Over 200 Dairymen At Forage School More than 200 dairymen attend-* ed the 12 county forage dairy school in the Community building at Columbia City last week. Les Smith and Merle Teel, Purdue agronomists, opened the morning session with the statement that pasture is like any other crop with respect to fertilicy and management and that within limits the greater the mput the more milk per acre. They further stated that the dairyman from now on cannot afford low yields and keep in step with the progress now being made with corn, wheat and oats. Improved forage crop varieties are now available. Seed dealers have excellent supplies of certified Ranger, Vernal and Atlantic alfalfa varieties for northeastern Indiana dairymen. Empire birdsfoot trefoil, the permanent pasture legume, is lower in price with a bountiful supply of seed for sale. Greenleaf Sudan gras for summer pasture is the top variety f0r1959. Dual wheat is the forage and grain wheat for dairymef. Dairymen in northern Indiana have been getting 35 days of pasture plus 40 bushels of grain from Dual. Oats are moving to the front as a forage crop; too. The Bentland variety produces up to 20 tons of silage per acre. Some dairymen believe that oats are worth more as forage than for grain. Machinery haying in a rapidly advancing agriculture was highlighted by Les Hill, Purdue agricultural engineer. He told how new improved machines will allow a dairyman to lay the pitchfork aside and harvest feed for 80 cows With a minimum of effort through the use of improved mowers, rakes, balers, crushers, choppers - Last Time Tonight - Technicolor Excitement! “7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD” Kerwin Mathews, Kathryn Grant ALSO — Shorts 25c -50 c —o - Thnrs.

and last of all the use of hajApelleters. Hill declared that machinery haying is the only answer for the Indiana dairyman of he future. Storage and feeding systems have also gone to push button controled hoursepower according to “ Bruce McKenzie, Purdue agricul- ' tural engineer. Larger upright si- ! los 30 feet in diameter and 66 feet high to store 1000 tons set up for ' automatic feeding are coming for ’ the 80 cow or larger dairy herd, 1 he declared. 1 Farmstead layouts ate going to ’ change, too, McKenzie predicted. ’ Silos will be built close to where c the dairy cows are loose housed, * watered, fed hay and milked. t McKenzie concluded with the 1 statement that the future success ■ of the Indiana dairyman depends upon how efficiently he turns to ’ mechanization in storage and feed- : mg. ‘ Norb Moeller, extension dairy specialist, concluded the speaking program by discussing the utilization of forage for highest returns. He pointed out that one of the , most important steps is high production per cow. One cow product- ‘ ing 11,000 pounds milk returns as much net income at 9 cows produc- ' ing 6,700 pounds milk. "An empty p . -stanchion may lose less money than a low producer," he warned. 1 Milk production per man is too ' low on many farms. Present standards require at least 300,000 pounds of milk annually for each full time i dairyman. High milk yields per unit of feed and acre of land are additional factors. One acre of alfalfa cut at early bloom stage yields 6.194 pounds of milk but if cutting is delayed until the ’late bloom stage, production drops to 3,814 pounds. Herd health and management will greatly influence the het return from the dairy business. Herd health and management actors discused include: 1. Mastitis control, 2. dairy records that every dairyman should keep. 3. herd replacement and keeping good cows in the herd longer. Dairymen who expect to successfully compete with rising operating costs cannot overlook these points, Moeller concluded. Great interest was shown by the farmers who inspected the dairy and forage exhibits under the supervision of Forest Vanpelt, Purdue visual aid specialist. France mobilized about 20,000 dogs for service in World War I. More than 3,500 were killed and 1.500 missing. Men in the Missouri “backwoods” determine whether a pair of pants will fit .them at the waist by measuring the trousers against the distance between the elbow and the clenched fist of one arm.

