That is, first of all, pleasant place in which to work and live. The towns which realize this and act on the Idea will be In favorable position. Things most needed over the country generally are better health services, clinics, hospitals, park spaces and swimming pools; new Jobs to take the place of those that are being eliminated by farm machinery, ma-chinery, and more opportunities for small farming on a family-supporting basis. Devise New Projects. Among the practical projects that have been devised are rural homesteads home-steads for industrial workers, other types of homesteads for young rural couples wishing to get land and make a start in small farming, new rural industries like seed testing, poultry killing, alfalfa and sweet potato po-tato dehydrating, mechanical 'repairs 're-pairs and upkeep for farm machinery machin-ery and electrical installations in rural homes, and various cooperative coopera-tive projects, like machinery pools, creameries, canning and other processing proc-essing enterprises. To keep the rural economy stabilized stabi-lized and to help the small farm families survive in the competition with big-scale farming, is a national policy to which congress long has been committed, and which is supported sup-ported by churches, farm federations federa-tions and political parties. The. farm is the seed bed of the nation, say the population specialists special-ists and the rural economists. From the farm come many of the men and women of tomorrow. The cities never have replaced themselves and are not doing so now. The rural institutions that have been outmoded should have the attention of the whole rural community. Over the country generally, everything from churches to mercantile systems needs overhauling, and there should be considerable education ed-ucation about what a modern rural community should undertake under-take to do for its people. The idea that the small town has new and important functions should be planted at once in the communities communi-ties that are determined to catch up with the trends, and should be emphasized em-phasized by repetition until the citizens citi-zens are convinced they should do something about it. Seeing Is Believing. To get the rural community out of its obsolescence and persuade it to catch up with farming progress, the whole people, youth and adults, must be made to see community deficiencies. de-ficiencies. They will not see until they are made to take a lock. This Is going to take tact, persistence and energetic leadership. To help develop and direct such leadership is one of the objects of the agencies backing the rural life movement This movement will be described in the next article In this series.

Eddie Dyer got the shock of his me when he returned to St Louis ViC"""- last spring to find Stan Musial a sick M. man and the better part of his pitching t a f f, including Howie Pollet Bnd Murry Dickson, unfit un-fit for winning action. Through the first weeks of the season a team that looked to be the pick of both leagues Couldn't heat tVia Crab Apple Blues from the Fried Chicken circuit. Musial, normally a .360 hitter, hovered around the .150 mark for several weeks. Pollet still had a kink in his left shoulder and Dickson was about as bad. Schoendienst couldn't hit and Terry Moore was Jame. So In place of Jumping the gun and taking an early lead, the odds-on favorites were parked in last place. From this dismal start the Cardinals moved Into second place, but the Dodgers had too much of a lead to cut down. The Cardinals are not getting any younger. But they are still a much better ball club than they looked to be for most of last year. They still have Country Slaughter one of the best They still have Musial and Marion. Whitey Kurowski may be fading, but he is still a valuable man. Terry Moore is over the hilL one of the star outfielders of all time. The pitching staff is the main problem. But Red Munger has the stuff to be a 25-game winner. Dyer rates Munger one of the best pitchers he ever has handled. He will be a better pitcher next season that he was last year. Jim Hearn, the ex-Georgia Tech star, will be one of the best next campaign at least he should be. Joe Garagiola and Del Rice are two good catchers. But to beat out the Dodgers and the Braves the Cardinals still need help another good infielder, at least one more good outfielder and two good pitchers. The Dodgers should be even better bet-ter and so should the Braves. Dyer has two tough teams to roll back, two improving teams who have more youth and more speed. Best Heavyweight Fights In the wake of the last heavyweight heavy-weight fight between Joe Louis and Joe Walcott, the battle of the Joes, there is still a hum of gossip concerning con-cerning the best of all the heavyweight heavy-weight fights. The records show there haven't been too many such thrilling encounters. , The top of all time was the Demp-sey-Firpo, two-round, hurly-burly in New York that never had an equal where a million dollars and the title were hanging on two or three seconds. This was the Big BrawL more than 20 years ago. Before this, the meeting between be-tween Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries Jef-fries had all the thrills and aU the color that anyone could ask for. Corbett, far in front, had the fight won until Jeffries finally final-ly nailed him. But most of the heavyweight fights have been on the drab side. Corbett had no trouble against Sullivan. His battle against Bob Fitzsimmons was entirely different. Here was another thriller with Corbett well in front until Fitz nailed him in the so-called solar plexus, in the 14th round. Jeffries Jef-fries had little trouble with Fitz later on. Then Jeffries retired. From that point on, there was no sizzling action. Jeffries was a fat. bald-headed starter against Jack Johnson at Reno. Johnson was a weary, disgruntled fighter against Willard in Havana, and Willard was a set-up for Dempsey at Toledo. Dempsey was a big thrill until he started meeting boxers. He was wrecking all the heavyweights until he ran across Tom Gibbons and Gene Tunney, where in 35 rounds he had only one knockdown. Killing punchers don't care for good boxers. They never have and they never will. A hard puncher can't get set against a good boxer who knows how to handle himself and keep out of the road. Harry Greb could have done better bet-ter against any heavyweight than he could against a Tiger Flowers, or some smaller, faster opponent Greb loved the slower moving targets. He met such fine heavyweights as Gibbons Gib-bons and Tunney. until he began going blind. He wanted Dempsey but Jack never wanted Greb. joe Louis has had trouble m the past with Tommy Fair. Godoy and Bob Pastor. But Joe also has taken part in more than one fantastic contest con-test His finest fight was the second Max Schmeling encounter. Louis has had several exciting excit-ing contests because he couldn't ooite absorb a right-hand punch U, the head. This has seemed to be his only weak point He always al-ways came back, but he waa still to treoble. Just how be would have made eut against jack Dempsey to something 1 wouldn't know. 4 s, t V ITS COME TO THIS IN PALESTINE . . .

