Recorded On Naah •C Kenosha, Wis., Kay 6--In Philadelphia, one day last week, a gallant old automobile purred up to the en- Coro-Hog Fractional Littera in McHenry county who signed up in the corn-hog adjustment program largely for corn benefits but in so doing were required to reduce their hog production to leas than one litter may now acquire hogs for home slaughter and consumption in one of three ways, said Farm Adviser W. A. Hlerrington. It is not the intent of the AAA to tract signer from slaughtering for home use as many hoga as slaughtered for home use on the average in 1932-1933, explains a communication from the extension service of the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. Thus recent rulings and interpretations have been issued to take care of the 1932-1933 hog than one.litter. If such a contract signer does n»t 'have a feeder pig base, it is pointed out, he may purchase for slaughter and consumption on the farming unit in 1934 a number of hogs on the farming unit in 1932 and 1933. Of course, if he has a feeder pig he may purchase hogs for Hall; halted long enough to pose for news pictures, then proceeded sturdily about its fourteen-year-old job of unraveling the mountainous miles in five f stern 8t&t€s, It was just on* of a million Nash cars which, like Independence Hall tiself and the principle* it stands for, are built-to-stay built.

The contest winner will-be awarded the handsome new 1934 Twin-Ignition Big Six sedan, which was the 1,000,000th car off Nash production lines, as a feature of Ghicago's 1934 Century of Progress exposition. From all compass points--Chicago, New York, Boston, New Orleans, California and the western plains--came word of other old Nash cars rolling to salesrooms to enter this unique contest and qualify for the grand prize. Nash model "686," discovered by CfJ Slighter under the provisions of the P. Turner, president of the Nash Phil- fe«der base, but in this case the numadelphia Company, has a remarkable ^ slaughtered for hoijie consumption record of service and one typcaT of must be deducted from his feeder almany Nash cars produced through the years since the company's organization in 1916-17, according to Nash officials. It is owned and has been operated continuously since its purchase in Miarch, 1920, by F. H. Cooke, district representative for two Pennsylvania steel companies. *The order for this car was placed with the Philadelphia Nash Motor Co March 27, 1920," he declared in the formal entry statement. "The delivered price was $1,771, fully equipped and was paid in cash. Think of the difference today when a luxurious and powerful Twin Ignition Big Six sedan costs but $77fc f. o. b. the Nash factory. Since its purchase the car has been in continuous service and has *o its credit approximately 195,000 miles. It has never failed on the road, nor has there ever been a new bearing of any description put into it- The main crankshaft bearings have never been taken up, nor have the king pins or king pin bushings been replaced. The last carbon and valve job was* done in September, 1932. Spark plugs have not been taken out since. "M!y business takes me into five eastern states--Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and New York, until June of 1932, when I purchased a new Nash sedan, old '686' was my constant companion. Since that time she has been used mainly for bad weather driving. In fact, during the past severe winter, the new sedan was seldom out of the garage. Right now I would not hesitate in starting for the west coast and back with her; and if I had any trouble on the road, It would be the first time in her history. I might also say that during my fourteen years of owner- As a third alternate, in contracts in which the adjusted 1932-1933 litters are less than one, the signer is permitted to produce one litter in 1934. The number of pigs which he may produce for market, however, is not changed by any rulings or interpretations. Contract signers taking advantage of this latter ruling are not allowed to sell pig® not needed for home consumption, if they did not produce hogs for market in 1932 or 1933. Welland Canal The Welland canal Is 27.6 miles long. In the main it follows the old line from Port Colbourne, on Lake Erie, to Allanburg, whence there Is a new route to Lake Ontario.

Chiefly, the atmosphere consists of oneflfth oxygen and four-fifths nitrogen, by volume. Oxygen Is the gas which makes life possible and Is necessary to all burning; nitrogen keeps the world from bursting Into flames and Is also necessary for food In the existence of both animals and plants.

