A GIANT KC-97 t ::r weighing 111,000 pounds makes a real cool takeoff from a sheet of sea Ice 49 Inches thick n r Ti;ule, Greenland. It’s part of an experiment conducted by the Air Research and Develoj < 1 to te f hility of using ice sheets in coastal Polar areas. This one, 11,0! o f, t lur;., was prepared by four men in two days with nothing but pickaxes for tools and inner tubes for markers. (International 8oundvhoto)

HERE’S OUR HURRICANE GUARD
HERE ARE the three areas being patrolled by U. S. forces to get advance warning of hurricanes. The Air Force operates out of Kindley Air Force Base on Bermuda. All warnings go to the Joint Hurricane Warning center In Miami, Fla., where USAF, Navy and Weather bureau experts evaluate and act upon them. When a hurricane is reported, the Miami center goes on a 24-hour watch, keeps sending Information. Season dates from June 1,
4«ja&WASHINGT0H MARCH OF EVENTS ■= < w * U. S. May Call a Halt. 1* Ban Could Bring on End To Tests of A^-H Weapons j To Nuclear Armt.fta^o Special to Central Press Association n*-*** 1 ^**^ *x r rASIIL^GTON—There are reports in Washington that the W United States may call at least a temporary halt to testing of atomic-hydrogen weapons after the current series of tests in Nevada ends. Insiders say that President Eisenhower and his advisers are giving serious consideration to temporarily banning future tests in an effort to halt the nuclear arms race. I The reasoning is that world opinion has been stirred up against such tests because of the danger of radioactivity fallout and this is being exploited by the Communists as propaganda against the United States. It is felt that if the United States stops the testing, the Russians may have to follow suit and call off their nuclear explosions because their own propaganda would be turned against them. Of course, the United States isn’t going to baa all future tests unless some foolproof agreement can be reached with the Soviet Union. ( However, the American government wiD go slow on future tests and see if the Soviets are willing to do likewise. In any event, we won't sit by and watch the Russians forge ahead in thd l Pre*ident super-weapons field. ^ •.«***'• Eijenhower * * • • • PASSPORT COURT TEST—More than the Fourth Estate will be watching to see what happens if the State department’s authority to control foreign travel of Americans is tested in the courts. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has said he would welcome a Supreme Court ruling to decide the issue, raised when permission to travel in Red China was denied to American correspondents. Three correspondents defied the ban and entered Red China. On® of them, William Worthy of the Baltimore Afro-American, had his passport temporarily suspended and is appealing for its recovery. 4 Dulles maintains—among a flurry of other arguments—that because the United States has no embassy in Communist China, there would be no way to provide traditional protection to American correspondents there. Passports are, in effect, a request to a foreign government to treat a traveler justly—an unenforceable request without diplomatic re-
lations.
Dulles also argues that “freedom of the press” does not mean freedom to collect news. Some newspapers have pointed out that under this reasoning, reporters could be ordered out of every courthouse and city hall in the nation. It is this issue—which hinges on the First Amendment to the Constitution—that the Supreme Court might be asked to resolve. The decision might be an intricate one, because a ruling favorable to newsmen could throw open the door to travel by other citizens in Communist countries. The wording of such a decision, If it comes, will be watched with close interest.

• PR AFT BREAK FOR ATHLETES ?—Washington sources believe that an end is near the Selective Service commission’s practice of inducting professional baseball players, college and professional football players and other professional or amateur athletes just before,
or during, the season of play.
The reason they give is a little-noticed change in the military
manpower rules requiring only six months of basic training—instead of two years, as previously—and five and one-half years in Army or National Guard
units for men 181-2 to 25.
Under such regulations these professional, college and amateur athletes who are draftable may take
their six months’ active training as well as their reserve training during the off season so as not to interfere with their playing while
they are in their prime.
In the past many athletes—including professional baseball players.

