You'll probably be hearing
more about New Zealand White
• Clover, a pasture legume from
"Down Under."
In Clarkarnas County, Ore.,
where it was brought in as re-
cently as 1949, dairymen like it
because they say that it doesn't
bloat nearly as much as ladino
clover. It stands more dry
weather, too.
a: * ,
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.
* * 4
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."
* * *
.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.
* * x,
He keeps the grass "ahead" of
the clover by adding at least
100 pounds of actual nitrogen a
year.
* * *
Although New Zealand White
clover hose been grown in
Clarkarnas 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 last time he won the
contest.
1tolandes Liechty, 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.
* . ,µ *
If copied, his 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.
* * *
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
does"n't a 11 o w anything for
Liechty's work, But nearly $6,-
000 profit is still a good salary
for a herd of 15.
USDA figures show that you
have to have cows that produce
at 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.
* * *
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.
* * *
That way, he gets enough pas-
;'ture, and hay, for his cows from
hall as zriuich land as 1&d' used, td—
have
O—have in bluegrass. And he
sticks some of the first cutting
into the silo. • •
* *
Liechty divides his pasture
fields into six -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.
* * *
He 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 milk flow starts, he
says,
* * *
Liechty feeds a 15 per cent
protein grain ration at the rate
of a pound for each four pounds
of milk.
* *• *
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

More Sense in New Teen -Age Fads
By EDNA, MILES
Teen-agers and fads go togeth-
er like cheese and crackers.
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 and usually are worn
belted in. Occasionally, there's
even a touch of eolor 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
Bottler 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 man, 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
fiiuslied - W:orkeeSheeire 1 • steppes
at a drug -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
men 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 of 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 h a d

in their possession,

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

• America's complex criminal
law. Appeal after appeal was
heard, and each time sentence
of death was confirmed.
At last, in December of 1952,
every device of the defence had
been, exhausted. The execution

Q. How does one properly re-
inove the bones from a fish at
the dinner table?
A. Lift the end of the bone
with a fork, and then pinching
it between the fork and the
knife, lift it all the way out
In some stubborn cases you
may have to use the fingers,
and this is quite all right if you
do now allow the fingers to
touch fish.

to pay the taxi fare?
A.. Most certainly he is! He
should inquire of the driver the
approximate amount the fare
will be, then pay him, adding
enough for a tip.

Why • are there so •many un-
happy homes? Why are so
many marriages breaking on
the cruel rocks of divorce?
The trouble starts in cited -
hood: The foolish notion that
from infancy he must have his
own way leads to his being
spoiled, He forsakes the com-
mand of his father and the law
of his mother. He knows not
how to honour his parents for
they have not dealt with him as
parents should. The present day
situation is illustrated by an
incident of a mother with her
child in a store, He wanted to
ride the horse so he climbed on
and she put in the dime, When
she had finished her shopping
she came for her son but he re-
fused to get off the horse. Soon
her dimes were all gone and
she went to the manager in des-
peration. He called for his psy-
chologist. He whispered in the
boy's ear and he meekly des-
cended and went with his moth-
er. Outside the mother asked,
"What did the man say to you?"
The boy replied, "The man said,
'You get off that horse this in-
stant or I will give you the
soundest threshing you ever got
in your life'."
When such a child becomes
an adult he finds it difficult to
adjust to the give and take of
married life. Selfishness kills
love. • Contention arises and
home becomes a hell instead of
heaven. In such a situation one
may become unfaithful a n rl
turn to another 'oven This only
adds to the unhappiness of all
concerned. The great need is
for parents and children to con-
fess their sins and turn to Jesut
Christ as Lord and Saviour. The

don of the person across whom
you are reaching.
Q. Would it be all right for
me to give a shower for my
fiancee? She is a stranger la
town, and none of our friends
or relatives have met her yet
A. Not a shower. Guests
should never be asked to ,brind
gifts to one who is.astranger t
them. On the other hand, la
would be very nice for you ter
give a party (not a shower) ire
her honor, for the purpose et
introducing her to your rely
tives and friends.
Q. If a guest is late to din*
nor, and meal is already pro.
gressing, isit necessary that the
men rise to greet this guest?
A. No. The host and hostess
should rise, but it is less con-
fusing for the other guests t
remain seated,
