boat, points to the hole in an airplane wheel his vessel picked up
in the Baltic Sea. 'caval authorities say the wheel could have

Baltic after an attack. by Soviet fighters. Nilsson and the wheel

Most folks who raise beef cattle
know that they can make more beef
on a mixture of Iegume and grass
than is possible on straight grass.
But they also know that it's 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
the legumes.
mine years of testing At the Ii-
11nois Experimental Farm showed
the following results: They got 342
pounds of gain per acre the first
ytar of a legume -smooth brome
pasture, The following year, they
got 126 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 from 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, aisike 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 Journal (Phil-
adelphia) --.might be welcome, It
tells of how a man, over in Indiana,
was almost wiped out back in 1940,
but managed to build his income
from IP700 to $17,000 in less than a
decade. What's more, it was cows
that pulled hirn through.
eK >,t ek
Ten years ago, things weren't
going any too smoothly for Russel
Magnus: in fact, lie freely admits
he was just about down to his last
nickel, The general situation was
not any too good, and a bad attack
of Bang's disease and mastitis had
just about wiped out his dairy herd.
But this farmer and his wife
weren't the easy quitting type, They
were killing to try it again, so they
pulled up stakes, bundled together
their six children, and took off for
1 a farm they had bought about 60
miles away.
It wasn't Much of a farm. You
probably know the sort—old, hilly,
run -down --a fine place to no really
broke ou. But it hadn't cost much
—around $40 an acre --and it was a
place to make a start with two
"'cull" coir; and five heifers they
tool: along.
Aithotigh :Mangus was down for
the count then, , he was far from
"out," as the events of the last 10
year.; prove. Since then, his wheat
yield has jumped from 10 bushels
to 30 bushels per acre; his nat yield
loas clin)berl from 25 bushels to 50
bushels; his corn is up from 25
bushfis to as high as 90 bushels.
And his herd of seven COWS has
grown to 45.
Chose cows are doing mighty well,
t'oo last year, they averaged --on
test 13.311 pounds of milk, and 448
Itnnllds of butterfat.
Manbua' aruas 41coule of $700
that first year has climbed to $17,000
in 1947, and $15,000 in 1948.
How did he do it? Well, those
dairy cattle, for one thing; they ate
UP the roughage it took to put
through Mangus' land improvement
program.
When he went on the farm, grass
would hardly grow on half of the
Place. So, little by little, lie limed;
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 sonic 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
ar. 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 herd
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 cnsts—of $370.10
apiece,
ak =k g
Today, after 10 years, ibfangus
has his farm practically paid for.
He could )lave 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 Go?
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 t0 constitute a 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 birds kept
on flying in a column a mile wide,
and the whole colunin was about
250 miles long when a fresh one
appeared, Round and round they
wheeled as they swept by, with
such a rush of millions of wings
that no one could make their voices
heard unless they shouted, however
near to the person addressed. When
they settled to rest, they left the
woods in ruins for 40 miles, and
great branches were broken by
their weight, while many trees were
killed by them. Year after year,
this went on, bringing food to the
settlers who dried the meat for the
winter; until one year it was noticed
that the pigeons were fewer in num-
ber, and the following year they
were very few,"
A year or two later, there were
none at all and not one Specimen of
the species has ever been seen
since,
What was the cause of their dis-
appearance? Your guess is as good
as those of they scientists.

Counting, as we do, a large num-
her of trout fishermen among our
friends and acquaintances, it has
long been our desire to pay due
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 we weaker mortals
can give them:
:K :K eta
But, up to now, the proper words
and phrases have utterly tailed to
flow from our long-suffering type-
writer, Still, everything comes to
him who waits --to coin a phrase—
and just the other day, we ran
across what might be called "The
• Perfect Tribute to Trout Fisher-
1;leu." The nlau who paid it is no
raw hand. For 50 of his 70 years,
he has been guiding hunters and
fishermen through a vast wilderness
area, and so speaks with authority,
And here is 'what lie 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 such; and it is another of
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
back in 1938, struck out exactly 18
Detroit Tigers in a nine -inning
game. Unless this marls 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 w -is 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 TS MORE, DE-
TROIT WON THAT BALL
CAME BY A SCORE OF 4 to 1.
"To the victors," etc. Phooeyl
=k 'k
Still, there are plenty of forgotten
men in sport. Danny Gardella, for
another example. It isn't so long
since Daniiy'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 sum
of $300,000.
x
Mr. Gardella claimed that organ-
ized ball had deprived hint of his
right to slake a living in the major
leagues, just because he had done
some playing "south of the border,
down Mehico 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 might 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.
Now. Gardella's name has popped
up in the news dispatches again,
and most of us had to give our
memories a couple of sharp jabs to
recall just who he was. He made
the news this time—in small type—
just because the St. Louis Card-
inals, from whom lie had been draw-
ing wages, had shipped him down
to one of their minor league farm.-
ettes, in Houston, Texas.
=k # #
The truth of the matter seems to
be that Danny never was a real big
leaguer, When he managed to get
a fair clout at the ball, it was liable
to travel quite a piece—but even
that wasn't any too often as, in his
best year with the New York Giants
his batting average was a non -too -
sensational ,272,
* k :k
His fielding was apparently of the
same variety as that of one, Yencer
Wiedensaul, who used to do a spot
of outfielding for the Toronto Maple
Leafs back in the days when Gran -
maw and Grampaw were stepping
out. Wiedensaul could misjudge

Anway, as we said, Danny Gar -
delta's fielding appears to have been
along the same lines. A baseball re-
porter once wrote, "Gardella caught
the ball—unassisted." Ant], again,
"Gardella made a sensational catch
of an easy fly ball."
Danny was a practical joker, too,
of a somewhat ghoulish kind, bike
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 winnow was
hide 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 hint, 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
Iran, is back in the minors. We
wish him well and hope that he
manages to get up top again and
stick there as lie had --if nothing
else—plenty of color, But even
more than that, we wish that his
suit against organized baseball had
gone through. It would be interest-
ing to take a look at the inside
works of "the world's greatest, etc.,
etc.," and see just what really makes
it tick,
T4 se- eepin Costly
Are you keeping an old team
around the place for an occasional

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 in hour.
