But Tony 'had hung up. Visions "f Tony distributing deadly ant food flashed across Mr. Karnot's mind and he started across town with record speed. Then he remembered Tony's childlike grin and slowed down. But if Tony's wife wasn't even sick, why did he think she was going to die tomorrow? he cogitated, and stepped Oji the accelerator again. He stopped before a modest,house in the Italian quarter. On each side, groups of children sat in the dusty, yards playing noisy games. Tony's green squarf of lawji with its prim flower beds was an oasis, a trim mirage of order and neatness in a desert of untidy dwellings." As he walked up the steps Mr. Karnot saw a slip from one of his choicest rosebushes. "Aw, Tony's all right, the guy loves flowers." His heart jumped with relief as a handsome Portuguese girl came to the door. Her cheerful smile showed that she was in complete and happy ignorance of her impending demise. "Er-is Tony home?"

Advice Red Clover, Alfalfa, Will Be in Great Demand, GroWers Are Told. v Stfppficif by the United States D«partin<Hlt 4( Ae-ric(iiture.--WKU Service. •. # Pointing to the prospect of .reduced supplies of grass seed this season, Dr. A. G. Black, chief of the bureau of agricultural economics, recommends that farmers msike every effort to save all possible red clover and alfalfa seed. Farmers in many of the principal seed-producing regions will harvest a little less than half as much grass seed this year as last, he said. The timothy seed crop is less than one-third as large as last year's crop of 128,223,000 pounds, while tedtop, appears to be around 40 per cent of last year's production' of 9,750,000 pounds. Th6re is a relatively large carryover of timothy and redtop, a fair sized .cariy-over of blue grass seed, and much above normal stocks of Sudan grass seed. . : Dr. Eiack said that the: situation as to-legume seeds is not definitely known because most of the clover seeds are harvested later than the grasses, but present conditions §re Unfavorable. The crimson clover seed crop of approximately 1,000,- 000 pounds, is - abojut one - third smaller this year than last. White clover is substantially larger crop than last-'- season-- although the 1935 crop of 45Q.000 pounds was much b,elow normal. The carry-over of Clover seed is unusually small. The harvest of the red clover and alfalfa crops, two groups of seeds t h a t w i l l b e n e e d e d m o s t n e x t spring, will not be completed until later.. There is, therefore, still time for growers of these legumes to make a special effort to save the seed where they are not forced to cut the crops for hay, Dr. Black said. Drouth Silage Problem Faced by Many Farmers . What is the feeding value of fodder or silage made from drouthdamaged . corn? How much feed will such corn yield per acre? The yield of feed per acre depends so much upon the amount of gx^owth attained before cutting that it is impossible to generalize on the probable production in any one case. Tests at the Indiana sta-. tion, however, indicate that corn <*Ht just after it has completed the pollination stage will produce about one-half as much dry matter per acre as, when it is cut at the hard k e r n e l s t a g e -- t h e p o i n t m o s t favored for normal silo filling. In the Indiana experiment, corn cut at four feet in height produced less than one-tenth as much dry matter per acre as when it was permitted to stand until the hard kernel stage. As' for differences in feeding value, the limited information available indicates that fodder or silage made from drouth damaged corn will probably run a little higher in protein, pound for pound, than ordinary fodder or silage. On the other hand, it ikins lower in sugar and starch and does not keep as well. Thus, drouth damaged corn may not make silage of high quality as normal corn, but it will be good feed, nevertheless.Wallaces' Farmer. Rye for live Stock Rye, sometimes used for live stock, is not a very satisfactory feeding material. If limited to 20 per cent of the ration in dry lot feeding of hogs, however, rye may be 90 per cent as valuable as corn, pound for pound, says a writer in Wallaces' Farmer. When ground or cracked, it also compares fairly well with corn as a feed for beef cattle. Rye is liked least by horses and best by sheepv. In the case of horses it should be coarsely ground or crushed and fed only as part of the ration. Sheep, on the other hand, will handle unground rye as well as the same amount of barley. Rye used as a live stock feed should contain very little, if any, ergot. The presence of ergot is indicated by purplish, abnormal kernels. In particular, ergoty kernels should be kept away from pregnant animals. Dairy Cows to Be Listed Every animal enrolled in dairy improvement associations will be listed as to identity and production :by the U. S. Bureau of Dairy Industry at Washington. There are 405,000 cows with production records and 17,000 herd sires enrolled in 900 cow testing production* records and 17,000 units in the Country. Less than 75,000 cows in the associations ®re identified by pure-bred registrations, and the new plans will identify the other cows not. listed in the breed club records. * Prolificacy Prolificacy should be just as much a goal toward which breeders strive as the type and - breed characteristics which appear "soimportant today, says the Indiana Farmer's Guide. The . overhead of keeping the breeding stock is indirectly proportional to the ' number of offspring. Latest,scientific evidence indicates that prolificacy is founo in strait.s .of - every class of and bes^t in propagate sttch straL.s. • :• VEd Smith, Dar Granger, Eugene Sayler and Earl Monear left Monday on a fishing trip at Three Lakes, Wis Mr. and Mrs; James Perkins, Darlene Lockwood and Mr. and Mrs. A.
