Contented Cows
Expert Says No Such Thing
COLUMBUS, Ohio — For the
termers of the nation the Uni
versity of Ohio has a new mes-
sage. specifically, there is no
such thing as a contented cow.
The university’s cow psycholo
gists said in a recent report that
bovines are sensitive creatures
churned by emotional conflicts.
Ohio State scientists are work
ing on a cooperative pasture
study with the University of Min
nesota.
According to the scientists
cows are constantly affected by
social arrangements of the herd.
Every herd has a queen cow.
Competition for the top run in
cow society causes unsuccessful
social climbers to become em
bittered and maladjusted with
consequent loss in milk produc
tion.
Ku Klux Klan Cross
Stirs Small Town;
Leftists Attacked
RICE LAKE. Wis.~Two leftist
groups recently offered a reward of
$200 for information that would lead
to the arrest of persons who placed
"huge Ku Klux Klan crosses" on
two Barron (Wisconsin) farms.
The reward was offered in an ad
vertisement placed in the Rice Lake
Chronotype by Stanley Jones, sec
retary of the People’s Progressive
party. The money was raised, the
advertisement stated, by the party
and the Civil Right congress. The
congress has been labeled a Com
munist front group by the United
States attorney general.
The first cross, with a noose at
tached, was placed on the farm of
Herman Olson, two miles west of
Rice Lake, on Jan. 10, 1951. Hie
second, with a butcher knife in
serted, was erected Feb. 20 on the
property of Lumir Subrt in the town
of Bear Lake, Wis.
Subrt is secretary of the Barron
county chapter of the Civil Rights
congress. i
Sheriff Harry Jensen was reported
investigating both cases and sent
both the noose and knife to the
Wisconsin crime laboratory at Mad
ison for study.
The Communist party, it was re
ported by Barron officials, has been
working for several years to gain
a foothold in the Rice Lake area.
Membership in the county, however,
was believed to be small but well
organized.
As an outspoken critic of Com
munism, the Chronotype has been
called "fascist" by the civil rights
group. Attorney Sam P. Rigler of
Rice Lake, over whose door a swas
tika flag and a noose were draped
last year after he made an anti
communist speech, has also been
criticized by the civil rights group.
The advertisement announced the
$200 reward in connection with the
crosses on the Olson and Subrt
property said that the crosses were
“ a threat." If such threats are con
tinued, it stated, "we face years in
which the traditional freedoms of
America embodied in and symbo
lized by the bill of rights will be
abandoned."
Ord Taxpayers Send

mailed their pants to congress re
cently may have started something
Business men and Republican lead
ers throughout the state joined in
acclaiming their action.
The men each sent a pair of trou
sers to their congressmen to em-
their stand for economy in
jovernment. Along with the trou
sers they sent a picture of them
posing behind a sign which read:
"Congress—Here’s Our Pants.”
Ord, population 2,240, may find
itself the source of the most signifi
cant taxation protest in years.
Earl A. Virden, Onawa, Iowa, in
a telegram to the mayor of Ord,
said: "The most significant taxation
protest since the Boston tea party.
Let's mak-; it a national movement.
Am down to my last pair, but they
go tomorrow.”
The movement gathered large
support throughout Iowa and Ne
braska. Owen Cotton, secretary of
the Nebraska Small Business Men’s
association, expressed the view of
many in the state: "A good stunt,
that dramatizes something that’s a
very real problem. I’ve got an old
pair congress can have."

Large Livestock Claims
Paid to Illinois Farmers
VANDALIA, 111.—Fayette county,
recently paid $2,885.-50 to
»rs in thirteen of its twenty
lips for livestock killed or in-
during 1950 by marauding
i. The claims, paid out of the
tax receipt, was the largest
amount for several years.
However, under the present high
market prices of meat, the owners
of livestock do not often recover full
value for their losses. Illinois law.
tor instance, places the maximum
for loss or injury of a sheep at $15.
The largest Fayette county claim
paid was to John Hopkins of Van-
dalia township in the amount of
$452. The second highest claim paid
was to Chester Halford of Hurricane
township for *‘70. In all 32 claims
were paid.

