Adding a small amount of "start-er" fertilizer at planting time may get corn off to a quick start. But scanty applications often fail to Uj'-- . GOOD STftLKS Rl ' deep-roote- d leg-tim- es grown in rotation will build a reserve of plant food in soil and increase corn yields. provide sufficient nourishment to carry the crop through the season on low fertility soils. Without a reserve of plant food in the soil, the corn crop will starve in midsummer and not have enough nourishment to make ears. The use of fertilizer alone will build corn yields on most farms. But for maximum yields, the farm-er needs to build the soil's tilth structure and organic matter sup-ply. When deep-roote- d legumes are grown regularly in the rotation, the soil is mellowed and conditioned for high corn yields. There are extra reserves of g organic matter avail-able. igDCTSCOPIE MAHC3NEY 1 jjy'"!"I,irrr. ri --r fSZSi SLUGGED TOE JSn THE CHIN Wk 'Will 2.47 OF THEgM MUND,, l rHSlONSHlPS?

A long procession of cars bearing feted marines, returned from Korea under the armed services' rotation plan, proceeds down Montgomery street in San Fran-cisco through the financial district as the city pays homage to the first group of marines returned under the new plan. These men, 774 fighting men along with 400 wounded, are fresh from the Korean war front and are given a welcome that is due heroes. nil fopu'or Gyy "Inch or inch and pound fr o0und, the gamest fish that swims." N That's the tribute paid many k vears ago to the black bass by Dr. Walter HenshaU, a tribute famous !( the lore of bass angling. n uBut jt remained for James Hed-t- o Sons, Dowagiac Mich to Zle up with the most complete li Lsier ever assembled on his mv Jfl Testy the largemouth black bass. " keddon people declare: . An unpredictable, but loveable C scoundrel,- - the largemouth black bass is appropriately called the king I. f American game fish. Its many 't and mixed traits make it the most I tougnt-afte- r game fish in the world. ." f issed together in its makeup are stamina, viciousness, cun-'- ourage, 'versatUity. stubbornness, sb0nanship, fight and-j- ust pure cussedness. f'--' At times it wiU turn from the If most attractive artificial bait to I cobble up a worm or minnow. k Again, it will pass up the most lus-i- fi gob of worms to smash viciously at the homeliest of II plugs ... Due to extensive trans-?"- ! planting, the largemouth is now lound in nearly every state of the P union, Canada and Mexico. Also it xl has been introduced successfully if into France, Germany and South iff. Africa . . . Look for the largemouth 'U i in fresh-wat- lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks and canals.

Perry in Mont-S- ii gomery Lake, Georgia, on June 2, S 1932. It weighed 22 pounds and four gSt ounces. The average size, taking the country as a whole, would be from one to two pounds, but in the south ,!? the average is higher ... No snooty .f aristocrat, the largemouth will please the live-ba- it angler by killing 01 c anything resembling worms, in-- ; b sects, frogs, crawfish, minnows, oic: field mice, small birds, snakes and 1 1 even young muskrats.

