That is the success story of a plant immigrant -- Korean lespedcza. Only three" decades ago Dr. Ralph Mills, a medical missionary, sent a package of lespedeza seed from Korea to the U. S. department oi agriculture. Department specialists planted the seed at the experimental farm across tnfc Potomac river frorr. Washington. In a few years t^err was enough seed to plant lespedeza at several state experiment stations The imported crop fitted well or the poor, slightly acid soils unfit such crops' as alfalfa and soon being grown widely in the East Cen tral states as a seed and pasture crop. Now its use is becoming mort' widespread,.particularly in areas o: low fertility land. The U. S. crop of Korean lesp: deza, developed directly from the single package, now is valued ai more than 200 million dollars a year. Value of the seed crop amounts to 20 million dollars. The hay ci\,p makes up another 100 million dollars of valine. Although value of the pasture crop is difficult to estimate, specialists contend that it amounts to at least 100 million dollars. These figures do not take into account the profitable use of millions of acres of low fertility land made possible by introduction of the new legume crop.

He's a Rat What is the most destructive animal in the world? No--it's not a puppy or a small boy!

As if its destructive abilities were not enough, the rat is host to carriers or is itself a carrier of bubonic plague typhus and other diseases which ar deadly to man. Few farms are entirely free o, rats, although rat populations can be reduced quickly. Cleaning up the premises, rat proofing, cutting off food supply, poisoning and trapping are tnajor points in an effective ral cont«)l jproglam. But, once the control measures^ begin to show results, there can be no relaxing. Rat control is a permanent, year-around program. A few \days of poisoning will' have only a temporary effect on the rat population. \ "A J Modem Dairy Buildings Will Boost Efficiency Increased efficiency has entered the dairy industry with more wide spread use of milking rooms and milk houses. - The ideal location for a milk house is attached t6 the milking room of oarn. la most areas, sanitary re- RitlrMj Slant The brskeman entered the res taurant and sat down at- the counter for breakfast.
