Ts your pasture came through the A winter with a sort of run down at(fj sagging-in-the-middle look, now is.|jie time to give it a "shot in the arg’’... a good dose of fertilizer, told you about a farmer who spgnt 836.00 on ammonium nitrate and who got back more than $270 in : *i'„cre«.serf milk volume. Now I wJht to give some other examples ofß'iiat fertilizing has done. *The extension departments hlse proved conclusively the value of using lime, phosphate and nitrogen on pastures. T heir tests leave no room for argument as to why it is worthwhile. In Minnesota, an unimproved bluegrass pasture was giving 75 to 80 pasture days. !t was limed, fertilized. renovated and seeded. The first after this treatment it gave 7.5iS fxislure days. The next year it provided 217 pasture days. tolissouri found that application ofjmc and phosphate to a lespedeza plpt increased the amount of protein 144.6 pounds per acre. The protein in alfalfa went up 60 per cent after lime and phosphate were put into the soil. Use of phosphate on a pasture in Mississippi virtually doubled the amount of feed value contained in the grass, compared to the amount of actual food before it was treated. I rather imagine that somewhere in or near your own county there is a good example of how sharply the value of the land and the crop on it was increased when plant food was put back into the soil. This year when human food goals again have been raised, use of fertilizer is one of the simplest and liest ways to increase your production.

realized that the hat and mug had become important symbols in their marriage—symbols of respect for each other’s rights and differences of opinion. From where I sit, a lot of marriages would be happier if there were more funny -looking hats and old beer mugs in the background. Tolerance is a mighty good foundation for living happily together.

fresh water can reduce your milk volume. Stagnant water has been known to make milk ropey. Cows will produce more milk if they have free access to good water at all times, according to Farmers’ Bulletin 1470 from t he USDA. Tests showed that cows which could drink whenever they wanted to. produced more milk than when they were given water only once or twice a day. If you do not have a flesh stream or clear pond, a tank into which fresh, water can be pumped is the best means of supply. I believe farmers are a couple of jumps ahead of scientists. Th? scientist takes soybeans and makes them into plastics, synthetic rubber and other things. A farmer, without laboratory equipment, takes soybean hay and makes it into milk. He just leeds it to his cows. Soybeans have become popular in many states as a hay crop. Feeding trials show that good quality soybean hay is nearly equal in food value to good quality alfalfa. Soybeans will grow on land not suitable to alfalfa or clover, because of lack of lime, poor drainage or some other reason. Dairymen who cannot grow alfalfa have found soybeans an answer to their need for a hay crop rich in food value. A soy variety which will reach t the hay stage in late summer, before the fall rains start, is best for hay purposes, Purdue says. You'll find a variety recommended for your area, which your county agent can tell you about. It would be a good idea to get copies of Bulletins 231 and 346 from the Extension Service, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind*, for some interesting information on soybeans. ‘NOTE: There vwoßy is o 5c charge for pamphlets mailed to non-residents of a state; but possibly your own state has a free pamphlet on the same subject.

Link Howard Murder I To Other Slayings II Additional Evidence J Presented In Case i Port Wayne, Bid., Mar. 22. (VP) Additional evidence today tended to connect the recent murder of Airs. Dorothea Howard. 36. a soldier's wife, with the other three unsolved Port Wayne rape slayings. After the inquest, it was pointed out that Mrs. Howard must have been taken in a car to a room, bludgeoned brutally, and returned to the alley where she was found nude. This was surmised after the merchant policeman. Russell Btirni; r. who discovered het March 6. said that she was not there when he made his 12:3b a. in. rounds, but was at 3a. m. Other witnesses had seen her in the alley about 10: 15 p. m March 5 in the presence of an unidentified civilian and a soldier. diaries Dodson, and shortly afterwards with only the civilian. In the other murders that occurred here during the past year, police are certain that the women were picked up in automobiles tor their bodies Were found in out-of the-way places. They were: Wilhelina Haaga. 38, Feb. 2; Anna Kuzeff. 2ii, May 22: and Phyllis Conine. 17. Aug. ti. Burnier also said that Mrs. Howard's coat, which was found out in the middle of the alley, was only : damp and not rain-soaked, even i though it had been raining heavily i all night. He added that her hair • was almost dry. Meanwhile, county prosecutor A. .verett Bloom has filed an affidavit charging assault and battery with intent to rape against Dodson. Military authorities have not acted yet on Bloom's request that the soldier be turned over tor prosecut ion. Dodson voluntarily told his officers and police that he was with the woman and the civilian that night, but that he left before she was fatally attacked. She died last Saturday of an abscessed lung and injuries received in the beating. Although her home is in M«a. Ariz. she was living here while her husband. John, was stationed at nearby Ba -r Field. - o PLANES POUND (Continued From Page One) Hu and Lancaster heavy bombers assaults on an oil refinery at Hamburg and a Benzol plant be•ween Bochum and Dortmund.

SMALL MEAT (Contiiiiicd From Page One) American civilian# is due to take another drop during the next three months, it was revealed today. The supply for American fighting men. however, will go up while rd local ions lot foreign relief and similar purposes undergo a slight reduction. War food administration officials gave this picture of the allocation of the total American food supply during April. May and June: American civilians —73 percent of the total etore, compared with 75 in recent months. V. S. armed forces—l7 percent, compared with 14 percent for the* first quarter of 1945 and about 13 percent before that. Lend-lease- Eight percent. I'nited Nations relief and rehabilitation administration. Red Cross and shipments to V. S. territories—two percent. Boost Poultry Price Washington. Mar. 22. — <VP| The government soon will boost the price of poultry in a move o encourage production and relieve the present shortage, it was learned today Economic stabilization director William H Davis is expected to authorize the increase in the very near future, perhaps before the end of the week. Farmers will be offered a price incentive, reportedly a little more than one-cent-a-pou’.td. to prodine more broilers, friers and other meat chickens. There now is a virtual famine of this kind of food in metropolitan markets throughout the nation.

NEW YORK BACK (Continued From Page One) hour extension followed an armynavy crackdown on after-midnight drinking and entertainment by all military personnel. The two services ordered full and immediate observance of the original curfew request of war mobilization director James F. Byrnes. The gist of the owners' decision was that if they couldn't serve service men during the extra hour they wouldn't serve civilians. o — SELECTIV£SERVICE (Continued I-'rom Page One) stood it was army policy to give all IS-year-ol Js a year's training before sending th.em into combat. But Edwards said the department had no such policy or intention. In October. 1942. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson told tile committee that the department's program, "as far as poßSible and as far as uneximcted emergencies will allow." was to give men IS in 1 19 12 months training before sending them into combat. Edwards told the committee, however, tliat lite army is short >f infantrymen because of "unpredi table circumstances," and “because we didn't call enough men laist summer." He said the German western front break-through last December "upset a good many plans." 0 . — Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
