By C. Tenor Offered a Chance To Reach the Top Note General Wounded By Edward C. Wayne WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS ii F. MONROE w Wa (Ohio State Agricultural Dairy Experiment Station.) At present there is a demand for an increased quantity of milk, and current prices justify attempts to meet this demand. In fact, dairymen can afford to modify their feeding program to meet the emergency. exact The method for individual cases will, of course, be subject to the conditions prevailing in the particular dairy. Many cows do lack the ability to produce, but there are also many cows that would do much better if General Clinton A. Pierce, who has been reported wounded in action in the Philippines. He is the first U. S. general wounded in action in World war No. 2. This picture was taken before the outbreak of the war in the Pacific. given the chance. Only by permitting the cows to have a fair trial can their producing ability be deter- mined. An attempt should be made to have the cows freshen in good condition. In this sense, the lactation period really begins with the dry cow six or eight weeks previous to freshening. After the cow freshens the feeding should be increased gradually. The cow in heavy milk flow requires a concentrate mixture some containing high-prote- sup- in plements to insure a sufficient protein intake. Hay should be fed liberally and the cow allowed to pick it over rather than be restricted to all she will clean up. If, corn silage is available, it should be limited in amount to permit the heavy producing cow to eat more hay. Such a procedure is recommended where the hay is of good quality and hence palatable to the cow; otherwise limiting the corn silage has no justifica- tion. A large improvement in milk production cannot be expected to come from just one change, of course. The entire feeding and management program in summer and winter must be considered. Much of the low production can be traced to un- derfeeding on July and August pasture, to undue exposure and short pasture in the late fall, to the use of poor quality roughage and poor management in the winter. For best results there can be no weak places in the program, because the weaknesses generally speed the decline in production to such an extent that many of the good points are made less effective. Farm Terracing Aid Under the new setup, farmers can terrace their land now and pay for it later, the AAA official said. Machinery of the terracing program is simply operated, Vance said in explaining that county AAA committees set a reasonable price for terracing easier farms of the county through offers made contractors. Once by the fair price for a county is determined, farmers get bids for their farms from the contractors, take the offer they like best and get their terracing done. It goes without saying that prices of terracing will vary by farms. Establishing a reasonable price for a county will serve as a yardstick for measuring costs of easier and more difficult jobs. When terracing has been completed and checked by county AAA officers for specified requirements under the farm program, contractors are paid by the AAA and charges later deducted from farmers conservation payments. Needs of Soil More food can be produced for immediate war-tim- e needs and ag- riculture can be placed on a firmer footing for the future if farmers will follow a few basic soil building prin- ciples, according to an agricultural bulletin. One of the first essentials, says the bulletin, is for the farmer to find out what are the nutritional requirements of his soil. Since soils and crops vary in different geographical sections, the farmers best proceof dure is to enlist the agronomists of his state agricultural experiment station or of his county agent. By analyzing a sample of the farmers soil and determining its needs for nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, these experts can provide valuable information to guide the farmer in selecting the correct analysis of fertilizer. They will likewise suggest the amount to use. SINKINGS: Continue Heavy Somewhere in the Pacific ocean, this dramatic picture taken of a S. U. navy offensive patrol plane carrier being circled by a navy dive duties. Note in the picture that bomber as it begins its on both the side and underpart of the plane there have been deletions of certain parts and insignia which might give information to the enemy. Also on the top rigging of the carrier you will notice further deletions for the same reason. The the North raids Atlantic continued heavy, with a total of 16 ships attacked of, which two escaped and 14 went to the bottom, with about an average loss of life. Since our entrance into the war, two navy tankers had been torpedoed, the first managing to reach Iceland under her own power, but the second one, the Neches, going down with a reported estimated loss of 56 men, with 126 men escaping to fight again. The location of the Neches torpedoing was not immediately announced