It stands more dry weather, too, * 4 « Farmers say that New Zealand White clover causes less bloat because it grows lower,, does not "top the grass" when used in a mixture. The result is that with each mouthful,' an animal gets more grass in proportion to the clover. * « 'b Jersey dairyman Harry Lane, Who has both ladino and New Zealand White clover on his place says: "With my cattle on the ladino, I have to stand guard, When they're on New Zealand White, I can get In the car and go to town." 4 Lane says that his New Zea- land clover will also stand more' trampling and closer grazing than ladino, • He thinks• that the key to bloat control lies in getting a good stand of grass. With his New Zealand White clover (two pounds per acre), he seeds 15 pounds of alta fescue, figuring on a pasture that will contain no more than 40 per cent le- gume. * « w Ile keeps the grass "ahead" of the clover by adding at least 100 pounds of actual nitrogen a year. Although New Zealand White clover hase been grown in Clarkamas County only five. years, one dealer -Buchanan- Cellers Company, Canby, Ore, - says that it now out -sells their ladino clover nine to one. HUSKING CHAMP - John Gib- son displays his corn -husking form after winning the hand picking contest at the St. Joseph jamboree. He hasn't had a shucking hook in his hand since 1944, the lost time he won the contest. Rolandes L i e c h t y, Adams County, Ind„ has a good answer' to the present dairy problem: he keeps 15 good cows instead of 30 average Ones. He has a point there -15 good cows eat only a little more than half as much as the 30 average one would eat, Chore time is cut almost in half, and the .prof- it per cow is much higher, If copied, bis plan could whack off a big chunk of the present surplus production, and still make more money •in the long run for dairymen -even if some sold half of their entire herd, It's the low producers that eat up the profits, * 4 * Liechty's cows are making money - $394 per head last year above feed costs. H i s records show that the herd av- eraged 13,819 pounds -of milk and 556 pounds of butterfat last year. The herd has been tops in the county for three years with averages of more than 13,- 000 of milk and 500 pounds of fat. Those cows make money every year. * « * Multiply $394 by 15, and you get $5,910, Of course that doesn't a 11 o w anything for Lieohty's work. But nearly $6,- 000 profit is still a good salary for a herd of 15. * 4 r USDA figures show that you have to have cows that produce et least 5,000 pounds of milk per lactation to break' even, with present feed costs. So, 30 5,000 -pound cows wouldn't hold a .candle to Liechty's 15 top pro- ducing cows. * * 4 , Liechty has a few more def- inite ideas about running a money -making farm: he aims to have plenty of good, improved hay and pasture with a mix- ture of ladino, alfalfa and brome. And he fertilizes at the rate of 500 pounds per acre ear- ly each spring, a * * 4 That way, he gets enough pas- ture and hay for his cows from half as much land as he used to have in bluegrass. And he sticks some of the first cutting into the silo. « « 4, • Liechty divides his pasture fields into she -acre plots, grazes each plot about two weeks, then cuts the stubble to encourage rapid regrowth. Even in the heat and drouth of last summer he had lush pasture most of the time. * 4, 4 Ile treats each cow as an im- portant individual, studies her. He keeps her in good flesh when she's dry, That gives the cows a reserve to call on after the heavy mills flow starts, he says. * n * • Liechty feeds a 15 per cent protein grain ration at the rate of a pound for each four pounds of milk, a 4 He developed his herd from two, foundation cows his father bought years ago. They were good producers. He uses his own herd sire plus some arti- ficial breeding. And he keeps only top producers on his pay- roll -regardless Of what kind of breeding they come from , CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 0 , Insect 1. Largest eon- 6 . Row Mont DOWN 6. Chart .