Beachcomber Enlisted
Uncle Sam’s long arm has reached
out and tapped upon the shoulder
that epitome of carefree existence,
the beachcomber, the Wildlife Man
agement Institute reports.
Time was, not many years past,
when a man could pick some quiet
key and forget all about bureauc
racy, Washington, and the outside
world. But no more. As the man
"on the beach" roams the sands in
search of the day’s new stock of
flotsam and jetsam, he may stum
ble upon a small plastic container
holding a postcard which tells him:
"These cards are being used to
study the currents of the Gulf of
Mexico. Please remove the plastic
and fill in blank spaces. Mall every
card you find. No postage needed
in the United States. In return you
will be told the place of their re
lease."
The cards, scattered by planes,
are being employed by the U-iS
Fish and Wildlife Service to trace
the pattern of shore currents in the
Gulf in order to determine methods
of controlling the “red tide," caused
by an animal-like organism, which
killed an estimated half billion fish
off Florida a few years ago.
Life sure is getting complicated.

About 'Coons
’Coon skins once were standard
measures of barter.
Early records are full of trans
actions by which all manner of
articles were sold or standard
numbers of pelts. The fur was made
into hats and linings, the leather
into women’s shoes. The fat carcass,
when rendered, provided a gbod
grade of light lubricating oil. The
flesh was, and of course is, a com
mon dish, usually roasted.
It > is commonly believed that
a ’coon mal.es a very good pet and
that it washes all its food. This is
just about half true. If obtained
when young, most ’coons do become
tame as cats. Most of those stay
tame for a year or so.
But after that, most become un-
predictably vicious, no matter how
gentle has been the owner’s treat
ment.

Line Size
Because of the lack of standard
ization in casting lines, as well as
in fly lines—that is in size and
weight—the average angler may
find himself confused at the poor
performance of a given-test line
when he has been led to believe
that test line is the correct thing for
his reel. For instance, we were hav
ing trouble with a 12-lb. test cast
ing line. We changed to another line
of 12-lb. test, but of smaller diam-
tter, and casting ease increased.

Reclamation projects provide
additional recreational features
for thousands of Californians.
Bass and trout fishing are es
pecially good in Shasta Lake.
Hie water is picked up by the
Delta Cross Channel and flows south
to the Tracy Pumping Plant on the
rim of Central Valley’s western
foothills. There the water is lifted
200 feet into the Delta-Mendota
Canal, to flow another 120 miles
south to Mendota pool on the San
Joaquin river.
At this point the imported north
ern supply takes over the job for
merly done by the San. Joaquin
river. By this exchange, San Joa
quin waters can be retained behind
Friant dam and diverted still fur
ther south by the 153-mile Friant-
Kern Canal for irrigation use in the
critically water-deficient areas
along the east side of the San Joa
quin valley as far down as Bakers
field.
At the Friant dam another canal
moves water 37 miles north for ir
rigation purposes in Madera county.
The initial features of the project,
which will be completed and in op
eration this July, will cost an esti-.
ihated $400,000,000, of which 87 per
cent will be repaid through sale of
water and power developed by the
project over a sixty year period.
The remaining 13 per cent is
charged to non-reimbursable items
such as flood control.
ALTHOUGH THIS is a vast proj
ect, it is only one small part of the
nation’s reclamation program that
has already proved to be a fruitful
source of new wealth from the de
velopment of the west’s great natu
ral resources.
Reclamation opens new oppor-
tunities for people of this nation to
build new farms, new homes, new
industries and new business es
tablishments in our best and oldest
American tradition.
Today some 5,000,000 tferes of
arid and semiarid land are irrigated
with crops produced on these lands
averagyig in excess of $500,000,000
per year in value.
Since the first reclamation project
was started in 1903, the west has
been provided with 95 dams with
combined storage capacity of 82,-
780,000 acre-feet of water; 35 power
plants with more than 3,000,000
kilowatts capacity; 16,000 miles of
irrigation canals; 3,000 miles of
electric transmission lines.
In return, reclamation projects
have produced $500,000’,000 worth
of crops per year; $33,000,000 in
power revenues; $2,000,000,000 in
federal taxes between 1916 and 1949;
and $1,500,000,000 which is spent in
every section of the United States
each year.
This is the brief story of this na
tion’s attempt to bring water to
thirsty land, a story that has been
repeated in many sections of the
world since before the time of
Christ, but never on such a vast
scale.

