WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Tests With Homemade Paint Are Suggested Many farmers are using a homemade paint of mortar coloring and used motor oil on barns and outbuildings. Some get good results, but others do not, says Howard M. Ellis, extension agricultural engineer. He suggests that some experimenting be done. Ordinarily, Ellis says, from s to one pound of brick red mortar coloring will be required for each gallon of used oil. The blacker the oil, the more coloring it will require. Determine the proper mix as follows: Divide one pound of red mortar coloring into four parts. Mix in two parts (one-ha- lf pound) of the coloring, slowly, while the oil is being stirred. .Paint a small section on the back of the building to be painted. Add another fourth of the mortar, coloring to the original mixture and paint a second section beside the first. Repeat with the last fourth. Allow the oil to penetrate the wood for a time, inspect and then decide which mix you desire. Ellis says the homemade paint can be applied with an old orchard sprayer or with whitewash brushes. Mortar coloring is about six cents per pound at hardware stores. Crankcase drainings may be obtained free from some filling stations. three-fourth- 'J Advises Rest for Cows After Every Lactation A dairy cow that is allowed a rest period after each lactation will produce from 5 to 10 per cent more milk annually than a cow that is CHEERFUL CHERU5 Im sure tke. power to succeed L in V3 if wed it jwey. 3vcces5 is beincr give, Art ktppv (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.)

Wayne Food Shortage in Europe This Winter Means Thousands Are Doomed to Starve In Most of Areas Occupied by Nazis; U. S. Court Obtains Spy Confessions By GEORGE C. CRANDALL Sanitation on the turkey range is an important point in good management of growing poults. Here are four points vital to good range conditions. Check your turkey range now to see if it comes up to the desired standards. First, the range area should not have been used by other poultry for at least two years. The land should not be contaminated by drainage water or poultry manure, and should be well drained and free from swampy areas. Second, all feed hoppers should be so constructed as to exclude the droppings of the turkeys. The feed hoppers should be moved at least once a week to a clean place on the range. This helps to maintain good range conditions and avoids bare spots on the range. Third, watering equipment should be so constructed or protected so that the dropping or foreign matter cannot contaminate . the water. If the water equipment is stationary, wire platforms will keep the area around them dry and sanitary. Water pans or troughs should be scrubbed with a brush once daily. Disinfecting all water equipment at regular intervals is desir-'ablIf the equipment is not stationary, it should be moved weekly to dry, clean places on the range. Fourth, if the turkeys are allowed on open roosts on the range, this roosting area should be fenced separate from the range and so placed that the drainage from the .roosting pens does not contaminate the range. The turkeys should be driven from the roosting area early in the morning and not allowed access to them until roosting time at night. By What Price a Mad World! Service.

FOOD: For Conquered agreed that the coming winter will find starvation walkMost were ing the lands of conquered Europe. Germany took the bull by the horns by stating her position clearly. Not only, said Berlin, was Germany not going to feed the hungry in conquered Europe, but she felt at complete liberty to feed herself from the stores of conquered countries. If anybody was to feed conquered nations, let Britain and the United States, who control the seas, do it, declared Berlin. As long as this was the declared Nazi policy, it was a certainty that the United States and Britain would do no feeding of these populations, for if the food was sent over, Germany felt at liberty to feed herself with it. The food would just be going into enemy hands and doing no good to the starving millions, it has been held. Assuming that the Russians in conquered sections of the Ukraine had not been able to flee, but had been able to burn their wheat, as seemed likely from general reports from the area from both sides, then there were a few million Ukrainians in danger of starvation within the shortest possible time. Nor were the people in France, Norway, and the low countries in any better condition, and with the exception of the Rumanians, the Hungarians and the Croats, reportedly fighting with the German arms, and the Finns, coming down from the north into Russia, most of Europe was going to be hungry. I talked with a Russian refugee from Paris, who had been conquered by the Germans but escaped to this country by a devious route, and he told of the French people eating dogs, cats any meat they could get their hands on. Starvation already was stalking the land in August, he said, when he escaped via Lisbon. Medical men said this hunger would not point definitely to revolt, however, for starving people soon lose their ability to fight or to resist ,even the inroads of their own hunger. Starvation carries with it only apathy, finally coma and then death, they declared. milked continuously, sayg Dr. George E. Taylor, extension dairyman at the New Jersey college of agriculture, Rutgers university. There are several reasons why this is true, he says. During peak production, cows secrete more nutriments than they are able to assimilate from the feed consumed, thus depleting the body reserve. By storing a reserve of fat and minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, in the body before freshening they are able to maintain a higher level of production following calving. The udder also undergoes a change during the dry period, resulting in a recuperation of the glandular milk secreting tissue.

