Soft Water Ration
Ups Milk Production
Fifty Percent Increase
Shown From Experiments
The effects of soft water on milk
production of cows was reported at
a recent meeting of the Sheboygan
County Holstein Breeders associa
tion meeting at Plymouth, Wis.
Milk production of two test cows
increased up to 50 percent when
cows were switched from hard
water to a soft water ration.
One animal, a high production
•Holstein-Fresian, had never exceed
ed an 80-pound daily production un-

til fed soft water. The animal, Seth-
je Della Forbes (Reg. No. 2,356,-
827) increased milk flow to 121
pounds, 50 percent greater than her
previous high.
Previous records show that this
same cow produced an average of
55.8 pounds of milk per day for three
months following the birth of her
first calf in 1946. After the second
calf the following year her average
was 68.6 pounds, and then the aver
age was 55.7 and 72.1 pounds after
the birth of succeeding calves.
Thirty days before this cow was to
have her fifth calf she was given
aerated soft water to drink in place
of the 19 grain hard water previous
ly supplied. Her average production
jumped to 102.7 pounds for the 90-
day period following the calving.
The experiment was conducted by
E. J. Culligah of Northbrook, 111.
Marketing Quotas Will
Not Be Imposed on Wheat
The announcement of Secretary
of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan
that no marketing quotas will be
proclaimed for the 1951 wheat crop
is the result of compliance among
most wheat growers throughout the
wheat area with their 1950 acreage
allotments, many wheat growers be
lieve.
In making the announcement of no
1951 marketing quotas, Brannan
said, “If wheat growers in general
plant within their 1951 crop acreage
allotments, as they did for the 1950
crop, it may be possible to continue
to avoid marketing quotas in the
future.”
The estimated total supply of
wheat for the 1950-51 marketing year
is 1,395 million bushels, or about 18
percent more than the normal sup
ply of 1,179 million bushels.

So, good citizen, keep our system

* • •
THE SCHOOLS are yours. You
pay for them. There is much that
you can do to improve them, and
the need is urgent.
Teachers enjoy—or ought to en
joy—freedom from social and po
litical pressures; freedom to seek
the eternal truths and to present
these truths in a way that will stim
ulate young minds to look for truth
and be able to recognize it when
they find it.
Teachers should be proud of their
profession. They deserve the friend
liness, sociability and respect ac
corded to doctors, lawyers and
members of other professions.
Teachers should be able to live
their private lives as any other
self-respecting citizen lives his—
neither playing “Mrs. Grundy” to
the community nor being dictated
to by the social arbiters of the
community, whoever they may be.
Help to make your schools a force
for national unity by protecting our
children from bigotry and preju
dice.
It has been said, “America fears
no enemy but ignorance.”
The generation which did not
fight the war is trying to understand
what happened, why it happened,
and what can be done to straight
en out the world.
Help it to find out through even
better, stronger, freer schools
which bring to it the distilled truth
wrested from the experience of
all recorded time; which encourage
the search for truth; and which
foster the undeveloped talents
which are America’s greatest source
of wealth.

MARK TWAIN, referring to a for

vast expense of maintaining the
army has made it necessary to re

decided that to support the army it
would be necessary to withdraw the
appropriation from the public
schools . . .
“It is curious to reflect how his

Why, I remember the same thing
was done when I was a boy on the
Mississippi river. There was a prop
osition in a township there to dis
continue public schools because
they were too expensive. An old
farmer spoke up and said if they
stopped the schools they would not
save anything, because every time
a school was closed a jail had to be
built.

