The commitments in the series of Presidential messages are considered a reliable index as to what course the Administration will pursue within the next few months. The recommendations for legislation which the Chief Executive will submit to Congress within a few days will be the absorbing topic of the hour and a forecast of the policy-making plans of the Executive Mansion. The White House emphasis on defense needs and questions of international policies is not unusual.

Believe it or not, government statistics show that Daisy, the cow, is not earning her keep these days. The annual report of the Bureau of Dairy Industry made public this week contains an indictment of members of the nerd. There are 26,000,000 milk cows in this country and less than five per cent pay their way. A cow, you know, must produce at least 8.800 pounds of milk a year to meet expenses of living. The government experts say, "Such cows cannot possibly pay a profit, and in thousands of instanced they can pay nothing for the labor they require." Taking Daisy off the red ink side of a farmer's books requires methods of breeding, feeing, and management that will enable the farmer to lower his milkproduction costs. High-producing cows require less feed, labor, and other expense per unit of milk or butterfat produced than lower-producing cows.
