18:30.
This generation has witnessed
the transfer Of thousands of
peace-loving people from their
homes into Siberia and other
Parts of Russia, It, is not a new
thing. Nebuchadnezzar, the king
of the Chaldeans took Jehoialdro
the king' of Judah and carried
him away captive. "Surely at the
commandment of the LOrd came
this upon Judah, to remove them
out of his sight." During the
three months reign of his son,
jehoiachin, Nebuchadnezzer laid
seige to Jerusalem. Jehoiachin,
with his mother, servants and
princes went out of the city and

was called to be a prophet. God
sent him to his own people in.
captivity, "independent children
and stiff-hearted." It was a bold
message which he must deliver.
"Repent, and turn yourselves
from all your transgressions; so
iniquity shall not be yOur ruin."
It differs from much of the pop-
ular religion today. Ezekiel, said,
'"Cast away from you all your•
transgressions, whereby ye have
transgressed; and make you a
new heart and a new spirit: for
why will ye die, 0 house of Is-
rael? FOr I have no pleasure• in
the death of him that dieth, saith
the Lord God: wherefore turn
yourselves, and live ye." Ezekierst
message is still timely. Gaining
confidence in yourself is not suf-
ficient. We must turn from our
sins to God or sin will be our
ruin. People prefer to keep their
pet sins and yet have• a sense
of assurance that all is well'..be-
tween them and God. This is a
false security. God abhors sin.
We must abhor it, too. Only then
will we find refuge in God.

Every spy story provides Its
judged by the humdrum stand-
ards of daily life, Is strange and
own lesson. Every spy story,
sometimes aim OP t unrealistic.
But there can be few stranger
than the tale of incredible pa-
tience told by Kurt Singer in
his new book "`More Spy Stories."
In the 1920'ds, although it was
not publicly apparent, there
were Germans behind the scenes
who were already making quiet
preliminary moves t ow ar
what became World War IL
Thus, as early as 1923, Alfred.
Wehring was sent from Germany
as her first naval spy since the
1918 armistice. He Was a distin
guished though young naval offi-
cer. But his career was abau-
cloned, and he was found a job,
by German Naval Intelligence,
as a salesman for. ,a firm of Ger-
man watchmakers.
Later he joined a firm in
Switzerland to learn the trade
of watchmaking: When he was
profielent he emigrated to Bri-
tain:This was some time in 1927.
He' us ed the name of Albert
Ortel,, and made himself out to
be Swiss.
Settling in Kirkwall, near the
naval base at Scapa Flow, he
first worked for several jewel-
lers and finally opened his own
gift and watch shop, much visit-
ed lay naval personnel.
When war was declared, Ortel
was the first to hang Out the
Union Jack. But in the small
cupboard in the b a c k of his
shop was a radio transmitter
that he had been waiting for
twelve years to use on behalf
of his Fatherland.
How Ortel knew that the
Scapa Flow anti-submarine de-
fences were penetrable by lt-
boats no one can now tell. But
he did somehow find out and
radioed to Germany accordingly.
' Thus on October 14th, 1939, the
submarine U-47 crept into, Scapa

mander sent ashore a rubber
dinghy and picked up Ortel, who
could now revert to -his name
of Albert Wehring.
The. U-boat then torpedoed
"Royal Oak," whieh sank with
a great loss of life. U-47 made
her escape without incident.
According' to Kurt Singer,
Wehring was never employed
subsequently as a spy. In retro-
spect, one can only wonder, then,
why he Was taken back to Ger-
many: He had been above sus,-
pidiOn where he was. He could
probably. have' Continued his
work," But Perhaps, with the
destruction of "Royal Oak," the
Mission assigned to him had
been fulfilled..