New Tortt Rtttt Collet;# of Agriculture.--WNU Service. Feed colts well during winter; what is saved' In feed" is sacrificed many' times in the final usefulness of the horse. During the first and second winter colts should he fed grain twice a da> --in the morning and in the evening. A good grain mixture for draft colts consists of 30 pouuds of crushed oats. 30 pounds of wheat bran, A) pounds cracked corn, and 10 pounds linseed oil meal. This should be supplemented with properly cured clover or alfalfa hay. For colts of the light breeds, such as trotters and saddlers, cracked corn should be limited and mixed hay or early-cut, properly cured timothy is probably better than legume hay. The grain mixture should be liberally fed, the proper amount to be determined by the need of the individual colt In addition to grain and hay, sheaf oats will prove beneficial. Placing a supply of roughage in a covered rack in the exercise lot Is a good plan. Ice and snow are poor substitutes for drinking water. Young horses may be expected to thrive when they are bountifully nur tured with proper grain and forage and are given facilities for exercise. WHY ship the brakes have been relnied but three times. The only major expense ever incurred was repaiting." The car is powered by a Nasb sixcylinder engine, and is one of the 121- inch wheelbase models so popular in 1920^ Newly Born Calves Must Be Given Special Care During the winter time, newly, born calves should be kept away from dra/ts in the stable In order to avoid colds and pneumonia, warns a writer in the Praflrie Fnrmer. Leaving the calf with its mother during the colostrum period, which Is about four days, will make it more resistant to sickness. After the period with the mother, the calf may be fed from a bucket, three or four times a day for a few days, and then twice a day as thd calf grows older. With a bucket-fed calf the greatest cause of digestive disturbances is irregularity in amount of milk, time of feeding and temperature of the miik --that is, outside of drafts and dirty milk buckets. After four or five weeks the calf may be changed from whole milk to skim-milk, taking about seven days to make the change. Good quality legume hay and a grain mixture of coarsely ground corn and oats, with some bran and oilmeal added, should be placed before the calf. It will learn to eat in a very short time. Fresh water and salt should be accessible at all times Milk may be discontinued at the age of six months. Locate Ice Houses and Pits on the Hillside Where natural Ice may be harvested economically and easily, farmers In to. eating ice houses and Ice pits can oft: en take advantage of hills, trees or buildings whl<ch afford protection against hot winds and direct sunlight, and thus reduce melting losses, says John T. Bow<»n of the bureau of agri cultural engineering, United States De partment of Agriculture. To facilitate drainage the ground should be porous and slope from the building. On a dairy farm, a vestibule and cooling room are desirable features of the Ice house, which should be con venient to the dairy house. On a gen eral farm, the Ice house should be convenient to the residence. Small houses on farms using natural ice can be used to store a season's supply for household purposes, and on farms using manufactured ice to store a supply sufficient to save frequent trips to the ice plant. Cutting Alfalfa At Towa State college it has been found that more alfalfa,, hay is se cured in that state from two cutrInns than from three. To allow the hay to become so mature, hovfWer. increases the amount of leaf spot, ^rhich In turn reduces the number of leaves left -on plants when they are cut. For this reuson two cuttings usually wifi not provide the best quality hay. The best time to cut alfalfa Is when It is cne-fourth to one^tenth in bloom. Four cuttings a year will usually kill the stand in two years. Humus and Disease ' ffardeners are urged to conserve humus, as much as possible, and this is good advice as regards healthy plant tissHe. Diseased crop remnants, however, are a danger and should be destroyed. The safest plan is to bum such refuse and thus prevent the car ryover of disease. Burning Is also helpful in destroying Insect pests that hibernate in such material. The ashes make a good garden dressing, espe daily for roses. . Figures for It During the year the bureau of agricultural economics learns, 6,383 farmers, operating their own farms, had an average of $2."7 cash income over to pay living expenses and interest charges. Cash sales aqi >unte<l tn $1,014, cash outlays for Tabor, live stock, feed, seed, fertilizer, machinery, taxes and the like amounted to $7.", The farmers used from their farms foods amounting to $161 at farm prices. "Eating Humble Pie" Is to Act in Apologetic Manner. A humble person has but a poor opinion of himself. He Is willing to take an inferior position and to allow others to regard him as beneath their rank.. In the, Middle Ages, lords and ladies rode to the hunt with huntsmen and retainers as members of the party. However, the latter only had charge of the hounds and the horses and did not share in the noble part of the sport, that of killing the deer at the end of the chase. wlien the venison pasty was served to the lord and his household, the nobles sat upon a dais or raised platform at one end of the dining hall, as an indication of their high rank. At the other end of the room the huntsmen and servants were fed upon a pie made from the heart, liver and entrails of the deer. These parts of the deer were called the "umb^s." .So you see that eating the "umble pie." or "humble pie" was an indication of low rank. 