Warns Finland to Cease Fighting PLAN BOX SILO ON LEVEL LAND Is Good Substitute for the Trench Silo. By E. R. EUDALY (Dairyman, Texas Extension A & M College Service.) Built above ground, a box silo is a substitute for a trench silo in regions where the land is more or less level and where keeping water out of a trench is a problem. To construct such a feed container, build two parallel levees of dirt any height and width desired, then fill between the levees with silage with earth. This some- and cover times is called a trench silo upside down. Two in places where lumber is cheap it might be advisable to build the upside down trench out of lumber and tar paper. This is called a box silo. It is not advisable to build a box of smaller dimensions than four feet between walls, six feet high and 20 feet long. Lesser space between walls would be hazardous since a little spoilage at the edges would be too high a percentage of waste. A minimum height of six feet is suggested because of settling and the possibility of some spoilage on top. If the silage settles a whole lot there might be a high percentage of spoilage. Width and height may be as much as desired beyond the minimum footage as far as keeping of the contents of the silo is concerned. But the width should be regulated according to the number of livestock to be fed, the specialists advise. At least five cows are necessary to obtain the most success from a box silo. The posts should be three feet h lumber apart in the row if is used, but may be as much as 4 h feet apart if using lumber. Shiplap lumber is best for siding, but rough sawed lumber may be used provided it is laid so that the inside of the wall will not be so rough as to break the lining paper. Tar, or asphalt, paper is recommended for covering the inside of the wall, and No. 9 galvanized steel wire, or the equivalent in strength, to tie the posts together at the top. The silage at the open end of the box should slope from the ground to the top of the wall so that the end can be covered with earth. Only two or three inches of dirt may be used provided oats or barley is planted in it, and the earth kept moist until the grain makes enough growth to form a good root system and hold the dirt together to prevent cracking. one-inc- two-inc- expressed In these eolnmns, they (EDITORS NOTE When oplnlena are re those of the news analyst and not neoessarily ot this newspaper.)

Lozovsky called the situation serious, and there was a rumor that Stalin had left Moscow, perhaps heralding its fall. There was little effort on the part of the Russians to minimize the danager of the loss of Moscow, Leningrad or both, with 100 divisions reported moved by the Nazis from occupied countries to the Russian front. Neither did the Russian statements sound panicky, and the armies apparently were intact, in the main. WARNING: To Finland The United States had acted parallel with Great Britain in sending to Finland a stern warning that continuance of the Finnish participation in the Nazi attack on Russia would be considered an unfriendly act. The tragedy of Finland was that of a small country caught between hostile and powerful naturally neighbor empires Germany and Russia. There was little question that, if Russia were to win the war with or without British aid, as Britains partner in the fighting she would demand a return to the frontiers of 1914. Finland was faced with the fact that a German victory would leave Finland enslaved, and that a Rus will come out in good condition.

Yet it had become apparent that Russian defense ideas were not basically founded on a defense of the Crimea, but that the Reds considered Rostov as the entrance to the Caucasus, and would hold as hard there as possible, perhaps as successfully as at Moscow and Leningrad. There had been no indication that the Nazis early prediction of collapse of Russian resistance could be looked for, and observers felt that if that eventuality was likely, then Moscow and Leningrad would hardly have been defended so vigSen.

Seed Winter Oats for Successful Winter Crop Many farmers have had excellent success in seeding winter oats in the fall as a cover crop, according to J. C. Hackleman, crops extension specialist of the University of Illinois college of agriculture, 111. The only trouble with using winter oats in the faU, he said, is that the crop is more apt to winter-ki- ll than barley or rye. Oats also does not make as good a nurse crop as the other two crops because it makes a more leafy and dense growth and consequently shades the legumes more and probably consumes more moisture and plant food than would be used by a rye or barley crop. When used as a winter cover crop, winter oats, barley or rye should be seeded a week or 10 days before the average date for seeding wheat, Hackleman said.

S. tanker Salinas limped into port under its own power, one of the luckiest fellows aboard was Phillip McBride (above) of Chicago. It was the third time he had missed death by inches. He was transferred from the S. S. Greer to the S. S. Kearny shortly before the Greer was attacked and then was transferred to the Salinas just before the Kearny was torpedoed. So far he is still one jump ahead of a torpedo. laid down, chief among which was the immediate stoppage of economic and military aid to China.

The program, published by the Japan Times and Advertiser, organ of the foreign office, declared that the Pacific was on the brink of war. It was considered significant in Washington that there was no mention of the Axis in the statement. It stated that there could be no retreat from these principles, poles away from anything the American state department was prepared to concede.

NEST: Near Iceland Somewhere south and west of Iceland it had become evident that Germany had established a big nest" of submarines preying upon convoys, and apparently giving especial interest to American warships. What inroads this countrys navy had been making on it was not revealed, the published score being totally in favor of Hitler, though the navy department had early announced that no successes against would be reported. The loss of the Reuben James, the navy said, entailed 95 casualties, all of the officers being missing as well as half of the enlisted men. Only two known dead, one survivor dying of his injuries and the other a body picked from the water, were reported. Reports of the torpedoing of the destroyer were that the vessel was struck in the center and broke in two, the forward half sinking at once, and the afterpart going to the bottom a few minutes later. Evidently most of those saved were aft, and succeeded in picking up a few of those hurled into the ocean from the other part of the ship. The navy said: It is probable that the attack took place during darkness. From the terrific force of the explosion it is a possibility that the magazine exploded. It is a probability that the majority of the casualties occurred in the forward section, although two of the survivors were from that part of the ship. Latest incident was the torpedoing of the Salinas, navy tanker, in the same district where the others had occurred. The Salinas made port. The navy would not give details of her damage, but published no casualty list among the crew.
