The basic problem of agriculture in the new country of India is that of the small farm. By small farm, an Indian does not mean one of 40 or 50 acres—he means one of less than three acres in size. With farms of this size, Indians can do little more than barely maintain existence. One of the first moves, of the new government jvas to break up the large estate farms, so that each individual family could have its own farm. Now the government is moving back towards cooperative buying and managing for the small farms, on a village basis. In India farmers usually live in a village, and then go out daily to their land to work. Human advance as well as food production is being considered. • ■ o o—— Dairy experts at Illinois uni- ’ versity have discovered that cows fed hybrid sorghum silage produce as well as those fed corn silage. Those fed common sorghum do only about 90% as well. The scientists found that sorghum silage and hay free choice to cows tn milk, plus extra grain according to the cow’s production, made a good ration. Holsteins, Brown Swiss, and Ayrshires should get about one pound of grain for every 3% pounds of milk produced a day, while Jerseys and Guern- „ seys should get a pound of grain ->l»r every 2% pounds of milk produced. Once production falls from lack of enough feed, it is almost impossible ,to raise the level again. , . . o —-o— Another new development is the capture and transportation of wild animals by shooting them, not with bullets, but with darts containing tranquilizer drugs. This modern .50 calibre dart gun reex « t umbles a .410 shotgun, and is ’ powered by carbon dioxide pelj£ts. The dart is shot into the animal's muscles.

The use of vaccines and "shots” has greatly reduced the incidence of many once-common diseases. Painstaking research has made it possible. Today, infants are immunized early in life against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, smallpox and polio, and receive booster shots later when needed. Modern living, with people moving to and fro over the earth’s surface at fantastic speeds to visit every nook and cranny, demands a high level of protection against disease. Persons not now immunized against these diseases should talk the matter over with their family physician. Dramatic evidence of the success of "shots” can be seen by comparing the death rates in 1915 and 1945. In a 30 year period, death from whooping cough among 100,000 boys dropped 90.8%, from diptheria, 96.7%. -—Ho—o—- — attention has been directed towards at least four major downtown business changes expected either 'this month or in 1959. The Sheets Furniture company, of 152 South Second street, will expand to include the former Carl Gerber building next door. The shoe repair shop of Samuel Michel, now at 212 North Third street, will move to the old Jerry Rumple building next to Litchfield’s Pioneer restaurant. It is understood that Custer & Smith, attorneys, may be planning to move to a downstairs location in the business district. Also Voglewede & Anderson, attorneys, are understood to have future plans of building a modern law office on the corner of Third and Madison streets, at the site of the Dr. Frohnapfel home, which has been sold from the property. It’s a very good sign when business can expand and change its quarters, enlarging in the process. Things look good for Decatur, with several housing developments also underway.

WHAT HAS HAPPEWEB 1 When Paul Rettig's wife died, he , had three small children. Knowing Paul’s wanderlust and worried over ‘ what might happen to the children, his young sister Elizabeth went along . on Paul's haphazard trek by covered wagon from Illinois into the South- < west. vi One day In hostile Indian country in North Texas, Elizabeth realizes they are lost Paul, rather .than, ad- ' mlt thia, announces that they have . arrived at his chosen spot Within a week he completes a sod hut there. A cavalry unit led by Lieut. Harry ■ Butler comes upon It—to Butler's delight. for he had become Elizabeth's 1 admirer when the wagon paused at Camp Supply. Then Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett become passers-by. They warn Paul that his new home is smack in the dangerous path of a buffalo run. but Paul obstinately chooses not to believe them. After the two men leave. Paul sets out alone for Adobe Walls to replenish the wood supply be neglected when he chose bte settlement site. At dusk, winds and rain drive him to the ground for shelter. Then, seeing buffalo stampeding across the prairie toward him. Paul races away till he drops dead of exhaustion. Meanwhile, seeing the storm brewing. Bat Masterson and Pat Garrett turn back to the Rettigs' sod hut. It is blown down by the cyclonic winds, but Bat and Pat and Elizabeth and the children survive, with no worse Injury than Elizabeth’s broken arm. The decisive help of Bat and Pat is not appreciated by young Tom Rettig. When he realizes his father is dead. Tom is unreasonably angry at Masterson for not finding and rescuing Paul Rettig. . . Masterson and Garrett are relieved of responsibility for the little group when Lieut. Finley Burkhauser’s cavalry patrol comes along and takes Elizabeth and the children back to Camp Supply, where Burkhauser proceeds to fall in lova with and propose to Elizabeth. CHAPTER 11 IN THE evening Elizabeth Rettig left the infirmary and walked around Camp Supply, listening to the talk, observing the movers, the farmers. Recalling Finley Burkhauser’s talk about opportunity, she saw that for every man who succeeded, there were ten who failed somewhere . along the line. In the back of her mind there lurked the practical balance that governed her thinking; making up her mind to go back to Mustang Creek had been the whole decision, but it was not as simple as all that She would have to have a team and a wagon, and supplies to last her out the winter, and tools with which to build; all these things would cost money, and she had leas than a hundred dollars. Filling out her needs with what she had would not be easy, so she moved from wagon to wagon, listening to the talk, and finally she found what she searched for, a failure, a man eager to quit Not just any man, but one possessing the things she [needed, the things she wanted. I His name was Van Moor, a Dutchman from Ohio. He owned a wagon and an ox. His other wagon had been smashed tn an accident, leaving him with a baby in arms and a great sense of defeat 1 He was a little man, almost too small to be a mpn. Past hisprime, Van Moor sat alone on the dropped wagon tongue, wondering what he would do next The baby lay in a wicker basket and Elizabeth stopped to admire it "Are you going on 7” Elizabeth Said. The man shrugged, then said, *7 suppose so." < “How much would it cost to go back?" Elizabeth asked. < The man shrugged. "More than 43 ISM, Will Cook. Ropriatod by arnu

