It is dead sure to furnish the hottest race ir years in locatin the most valuable ballplayer the on who has renderec greatest service tc his mates. There are certainly five men worth consid-eration Ted Wil-liams and Verne Stephens of the Red ELUL Sox Joe DiMaggic 0 the Yankees Lou Boudreau of He Indians and Stan Musial of the Cardinals. Yet their averages are ride apart in many respects. In this group Williams, Musial Boudreau all have been hit-ti- nj over .360 most of the year. DiMafgio ni Stephens have teen under .300. Yet the effec- -l tire play t DiMaggio and Stepaens lists them high up, practically on even terms with those having far higher batting iterages. The hottest race will be in th American league when it comes tc naming the most helpful star. Stan Musial should take over the Nati-onal league selection with several kilometers to spare. Keller's Good Nature You can get an idea of Charlie Keller's type from this Incident. ' When they wanted to give him a "Keller Day." the Yankee outfield- - er insisted that all receipts taken in be used for a Maryland univers-ity scholarship for some needy joaih. That would be Charlie Keller's my. The Yankee outfielder gradu-ated from Maryland 11 years ago, came to Newark in 1937 and reporte-d to the Yankees in 1939. He was not only a great ballplayer at Maryla-nd but also an honor student and cue o( the most popular fellows on the Maryland campus. I asked him once where be got that pair of hands the most powerful looking I'd seen in baseball. "Milking 12 eowr erery morning," Charlie said with a grin. Keller was born In Middletown, Kd., in September, 1916, some 32 jears ago. He came from the right state as a slugger the state that lave the game Babe Ruth, Jimmy Fon and Home-Ru- Baker. In his first year with the Yankees, Keller tit 334 and followed this with a id series mark of .438. Except for the roughest luck you can cagine, he could have been one of fte greatest power men of the .same.