Internal Parasites Cut Yield of Wool Year-Rcund Control Program Advocated Most of the emphasis on parasite control in sheep has been tied up with faster gains, better lamb carcasses car-casses and prevention of damage to the intestinal walls of the animal. Attention of sheepmen now is being be-ing directed to the effect of internal Producers must be Insect free. parasites on the yield of wool. Michigan State college ls urging Bock owners in that state to treat animals with phenothiazine to keep them in good condition and to get a heavier growth of wool Phenothiazine Pheno-thiazine is administered as a drench or in pellets, or mixed with salt and kept before the flock all the time. A dependable year-round program calls for individual treatment of all animals in fall and spring, and use of the phenothlazine-salt mixture throughout the pasture seasoa This Is the program being followed by progressive sheepmen to keep parasites para-sites in check. Soil Needs Nitrogen How lime, clover and crop residues resi-dues increase the soil's nitrogen and arganic matter supply and thus boost crop yields, is shown by the chart below. This drawing summarizes summar-izes results of tests at the Dixon soil experiment field by University of Illinois agronomists. All three plots in the tests were limed and the crop rotation on each included corn, oats and wheat One plot had no clover. The small grain straw was removed and the cornstalks were burned. This plot produced a four-year average of 57 bushels per acre. The second plot had the same UME-NO CLOVEQ CORNSTALK BURNED. COQN-57 BU. UME-6WEET CLOVER CORNSTALKS BURNED. C0BN-8IBU.

The increased nitrogen and organic matter from the clover boosted the corn yield 24 bushels. On the third plot, sweet clover was grown and in addition the cornstalks, corn-stalks, oats straw and wheat straw were returned to the soil The extra organic matter, nitrogen and other plant foods thus saved and returned In the crop residues gave the soil "what it takes" to yield 88 bushels of corn per acre. High Milk Producers Required for Profit The size of the milk wells is a true measure of the size of the milk veins. This diagram of the udder structure by Clemson Agricultural college shows the udder structure in detail. If the end of the vein is forked, two or three milk wells often may be found on either side. A good mammary system is indicated indi-cated by a large udder, which gets its capacity in length and width rather than excessive depth, extending extend-ing well up behind and forward. New Seed Disinfectant Suggested for Cotton Ceresan M seed disinfectant ls being recommended for use against numerous seed-borne and soil-borne crop diseases, including seed-borne anthracnose, angular leafspot seed decay and seedling damping-off of cotton.