let Tod go in, but it wasn’t any
good. He was shoved into the
corner opposite Valerie by eager
shoppers.

thought wryly. Personal conversa
tion, interrupted by calls of “Three,
miss,” and “Second, please,” was
nearly impossible, but Valerie man
aged it.
“Good morning, Mr. Davis,” she
said now, formally. “Why aren’t
you at college?”
‘Too nice a morning to be cooped
up,” he said, watching her but con
scious that every eye was on him.
Everybody streamed out by the
time they reached the top floor and
only two nurses got in for the down
ride. Quickly, he said. “I’m quitting
school.”
Valerie’s expressions — anger
chasing disappointment — told
him how she felt. As people got
on at the fourth floor level, all
she could say was, "I’m afraid
you’re making a mistake.’*

GRASSROOTS
Farmers Are Enjoying More Prosperity Than Ever
By Wright A. Patterson
T HE FACTS AND FIGURES used
in this column were provided
by a national life insurance com
pany.
As compared with the conditions
of the mid-twenties and early thir
ties, those operating the 6,372,000
farms of to-day are following the
sunny side of the farm prosperity
road, thanks to a beneficent gov
ernment. Farm mortgages are not
now being foreclosed by the thou
sands each day or week, as was
true of that time—mortgages rep
resenting farm purchases made at
exhorbitant prices for land. By
last year, 1950, mortgage foreclos
ures were practically over. The
farm had grown from an average
146 acres in 1900 to an average
size of 195 acres in 1950, and the
mortgage had dropped to an aver
age of only $850 per farm, a mere
8% per cent of the value of the
farm and its equipment.
That reduction of. the farm
mortgage represents but one
evidence of farm prosperity.
That average- American farm
er of 1950 was 49 years old. His
195 acres of land and his farm
buildings were worth $10,000.
Hi* farm machinery and motor
vehicles, with live stock and
poultry to a value of $2,100, rep
resent a total plant value for
each of the 6,372,000 farms of
$14,300.
For each farm there was pro
duced in 1950 crops represent
ing a cash value of $4,350, plus
$350 worth of the products of
each farm used by the farm
family. In the aggregate, Amer
ican agriculture is a big busi
ness, and again prosperous, with
its more than- six million pro
ducing units sharing in the to
tal of more than 30 billion dol
lars of production, an average
for each farm of $4,700, with
an average holding of about
$14,300 for each farm, exclu
sive of home furnishings and
home equipment.
Through the past half century the
farm has uicreased its production
despite the fact that the farm pop
ulation has decreased by some 12
per cent. With better methods, bet
ter seed, better equipment, better
livestock and more fertilizer, the
man hour production has in
creased in the past 10 years by
more than 35 per cent. Thanks to
the American farmer, the Amer
ican farm has more than kept pace
with other American production. It
has done its full part in all of our
war efforts. It has provided food
for our armed forces, and for those
of our allies.
Half a century ago, in 1900 the
average net income on American
farms amounted to only $350 per
year. Twenty five years later it was
$960, and in 1950 the average an
nual net income amounted to $2,225.
That increase was not all due to
the government policies of guar
anteeing a parity price for farm
products. Much of it was due to the
habits of thrift and industry that is
so much an attribute of the farm.
Those things, more than the parity
prices maintained at the expense
of the taxpayers, were responsible
for the restoration of the farm to
