Farm Efficiency, Assets Are Highest in History Financially and physically, Amer ican agriculture is in the strongest position in its history to meet the production demands involved in the free world’s rearmament effort, de-, partment of agriculture figures ro- veaL One of the significant elements of agriculture’s current strength is the growth of farmers* savings over the past decade combined with the relatively small rise in their aggre gate debt At the beginning of this year, farmers as a group held near ly $22 billions in bank deposits, currency, U.S. savings bonds, and investments in cooperatives. This was more than four times the $5 billion total of. such liquid assets at the start of 1940. These figures do not include other savings such as life insurance. Farmers are known to have greatly increased their life insurance protection in recent years. Aggregate farm debt at the be ginning of this year was estimated at just under $13 billions, as against $10 billion on January 1, 1940. All this increase has been in the non- real estate category, a large part of it due to government crop loans. Big Freeze The January cold wave that reached down into normally sunny Florida brought the worst disaster in the cattle raising history of the Okeechobee area. Thousands of cattle died when driving rain com bined with freezing weather. The estimated livestock loss was near the million dollar mark. The pic ture above shows a few steers too weakt to get on their feet. Many of them died' before the freeze was over. North Dakota Feed Said Deficient in Phosphorus Most livestock feeds grown in North Dakota are short on phos phorus, and ailments brought on by this deficiency are common in herds and flocks of the state, M. H. McDonald, livestock agent of the extension service reports. As a remedy he suggests feeding live stock a high phosphorus mineral with trace mineral salt, free choice, and you won’t have to worry about mineral shortage. CIVIL DEFENSE Home Towners May Be Vital Link In Nation's Civil Defense Chain (This Is the last of a series of five articles on civil defense by Walter A. Shead. Western News paper Union’s Washincton corre- spondent.) Iky Walter A. Shead WASHINGTON, D.C. — Whether you live in a city or a small town, or on a farm in the rural areas of the nation, you have an obligation as a citizen interested in saving your own life and the life of your fellow citizens in the civil defense program. Many folks in small towns or on farms may be inclined to take the dangers inherent in a full-scale war with a grain of salt. There are no barriers to poison or nerve gas es. There are no limits to biological warfare, and the destruction of the means of providing food to our military personnel may be a main objective of our potential enemy. Suppose your neighbors in a near by city have the most efficient civil defense system possible to work out and an enemy attack knocks out large numbers of .its personnel. Then it may be the duty of those in surrounding cities and towns and counties to move in as rescue teams —to care for evacuees, to improvise hospitals and many other essen tials of defense work. There are hundreds of jobs for civilians which must be filled: air plane spotters, apprehension of saboteurs, guarding against water poisoning or pollution, amateur ra dio operators, ambulance drivers, messengers, first aid trucks, stor age of thousands of items of supply in medication and food-transport, engineers, housekeeping employees for nursing and dietary depart ments, cooks, laundresses, blood i donors, watchmen at plants, utili ties, and essential services such as dairies and pasteurization plants, immunization of small animals to prevent rabies, grave diggers, spe cially trained radiation detection teams, air raid shelter contruction, and dozens of other essential work ers. Alert watchfulness on the part of farmers to detect dangerous dis-' eases in their live-stock and pests and plant disease is highly impor- By INEZ GERHARD R ed-haired, blue-eyed Polly Ber gen won all hearts' when she visited New York to help promote “At War with the Army,” the Dean Martin-Jerry Lewis comedy in which she has the leading feminine role. Nothing phoney about that girl! Polly’s husband, Jerome Court- land, under contract to Columbia, came along, to see his family and show her New York. She is under •« contract to Hal Wallis, so her screen future is assured. But if anything should happen to it she can fall back on television and singing with orchestras; that’s how she got her start. Ten Presidents of the United States are seen in Warners’ “My Country Tis of Thee,” the Techni color short dramatizing American history. Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Tru man portray themselves in the picture. tant. The bureau of animal industry already has given instruction to a large number of veterinarians In diagnosis of these diseases and at the first suspicion the farmer should call the state livestock sanitary of ficials for prompt investigation. In many instances large amounts of vaccine must be promptly available and in any outbreak, quarantine procedure and destruction of ani mals and their burial may be all- important to prevent spreading. Special equipment for disenfecting crews should be immediately avail able. The same watchfulness is essen tial in detection of plant pests and diseases. County agricultural agents, farmers, and regional, state and federal agricultural agencies will advise which crops in their re spective areas are most essential for national welfare and, therefore, more likely to be the aim of biolog ical warfare. • • » THE STATE AND local govern ments are/furnishing approximate ly half of the three billion dollars appropriated in the national civilian defense act to provide for this na tion-wide program. But in spite of every thing the federal administra tor may do, the responsibility of adequate defense rests at each level of local government including the responsibility for health service op erations. It is up to the state civil defense director to map out his state and to determine in each lo cality just what type of organ ization must be setup. A community then would find itself in one of three categories: first, cities within critical target areas; second, mu tual aid communities; and third, mobile support communities. The folks in the small towns and rural areas would find themselves in one of the last two categories and their principal function would be to re ceive casualties from the nearby principal city, and to send health service rescue teams to its aid. , The mobile support communities may be anywhere from 50 to 150 miles from the nearest principal city. And while these latter commu nities might not be the deliberate aim of a bombing attack there is always the possibility of a bomber’s error, as many communities in Eu rope and Asia discovered in the last war. The organization of these mobile support communities in rural coun ties are of greatest impof^nce to the whole civil defense program. The health service in these commu nities would be organized to operate as self-contained teards in such fields as first aid and radiological defense. Larger communities with hospitals or sizable clinics would also be prepared to receive cas ualties and should be able to supply complete surgical, burn and shock teams to disaster areas. So just because you do not live in a large city, do not get the idea that you and your family should not be trained in every possible as pect of civil defense or that you will not be called upon for aid. in case of an emergency disaster. You will be. If the weight of atomic attack or other of the phases of warfare discussed in these articles ever falls on this' nation, the responsi bility of defense will not fall so much upon a plan of organization as it will upon the shoulders of in dividuals who are trained and ready and who know how to save their own lives and the lives of their neighbors. So be ready to join the United States civil defense corps. mm puzzle IASI WEEK'S ANSWER p ACROSS 1. Chamber, 5. Fellow 9. Wavy (Heraldry) 10. Learning 11. Little island 12. A hole* boring tool 14.

H. WHkinson T HE TELEPHONE on Sheriff Bill Streeter’s desk jingled and he picked it up. “Hello, Bill?” said an excited voice. “This is Guy Halbert. Say, for God’s sake, get out to the ranch at once! Hom er’s been shot!” “What makes you think so?” Bill asked. “I just tele phoned him. He said he’d been plugged and tried to tell who did it, but his voice trailed off. Then I heard a crash, as though he’d fallen. “Where are you now?” said Bill. “In Stansboro. I came in this morning to see about a cattle ship ment. I was to call him and report this afternoon.” “O. K.,” said Bill. “I’ll go right out.” Two hours later Sheriff Streeter entered the main building of the Diamond G and found the place in a state of excitement. Jay Leonard, Gorham’s foreman, dark-skinned, surly, ill-tempered, met the officer. “Hello, Jay, what happened?” “I dunno, Minnie, the house keeper, went in to the office to call the old man to lunch and found him.” "Doc Humphrey here yet?” At that moment a door behind the store fireplace opened and gray-haired Doc Humphrey emerged. “Killed instantly,” he said. “Can’t say how long ago. Maybe two—three hoars.” “Thanks.” Sheriff Streeter en tered the office. Gorham had been laid out on a cot and covered with a blanket. GRASSROOTS Ike's Duty Is To Integrate 11 Military Commands By Wright A. Patterson t HE INTERNATIONAL ARMY General Eisenhower is to or ganize, equip and command, should the Russians attack us or any one of the Western European nations, presents many intricate and diffi cult problems. It will be composed of troops from 11 different countries, speak ing and understanding 11 different languages. All must understand army orders in exactly the same way so that none work at cross pur poses in battle and cause what could prove to be disastrous confusion. He must devise a workable system that will make any misunderstand ings