'As we use the expression, "eating humble pie" means to act in a humbly apologetic manner.--Montreal Herald. Why New Mexico's unices Are Red Still Mystery Lakes and springs that turn crimson in the autumn are a feature of the White Sands National Monument, N. M., according to reports from Custodian Tom Charles, The coloration does not last long, the water next changing to a milky color. On a recent expedition there one small salt spring Just oft the monument area was found to be still red. It was too late to see most of the red lakes "In their bloom," the main body of water being then milky, with red still remaining around the edges. Examination with a powerful magnifying glass showed much life in the water, but there was no trace of color In any of the living forms. It is hoped that the question "Why are the red lakes red?" may be solved at the chemical laboratory of the State College of New Mexico, to which a sample of the water was sent The principal feature of the White Sands monument is its great (Inogs of glistening "sands," depoalfs Uf wind-blown gypsum and anhyarite. Why Sailors Wear Btae The blue color so prominent In the uniforms of almost all marines is of ancient origin, {jfgetius, in his fifth book on the military affairs of the Romans, traces the origin of this color to the Veneti, an ancient people dwelling near the coast of Biscay, and well versed In seamanship. It was customary among them to paint their outgoing ships, as well as the masts and sails, with a blue color; also their soldiers and sailors wore blue uniforms. According to this author, the Latin w<yd "Venutus," which was both the name of the color and that of the people, points to Its origin. From the Veneti the custom was adopted by the Romans. Why It's Caterpillar C!*fc The Caterpillar club Includes abators who have saved their lives by forced parachute Jumps from their planes. According to Murphy's book "Parachute," two Dayton newspaper men proposed the composition of the club immediately after Lieutenant Harris made a spectacular leap In October, 1922. The name was sug gested by the fact that the parachute was made of silk, and that "Hke the worm that spins the cocoon, he fled from death on silken strands." The "club" has no officers, clubhouse, constitution, bylaws or dues. Northerly Point of Latl According to the American Geographic socitty, the most northerly point of land Is Cape Morris K.

Curtice, president and general manager of the Buick Motor Coni: pany, today discussed Buick's manufacturing1 program and the company's At the same time he announced that important step into a new field. full details of the jjew line of Buick cars will be made public May 12. Meanwhile a vigorous production and distribution schedule has been inaugurated by the factory, designed to make the new cars immediately available at all dealer and distributor points. "It is Buick's manufacturing policy," Mr. Curtice said, "to draw upon the whole of Buick's long experience in automobile engineering and design and to co-ordinate every phase of Buick's vast manufacturing facilities for the single purpose of building the best automobile it is possible to build. "This has been done in the 1934 line of cars, and it has been done in cresting the new lower priced Buick which we are about to announce. "Buick heretofore has always beeik in the price field of from $995 up. In the *»old days,' when everyone was making more money and spending it freely, the demand for Buick automobiles resulted in factory production of a quarter of a million cars a year. For quite some time now, due to changed conditions, Buick has been in a price area considerably above anything warranting this volume. "Buick's record of achievement is essentially a result of organization and the rich experience of more than thirty years of fine car production. Quality in mass production has been the Buick keynote. In the achievement of this, the finest manufacturing facilities in tfye industry have been assembled in the^&uick factories. "It is Buick's manufacturing policy now to use this great wealth of experience, organization, manufacturing facilities and engineering skill to bring out a Buick car of the same quality that has built the company's reputation over the years, but a car to sell considerably under the present lowest Buick price. Up to this point, Buick has be»n building cars for that group of buyers constituting, only eight per