HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1950-05-11, Page 2Important Catch—Anton Nilsson, captain of a Swedish fishing boat, points to the hole in an airplane wheel his vessel picked up in the Baltic Sea. Naval authorities say the wheel could have come from the unarmed Navy plane that disappeared over the, Baltic after an attack by Soviet fighters. Nilsson and the wheel are now in Stockholm, Sweden. TIIE FA1M FR1.M' Mast i,hlks who raise beef cattle know that they can make more beef on a Mixture of legume and grass than is possible on straight grass. But they also know that its a tough job to keep a good legume -grass mixture going for more than two or three years. That's because the grass has a tendency- to crowd out 71,, 'egumes. * * * Nine years of testing at the Il- linois Experimental Farm showed the following results: They got 342 pounds of gain per acre the first year of a legume -smooth brome pasture. The following year, they got 1213 pounds LESS gain, as the smooth brome had taken over 80 to 85 per cent, of the pasture. And at the same time, the gains on a legume- orchard grass mixture DROPPED front 245 pounds to 169. •* * The Illinois folks are still working on the perfect answer to this prob- lem. But, up to now, they have found that what works best for them is called the Haas mixture. This is a mixture of two bushels of oats. with .2 lbs. of red clover, sweet clover, alsike clover, timothy and rape per acre. Steers gained as much as 298 pounds per acre on first-year Haas mixture, and UP TO 416 POUNDS THE SECOND YEAR! Sounds interesting, to say the least! * * * A lot of the news you see regard- ing farming these days seems to echo the tone of what you -read on the front and editorial pages. While those whose task it is to peer into the future aren't predicting disaster today. or even tomorrow, still their outlook is rather gloomy. So, for a change, this success story—as re- ported in The Farm iournal (Phil- adell_'hia9—might be welcome. It tens of how a man. over in Indiana, was almost wiped out back in 1940, but managed to build his income from S"']ra to $17.0010 in less than a decade. What's more, it was cows that pulled hint throngli. * * 5 Ten y ears ago. -'tinge weren't going any too smoothly' for Russel Magnin: in fact, he freely admits he was jest about down to his last nickel. - The general situation was not any too good. and a had attack of Panes disease at -.Ii mastitis had just siesat Wiped ' his dairy Herd. ✓ x * Bet this farmer anti his *.rife weren't •l .' easy'guittirg type.

Well, those dairy cattle, for one thing; they ate up the roughage it took to put through Mangos' land improvement program. * * * When he went on the farm, grass would hardly grow 'on half of the place. So, little by little, he lined; fertilized; tested his soil; re -limed; re -fertilized: changed his fences; sunk some deep-rooted legumes into his tired, hard -to -work soil; and planted several acres of evergreens on some washed-out slopes—and added some grass waterways. * * * Back in 1940, Mangus had to buy hay; 20 acres of meadow on the back of the farm yielded exactly seven tons of timothy. Now he gets an easy average of three tons of alfalfa -clover to the acre. * * * Just in case you're wondering what happened to the disease trou- bles, don't sell Mangus short; he learned his lesson. Now his tterd gets a Bang's test and a T.B. test every six months or so. He keeps his cows healthy, And those healthy cows gave him a net profit last year —above feed costs—of $370,10 apiece. * * * Today, after 10 years, Mangus has his farm practically paid for. He could have paid for it by now, but he has improved, remodeled and modernized the buildings on the farm. * * * He and his family are living a lite that's a far cry from that $700 beginning back in 1940. Where Did The Wild Pigeon Co? • What happened• to the millions of beautiful passenger pigeons once so common in America and now be- lieved to be extinct? This mystery is referred to by Miss W. L. Puxley in her absorbing book of travel, "Strayed Among Lonely Islands." In the last century, they were so numerous as to constituter plague. She describes: "A vast host of beautiful birds with long tails and bright red bodies, which literally filled the air. "For three days, the birth kept on flying in a column a mile wide. and the' whole column was about 250 miles long when a fresh one appeared. Round and round they wheeled es they swept '1y, with such a rush of millions on of wings that no one could tllsl:e their voices heard unless they shouted, however )tear to tate person adaressed, When they settled to rest, they left the woods in ruins far $') n.iie: and great branches v. -ere broken by their weight, while Many trees were kilied by them. Year after year, this went on, bringing feud to the settlers who dried the meat for the tinter; a iii one year it was noticed that the pigeons were fe .er in num- ber, and the followieg year they were very few," A year or two later, there were none at all and not one spechnen of the species has err been seen since. What was the cause of their dia. appearance? Yotrr guess is as good 25 those of the scientists. SPORT s' A StiXe>,TCis Conning. as we do, a large num- her of trout fishermen among our friends and acquaintances, it has long been our desire to pay clue credit to those intrepid souls. The fearlessness, determination. disre- gard for personal comfort and about seven other deadly virtues displayed by those heroes in pursuit of their dangerous prey is worthy of the highest honors lice weaker mortals can give them, * * But. Up 10 now, the proper words and phrases have utterly tailed to Clow from t ur long-suffering type- writer. Still, everything coitus to him who waits—to coni a phrase— and 'just the other day, we ran across what Wright be called "The Perfect Tribute to Trout Fisher- men." 