THE
FICTION
CORNER
DETECTIVE PETERS
By Richard H. Wilkinson
> .• M ■■■
O RION DIDN’T look like a de
tective. He realized this for a
fact when the girl with the chestnut
brown hair came up and spoke to
him.
“You’re Orion Peters, aren’t you?
Mrs. Keith told me. I’m June In
galls. It’s going to be a gorgeous
wedding, d o n* t
you think? Have
you seen the
swimming pool
yet?”
Orion knew at
once because of her easy infor
mality she had mistaken him for
one of the guests. And suddenly he
decided to go on with the game.
“Hello,” he said cheerfully. “It’s
nice to see you again. No, I haven’t
seen the pool. Is it new? ShaU we
go look at it together?”
They went and looked at it. In
fact they swam in it.
They stayed near the pool for
almost two hoars. At the end of
that time Orion came to two de
cisions. First, he decided that
the girl was the loveliest, most
beautiful creature he’d ever
known. Second, he decided he
was a fool. At first this business
of pretending to be a guest
smacked of a lark. Now it was
different, ^e was falling in love.
He went back to his room and
changed into his tux. He’d have to
go down and keep his eyes on things
and avoid June Ingalls, if he could.
He took up a station within ob
servation distance of the table
where the gifts were placed and
acted as much Hike a guest as he
knew how. June was not among the
crowd that milled around the living
room. He was convincing nimseii
that he was glad of this, when a
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Beggar Has New Angle - Can You Spare a Teddy Bear?
By BILLY ROSE
There’s a beggar in New York with a new sales approach: “Can
you please, Mister, spare the price of a teddy bear for my sick little
daughter?”
It so happens that this panhandler hasn’t got a sick little daughter,
but that doesn’t mean you have to turn him down if you meet up with
him. His story is hearts-and-flowers stuff, and I’ll tell it to you as it
was told to me the other night by Charlie Washburn, the Broadway press
agent ....
“A few days before Easter,” said
Charlie, “I was standing in front
of a toy shop on Fifth Avenue when
a seedy-looking guy tapped me on
the arm and asked
if I could spare the
price of a teddy
bear. When I told
him to quit his kid
ding, he explained
he wanted it for his
sick litUe girl, and
that if I didn’t
think he was on the
up-and - up he’d
write his name and
address od a piece
of paper and I
-could have it delivered.
“Well, filled with the old Easter
spirit I walked into the shop and
picked out a five-doll a r bear, but
when I handed the slip to the girl
who waited on me she gave me a
funny look and said I was the third
person that afternoon who’d order
ed one to tt*st address.
# • •
Billy Bose
“IT SMELLED LIKE a good hu
man interest yarn, and so I had her
wrap up the toy and set out to de
liver it myself. It was a flat in a
walk-up tenement in the 50’s near
Tenth Avenue, and the door was
opened by a woman who looked as
if she could use a little sleep.
" r Wbat you got there,’ she
said, 'another teddy bear?*
"'Haw'd you know’? I asked,
" 'I’ve been getting two or
three every afternoon for the
last month,' she said. r Wberr'd
you run into Tim?’
“Tim, it turned out, was her hus
band and he had been missing for
several weeks. Things hadn’t been
going well with them for quite
some time, and when his unemploy
ment insurance ran out last March
the going got real tough. Then, to
make things still worse, their three-
year-old daughter, Peggy, had
taken sick and the doctors at the
clinic couldn’t seem to do much
for her.
• 4 •
“THE TEDDY BEAR angle had
come about this way: Shortly after
Peggy became ill, she asked for a
teddy bear and kept talking about
it all the time. Tim said he thought
it would do her more good than all
the medicine, but what with the
room rent and food, they just
couldn’t afford to buy one. A month
ago he walked out of the house, and
ever since teddy bears had been
arriving at the rate of two or three
a day.
“ ’With all those toys,’ I said to
the woman, ’your daughter must be
a happy little girt*
"They're too late to do any
good,' she said. 'Peggy died two
days before her father left. And
the teddy bears probably would-
tdt have helped anyhow — she
bad leukemia.'
“When I told her I couldn’t un
derstand why a man was mooching
teddy bears for a dead child, the
woman said she was afraid Tim
had cracked up. He was never one
to accept reality anyhow, and in his
fuzzy condition he probably still
thought the kid was alive.
“ ‘Well, then,’ I said, ‘what have
you been doing with all the teddy
bears?’
“The woman told me she had
gotten to know the doctors at the
clinic pretty well, and when her
husband disappeared^ they had
found her a job at the hospital as
cleaning woman.
*’ There are a lot of kids in the
charity ward where I work,* she
said, ’and they get a big kick out
of those teddy bears.’ ”
Orion decided that the girl
was the loveliest, most beauti
ful creature he’d ever known.
feminine voice behind him said:
“Why, Mr. Peters, you're stand
ing here like a statue. I mean,
shouldn't we dance, or something?”
“I’m dreadfully sorry,” he said.
“I hurt my ankle in the pool this
afternoon. I’m afraid dancing’s out,
(or me.”
“Oh, how wretched! Is there any