Premier complete mobilization of the coun-tr- y. Konoye said 'Japan is facing the greatest crisis in her history, and a total mobilization of the nation is necessary to overcome the emergency. This statement was a far cry from his July 30 position that all Japan wanted was peace and prosperity in the Pacific, to close out the China affair, and to be friendly with the United States. Dispatches from Washington said that diplomatic advices had been sent to Tokyo, probably the cause of Konoye s action, stating that this country was going to stand firm on its right to send lease-len- d aid to Russia through Vladivostok, and to continue to send such aid as long as peaceful relations exist between Russia and Japan. The same day Nichi Nichi, influential Japanese paper, defied the United States to place any obstacle in Japans rightful sea routes in the name of freedom of the seas. It continued: Japan will 'not hesitate to take steps against any obstacle such as this. Complicating the issue at about the same time were two Russian seaplanes, carrying 47 Soviet airmen, flying over the Bering sea on their way to Washington to join the Russian mission to this nations capital. While Moscow disclaimed anything but a peaceful intent for this trip, another Japanese paper, the Times and Advertiser, took alarm at it, stating it was an effort to establish a warplane service between the United States and Russia. This newspaper said that Japan felt itself now encircled by the British and Americans on the south, through these countries aid to China and the Dutch East Indies, and that any effort to encircle Japan on the north would be a matter for grave study. SPIES: First Trial News readers turned their eyes to New York where 19 out of 33 members of an alleged German spy ring went on trial on charges of espionage. The other 14 pleaded guilty, which made it improbable that the full story of their guilt would be told. But the trial of the 19, prosecutors in the federal court said, would unfold ramifications beyond belief. U. S. Attorney Kennedy said that much of the information in the possession of the prosecution had been obtained from those who had pleaded guilty. sian defenders of Leningrad had before them the question of a siege of the city itself, and the problem of whether they could hold the attackers back until cold weather comes to their rescue. Like northern New England, Leningrad weather is described as nine months of winter and three months of early spring, and this spring-tid- e has now given way to the autumnal rains, which will shortly be supplanted by winters heavy snows. h The campaign at the beginning of the war demonstrated that mechanized warfare doesnt pan out so well in the snow and ice, and the Reds are hoping that if they can hold out through the rest of this month, theyll get a progressive breathing spell along the whole front that will permit American aid to materialize, and a reorganization of their defense. It was evident, not only from the Soviet but from the German communiques that the Russians were putting up a magnificent resistance all along the line, that Budennys army got across the Dnieper without being completely knocked out as the Germans had forecast, and that General Timoshenko in the center is carrying on a protracted and more or less successful counter offensive, while Voroshiloff on the north is holding the attacking Germans and Finns back as long as he can, while keeping his armies generally intact. Berlin dispatches told of Russians Russo-Finnis- every foot of ground, and halting the spearhead advance of the Nazi forces to only a couple of miles or so a day. Moscow said that first reports of a separate peace with the Finns were premature and inaccurate, yet this might have meant simply that the Russian negotiations with Finland had fallen down, and that the Finns had decided to stick with the Nazis and carry through. Some observers had thought that as soon as the Finns reached the Russian frontier, and had recaptured all the old Finnish territory that Russians had taken over at the beginning of the war, they would probably quit, or be glad to negotiate for contesting DEPARTMENT.

GASOLINE: Still a Fight The gasoline shortage ip the eastern section of the United States still was in the controversy stage, with much of the muddle being discussed in print, and revealing how hopelessly confused lgislators, administrators and oil oprators were with regard to each other and the problem itself. Some filling station operators wanted to close down, said they were forced out of business. Others wanted a price rise of a cent a gallon. Others wanted a government subsidy. Still others said they were getting along 0. K. Some oil suppliers said there was no shortage, others wanted barges built, still others wanted 17,500 idle tank cars used, and yet the Washington authorities said they couldnt find the cars. The railroads offered to cut the tank car rate 50 per cent, from 5 cents a gallon to 2 cents, and the big oil companies pointed out that the tanker rate was one cent a gallon, though this was difficult to figure because practically all the tankers are owned by the companies themselves and they need figure no profit. Meantime, three pipeline propositions were milling around, trying to get ready to start, while several senators and congressmen, including Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, charged bureaucratic blundering.