its place in the national economy.
The people of the cities and
towns should realize that It is
not congress, nor any one at
Washington, who is responsible
for present farm conditions, but
that such conditions have large
ly been produced by the char
acteristic industry and thrift
of those on the farms.'
The figures are, of course, general
averages. There are exceptions.
There are farms on which thrift
and industry are not found, but
such instances are the exceptions
rather than the rule. As a whole,
the farm is enjoying an unusual
degree of prosperity, due to the
efforts of the farmers and the
farm families. Farming is again
an acceptable way of living. To
day it enjoys not only its share of
cash income, but the conveniences
of living that were so long con
sidered the perogatives of the ur
ban population where electricity
was available.
The electric power is provided
by the farm owned co-operatives,
of which the average farm has in
vested $350. That investment pro
vides him with a telephone, with
electricity for light and power. It
provides for him and his family
the same conveniences that are
enjoyed by those living in the
cities.
Yes, the American farmer is
again living on the sunny side of
easy street. His balance at his
local bank is as large as is that of
the average city dwellers.
As the elevator zoomed past
the fourth floor he took her la
his arms and proposed.
stubborn. First floor and everybody
out as a new stream crowded in.
Just enough confused time for Tod
to stop beside her. “It’s that job,”
he said urgently, “I’ll be making
enough for us to be married on.
Steady work.”
“So’s running an elevator,” she
reported. “Why don’t you talk to
the professor?"
r }D leaned against the wall,
watching the professor direct
traffic. He couldn’t see college for
the $2.70 an hour he’d get working
for a construction company. Balance
the promise of an underpaid white
collar job after two more years of
college against that kind of money,
and you didn’t give a darn for
education.
The castanets clicked, the profes
sor’s arm moved, people shuffled
forward. Watching Jiim, Tod was
reminded of an automat. The pro
fessor was a fixture, performing
the same gestures routinely. Habit
and duty guiding him. Like a pup
pet, Tod thought, realizing why
Valerie wanted him to talk to the
professor.
With the elevators all in use, he
turned to Tod. “How’s college?"
“I’m quitting for a^ob at $2.70 an
hour."
"So you can get married?"
“Valerie says she won’t marry
me unless I finish college."
“Smart girl,” the professor said
quietly, turning back to the impa
tient people, castanets clicking,
arm waving.
In the next lull, the professor
spoke hurriedly, "1 took this
job on temporarily 23 years
ago, because I needed money to
be married. I was going to
teach, be a professor, but the
children started coming and
this was steady. Great job if
you like herding sheep."
Tod watched the professor with
sharpened awareness. Herding
sheep. A steady job, but automatic.
No thought, no chance for advance
ment. That’s what Valerie had
wanted him to see.. Was Valerie
afraid he’d end up like the profes
sor?
Thoughtfully, Tod boarded tha
third car, standing as close to
Valerie as the pressure of the crowd
would allow.
"I thought you had to work," she
said coldly.
"I’m going back to college,” he
said, -forgetting the people when he
saw her eyes light up. They shot
past the second floor without stop
ping. "Will you marry me right
away?” he asked.
"Oh, yes," she said and the ele
vator zoomed past the fourth floor
level as he took her in his arms.
And the next thing they knew, the
crowd was shouting, "Sixth
everybody out”