thing I can do? I mean, oughtn't
you to see a doctor, or something?”
J UST THEN Orion’s desperate
glance fell on the table where
lay the gifts. There was a man
standing at one end talking to a
woman. The woman had a fan,
which she maneuvered skillfully.
Behind its ruffled folds the man to
whom she was talking suddenly
darted out a hand, scooped up some
thing on the table, and thrust it be
neath the tails of his coat
Orion came back to earth with a
jolt. He started toward the man,
who was moving through the crowd
toward the terrace door. He caught
up with the fellow just as they got
outside and fell into step beside
him.
“All right,” said Orion when they
reached the end of the terrace.
“Take it easy and you won’t get
hurt You’re under arrest.”
The man looked at him quick
ly. Orion didn’t have time to
lift his arms in defense. Some
thing struck him a terrible blow
on the head. He swayed, caught
himself, glimpsed the thief
racing down the steps.
Orion anticipated the direction of
the man he was chasing by leaping
the fish pond and making a flying
tackle at the fellow’s legs. They
went down in a heap.
When he opened his eyes there
was a crowd of people around. He
heard snatches of conversation and
guessed that the thief had been
captured and everybody thought
that he, Orion, was quite a hero.
Then he knew that his head was
pillowed on something soft. He saw
a face bending over him.
“Well, that setUes it, I guess,” he
grinned. "Now you know. But I’m
not really a detective. I go to law
school nights and detect days and
week-ends.”
“It doesn’t make a particle of
difference,*’ June told him. “I’m
Mrs. Keith’s secretary. She asked
me to see that you were looked out
for. Can I help it if you thought I
was a guest? And now that you
know the truth, I suppose you don’t
like me any more?”
“Suppose," said Orion, “you let
me ask a question.”
She agreed and he asked it and
she blushed as she said, “yes.”
New Lake Pays Off
Kentucky Lake, new impound
ment which has proved a bonanza
for anglers, is going to get even
better according to the Kentucky
division of conservation.
The theme of angler enthusiasm
appears to be “Old Izaak never
dreamed it would be this good!”
The lake and dam areas haye been
paying off for fishermen on every-
ftung from trout flies to a bent-pin
kook and worm. But, according to
state conservation officials, the
“best is yet to come.”
With the season’s hottest days
at hand, lake experts are touting
both local and out-of-state fisher
men to the fast waters below Ken
tucky Dam where exceptional
catches of crappie have been re
corded. In the next few weeks bass
fishing is expected to hit its peak
—and Kentucky Lake bass, both
for size and fighting qualities, don’t
have to take low when compared
with the biggest battlers to be found
tnywhere.
Pointing out that -usually during
«he hottest weather most lakes yield
poor returns to anglers, Kentucky
This photo of anglers at Ken
tucky Lake dam Indicates the
popularity of this new Impound
ment with anglers In both Tenn
essee and Kentucky. Earl Wal
lace, director of the Kentucky
division of game and fish has
declared Kentucky Lake will re
main the best fishing spot In the
state for years to come.
experts assure anglers that catches
in Kentucky Lake should not di
minish. Game fish, in the hot, sul
try months, seek to avoid hot sur
face water by lying in the deepest
holes, thereby limiting the effective
ness of bait fishing and use of arti
ficial lures.
Kentucky Lake, however, offers
an alternative to that situation.
This is the water immediately be
low the dam. Here, the rushing
water is kept sufficiently aerated
to contain enough oxygen to make
the area highly attractive to fish
of all species.
Commenting on this, Earl Wal
lace, director of the state division
of game and fish says, “Kentucky
Lake will remain the best fishing
spot in the state. In seeking cool
waters, large schools of crappie
and bass move into the area around
the dam and immediately below it
in the Tennessee River. It is not
unusual to catch the limit of 30 crap
pie in an hour or so.”
AAA
Tackle Needs
In general, the needs of the plug
caster in the tackle line aren’t too
voluminous, and with a reasonable
expenditure of money, coupled with
good judgment, the plug fisherman
may get rigged out without any real
alarming strain on the budget.
A regular tempered-steel rod —
preferably of the tubular construc
tion type, or one of the many good
glass rods now on the market—can
be had for less than $10. A good,
serviceable quadruple - multiplying
reel can be obtained for about half
that, and the proper line will sel
dom run more than $1.50 for 50
yards. This is plenty for actual use
and any cheap line can be used as
a reel filler or “backing.”
The important thing to remember
is to buy equipment for the type
fishing one plans to do, matching
all items and not buying articles
which later will be found worthless
or impractical.
The angler who is in territory
where the bass won’t run much over
two pounds and who may tie into an
8 or 10-pound carp or buffalo oc
casionally, should not burden him
self with a short, stiff rod and a
bulky line. He can easily, profitably
and, certainly, more enjoyably.
