DAIRY FARMERS SALl'TED—June is dairy month
in Texas by official proclamation of Gov. Beauford H.
Jeter. The proclamation is a tribute to 338.000 c'airy
farmers in Texas who own 1,.400,000 milrli cows,
valued at 8150,000,000 and which produced four and
ituc-half billion pounds of milk in 1946 with p. net
value of $100,000,000. During the past 20 years Texas
has advanced from twentieth to eighth place in value
of dairy products.
With Gov. Jester, seated, when the proclamation
wan issued were, left to right, Henry Mofeller of San
Antonio, state chairman for dairy month: Mayer
Wendell Mayes of Brownwoad; Mayor R. J. Kroeger
of Harlintren; milk producer Hardy N. Hay of Route

COLLEGE STATION, June 25
—Better methods of harvesting,
curing and storing could mean
a big rise :n the quality of hay
that is produced on Texas farms
at this ser.son eveiy year.
The th.K* of harvesting a hay
crop, say* E. A. Miller, Extension
agrono mist of Texas A. and M.
College, has more to do with
turning out good hay than many
producers realize. When the crop
is allowed to get too ripe, it be-
comes coarse and loses a great
deal of its feed value, especially
protein. Sudan grass and John-
son grass need cutting as soon as
the first seed heads begin to form,
or even earlier, to get a bale
rich in feed value, says Miller.
Producers hav.: found that alfal-
fa makes the richest hay if cut
when the field is about one-tenth
t(j one-fourth in bloom. Sweet
clover, the agronomist says, is
best cut before it begins to loom.
Curing has a lot to do with the
way hay turns out, too. Grass
hay may be left in the swath un-
til fairly well cured, Miller ex-
plains, but legume hay, like al-
falfa, clovers, and cowpeas, will | rv • f*
suffer a big loss of leaves through j 0301001110 LOttOf!
shattering if it is not raked into1 3 *
windrows soon after cutting. The
leaves contain most of the feed
value, the agronomist says, so
,it's the wise farmer who gets his
legume hay shocked before the
leaves begin to shatter.

Dusting Sulfur
Will Prevent Rot
Oi Peaches, Plums
Ordinary Dusting Sulfur will
prevent peaches ancl plums from
rotting on the trees, says M. H.
Brown, Jr., County Agriculture
Agent.
When nearly ripe peaches and
plums "freckle" and a few days
later rot on the trees, the disease
"brown rot" is in full swing and
doing its greatest damage. By
either dusting or spraying the
fruit with sulfur this disease can
be checked until the fruit can
be harvested. "Gf course, Brown
continues, "this is no control for
the trouble, but it will allow most
of the peaches to ripen on the
tree without rotting before they
can be picked. Only a complete
spray schedule throughout the
year will entirely eleminate the
disease. Care should be taken
while applying sulfur to see that
all fruit is covered with it. The
disease is on the fruit and not on
the leaves of the tree. This treat-
ment will not prevent worms
damage, because they are already
in the inside of the peaches.

Milk Distributors
In Texas Under
Investigation
AUSTIN, Tex., June 24 (UP)—
Milk distributors in Texas were j
under investigation by the At-
torney General's Department to-
day in a search for evidence of
anti-trust law violations.
Latest request for an inquiry
came from state Rep. Jim Wright
of Weatherford asserting that
Dallas and Fort Worth distribu-
tors had practices and combina-
tions in restraint of trade.
Creation of an artificial short-
age of milk by setting up quotas
and refusing to buy more milk
than the quota from dairymen
was basis of Wright's complaint,
he said.
Gear This Week
DALHART, Tex., June 25 (UP)
—The big wheat harvesting push
in this grain area of Texas was
expected today to hit high gear
late this week or early next week
with the first wheat adready in
the elevator at Hartley, 15 miles
southeast of here.
Henry Cullender, manager of
the Farmers' Supply Co. Elevator
said that most of the 1,600 bush-
els of Hartley County wheat al-
ready in came from Johnny
Bookout's farm near Hartley and
that most of it averaged about
15 per cent. He said, however,
that some brought in by A. L.
Clanton of Channing was down
to 11 per cent.

Corn Prices Reach
All Time High
$2 A Bushel
CHICAGO, Jupe 25 —(UP) —
The price of corn for delivery in
July soared to a new all-time
high on the Chicago Board of
Trade today for the second day
in ;i row.
The price closed at $2.02 a bush-
el, highest for a futures contract
in the board of trade's 99-year
history. Yesterday's all time high
was $2.01ft.
It was the third time In two
weeks that the previous high
set in 1919 had been topped.

