Seoul, Korea, April 23. The
Commander of the U. S. Eighth
Army in Korea—General James
Van Fleet—has issued a state-
ment of confidence in U.N. pow-
er on the anniversary of last
year’s spring offensive by the
Reds. '
Van Fleet told the Associated
Press that if the Reds tried an-
other such spring drive, it would
be finished by the Allied forces
very probably further north than
the present static line.
But the Reds showed little sign
of activity today. Only a few
probing attacks were reported
along the front. And in the air,
American Sabre Jets ran into no
opposition during their attacks on
Red supply lies in North Korea.
The Allies are breaking up the
prisoner of war camp on Koje
Island, the scene of two recent
violent riots. About 6,000 pris-
oners already have been moved
from the island off the southern
coast of Korea. In the future,
Koje apparently will be used as a
stronghold for die-hard Reds.

received that corn seed was rot-
ting in the ground because of ex-
cessive moisture.
This was a strange turn, since
the lack of rainfall the past two
springs has hampered the early
growing period.
George Pool, assistant county
agent, said: "A good many have
planted corn,” Som* farmers fat
silage crops. What's more, you
harvest your crop in an easy,
speedy trip through the field to
hold muscle-work and costs to
rock-bottom.
Chopping hay stretches your
crop by making all of it palatable.
Converting it to grass silaga not
only makes a nutritious, econom-
ical ration for your livestock, but
enables you to save your hay
crop when bad weather threat-
ens.
And, the John Deere can be
quickly converted for harvesting
row crops. Sm us for details.