H r AAA SPORT LIGHT --1 Stanky, Dark Bear Giants' Load By GRANTLAND RICE saw a redbird winging I beard a bluebird call. I beard above the swinging the crash of bat and ball. I beard a duffer cursing out in the bunkered glen. Could 1 be getting goofy? Could it be spring again? I heard old backbones creaking I saw a double play. I heard the same old alibis come drifting down the way. I saw a duffer kissing his wife good bye and then I knew I had the answer it must be spring again! Where Pennant Strength Is OUR RECOLLECTION of the first ball club we ever saw - goes airecuy to uie mid-infiel- The team happened to be the Chicago Cubs and the two play-ers were Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers. Here was the soul of the g Cubs 45 years ago. The next great ball club was Con- - combinations baseball has known. Dark has been a star at football, baseball and golf. He was the man Greasy Neale wanted for his Eagles some years ago. Stanky at .300 and Dark at .280 give the Giants a good break in infield power, but teaming together on defense they go well beyond this flag contribution. The Dodger Case Against Stanky and Dark, with all they have to offer, Chuck Dres-se- n gives you Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese, just as good pos-sibly, and certainly no better than Stanky and Dark. Robinson will outhit Stanky but Dark will outhit Reese, so when it comes to putting runs across the plate there is little to choose. Both Reese and Robinson belong along the borders of stardom. Of the four I would say that last year Eddie Stanky contributed more to his team's strength than any of the others. He was probably the most valuable ballplayer in his league, although Stan Musial's place is al-ways around the top. A second base-man is in a more vital spot and this spot helps make them. Look over tbe list Eddie Collins, Larry La-joi- e, Frank Frisch, Rogers Hornsby, Johnny Evers, Joe Gordon, Bobby Doerr and many more. The defending Phillies have a good pair in Granny Hamner and Mike Gollat. But Goliat only hit .234 and Hamner, an improving player each season, hit .270. This pair doesn't rate with either Giants or Dodgers. The Cardinals have Marty Marion and Red Schoendienst with Marty and his rickety back always an ele-ment of doubt. Power Builders An innocent bystander, or side-line observer, wants to know how Ted Williams and Ralph Kiner get all the hand and arm power they use in swinging a bat. It might be said they started with better than a fair share of this power and then worked on. Fred Corcoran was telling me about Wi-lliams "Ted has gotten himself a heavy bat," he said. "It is loaded with lead and it isn't too easy to handle." If you've seen Ted Williams swing a bat you have probably no-ticed the great speed he uses in meeting a pitch only a few feet away from the plate. As Fred Cor-coran says "After swinging this bat for a good workout, a or bat feels like a feather. It is Williams' method to wait as long as possible before swinging the ash war club. He wants to be sure a strike is coming before he swings. "This demands keen eyesight, quick reflexes and remarkable hand strength." Grantland Rice nie Mack's - Ath-letics in 1910. Here again the main strength and spirit of this club were Eddie Collins and Jack Barry. The Giants of 1922, one of McGraw's greatest, had Frisch and Bancroft. Here you had an-other brilliant pair. It is around second base that many pen-nants are lost or won and this brings us to the impending pen-nant campaign of 1951 in the National League. In Florida there are two teams generally picked to set the pace in the older league. They are Leo Durocher's Giants and Chuck Dres-sen- 's Dodgers. It might be noted in this "golden land of booze and blooms, this happy land of lush and leisure," that both Giants and Dodgers have Gibraltar-lik- e strength around sec-ond base. The Giants have Eddie Stanky and Alvin Dark. The Dodg-ers have Jack Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. Johnny Evers, the Stanky of his day, was known as "The Human Splinter." Eddie Stanky might be called "The Human Flame." Moving into his 34th year, Eddie has been a profes-sional ballplayer for sixteen sea-sons. Yet he still has more fire than most younger ballplayers and no field ever knew a harder fighter or a greater leader. Stanky is a fine infielder and a .300 hitter, but his team value be-longs much more to the mental or psychological side than to the physi-cal. In Alvin Dark, one of the star athletes of both leagues, the Giants have the type needed to work with Eddie the Flame and give them one of the best infield RURAL MEDICINE Larger Number Of Small Town Students Urged CHICAGO, III. An increase in the number of medical students from rural areas was suggested as a means of increasing the num-ber of physicians practicing in such areas. This might be accomplished either by preferential consideration of applicants from rural commu-nities or by encouraging and as-sisting d students from small towns to attend medical school. This opinion was expressed by Dr. Harold S. Diehl of Minneapolis, dean of the medical sciences, Uni-versity of Minnesota. Dr. Diehl was a speaker at the 47th annual congress on medical education and licensure. The three-da- y meeting was spon-sored by the council on medical education and hospitals of the American Medical Association. Three Groups Listed Dr. Diehl reported the results of a study of the present practice location of 545 graduates of the Uni-versity of Minnesota medical school in relation to the type of community in which they grew up. For the pur-pose of tabulation and analysis, communities were divided in three groups: (1) with a population of less than 5,000; (2) with a popula-tion of 5,000 to 100,000, excluding Rochester, where the Mayo clinic constitutes a special situation; (3) Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth. Of the 199 doctors who grew up in small communities of less than 5,000, 116 returned to small towns to practice, 35 went to towns with a population of 5,000 to 100,000, and 48 went to one of the three large cities. Of the 104 doctors who grew up in towns of 5,000 to 100,000 popula-tion, only 25 went to small towns and rural communities. Of the 242 who were raised in large cities, 53 went into rural community prac-tice. This tabulation, Dr. Diehl pointed out, indicates that the chances of a student brought up in a small town of returning to such a town are more than 2Vz times as great as the chances of a student from a large city going into a small com-munity to practice. Population Trends Cited His study also showed that group one communities, which can be classed as the home towns of America, have 51 per cent of Min-nesota's population, but provide only 36 per cent of the medical students; group two with 18 per cent of population provide 20 per cent of the students, and the three large cities with 31 per cent of the state's population account for 44 per cent of the medical students. "This indicates," Dr. Diehl said, "that medical students of the Uni-versity of Minnesota are drawn somewhat disproportionately from the large cities. This difference, however, is perhaps less than might be expected in consideration of the greater incentives toward profes-sional careers in the large cities and the remoteness of most com-munities of less than 5,000 popula-tion from opportunities for higher education of all types."