by the navy, but ship losses had been small in the Pacific after Pearl Harbor, more than equalled two to one by Allied sinkings of Jap ships. There were growing reports of Allied naval strength in the Pacific, showing that increasing numbers of ships were active in those waters, and in one case having carried the Marshattack to the Japanese-hel- d all and Gilbert islands, generally in the Australia defense zone, with terrific results. In this action, though no strictly war vessels of Nippon were sunk, the navy reported several auxiliaries were sunk and damaged, which might include tankers, transports, supply ships used for naval pur- anti-submari- ne TIZON : 3pic Battle Hailed as an epic of warfare that would live in all history, the defense of Bataan peninsula and of the fortresses holding the entrance to Manila bay had been diverting large Jap forces needed elsewhere than in the Philippines. The adding to MacArthurs embatd tled and army of a battalion of bluejackets and marines was welcome news and showed that perhaps not all of the men of Cavite and Olongapo had been withdrawn, but that they had been given a post of honor with the defenders. Up on the Mariveles mountains they were entrenched, and no matter what strength the Japs hurled against them they were holding firm. On one moonlit night 'a whole regiment of small boats moved down the that coast, using the same tactics had hurled the British ' back on Malaya. The effort was to get in on MacArthurs flank and confuse the defenders, at the same time signalling for an offensive on the central front. But the shore defenders and artillery opened up on the Jap invaders, left scores of them struggling in the water, and the few that made shore were quickly mopped up by the Filipinos. There was apparently at least one Japanese warship which managed to run through the eight-mil- e strip of water between the fortresses at the entrance of Manila bay. One of the United States intrepid torpedo boat skippers, piloting his tiny craft at close to 80 miles an nour, swept down on her in the moonlight, and launched two torpedoes which struck the ship. She is believed to have been sunk. The attack was carried out directly into the glare of the warships searchlights, and under the full power of her guns, but so skillfully did its skipper maneuver that she was not struck, and escaped with all hands to tell the tale. smoke-begrime- WAVELL: And Reinforcements The statement by General Wavell that great reinforcements were to arrive, and calling on the Singapore defenders to defend the city as Tobruk was defended was more than a little significant. Tobruk was the bastion that held out for months despite being surrounded on three sides by Axis forces anxious to wipe it out, and finally was relieved by the allied winter drive. Wavells statement to the Singapore army smacked of a situation which might see sufficient reinforcements sent to Malaya to do the same thing, not only to relieve the garrison, but send the Japanese on the run again. Whether this reinforcement was going to be sent to Singapore itself, or whether a method was to be found of striking at the Japanese rear, which might be lightly held, was not revealed, but either method, it was pointed out, might work. No British commentators felt that the war in the South Pacific would be lost utterly if Singapore was to fall, but the ability to hold the East Indies would immeasurably be weakened if this was to happen, hence Wavells strong appeal to the citys defenders to hold out at all costs. GERMANS: Not Out Yet Reading endless.stories of Russian successes in battles on the east front, and the continuous hammeri- ng back north of Africa on U-bo- at Rommels forces in had brought many souls to feel that the war was over, and that all which remained was some sort of mopping over-optimist- ic process. The turning of the tide in north Africa, and the success of German counterattacks in the Crimea showed that with favorable weather conditions the Nazis were still very much up , to be reckoned with. The Crimea was a much warmer battlefield than the 40 below zero northern sectors, where the Russians, undiscouraged by the cold, and more jn such weather, were able to hurl the Nazis back constantly on a wide front. But the minute the weather moderated in the Crimea, they found themselves more or less up against a stone wall. On the British and American forces was falling the brunt of the Japanese blitz, and its successes on Malaya and in the Philippines showed that this was no minor war, but an effort against powerful anat-ho- , poses. That our forces lost 11 planes but no ships showed that probably one of our aircraft carriers was in the neighborhood, and that a vessel of this size was being used in a task force offensive action demonstrated that Admiral Nimitz was keen on getting even with Japan for Pearl tagonists. Therefore events generally pointwhat Washington had assured the people was, coming a long and Harbor. bloody war, not to be lightly won.