impossible before he can hope to defeat the Russian hordes on land. In Korea, General MacArthnr, as commander of the United Nations forces, composed as it is of troops from several na tions, speaking and understand ing several different languages, has had somewhat the same problem, though to a smaller extent, and he has solved that problem. He also has had the problem of arms and ammuni tion supply for the troops from different nations. That was dif ficult, but he solved it. Eisenhower will have the greater problem of providing interchange able arms and ammunition for his army, so the same rifle bullets will work for all troops regardless of the country from which they come. The agreement between the nations of the North Atlantic pact is that each nation will provide the needed items of supplies for which they are best equipped. America, England, France and Germany will each con tend it can provide the best of planes, tanks, trucks, guns and am munition. The decision will rest with Eisenhower. That decision, when made, will arouse many antagonisms which can only be removed by the con testing manufacturers being shown, diplomatically, the reason for his decision. To permit such antagon ism to go unanswered would create distrust on the home front that could result in disaster on the bat tle front. That problem of production of arms, munitions and supplies for this international army con stitutes what is probably the greatest single problem Eisen hower has undertaken. It will call for the exercise of all the diplomacy he possesses to keep peace in the international fam ily, without which victory on the battlefield will go glimmer ing. Bat to attempt to fight » war with the arms, munitions and supplies not being inter changeable, coming from 11 different sources, torould be im possible. The general will have no great difficulty in organizing his general staff. He can pick the best of the officers from each of the 11 na tions involved, and the combined ability of the general staff; applied to the many problems involved will aid materially in providing so lutions. One of the small ones is the full understanding of road signs on the part of drivers of trucks, tanks, and other self propelled pieces of equipment, or transportation in gen eral. Whatever a road sign says must be understood by all as mean ing the same thing. Camp signs would come within the same cate gory. Road signs are of seemingly small importance, but on them could hinge success or failure when it became time to move reinforce ments to a threatened weak spot in a battle line. Such a job as that Eisenhower has as£uned calls for the ability of a superman. No soldier in all the world’s history has ever be fore been expected to do so much, to solve so many intricate prob lems. Eisenhower is the one man in the armed forces of all the 11 nations who could best be expect ed to have the organizing ability and strategy in the field, the pa tience and diplomacy to meet problems of the home front, and those of army organization and training. Can Eisenhower do the job? My guess would be that he can, that he can and will solve the innumer able problems the job presents. And should Joe Stalin and his Rus sian Commies start anything, they will find out before they get far that they are up against a real ad versary. To solve all the problems involved calla for a genius, and Iks is our available genius in whom all 11 nations have faith. *y JIM MINT- Outside, snow-white titanium lead and oil MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE not to peel, rub or wash off, or turn jreilow S2.S6 GALLON in 9-sal cans, f.o.b.

Instantly. He’s sure of It.” Streeter returned to the main liv ing room. Doc Humphrey was still there. “Who do you reckon would want Homer killed. Doc?” Humphrey scratched his chin. “Plenty. Everyone who worked for him hated him. He was a hard task master.” He glanced swiftly toward the scowling figure of Jay Leonard near the door. “I reckon Jay hated him as much as anyone. Then there's Guy Halbert. “Guy was in Stansboro and Jay ain’t the type to hate bad enough to kiU.” “Well, I don’t reckon Minnie would km anyone.” S TREETER WENT out on to the veranda, and sat down and rolled a cigarette. He had a lot of thinking to do. He didn’t want to make any mistakes. Suddenly the officer bounded to his feet and went into the ranch house where Doc Humphrey was packing his bag . . . Minutes later he returned to the veranda just as an automobile swung in at the ranch gate. Guy Halbert leaped from behind the wheel. “Is he dead? Lord! I got here as soon as I could.” “He’s dead,” Streeter nodded. Halbert’s eyes widened. “I was afraid of that. I was afraid that’s what had happened when his voice trailed off—.” “That so?” said Bill Streeter. Halbert produced a handkerchief and began mopping his brow. “This is terrible. Who do you think would want to kill him, sheriff?” Suddenly, Halbert stopped mopping his brow and stared. Behind the sheriff he saw the dark face of Jay Leonard. Be hind Jay