As of January it was estimated that Iowa factories turned out 2Vz billion dollars' worth of food prod-ucts, machinery, chemicals, drugs, printed matter and other goods. Sales of farm products in 1950 were estimated at more than $2 billion, but no estimate was as high as $2 billion, even including the value of produce eaten and used on the farm. Factory products frequently nosed farm products out of the number one spot in Iowa's economy between 1924 and 1939, although it usually was r. close race. In 1924, for instance, cash receipts from farm marketings totaled and manufactured products sold for $685,276,088. Farm production is expected to increase in Iowa during 1951, as elsewhere in the nation, but with the increased rearmament program in full swing, factory production ,1 111 I will also increase. ''?

Flock Protectors t ( v - h if t 5 i A pair of fleet-foote- d greyhounds accompany Harold Jamieson, Osh-kos- h, Nebraska, turkey raiser as he inspects part of his flock of 2.000 , broad breasted bronze turkeys. Jamieson explains that the dogs are poison to coyotes which abound in that part of the country, but never bother the turkeys. A pair of huge dogs like these are standard equip-ment with many turkey raisers in southwestern Nebraska. Biblical Paintings Used To Decorate Small Town ESCONDIDO, Calif. Holiday street decorations in the small community of Escondido were prob-ably the most distinctive of all small towns in the United States last year. They consisted of a mile-lon- g series of nearly life-siz- e paintings portraying Biblical scenes that re-lated to the Nativity. The paintings, 45 in number, were done by art students in the adult education di-vision of the Escondido high school. Members of the Escondido min-isterial association served as con-sultants in the project, the aim of which was to provide the commu-nity with Christ-mas decorations. Art class mem-bers spent six months on the paint-ing under the direction of Mrs. Mil-dred Miller, high school art instruc-tor. The paintings were attached to light columns along main street and illuminated at night. With the help, of the clergymen, the scenes were numbered and catalogued, and a booklet was issued giving the Bible passage to which each scene re-ferred.

Neglect of Dental Care Lowers Milk Production Ivan H. Loughary, dairy special-ist, reports too many dairymen neg-lect dental care of their cows. When a cow is about two to three years old, the second set of teeth come in. Occasionally, one or more of these may come in crooked and when this occurs the cow will not eat well and her production is retarded. Proper care by a veterinarian will eliminate this defect in many dairy herds- |
