the mental health of the Hutterites” awarded $7,500; “The influence of pre-adult en vironment on animals behavior and neurosis”, given $1,000 and "Tolerance for environmental stress in aged and newborn sheep and goats” granted $19,000.
