If you want bigger bits of butterfat, there’s nothing better for bigger pats of butterfat than a better bull. And that bunch of B’s without honey brings me to the matter of insuring a better future milk production in your herd by care in picking out a herd sire. The best way to judge a bull is by the milk production records of its daughters. So before you select the animal which will sire your calves, check back on the bull’s daughters. If those daughters are producing at a high rate and have done so since the first time they freshened, then the bull is good enough for your herd. In the next few months, cows which will freshen in the fall of 1946 will be bred. A year from now, the milk producers of 1918-49 and later will be arriving on farms. If you want cows that will make snore pounds of milk and more pounds of butterfat at no more cost than ordinary cows, you have the answer in the selection of your herd sire. 1)1 In making your plans for winter feeding, remember that the extension people recommend that a cow be fed on a basis of the quantity of milk it produces. If we fed humans on the amount of work done, I know some folks who’d be living on bread and water — and not very good water, either. When you fijpire out how much feed you’ll need to take your cows through the winter at top production, check the milk production records of each cow. Each animal needs as much high quality forage which it will eat, plus one pound of grain for each three to five pounds of milk produced. The exact amount of grain to feed depends also on the quality of the roughage and the breed of cow. Holsteins and Brown Swiss need a pound of grain for each four or five pounds of milk, but Jerseys and Guernseys need a pound for each three to four pounds of milk, Missouri says.

I suggest you get copies of feeding bulletins from your county agent, and you might like to write for Circular 405, Extension Service, College of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo., and a new Special Circular called “Feeding the Dairy Herd” just published by the Extension Service, College of Agriculture, Madison, Wise.* And by all means watch for the winter feeding article in the Septem-ber-October issue of the Kraftsman. It is a most interesting and helpful discussion of this important part of your program. If you do not get the Kraftsman regularly, write Uncie Bob at 500 Peshtigo Court, Chicago 90, 111., and I’ll mail you one free. ’ ■ / '7 ' Nearly starved todeathone summer a lot of years ago. Worked on a farm which had a long-armed boarder who could reach the length of the table, with no trouble at all. In case you’ve got any “boarders” in your herd, I suggest you check your feed supply and see if you can profitably replace such low producing cows with a well-bred heifer. There’s a fine hay crop this year, but it is a bit early to talk about the size of the grain crop. Just how much you’ll have for your winter feeding is something you will want to check into at this time. If your feed supplies don’t look too plentiful for your herd, you surely would be using the supply you have to better advantage if part of it feeds a new and promising producer, rather than going to a low producing cow. Heavy milk producers use feed more efficiently than do low producers and return more dollars in milk for the dollars in grain and hay consumed. Better look into this iterti before you start your bam feeding program. *NOTIi There usually is a 5c charge for pamphlets mailed to non-residents of a state; but possibly your own state has a free pamphleton the same subject.

H Record Attendance i Al 4-H Club Fair I |: Record Price Paid For Champion Steer Indianapolis, Sept- ( > (UP) • | Fifteen-year-old Bert Wimmer of i Rockville was $3,030 richer today because his grand champion Aberdeen Angus steer paid off in yesterday's 4-H club auction. The annual 4-H club fair closed at the Indiana state fairgrounds last night after a record attendance was chalked up. Bob, the 1010-pound grand champion steer, sold to Armour and Company for $3 a pound $1.25 higher than all sales at auctions in previous years. The animal will be prepared for A. R. McComb, Indianapolis restaurateur. Ted Passwater, 12, Noblesville, received $1 a pound for his grand champion 220-pound Chester White barrow. It was the second straight year in which his entry had won the grand championship honors of its class. Harry Caldwell, representing the Indiana Aberdeen Angus breeders association, presented a purebred Angus heifer to Donald Stoten, Carthage, as an award for the youth's proficiency in live-

| stock breeding. Other awards went to Gerald ■ Grubb. Connersville, and John | McCorkle of West Point. Grubb ■ was given a Shorthorn heifer by ' the Lawn View Farm of Indianapolis, while a Hereford heifer was presented to McCorkle by Dr. Will Moore, Muncie, vice presi- | dent of the Indiana Hereford ; Breeders Association. o All of the salary that V.

For Congressmen he urged a whopping salary Increase from $10,0:10 to $20,000 a year, and suggested a retirement plan for long congressional service. He recommended, however, repeal of the $2,500 expense account which the House voted itself this year. These recommendations were accompanied by a plea that Congress soon provide “decent wage scales," not only for its own members, but for persons in the executive and judical branches of government. He bluntly demanded an emergency ceronversion period expansion of unemployment insurance protection which he said now was on 100 low a standard covering too few persons for too short a time. Specifically workers and "others not now insured” on a maximum basis up to $25 for a 26

week period in any one year. If that request is granted, he said, Congress will want to increatse unemployment allowances already provided for veterans. Tha’ scale now is S2O for a maximum of 52 weeks, depending on length of service. Additional non - veteran compensation would he financed by the government but administered by the .state. The foregoing is a temporary, emergency proposal. Mr. Truman emphasized that it was not to be confused with “the broader question of extending, expanding and improving our entire social security program of which unemployment insurance is only a part.” 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

SURVIVORS OF (Continued F>om Page Ono) Houston survivors, with dazed looks still on their faces, sat on clean beds in the 142nd general hospital today and helped clear up one of the war's major mysteries by telling of the gallant cruisers last, fight. After the battle of the Java sea —which took place between Feb. 27 and Mar. 1, 1942—the Houston and the Australian light cruiser Perth disappeared while trying to escape through Sunda strait at the west end of Java. Lt. (j.g.) Harold S. Hamlin, Sr., of Orlando ,Fla., who was a line officer aboard the cruiser, told how the Houston and Perth were trapped by a vastly superior Japanese surface force. The Perth was destroyed an hour after the running fight began, and then the Japanese warships brought all their guns to bear on the doomed Houston. Hamlin said, “the Houston died gallantly and refused to give UP the fight.” But within a short time flames and internal explosions made it impossible for the cruiser to continue the action, and those of her crew who could found safety in the sea—either on rafts, or in lifebelts.

Men of the 131st had as proud a story to tell as those of the Houston. Landing in Java they were pressed into service as group crews .servicing the famous 19th bomb group which escaped to the Philippines. They kept the only American Flying Fortresses in the Pacific flying for three months. Over 100 of those already rescued from both outfits pieced together a story of beatings, starvation, and bad treatment which rivalled the worst horrors of Bataan. They were fed a starvation diet of two meals a day consisting of rice supplemented occasionally by meat, or thin soup made from boiled radishes. Some men were driven to eating rats, snakes, cats, and dogs. They were made to work with pick and shovel in a broiling heat from 10 to 20 hours a day. They had to lug huge timbers great distances on their bare shoulders. The Japanese guards were always there to beat them with rifle butts, bamboo staves, fists or heels for the simplest infraction of inumerable rules.