'lite Inas who paid it is Ito •raw hand. For 50 of his 70 years, he has been guiding hunters and fishermen through a vast a il!lern ess area, and so speaks with authority, And here is what he has to say: * * * "A confirmed trout fisherman is just like an ordinary man in most ways—except that his brains have been beat out." * * * A very ancient adage runs, "To the victor belong the spoils," or some i another of u u such ad it s those old sayings that are true—or false just as the case may be, Biff Bennett. writing in Sport Magazine, recalls an interesting instance of the loser getting all the gravy, rath- er than the winner. * * * In the baseball record books you will find emblazoned the name of Bobby Feller who, on an afternoon hack in 1938, struck out exactly 18 Detroit Tigers in a nine -inning game. Unless this mark has been bettered between the time these lines are written and when they appear in print—which is unlikely, considering the trouble pitchers are having with the new rules—that record still stands. It was one of the greatest hurling feats in baseball history, beyond a doubt. * * * But, although most baseball fans have heard of Rapid Robert's won- derful work that afternoon, how many of you remember even the name of a guy named Harry Eisen - stat. Not so very many, we'd be willing to bet. Yet the afternoon when Feller, pitching for. Cleveland, whiffed that record-breaking dozen and a half of the Tigers, on the mound for Detroit was Mr. Eisen - stat. WHAT IS MORE, DE- TROIT \VON THAT BALL GAME BY A SCORE OF 4 to 1. "To the victors," etc. Phooey! • 5 * * Still, there are plenty of-torgotten men in sport. Danny Gardelta, for another example, It isn't so long since Danny's name was appearing in big type on every sports page from coast to coast—for Danny was the man who had the audacity to sue organized baseball for the sunt of $300,000. o * * ,lir. Gardella claimed that organ- ized ball had deprived hint of his right to make a living in the major leagues, -just because he had done some playing "south of the border, down lfehico way." Nobody knows for certain just what Danny got out of his suit as it was settled out of court, and Happy Chandler isn't saying. But. for a while, it looked -as if the suit night bust the game wide open and, as Arthur Daley puts it, when the settlement was made. organized baseball took its first deep breath in months. 5 * * Now, Gardella's name has popped up in the news dispatches again, and most of me had to give our memories a couple of sharp jabs to recall just w•ho he was. He made the news this tine—in sma'l type— just because the St. Louis Card- inals, from whom he had been draw- ing wages. had shipped him down to one of their minor league farm- ettes. in Houston: Texas. * * The truth of the matter seems to be that Danny never was i real big leaguer. -When he managed to get a fair clout at the ball, it was liable 1.1 travel quite a piece—hut even that wasn't any too often as. in his hest year with the New -York Giants his batting average avas a con-too- Sen'aticdtal .272.

And, again, "Gardelta made a sensational catch of an easy fly ball." * * * Danny was a practical joker, too, of a somewhat ghoulish kind. Like the time in Cincinnati when he and Napoleon Reyes were roomed on the 23rd floor of their hotel. Reyes had ' just finished shaving and stepped back into the bedroom. It was empty; the door was locked from the inside; the window was wide open; and on the table was a note, reading, "Life is too much for me," * * Trembling and afraid, Reyes tot- tered to the window and peered out, expecting to see the mangled corpse of his teammate lying far below. Instead, there was Danny grinning at him, hanging by his hands from the ledge with nothing between him and the pavement but 23 ,stories of fragile Cincinnati air. * * * But now, Danny the forgotten man, is back in the minors. \Ve wish him well and hope that he manages to get up top again and stick there as he had—if nothing else—plenty of color. But even more than that, we wish that his suit against organised baseball had gone through. It would be Interest- irg to take a look at the inside works of "the world's greatest, etc., etc.," and see just what realist makes it tick. Horse -Keeping Costly Are you keeping an old team around the place for an occasional job. or because of sentiment? If so, it probably costs you a lot more than you realize. In a study of average expense of horse labor, the University of Wyoming has found that it was as much- as $7.77 an hour. where horses were used for little work. The average cost of horse labor was $1.52 an hour, Economists—not taking the horse's or the farmer's feelings into account —sternly advise disposing of the draft animals. The pasture and feed released for beef or dairy cattle will bring better returns. Coating into the kitchen from shopping, she could smell burning.