cape possible Communist perse-
cution.
CORN OUTLOOK:
Even Chance
Although seriously handicapped
by a late start, the nation's corn
crop is still given an even chance
for a gooa yield and to mature
ahead of frost at normal dates.
Experienced grain men who ex-
press that opinion do not predict
how far the acreage actually plant-
ed will fall below previous inten-
tions, but the reduction, they say,
may be surprisingly light. Many
farmers have been planting in be-
tween rainy spells tnd some have
been working day and night.
In sections where fields have been
drowned out by floods it is probable
that there will be no replanting be-
cause the land would not dry out in
time.
On the basis of March reports,
farmers intended to plant 87,600,000
acres in corn, but it is not likely
now that the planted acreage will
be much more than 85 million
acres. Based on the record 1946
yield of 37.1 bushels an acre, such
an area would produce a crop of
approximately 3.15 billion bushels
of corn. Last year's record produc-
tion was 3.2fi billion bushels.
Greatest need now is warm
weather and sunshine to stimulate
growth of tiie corn.
VENGEANCE:
Chetniks Return
Three important Yugoslavian offi-
cials—members of the Communist
court which condemned Gen. Draja
Mihailovitch to death in Belgrade
last year—have mysteriously disap-
peared recently.
They are believed to have been
kidnaped in a resurgence of anti-
communist activities by the Yugo-
slav Chetniks whom General Mi-
hailovitch led in their wartime
operations against the Nazis.
Travellers arriving in Istanbul
from the Balkans claim that the fol-
lowers of Mihail-
o v i t ch, whom
were thought to
have been stamp-
ed out by Mar-
shal Tito's Parti-
sans alter the

their leader, are
steadily gaining
strength in their
mountain strong-
holds. They are
said to be capi-
talizing on the

forces, are reported to be either

GASLESS:
Crisis Soon
Moving swiftly toward a crisis,
the nation's petroleum shortage
may result la thousands of motor-
ists being deprived of gasoline be-
fore the end of July, according to a
department of Interior prediction,
"Government rationing of gaso-
line, however, Is unlikely," a de-
partment spokesman said, "but it
may be necessary for oil men to in-
stitute their own rationing system."

His Objections
These were President Tru-
man's principal objections
against the tax reduction bill:
1. It was unsafe from the
standpoint of government fi-
nances.
2. Tax reduction now would
heighten Inflationary trends.
3. It would add to, rather than
correct, maladjustments in (he
economic structure.
4. Surplus income should he
used to reduce public debt llrst.
5. The bill was unfair in that
it did not give "a greater por-
tion of relief to lower income
groups."
6. If the bill were approved,
those inequities would be frozen
into the tax system and not
readily subject to change.
from 10 to 30 per cent beginning
July 1 and would have given an
extra $500 exemption to persons 65
or older
Mr. Truman pointed out that
sound fiscal policy requires existing
tax rates to be maintained for the
present. However, ho promised that
he would recommend appropriate
tax cuts when the right time comes.
He indicated that surplus govern-
ment revenue would be applied to-
ward reduction of the public debt.
It was the Republican plan to divide
the surplus between debt reduction
and tax reduction.
AIR SAFETY:
Report Asked
Deeply concerned over commer-
cial (lying safety. President Tru-
man has named a five-man board of
experts to study recent disastrous
airline crashes and submit recom1
mendations on what the President
and congress should do to promote
air transportation safety.
Mr Truman took this action two
days after a Capital Air Lines plane
hurtled into a Blue Ridge mountain
spur neir Leesburg, Va., killing all
50 persons aboard. The l.eesburg
accident was the latest of three
major commercial plane crashes in
three weeks in which 146 persons
were killed.
James M. Landis, chairman of
Civil Aeronautics board, will head
the special commission. Other
members are: Dr, Jerome C. Hun-
saker, chairman of national advi-
sory committee for aeronautics;
Theodore P. Wright, civil aeronaut-
ics administrator; Milton W. Ar-
nold. retired brigadier general, and
H. B, Cox. pilot for American Air-
lines.
In a letter appointing the board,
the President said that he is
"deeply concerned" over air trans-
portation safety and wants the re-
cont disasters studied to determine
how the findings in the crashes can
be utilized to advance air safety.
WALLACE:
'Would fright'
Back in Washington after a two-
month speaking tour across the na-
tion, Henry Wallace pointed out em-
phatically that the United States
and Great Britain "would light" it
Soviet expansion ever reaches the
point where it threatens the rich oil
fields in Saudi Arabia.
Russia must be told, he said, that
such expansion would be resisted by
American and British arms.
He revealed that he looked upon
Russian expansion as a menace to
world peace and that a boundary
should be drown as a limit to Soviet
territorial advancement. The bound-
ary, Wallace said, should be Tur-
key, which he characterized as the
queen in a chess game between the
major world powers.
The former vice-president said
that Saudi Arabian oil should be
made available to Russia and other
nations as a move to secure world
peace, adding that Russia has the
right to share Middle East oil.
GIFT HORSE:
Danger Seen
Serious impairment of the no-
tion's economic stability mny result
if the United States continues to
"over • export" Its resources and
keeps up the present rate of foreign
gifts and loans, Herbert Hoover,
former Republican president, has
warned.
"The greatest danger to all civili-
zation" is the possibility that the
United States will hprm its econ-
omy "by drains which cripple our
own productivity," Hoover said in
a letter to Chairman Bridges (Rep.,
N. H.) of the senate finance com-
mittee.
He pointed out that an excess of
almost eight billion dollars of
American.exports over Imports has
contributed to the inflationary spi-
ral at home.
"Unless this one remaining Gi-
braltar of economic strength is
maintained, chaos will be inevitable
over the whole world," he said.
Hoover's statement, together with
a similar cautionary note by Sen.
Arthur Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.),
were construed as representing a
Republican demar<d for a thorough
assessment of this country's econ-
omy before foreign aid decisions
are made.
HOUSING:
Tough All Over
Shortage of housing Isn't a prob-
lem peculiar to America. They have
plenty of grief along that line in
India, too.
In Bombay, which has a popula-
tion of two and one-half million,
there are 350,000 men, women and
children who have no place like
home. They sleep, eat, cook, bathe
and carry on their sundry other
household activities on the sidewalk
or street.
Fortunate by contrast are another
million and a quarter residents who
jam together in one-room tenement
quarters with an average of six per-
sons to a room. Sometimes as many
as 20 are found living in a single
room, including two, three or four
separate families.
Bombay's housing shortage is a
hangover from the war, when the
city's population doubled because it
was an industrial center which re-
mained free from Axis attacks.
Death Threat
Advice Given on
Using Potatoes
As Feed for Cows
COLLEGE STATION, June 25
—Folks all over are asking about
the practice of using potatoes as
feed for dairy cows.
Extension dairymen at Texas
A. and M. College are telling
them that spuds are satisfactory
in a dairy ration if fed in limited
amounts, as a substitute for grain
or other feed.
Sometimes, say the dairymen,
cows may choke on the potatoes,
but this can be remedied if the
dairymen will slice or chop the
vegetables before feeding. Pota-
toes are not the most tasty feed
a cow can get, and she needs to
become aceustomed to them grad-
ually. Feeding too large amounts
of potatoes may cause scours.
When fed at the rate of 24 to
40 pounds per head daily, the
spuds are a good substitute for
com silage, the dairymen say.
Even at that, the animals will
probably lose their appetite for
the vegetable after several
months.
Siestas Interrupt Paraguay Civil War