Baseball’s Hall aff Fame
T HE COMPLAINT has come in
from old-timers, who knew their
stars, that certain players must
soqn be taken into the Big Hall, or
be left out for good. There are many
names on the list
that Bob Quinn has
ready for consider
ation. Many of these
will never get in as
they lived and
played too long ago
to be recalled by
most of today’s vot
ers. But certainly
in this list such
Grantland Rice names as A1 Harry
Simmons and Chief Charles Albert
Bender shouldn’t be overlooked.
A1 Simmons’ lifetime big-league
average was around .334, among the
highest in the game. This was over
a long period of time. Simmons has
known years at .392, .390 and .384,
up in Ty Cobb’s figures.
A1 Simmons was the greatest out
fielder Connie Mack ever had on
his nine pennant-winning teams. He
was a great baUplayer, with a
clean personal record.
In the case of Bender, the Chip
pewa Chief, he was one of the great
pitchers of the game.
Many years ago, before Left-
ty Grove came along, Connie
Mack told me that be would
rather have Bender pitch a mll-
lion-dollar game than any pitch
er he had ever had on his team.
The Chief was a great competi
tor. I knew him as far back as
1905, the year he shut out the
Giants in a world series game.
Simmons and Bender certainly
belong. So does Bill Dickey, one
of the game’s greatest catchers,
coupled with Mickey Cochrane at
the top.
Among those still playing who
will have to be taken in later are
Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial and
Ted Williams. There may be others,
but these three are certain to get
strong support. Ajid what about
Hank Greenberg? Or Dizzy Dean?
However, Bob Quinn, now master
of the Hall, is worried over many
others he believes should be con
sidered before time runs out. There
is a definite movement under way
to place the name of the late Dr
Hyland of St. Louis on the honorable
mention list. Dr. Hyland gave a
big part of a. fine career to ball
players and he is sure to get stout
backing in this line.
A Tou^h Query
"Why is it,’’ a fan asks, "that we
had better hitting with the old and
deader ball than we have with the
lively or rabbit ball? Check back
on this. You’ll find that before the
livelier ball came in, the game had
a long list of .400 hitters. I mean
Cobb, Sisler, Hornsby, Jackson, La-
joie, Delehanty, etc. The last two
.400 hitters I recall were Bill Terry
and Ted Williams. We haven’t had
a .400 hitter or even a .390 hitter
in years.”
Hie answer to this is fairly
simple. When Babe Ruth began
to pour bis home runs over the
outlying fences and walls, prac
tically every young hitter shifted
his grip to the end of the bat
and took a full ^ut.
Cobb and most of the other .400
hitters had controlled swings. Cobbs’
hands were well apart He was
able to keep his bat on the ball.
Ruth struck out oftener than any
other' noted hitter.
"The Babe has changed the
game," Cobb said years ago. "Base
ball now is a game of power, more
than skill. There was no use swing
ing full against the ball we bad.
But at least you could place your
hits."
More than a few observers used
to say that Babe could have passed
.400 by shortening his swing, bring
ing it under better control. But this
is something you can’t prove. A
home run was the only dish Babe
cared for. Except on rare occasions
he took his full cut. The same is
true of Ted Williams, who by hit
ting to all fields might reach the
.400 mark again.

A Heavy Jolt
This recent New York basketball
scandal hit all college sports a hard
er jolt than anyone seems to know.
It is generally understood, wheth
er rightly or wrongly, that the New
York explosion was only a small
part of what was happening over the
map.
I have also heard more than a
few also wonder if the same thing
wasn’t happening or could happen
in college football. It could easily,
if not closely watched.
Football's $300,000 and $400,000
gates for single games is far be
yond what the earlier educators
looked for.
When numberless *f eat ball
players help to run a season’s
cost up to $254,00t, you get part
of the answer. There are more
than a few people today who in
sist that If a college plays to
$•,$••, 76,000 and 95,00$ fane
per game, the football player
should get his share.
Don’t think that many a football
player is thinking differently. He’s
human, too.

Shrlno Circa* Lion Kills
Tifcr ns Children Look On
DETROIT — While 3,000 horror,
stricken children looked on et the
opening performflnee of the Shrine
circus, e lion end tiger tangled in
a savage to the death fight.
The jungle beasts began to fight
as Cylde Beatty, veteran animal
trainer, was completing the final
number of big act.
A lion, new to the show, sudden
ly jumped from his perch and
pounced on a performing female
tiger. He sank his teeth in her
back.
Beatty fired blank cartridges at
close range in e futile effort to drive
the animals apart The wounded
tiger finally pulled loose end crept
back to its cage. There it dropped
dead.
Beatty said the tiger, Sheba, waa
one of the nation’s top performing
cats. He said the lion would re
main in the act.
Later a troupe of bears, excitea
by the smell of blood in the cen
ter ring, had difficulty in perform
ing their stunts. Otherwise the cir*
eus completed its program.