Tom Leonetti Says : Revelation A Shock ’ NEW YORK (UPD — Singer Tommy Leonetti said today the cancellation of his guest appear- ; ance on the ABC-TV “Dick dark Show” was “merely a first reaction to something that appeared terribly damning to me personal- , ,y " Leonett 1 28, said he was confident that be will not be puhlshed professionally for the revelation before a Senate Rackets Committee that his former manager, John Ambrosia, had underworld connections. A witness testified that Ambrosia used these connections to get ‘ Leonetti’s recordings into Chicago juke boxes. “These revelations were as much a shock to me, my family, my friends and my current manager, Dick Linke, as I’m sure they must have been to the public,” Leonetti said. "I had just started as a singer. My relationship with Mr. Ambrosia was such that I saw him seldom and I knew nothing about his personal life or anything about any reputation het may or may not have had in Chicago.” Linke said Chuck Reeves, pro- 1 ducer of the “Dick Clark Show,” told him “We ll make it up to the kid later on when this thing blows over.” Reeves denied this. He said Leonetti was dropped “for programming reasons” which he ; described as*'’an unfortunate coincidence” in light of the com- i mittee testimony. Robert F. Kennedy, the committee’s chief counsel,- said in Washington that Leonetti had been completely cooperative. He said there was no information reflecting on Leonetti’s integrity and the ABC-TV cancellation was unjustified “unless the network has considerably more information than the committee does.” NATO Commander Is Hospitalized PARIS (UPD — NATO Supreme Commander Gen. Lauris Norstad has been hospitalized since Saturday with dermatitis and inflammation of a vein in the left leg, it was announced today. i Norstad’s office announced he < had entered the American Hospital ’ in suburban Neuilly Saturday. His doctors have prescribed rest for ] the ailment, an aide said. They said the ailment is a com- 1 paratively minor one and Norstad 1 is expected to leave the hospital , “shortly.” Trade in a good town — Decatur * ■■-— - ■ ■ (

Charge Reds Taking Over Packer Union SAN JUAN, P.R. (UPD — The AFL-CIO executive council is expected this week to take up charges that Communists have taken over the United Packinghouse Workers Unicm. Although a number of unions have been expelled from the AFLCIO for corruption, the charges against the UPW mark the first case of alleged Communist influence that has come before the merged ■ organization. The 150,000-member union survived the ClO’s purge of 11 Redled unions in 1949, although it had been reported even then that there had been considerable Communist infiltration of the packinghouse group. The charges were revived by A.T. <Tony> Stephens, a former vice president and organizing director of the union, who says he was dropped from the union payroll because he insisted on battling Communist influence. UPW President Ralph Helstein denied Stephens' charge, saying his ex-aide was dropped because he tried to wrest control of the union away from its present top leaders. Another key issue pending on the agenda of the council session here is a campaign to amend federal wage-hour laws so as to reduce the standard work week from 40 hours to 35. The shorter week is favored as a means of stimulating employi meat at a time when several 1 i AFL-CIO member unions have been hard-hit by mounting layr offs. * • * <■- • * • ' . Greensburg Mayor • Is Brutally Slashed GREENSBURG, Ind. (UPD— Three men who lured Greensburg 1 Mayor Sheldon Smith into his > office and brutally slashed him ’ with a single-edge razor blade were sought today. The 39-year-old mayor, wno also 1 is city court judge, told police ' from his hospital bed that the assault may have been 1 a gurdge attack by a friend of someone he had sentenced in court. “You sent up my friend and you’re .going to pay for it,” Smith quoted one of his assailants. Smith, who was unconscious for nearly two hours after the attack, said he received a telephone call Saturday night from a man who asked to meet him at his down- ' town office where Smith conducts a tax accountant business. The caller said he needed help in making out his income tax return. But when he arrived at the office, Smith said, two men grabbed him while another slashed his face, neck, hands, and body with a razor blade. The mayor was taken to Memo- » rial Hospital where attendants ’ said his condition was not serious. I Authorities said Smith s office t was torn up and furniture over- ■ turned, indicating there was a furidGs struggle. t Three men were picked up by I police shortly after the attack, but i they were released after question- ’ in pollce Chief Warren Melick said attackers r emo ved money from Smith’s billfold and rifled | his office cash box. But Melick said he was unable to find a real motive for the attack i “We’re up against a blank wall,’ he stated.