Cattle use' tip an enormous
amount of energy fighting horn,
flies which nib them of sizable
quantities of blood each year.
This loss of energy and blood
represents a great waste of for-
age and, feed. An animal bother-
ed by the parsites may lose as
much as half a pound in weight
a day, and milk flow may be
reduced. as much as 20 per cent, 4'
The horn fly resbmbles the
house fly, but is only about half
as large, The female lays its
eggs on fresh cattle manure, and
in warm weather the eggs hatch
into maggots in less than a day.
4'' *
The maggot feeds for five days,
then rests as a pupa for about
a week before emerging as an
adult ready to lay eggs in two
days. Thus, the complete life
cycle from egg to egg takes only
two weeks. At this Fhte, there
would be' 12 generations in six
months, from spring until fall,,
but fortunately, there is usually
a decrease in numbers during
hot, dry weather.
*
Horn flies are primarily a pest
of cattle, and spend most of their
lives upon their unwilling hosts.
They feed by piercing the cattle's
skin and withdrawing blood.
They usually attack the part of
the animal's back that cannot be
disturbed by a swing of the tail
or head. The flies 'are. sensitive
to changes in weather. To avoid
hot sun or rain, they may con-
gregate on the under side of the
animal, but when the air is cool
'they frequently infest the base
Hof the horn hence, the name
''horn flies,"
A quick and easy method- of
controlling horn flies on dairy
cattle, according to agricultural
chemists, is to sprinkle a table-
spoon of 50 per cent methoxy-
chlor insecticide along the back
of the cow and then spread it
around and rub into the hair
with a few sweeps of the hand.
It should be distributed evenly
over back, neck and, upper sides.
Two to three weeks' control has
been reported with this treat-,
ment. Four pounds of the insec-
ticide applied at two-week inter-
vals is said to be enough to con-
trol flies on up to 20 milk cows
for ,0 weeks. * *
Our innate urge to "save"
things is both a bane and a bless-
ing. It can manifest far-sighted
thrift or the squirrel-like accum-
• ulation of odds and ends.
Preserving something for fu-
ture use is the usual motive for
saving, and, on the face of it,
nothing could be more commend-
able: Discarding things that can
be of further use is wasteful.
The problem lies in deciding
what has further usefulness,
states a writer in "Farm Pro-gress,"
* *
It's usually easy to evaluate
material goods. But what of our
accumulation of intangibles —
the ideas, beliefs and prejudices
which are often factors for or'
against progress? How many of
these should be "preserved for
future use" and how many should
be discarded as having outlived
their usefulness, if, indeed, some
ever had any value anyway? * G *
The livestock industry, as agri-
culture in general, is at a point
where a re-evaluation of meth-
ods and objectives is no longer
optional but necessary. Many
outmoded ideas and beliefs are
in, the way of the acceptance of
changes which have .already
proved practical and economical-
ly sound.
To cite but -one example: Much
.of the effort and cost of provid-
ing the modern winter housing
quarters• for a dairy herd is ap-
parently "loves labor lost." The
shed loafing barn, with its ac-
cumulation of 'droppings well
diluted with suitable bedding,
offers a. warm bed and. a cool
house which, given free choice,
cattle prefer to the warm "clean"
barn. The saving in labor is
striking. Housing is simpler and
cheaper, and the milk drawn
from "shed" cows in a small
milking parlor will likely show
a lower bacterial count than that
from their barn-stanchioned 51s-
* ters. * *
Introduction of neve methOds
may, in many eases, be-slow be-
. cause of 'inadequate educational
extension programs. But it can-
not be denied -that resistance to
change is also a factor, and 'one
which often seems to be stronger,
in agriculture than in industry,
perhaps because of the larger
number of individual "entre-
preneurs" in the former.
•
Redardless of causes, the les-
son is clear. The periodic "stock
taking" of industry with its ac-
companying re-evaluation of as-
set's could well, be more, often
imitated by the farmer. Worn-
out ideas and beliefs should be
quickly'"written off" as are any
other worthless goods. Saving
them may be more 'of a liability
than the business will stand.

Out for special attenion in new
efforts by the British Govern-
ment to reduce road accidents.

COmMOns July 4, is intended as
an all-around effort to get tough
With road offenders. With 6,250,-
000 vehicles on its gravely in-
adequate road system, Britain
has one of the worst traffic
`problems in the world..
In 1954 there were 238,281
casualties on British roads, in-
cluding 5,010 killed and 57,201
seriously injured, May, 1955,
was the worst-ever month for
road casualties.
Public opinion is increasingly
impatient with what it regards
as governmental failure to take
drastic action. An £85,000,000
($238,000,000) road extension
program was announced here
July 5. But the opinion of the
Labor opposition in the Com-
mons and of a large part of the`
nation as a whole is that ex-
isting plans are completely in
Furthermore, existing British
laws are .condemned ter being
antiquated and unhelpful in
countering the road casualty
problem. It is at this shortcom-
ing in the 'law that the new
road traffic bill is aimed.
For one thing, the law on
drunken drivers Is to be
changed. Hitherto, magistrates
and juries have been confused
in their ruling. It seemed that
the law failed to distinguish be-
tween a driver who drove when
drunk and a driver who recog-
nized his inability to drive and
took a snooze by the roadside
or even parked his car and went
home to bed.
In this repect the law out-
raged public opinion. There was
confusion among the police, the
medical professions, and the
courts. The new bill aims to
iron out the anomalies and deal'
more severely with drunken
driving throUgh fines up to $300,
disqualification, and prison sen-
tences.
The charge of being drunk in
charge of a car will be less
severe in the hope that motor-
ists will be encouraged to desist
from driving if they think they
are under the' influence of al-
cohol.
In the course of the Com-
mons debate on the new road
traffic bill, a former Laborite
Home Secretary, Chuter Ede,
made an urgent plea to the
medical profession to show more
responsibility in its court evi-
dence on drunken drivers. Mr.
Ede, a respected veteran mem-
ber of the Commons, spoke
from personal experience as a
magistrate when he said that
doctors often confused jurymen
with their evidence. •
1.41 i Leniency Charged
Mr. Ede cited a doctor who
declared in court that 4he term
"drunk" was a colloquial term
and he didn't know what it
meant. Mr. Ede said it should be
quite clear to a doctor when
a driver was sufficiently drunk
to be incapable of driving with-
out due care.
Mr. Ede made the serious al-
legation that some doctors were
inclined to be too lenient with
middle-class drivers. In other
words, what he appeared to
mean was that there was a ten-
dency to shield people who were
thought to get drunk in a tra-
ditional gentlemanly way.
Mr. Ede's high standing is ex-
pected to give considerable
weight to this denunciation of
some doctors for being soft with
drunken drivers. Mr. Ede said
he did not think there should
be leniency for dangerous driv-
ing when 600 children were be-
ing killed on roads every year.