cent of the entire automobile market. In the price field we are about to enter we will be competing for approximately 27 per cent of the automobile market. "While no one pan predict the portion of this market that Buick will secure, it is probable that we will exceed the average we have attained ir. the higher price brackets. If we do, Washington igton, May Johnson acquainted with English politics in another era said, "It is easy to cut men's throats with whisperings." Time has not changed this situation for Washington, the nation's whispering gallery, is filled with echoes of soft-toned talk. As the conclave of business men left here this week they carried away the convic - tion that the Rational Recovery Administration was on its last legs. This opinion is apparently based on the fact that the edicts issued by General Johnson are leas potent as affected groups take up the gauntlet and rush for the courts. A militant clique is now endeavoring to persuade the President to take up cudgels to rally popular support for NRA. They want him to talk over the radio for ten minutes during the nation-wide drive to restore the prestige of the Blue Eagle. Among the major weaknesses of the NRA has been the failure to obtain stabilization of prices for industry in exchange for wage increases and shorter working hours. The chiselers have been ignoring the Johnson ukase to the extent that the Blue Eagle has lost its talons in many localities. The dominant drift of conversations about town is in the direction of better working arrangement making code enforcement effective or a Presidential proclamation declaring the economic emergency is at an end. The Public Works Administration has been liberal in authorizing enormous construction projects, but complaints are numerous that actual appropriations for this activity are -relatively insignificant. Business men scent politics in the delays. They anticipate a sudden burst of government activity late in August just prior to the elections. With a long debate on the reciprocal tariff promised in Republican quarters, Administration leaders in the Senate are working hard to reach a compromise. The minority is determined to place a check rein on the Chief Executive's powers in negotiating tariffs with foreign countries'. The G. O. P. solons contend that the Tariff Commission, designed as an impartial and non-partisan investigating body, is actually subservient to the White House.

The talk is not entirely one-sided SS millions of insurance policy holder* and owners of securities have bees awakened as to the implications of the proposed drastic control- As a consequence floods of letters and telegrams have deluged the law-makers _ from the affected parties. This sentiment has been largely responsible for a marked change in Congressional tactics. Instead of imposing broad restrictions which would seriously hamper the normal operation of business dependent upon money raised by the sale of securities there is a tendency to find a middle ground. The errors of 1929 heydeys still furnish endless - talk. .* A committee of state tax comjnlsi siorvers has been here for several weeks conducting an efficient lobby in support of a bill to permit assessments of sales tar on articles shipped in interstate commerce. They have played their cards skillfully to indued their Congressional delegations to call on the House Interstate Commerce Committee. In other words, they have been "putting the pressure" on the committee in hopes of favorable action. There are several state which do not favor sales taxes, but the organised state officials expect to convert these unwilling commonwealths to their way of thinking under the terms of a permissive law. It will require skillful handling at the White House to reconcile the difference between the Senate and House as to future poh 'es for air mail systems. The bill parsed by the Senate and the measure pending in the HoOS'i are far apart in fundamentals.

Patton representing the Commodity Credit Corporation has been in McHenry County engaged in the work of checking and inspecting corn sealed under the Federal Corn Loan plan. Inspector Patton leports that he is pleased with the cooperation extended by the borrowers of McHenry County. Mr. Patton is especially well pleased with tha sealing done in this county by Lestef A. Siedschlag, the seaier. The Government is desirous of protecting the interests of everyone concerned in the loan, and to that end required that all cribs sealed be so enclosed that no com could possibly be removed without first destroying some material part of the crib. Mr. Patton's inspection showed that all these requirements! were fulfilled by the fealer before the seal was affixed, and he reports corn and cribs sealed in McHenry County to be in the best condition of any so sealed in the northern half of the state. Where conditions violating the terms of the loan agreement are found, Mr. Patton states that every opportunity will be given the borrower to make the necessary changes before further action is taken.