Latest fads, however, have been a turn for the better and not, as in years past, for the worst. Shirts and sweaters, for in- stance, have a tendency to fit these days find usually are worn belted in. Occasionally, there's even a touch of color added in a small scarf. Newest addition to teen fads are shoes that mix-up three or four crazy .colors and come with eyelets, stitching and trim in different colors as well. They're worn with ankle socks, of course, and are meant for after-school leisure hours. Made on a scientific foot -con- forming last, they have a shock- proof arch cushion, cushioned in- sole and 'fabric uppers that "breathe," Uppers are, of course, wash- able and should have frequent sudsings to keep the bright col- ors clear and fresh. One color in the shoes may be used to echo scarf or blouse, or the •shoes may be worn as gay color con- trast to dark, blue jeans and sweater. These teen-agers display foot- wear which mix several gay colors, like a patchwork quilt. Even eyelets, stitching and trim are in bright colors. They have fabric uppers and are washable, Overlooked Beer Bottle Convicted Two. There was a scream and struggle beside the car. Two m e n were trying to force a woman into the Back seat. She screamed again. Faces appear- ed at nearby windows. "Let her alone, you beasts!" shouted a passerby. Then somebody 'phon- ed for the police, One of the men hit the wom- an hard on the chin while the other pulled her into the car, "She's my wife," shouted the first map, defiantly, as the car drove off. Unnoticed, a beer bottle had slipped out of the car into the road and rolled to the gutter. That scene, disturbing and un- pleasant to onlookers, had taken place late on the evening of Sunday, March 19th, 1950. Earlier, Jo -Ann Dewey, eigh- teen -year-old, slim and pretty nurse at the Sanatorium, Port- land, Oregon, U.S.A., had just finished work. She had supper at a clrug-store and.:paid a visit to the. movies. It was about 11 o'clock that night when the bus put her down at Battleground, a suburb of Vancouver, Wash- ington, a few miles away from where she lived. Jo -Ann's home was some dis- tance from the bus stop and she didn't like the lonely journey. She rang up a friend and asked him to pick her up in his car - but the car had broken down. She telephoned her mother, who suggested she should stay at St. Joseph's Hospital nearby. A nurse there was a friend of the _family. Jo -Ann had started' to walk to the hospital when, from a car parked by the roadside, two nen got out. Within sixty seconds of the call a police patrol car was on the spot, The officers learned from residents what had hap- pened and cruised round the streets without seeing any trace of a car. Then they searched the area where the struggle had taken place, They found a bro- ken handbag strap, a hair -slide -and a beer bottle, not quite empty. When Jo -Anne Dewey did not come home the next morning, her mother went to the police. She was shown the strap and the hair -slide. Both, she said, belonged to her daughter. It was exactly a week later that two fishermen were cast- ing in the icy water of the Wind River, which flows from the mountains into the Columbia River in the south-east o1 the Washington State. One of them saw something white lying on a sandbank. They went to inves- tigate and found the unclothed body of a young woman. It was Jo -Ann Dewey. The body was examined by a leading pathologist. He was able to determine that she had been dead a week. The cause of death was carbon -monoxide poison- ing, probably from the exhaust Of a car. Meanwhile, the police -ha d not neglected the slender clues ' in their possession. Only the beer bottle could help them, for that yielded a set of fingerprints, By methods well known to police experts ell Oyer the world, the finger - RAnte were "lifted" and sent to BI, headquarters at Washing- ton. Quickly the F,B,I, report oame back, "These prints were made by Utah Wilson, aged twenty - PRETTY FOXY -Freddy, the Fox, makes friends first with Rex, who is owned by Boradley, before introducing himself to Kitty, at left, in his new home at the Balboa Park Stables. The oddly assorted trio haven't been told they're supposed to be enemies, and even -the horses haven't said- "neigh" to their unusual stablemates. two, now on probation alter a conviction for burglary." Utah Wilson lived near the spot where Jo -Ann had been abducted: when the police call- ed at his home he was missing. So was his brother, Turman, aged twenty-six, and also known to the police. F.B.I. and police started a nation-wide search for the Wil- son brothers. They were even- tually found at Sacramento, California, some 400 miles away. Charged with murder, the two men were brought back to Washington State for trial. They were sentenced to death. The matter did not rest there. Strange forces were at work, and money and influence were found to invoke every possible delay in the procedure of America's complex criminal law. Appeal after appeal wee heard, and each time sentence of death was cOnf!rmed, At last, in December of 1952, every device of the defence had been exhausted. The execution (it is by hanging in Washing- ton State) was fixed for mid- night on January 2nd, 1953. The governor of the state, who has the legal power to grant a reprieve, was approach- ed. Impressed by the secret influences which were support- ing the Wilsons' appeal, 'he formed a committee of promi- nent lawyers to advise him. Presiding over the committee was Erle Stanley Gardner, dis- tinguished jurist and author. The governor declined to .interfere with the course of justice. Legal means having failed, there was a lest -minute attempt to delay the execution, A faked telegram ordering stay of Sen- tence was delivered at the prison at seventeen .minutes past midnight on 'January 2nd. The telegram purported to quote instruction from the US. Senate. It came too late: Turman had died at 12.09 a.m., and his brother Utah at 12.13 a.m. At F.B.I. headquarters an- other 91e' was closed -closed by a beer bottle, Praise mending tape t0 the under side of the fabric you use when making "cover -your -own" butt ons and buckles.

And if you have a room that has ample light, a succes- sion of tulips, daffodils and nar- cissi can bring spring to your home all the dreary winter long, G. R. Snyder, horticulturist department, has some sugges- tions for successful bulb cul- ture. First, he says, buy quality bulbs, The Roman or Christmas Hyacinth produces the earliest bloom. Containers can be earthenware flower pots or fancy bowls or jardiniers fulled with pebbles. But if you want to grow your winter garden in sail, you must use pats with holes for drainage. And It is always a good idea to enrich the soil with a fertilizer to en- courage the most gorgeous. blossoms, Put a layer of gravel or pieces of broken pots in the bottom of your flower pot, then partly fill It with soil. Set the bulbs in place so the tips will show slightly when the pot is filled, Watering comes next - lots of water to soak the earth thoroughly. And now a bit of patience will come In handy. The bulbs must be placed in a dark and cold cellar, shed or oupbOard to allow them to grow roots, The temperature should be under 65 not be cold enc but must enough tofreeze the tender bulbs. Keep the soil moist. The potted bulbs can also be buried in moist soil in a protected spot, such as along the basement wall, and. brought inside three to four weeks before blooms are desired. Alter about two months, when the young growths are Wel] above the pots, bring them out into the light gradually. The shoots will be yellow ar a very light green and shouldn't be placed in direct sunlight un - they turn dark green, To bring them from the dark too soon is the most common cause Bulbs for indoor beauty are among the easiest . of pinta, even for a housewife who takes no pride in her "green thumb." With little care Or trouble, she can have a succession of flowers from late fa11 to early spring. of failure.

Why are so many marriages breaking onl the cruel rocks of ditOrce? The trouble starts in olilld- hood. The foolish notion that from infancy he must havehis own Way leads 10 his being apoiled.

The present day situation is illustrated by an incident of a mother with her ohlld in a store. He wanted 0Qt ride the horse so he climbed oat and she put in the dime. Whent she had finished her shopping she came for her son but he re- fused to get off the horse. Seoet her dimes were all gone and she went to the manager in dee- peration.