he saw Doc Humphrey. “Say!” he said, “what’s wrong? What are you all staring at me like that for?” “You otter know, mister,” said Streeter quietly. “I? Why should I know?” His voice rose wildly. “Say, what’s the matter? Lord! You don’t think I did it? Why, I was in Stansboro! I can prove it.” “Sure you can. But you can’t prove Homer wasn’t shot before you went down there.” “I talked with him on the tele phone. It was me he told about his being shot. It was me called you.” “Called me so’s I wouldn’t sus pect you. Streeter’s voice was sud denly cold, accusing. “The doc says Homer was killed instantly, mister.” “But—” Halbert stopped talking. Terror leaped into his eyes as the significance of the sheriffs words dawned on him. Killed instantly! A man who is killed instantly couldn’t tell him over the telephone tha* he’d been shot! You Gotta Know Where This may come as a distinct sip- prise to thousands of American an glers, but it is a fact that less than one-fourth of' all our lakes and streams have any fish in them. Con sequently knowing where to look for fish immediately becomes one of the most important of considera tions to the angler. As many fishermen know to their discomfort and distress, too many stretches of our lakes and streams fail to produce, no matter how hard the plugging, fly-casting or bait fishing; and, scores of experts to the contrary, the magician with any of the three types of fishing rods will do no better than the veriest' tyro. The simple reason is there are no fish in such stretches and all the angjling skill in the world, therefore, cannot produce any. So, is the big problem posed for the angler. He must locate water that contains fish and he must have something of a knack or know-how about determining where the fish will be feeding. In waters that have become fa miliar over the years and where the angler knows he is likely to pick up a keeper, or several, the prob lem isn’t so complicated. Here are a few hints that may help the an gler on strange streams or waters: In streams, look for overhanging banks, pools below rapids, edge of current at backwater pools, log jams, submerged trees or roots, behind rocks or other obstructions and over gravel and rock bars. It is always well to fish under bridges, for these, with their pilings and support ofttimes are favorite hang outs for good-size fish. Both ends of connecting channels usually will pay off best in lakes, while along weed beds extending above the water and shelving ledges also will be found productive. Fish the inlets knd over sand bars.. Here, too, as on the streams, water under overhanging trees, offer ing cool shade, may produce well. Always remember that fish spend a considerable time of the day fish ing, and where you find their food sources, you’ll find them. AAA Sleeping Bag Warmth The warmth of a sleeping bag is always dependent upon the ability of its filling to retain body heat. Feathers have been found to be the best filling and insulation for a sleeping bag because they re main fluffy, creating thousands of small, dry, dead air spaces which are poor conductors of heat, thus keeping in body heat. Wool kapok and cotton are successively less satisfactory, since they will become all paced down after awhile. This destroys the air spaces -and de creases their insulation value. In order for one to get the great est amount of comfort from any type of' sleeping bag, use of an air mattress is almost indispensable. These come in two sizes, full length and knee length. Most campers pre fer the latter, as it weigh* less; but for fullest comfort and where weight Isn’t a too-vital factor, the full-length mattress will be found more desirable. It is well to remember that one which can be blown up by lung- power is handier than one which requires a pump, for a pump can be misplaced or lost, thus rendering the mattress useless. One mistake against which sleep ing bag-users should guard is in flating the mattress too much, mak ing it hard and uncomfortable and subjecting it to abnormal wear through over-pressure. AAA ■Windbreaks Cut Fuel The quiet purr of an oil burner can rise to a roar in the ears of an economy-minded home-owner when the mercury dips into the low er brackets. The fellow who has to cut wood and shovel coal sometimes develops a permanent stoop by the time springtime brings relief from a long, cold winter. Yet, a little spring work with spade and axe can cut down the noise and give the fire man a chance to straighten up his spine during the more frigid months. Windbreaks can do the job- windbreaks planted along the edge of a house lot can cut a 12-mile an hour wind to nothing, and*calm to gentle breezes the icy, 25-mile gusts that suck heat from a building. Windbreaks on a farm, according to the Missouri conservation com mission, which recently studied the subject, also cut livestock feed costs anH increase milk and meat pro duction. < Stock for windbreak planting is Inexpensive and often can be ob tained at less than cost from state nurseries.