The Weather fherc Was A Change - It Rained Again The theme song now should be —“There is going to be a change in the weather.” However, spring is the time for rain. And with ihc usual uncertain weather conditions it is a good idea to makt the first cutting of alfalfa into silage. Grass silage needs a pre servative if it is ensiled withou wilting. The silage preservative:; ire as follows: Molasses 60-81 bs. per ton of green forage, 150 200 lbs. corn and cob meal pe; ton of silage, or 6-8 lbs. sodium metabisulfite per ton of silage. It should be remembered that il he forage won’t make good hay .t won’t make good silage. Tin recommended stage of cutting is early bud stage for maximum nutritional value. The temperaturt in the ensiling process should b« kept below 100° F. Coarse chopping and not enough packing avor the development of high emperatures. A score card has been developed to measure the quality of legume silage. Low quality silageaccounts for much of the poor results from grass silage. Surprisingly enough if livestock don’t like silage they just don’t eat as much. It has been found that the consumption of silage varies considerably according to its
;uality.
These late sown oats can be profitably made into silage also. The silage yield should be about 5-8 tons per acre. Oats are hard to pack and are lower in digestable nutrients if allowed to go beyond the late milk stage. Look at the dairy cow for the importance of cutting forages earlier. Alfalfa cut at the prebloom stage produces approximately 60 per cent more milk per acre than if it isn’t cut until the full bloom stage. Bromegrass should be grazed lightly during early May to protect the young growing region close to the ground. If this growing region is protected, a lush heavy growth will be ready for pasture, hay or silage in late May or early June. This growth should be harvested before the seed heads ripen to avoid delaying maturity of the second crop. A good pasture and hay management needs more emphasis in order to get maximum production. One of the first places (.0 start is in the elimination of th shotgun mixture. It is impossible to harvest all grasses and legumes at once and still get maximum production from cadi j grass or legume. Of course, beI fore the shotgun mixture can be eliminated the fertility level must be raised to a highly fertile level or fertilizer must be applied | liberally. j Before the bluegrass goes to seed ewes should be placed on a legume-grass mixture. Lamb I gain exactly in proportion to the I milk they receive from their j mothers. Lambs often gain 2 d of a pound to 1 pound per day while nursing their mothers on early spring pasture. Placing j ewes on a lush pasture will prolong the milk flow for 45-60 adI ditonal days. For the highest j prices lambs should weigh 80-iiXt ; lbs. by July 1. Beef cow's bred in April and | May will calve in January an ! ! February. Now is a good time to ! get a better bull. A good bell represents one half of the be^f herd. A poor bull represents more than most cattlemen like to admit. A prime 1100 lb. steer in Chicago will bring about $300.00 Surely a good bull is worth morthan a primfe steer. Bulls should be bought according to quality not age and weight. Better bulls and earlier breeding will increase profits from the cow herd. Despite the adverse sprim weather conditions, nearly as
college and professional football players were inducted for two
years’ service right before or during the season. The change, which many cattle feeders as usual at was announced recently, was made during the Army-National Guard tended the annual cattle fee v controversy but was lost sight of as a result in the battle 9V$r dav at Purdue on April 26. Bui
the training of 17 to IS’*-year-olds, y
letins are available for those who
were unable to attend. Some highlights were—economy of implanting stilbestrol — feeding corn stalk silage use of salt in self feeding- Dynafac and Torula yeast and high moisture corn —and mixed supplements vs. bean meal. This may be an especially good year for market egg producers to get full service from their nens through the use of a sumner laying shelter. Yearling ions of superior breeding can be kept in production through the icriod of anticipated good egg irices this fall if satisfactory lousing is available. Even hough the old hens are capable of 3-6 months additional produclon often they are sold to make room for the new' pullets. The old lens should be moved into the emporary shelter not later than he first of June while they still mve the urge to lay. If they are noved later they are likely to he hrown into a molt. Rations for he hens should be supplemented vith pellets, condensed milk or »ther encouragements to lay more during the summer. Lights ihould be turned on in September. By planning properly it may be possible to have twm flocks in production during the months of highest egg prices. Eggs may need gathering 3-4 imes p^r day this summer. After he eggs are gathered they ihould be taken immediately to a rool moist room or basement where the temperature is below 60 . The back porch may be cool enough but it is seldom moist enough for good egg holding. Most Indiana farmers will not find it profitable to raise hogs under a monthly farrowing schedule. Savings in cost become less with each additional time the hog raising equipment s used. Average sale price of mgs farrowed each month is ow'er than for hogs farrowed December through February and fune through August. More laoor will be required during the ropping season. Management equirements are increased. The jeonomists point out that more md more hog farmers are specalizing in order to gain labor eficicncy and cut production costs. \s a consequence, hog enterprises become larger and require capital investments in specialized mildings and equipment. The two-litter system will utilze labor and management in months which they are not rejuired by the cropping system. Gross returns will generally be ligh for hogs marketed from this jystem. Management is less omplieated this system fits on farms which have relatively ;mall hog enterprises. A multiple farrowing system with more than one group of sows farrowing in the periods December to March and June to "September will utilize labor and management in seasons not required by the cropping season, reduce costs somewhat and still not cut gross returns significant'y. Increased management is required and sufficient volume is necessary to maintain 20 to 30 sows per f<11 rowing period. Such a system will fit farms on which above average management is available and maximum utilization of off-season labor is desired. Continuous farrowing will util ze a year-around supply of labor and management and will decrease costs, but gross returns-, per sow are decreased. Under situations where crops require seasonal labor, monthly farrowing may become- competitive with the cropping system. Excellent management is necessary Monthly farrowing will allow maximum production in situations where management is “top notch” and there is a large amount of labor relative to land Soil temperature has an important effect on corn planting A clay soil should be 60 F. threi inches below the surface in thearly forenoon, loam soils 58 " F and sandy soils 56' F. before it i.

Sweet clover is still the cheapj est soil builder. Many seeding failures are due to the sweet clover weevil. Dieldrin or DDT can be put on as a spray or granular treatment to control this pest. Soil fertility is built up by both row and plow down fertilizer applications, but it takes the starter fertilizer in the row to speed up the corn plants growth from germanination to the knee high stage. The seedling stage is important because it contains partial development of all the leaves, root system, buds, nodes and tassels the corn plant will ever have.