I have." He fell silent for a moment, then added, “Fifty dollars, I think.” ”1 don’t want to go back,” Elizabeth said. “You do. I don’t have enough money to go on, and you don’t have enough to go back. But I.,have enough to get you and the bany back, if you'll sell me the wagon and animal." : ' "S'eUY This is ail I have. 4 Van Moor stood erect and peered at her. “Where is your man?” “Dead,” Elizabeth said flatly, not bothering to explain anything. “I bargain for myself. Where would you want to go?” “Albany,” he said, staring at her again. “What kind of a woman are you, to want a man’s goods for so cheap a price?” "It doesn’t matter,” Elizabeth said. "Take it or leave it” She watched him teeter and felt sorry for him, but pushed this quickly aside. In away she knew that she was helping this man, for now Van Moor could always say that he had failed because an unscrupulous woman had taken advantage of his grief. "Take it,” the man said. "Take my work, my blood." Elizabeth counted out sixty dollars and handed it over. “I’ll take possession immediately,” she said. “Take it!” Van . Moor roared. He snatched up the wicker basket and a few blankets and walked away. One of the other movera, who owned the wagon next to Van Moor's came over. He was as leathery-faced man, cheeks full of tobacco, hands tucked into the bib of his overalls. Tom Rettig was sitting on thq top bar Os the remount corral, watching three men break horses; Elizabeth said, “I’ve got a job for, you." He swung down, and followed at her heels, scuffing dust with his toes. The tobacco-chewing man was still hanging around when Elizabeth stopped at Vart Moor’s wagon. To Tom, she said, “I bought this. Now I want to know exactly! what's in it” “That’s no job for a boy," the man said, coming up. He rolled up his sleeves. “I can do it," Tom aaid flatly,’ his manner resentful “Now don’t be argufyin’ with your elders,” the man said tried to shove him out of the way ti “Let the boy alone and mind: your own business'." Elizabeth snapped. The man looked at her, his' eyes round.. “Well now, I was only being friendly. I’m a widower myself and I know you don’t; have a man so I thought—” i “You thought wrong,” Elizabeth snapped. “You want me to call my man?" “Huh?" The man’s manner turned cautious. “Well I’ll be damned! You tricked that Dutchman Ihto selling. By God, that's clever, I do say.” He turned then and walked back to bis own wagon and watched her from there. .■ . ■ ! Tom Rettig said, "What man you talkin’ about, Aunt—” "Shhhh! What he don’t know won’t hurt him. Now let’s see what’s insids." Taking inventory lasted wt]l itutement with Dodd. Mead aad Co. lUgy

into the night, and when Elizabeth saw that they were nowhere near finished, she slept in the wagon, sending Tom back to Mobeetie Jake’s place. That night she heard the to-bacco-chewing man nosing around and spoke through the darkness to him. “The Dutchman left a shotgun; you want to find out if it shoots?" She almost laughed when be hurried away. By noon the next day she knew to the last item what she had bought and considered the bargain well made. Leaving Tom with the wagon, she walked to headquarters and was admitted to the commanding officer’s office. Major Collins was an elderly man, weary of civilians and their attending problems. “Td like permission to leave the post,’’ Elizabeth said. “Miss Rettig," said Collins, "I’m afraid there will be a slight delay. At least until Mr. Masterson and Mr. Garrett return. I want to hear their story.” He dismissed her by turning back to his paperwork. Elizabeth left the headquarters building and walked across the parade ground to Mobeetie Jake’s place. A Kiowa girl answered the door. Elizabeth Rettig had never seen her before, but she recognized her from Tom’s talk; he had been fascinated by both Mobeetie Jake and his wife. The girl was tall, willow-slim, and no more than twenty. She wore a sack dress, a hand-me-down Mobeetie Jake had picked up for her, ill fitting and of cheap material. “Who be that?" Jake yelled. He was squatting on the dirt floor, showing Tom Rettig how to sharpen a knife. He looked around, saw Elizabeth standing there, then to his feet, hands brushing at his filthy buck, skins. He was fifty some, bearded, and agile as a cat Jake Lansing had long ago put aside his Christian name for an Indian name, and along with that, many of his Christian habits. “Welcome to m’lodge,” he said. "This be White Bird. Ben-aon-da-cat in her language. She don’t talk much, but she understands every word that’s said. The two fillies is sleepin* naw. You want I should wake ’em?" I “No,” Elizabeth said, “and it was mighty nice of you to care for them." “Warn’t no trouble," Mobeetie Jake said. “My squaw didn’t mind." Elizabeth looked at White Bird while Jake talked, and she found the girl watching her with her melted chocolate eyes and expressionless face. Reaching out, Elizabeth touched her arm, pressing slightly with her fingers. For an instant, White Bird stood there, then she pulled away and went to the fire, kneeling down, her hands busy with the stirring and pot tending. '.'.“She ain't used to friendliness," Jake said. “I’d leave her alone, was I you. Injuns is like dogs, they got to come to you, and if they don’t, you beat 'em until they do.” (To Be Continued) 'T jyibuted to Kins Features SnUHeste. u