he described war as being akin to

AROUND AGATN:
W orld Flight
Milton Reynolds, holder of the
round-the-world Hying record, has
announced that he will sponsor an-
other globe-girdling trip on August
1 which will cross both the North
and South poles.
Reynolds himself, however, will
not make the flight. A new Bomb-
shell—name of his world record
plane—which will be a B-32, similar
to the wartime B-29, will be used
for the jaunt.
"Part of the flight over the South
pole will be over territory never
explored, and the new Bombshell
will be a veritable flying laboratory,
including radar altimeter equip-
ment to deterrrWne the height of
mountains and other terrain fea-
tures over which the ship must

Estimated distance of the flight Is
25,502 miles, provided a refueling
stop is permitted in Siberia. Flying
time is expected to be 100 to 110
hours.
REBIRTH:
A New Lidice
Lidice, the Czechoslovakian vil-
lage which Gestapo troopers ruth-
lessly erased from existence in
June. 1942, is taking its first, slow,
painful steps toward restoration.
Five years and five days after the
Nazis destroyed the little town with
its population of 500 persons, a
group of British miners set a gray
block of granite Into place as the
cornerstone of a new Lidice.
Of the old town nothing is left ex-
cept a great eross of weatherbeater
timber and crown of thorns mark-
ing the mass grave where the
bodies of 178 village men were
dumped by the Germans who hac
shot thSm to death.
Attending the ceremony of laying
the cornerstone were 140 women,
robed in mourning, and a few chll
dren—sole survivors of the orlgina
village. After the men were shot or
that June day In 1S42, the womet

Caution in Using
Electric Iron Urged
COLLEGE STATION, June 20
—Among the items that help
start household fires as the house-
wife goes about her daily tasks,
the electric iron ranks up among
the worst of them.
Ordinarily the blame can't be
put on the iron, but on the per-
son who goes off for a few min-
utes and forgets to turn it off.
Home management specialists
of the Texas A. and M. College
Extension Service say that if a
housewife is really safety-mind-
ed, she will not only turn off
her iron when she leaves it, but *,♦
will disconnect it as well, even
if she leaves only for a few min-
utes.
"Octopus connections" — sev-
eral electrical connections from
one outlet—are another serious
household fire hazard, the spec-
ialists say. A safe rule is to make 4
only one or two connections
from an outlet and avoid the use
of extension cords except as tem-
porary wiring.
Other electrical "dont's" around
the house are: don't hang exten-
sion 'cords over nails, or run
them through doors or under-
neath rugs; don't use worn cords
on lamps and appliances; don't
let clothing, draperies, or other
inflammable materials come too
close to light bulbs.