All three were riding together near Lexing-ton- , Va., when arrested for speed-- The policeman, proceeding to book them, asked their nameu "Robert E. Lee IV," replied the first student. It happened that he was telling the truth. The traffic cop looked up qmzz.cally, but wrote the name down, then asked for the next name Carter Glass III," was the The cop wrote the name down then queried the third student "What's yours?" "Fred M. Vinson Jr.," replied voung Vinson. "Then my names' Napoleon," exclaimed the flustered cop, and let all three boys go. NOTE Mrs. Vinson, wife of the chief justice, suggested to her son that after graduating at Washing- ton and Lee he might want to take his law degree at Yale. A Yale de-gree, she intimated, might give him a better springboard into the legal fraternity. Replied her son: "Little Old Center college (Kentucky) was good enough for dad, wasn't it?" Taxes Go Up in Smoke Brass hats have kept it hushed up, but the air force wasted thou-sands of dollars taking worthless movies of the Bikini atomic-bom- b tests. For some unexplained rea-son, the job was turned over to in-experienced officers. Brig. Gen. Paul Cullen, then a colonel, had charge of the air force camera crews at Bikini. His master-piece was a glorified, technicolor training film called "Able Baker Day," which he sent over to to be edited. But even after the Hollywood experts added their touches, the picture was such a flop and so hostile to the army and navy that it couldn't be shown. Instead the top brass ordered all the extra prints burned, and only two copies kept for the files. Since Cullen had gone ahead and ordered 48 prints, this made an expensive bonfire paid for out of the taxpay-ers' pocket. Cost of the film alone that went up in smoke: 586,000. Since the atomic energy commis-sion had called upon all the armed services to cooperate in filming the Bikini explosions, the navy was working on a similar picture at the same time Cullen was making "Able Baker Day." But Cullen was in such a hurry to finish the air force picture first and scoop the navy that he sent an air force tech nical adviser under the pretense of helping the navy, though with secret instructions to obstruct and delay the navy picture. The air force also made another $50,000 technicolor extravaganza of Bikini, called "Phantom Wings." This smelled so that it also was never shown again. It was produced by Maj. James L. Gaylord whose total photographic background, up to that time, had been as a per-sonnel officer. And here is how the air force has rewarded the two officers, who wasted so much of the taxpayers money: Cullen was promoted from colonel to brigadier general, and Gaylord in spite of his first flop-- was placed in charge of filming the recent super-secr- tests atEniwetok for the atomic energy commission. He was supposed to have finished 24 films by October 1; so far, hap delivered only five. U. S. Army's Prisoners Unfortunately, several thousand U. S. prisoners still remain in U. S. prisons for desertion, crime, or violation of discipline during the re-cent war. Even more tragic, some prisoners have suffered "perma-nent physical impairment" In sol-itary confinement. This was con-fessed in a recent circular issued by the air force inspector general. Meant only for the eyes of the top brass, the circular warned grimly that regulations governing the treatment of these prisoners were "not being com-plied with." "It is essential," the air inspec-tor general stressed, "that pris-oners in solitary confinement on bread and water be given one full meal every three days and that medical authorities examine them daily. "Failure of medical authorities to perform the prescribed examina-tion has, in the past, led to perma-nent physical impairment." Back-to-Far- m Movement Over It looks as though the back-to-far-crowd are all back on the farm or else people have lost in-- ; terest in climbing out of bed at 5 a. m. to till the soil for a living. The department of agriculture has estimated that 27,440,000 peo-ple were living on farms in Janu-ary this year. This compares with 27,550,000 a year earlier. The decrease in farm population oc-curred despite the fact that births to farm residents exceeded deaths by nearly 50,000. Nearly a million persons moved to farms from the city last year. Eut more than 1.5 million moved away from farms. Poultrymen Advised To Retain fill Pullets Culling Hens Is Means Of Increasing Returns To assure top poultry profits dur-ing the winter season, keep an flock. Pullets lay in the fall and winter when egg prices are high. At the same time, old hens are going through their fall molt and consuming 25 to 30 pounds of feed while producing no eggs. In the spring, when old hens re-sume laying, egg prices are down, thus necessitating a very heavy layer f"""w to pay the $1.50 "x feed bill which was ' 'J amassed during the winter months. " (v Old hens may be . , i'1 sold at once or they j may be culled indi- - ' S vidually as they go - out of production. f"""".wi A weekly check of the old hen flock will enable ' the poultryman to cull out the loafers. If an old hen flock is maintained over the winter months, separate housing for pullets and old hens should be provided for best man-agement and disease control. As another step in culling the poultry flock, old roosters also should be eliminated. They serve no useful purpose and eat lots of feed. Some pullets also may have to be culled if the flock is to be main-tained at the desired size for profit-able operation throughout the win- - icr. in iriis case, oniy me Dest po-tential layers should be retained. A good ready-to-la- y pullet is one that is smoothly feathered, plump in body and carries richly pigmented shanks. Pullets so developed can be brought into 50 per cent egg produc-tion without crowding by the time they are six months old. Pullets, however, never should be forced into high production during their first two months of laying. !l; ' K til r ; l , ft ; ... o! ..mti,j, litiytafciim j INTREPID STEEPLEJ ANE . . .

Fertilizer Is Valuable For Succeeding Crops Farmers who think fertilizer costs should be charged off in one year are overlooking carry-ove- r assets that pay long-ter- dividends in big-ger crop yields, according to Middle West Soil Improvement committee. A good feed of fertilizer gives the soil a backlog of plant nutrients that benefit succeeding crops. legume-gras- s crops in any good soil building program leave behind them important carry-ove- r values. Legume-gras- s mixtures fed with plenty of phosphate and potash will add to the soil's organic mat-ter and build soil structure. They will improve tilth, drainage and ventilation. Because of these carry-ove- r bene-fits, agronomists recommend a min-imum of three years for charging off the cost of fertilizer applications. ft " " i , 4 'i 4v r'cf v INVENTORS AND JETCYCLE . . .

Thorough Check of Silo Vill Prevent Wastage Silos will help to assure good use of this year's bumper crop of corn-stalks. To prevent waste of the en-siled crop, however, the silo must be in good condition. Thorough cleaning is the first step, entailing cleaning out the pit and scraping old silage off walls. Walls should be examined for air leaks, using melted paraffin to fill small cracks in mortar joints or be-tween silo staves. |
