Arey, ex- j tension dairyman. According id ( Arey, the feeding of 20 to 30 pounds 1 of turnips per head daily will ma- I terially increase the milk production j of dairy animals. He recommends that the turnips be seeded early in August on low, j fertile land which has received a good coating of manure and 600 to fcOO pounds of a complete, high grade fertilizer., The purple top or Pommeranian ^hite globe are two good varieties to plant. Turnips and other root crops are slightly laxative and tend to keep i the cow's digestive tract in good ' condition, thereby enabling her tir| get more out of the other feeds : which she consumes. j The tops of the turnips should be removed in harvesting and the crop 1 stored in a cellar or hilled as with sweet potatoes. Before feeding them, the turnips should be cut into | small pieces with a spade to prevent ! the cows from choking on the whole ' root. The turnips should be fed after milking and not before. If they are. fed before milking, a flavor of the turnips will be found in the milk. Plum Full Stranger--Say, why do those trees bend over so far? Farmer--You'd bend over too if you were as full of green apples as they are. ersotii9/s CHICAGO,--Mr. and Mrs. William I. Coffeen have known for some time that their son, William Coffeen Jr., was rescued after being missing in action 72 days in the Southwest Pacific, but the other day they learned r the first time the story of his eroic fight against f^ver, starvation and storms; and How a lonely, cackling hen helped save his life. "Bill wasn't what you'd call a husky boy," said the elder Coffeen. "He was 6 feet 1V4 inches tall, but weighed only 150 pounds. But he was wiry, and could take it." Paddles Raft to Isle. Young Coffeen, 23 years old, and a native Chicagoan, is a staff sergeant in the marine air force in which he enlisted on June 14, 1939, a few days after his graduation from St. Patrick's high school. He toughened himself there by playing football. His brother, Ed, a flying marine corporal, is also in the Southwest Pacific, and they've missed seeing each other by margins of only iwo hours or less. : The story of Sergeant Coffeen's 72 day ordeal was told in a delayed dispatch from Sergt. Harry Bolser of Louisville, Ky., a marine combat correspondent on Guadalcanal. A smoking motor and an oil leak forced Coffeen to bail out from his plane on April 13. He paddled for more than a day in a small rubber life raft before reaching an island. There he gathered coconuts, drank the liquid and ate the meat--his first Nourishment in nearly 48 hours. The island was not inhabited so j Sergeant Coffeen set out in his raft | for another. One day he spotted a j reed roofed house. "I didn't care ! whether it was occupied by natives,. Japs or whites," he related. "I was | Bearing the end of my endurance." He paddled for the island and house. Cackle Guide to Eggs. The house was vacant, but looking I around the Chicagoan heard a cackle. Looking around further he 'came upon a lonely hen setting upon | a dozen eggs. Coffeen ate several f eggs, the first real food in 20 days, j He remained at the house five days, i feasting on eggs. Meantime a mosquito bite gave him malaria. But undaunted, Coffeen poked around other islands, searching for food j and rescuers. Finally, he was caught in a storm. ( "Then I passed out," said Coffeen. j The next he remembered he was in ! the arms of a native who said: "American--you good." TJiose were the best words he had ever heard, related Coffeen, because then he knew he was safe. Final rescue did i not, however, come for 40 days, during which time natives nursed him j back to health. On the 72nd day from his bail-out, a navy pjjuie j picked , him up. Wrung Party She--Pve been asked to get married lots of times. He--Who asked you? She--Mother and father. Fiction He--Isn't that a cook book I see you reading? She--Yes. And it's got a lot oi stirring passages in it, too. Sounds Plausible^ Harry--Do you think it's true that women live longer than men? Jerry--I don't know, but it's true of widows. Takes Rattler Bites to Save His Blind Master GREAT FALLS, MONT. -- Lady, George Anderson's seeing-eye dog, shielded her sightless 19-year-old master from a rattlesnake's attack by deliberately permitting the snake to wound her. Anderson said that while strolling on his family's ranch with the dog, he heard the warning buzz of a rattler. He pulled Lady's leash but she refused to move. When help responded to his call, Anderson learned that Lady had stood directly between him and the snake and had allowed the reptile to strike her twice. Strain on Farmers Will Continue, Says Briton LONDON.--Britaiiy. will continue to make heavy demands on her Services Claim Gas Nearly one out of every three gallons of gasoline produced in refineries east of the Rocky mountains in the last half of 1943 will go to military uses, and in 1944 an estimated 37.6 per cent will be similarly allocated. SO DOTH TOE BUSY BEE farmers until at least 1947, even if victory is won before then, R. S. Hudson, minister of agriculture, said in a speech. "Last autumn," he said, "I asked for an additional 600,000 acres of wheat, and it has been achieved. Inow confidently expect to get well over half as much again." Britain's 1943 wheat acreage was more than double the 1939 figure. Mrs. Nellie Bacon spent a few I days last week visiting relatives in! Crystal Lake.

The Duck* Is Historic, Tough Game of Argentina The historic Argentine game "El Pato" ("the duck"), was played up to the middle of the 19th century as a rather free-for-all affair between two rival bands on horseback, much as the North American Indians played what later became lacrosse. The two sides strove for the possession of a duck sewed in a sack, the field of action usually extending from one given estancia to another. About 1840, the game was banned by dictator Juan Manuel de Rozas, not, as is generally supposed, owing to the dangers of the game itself, but because of the many casualties which resulted from arguments among players and spectators who had bet their shirts. It is no longer the game of the gauchos (who no longer exist in the 19th century sense), but is a sport for young men who ride well and don't mind a few knocks. It has an advantage over polo in that people of ordinary means can afford to play, especially in Argentina where fine horses are not a luxury. - The ball is a regulation soccer football, encased in a leather framework with six rawhide handles, by means of which it is carried, passed or tugged until it can be thrown through a hoop one meter (approximately 3' 3") In diameter and three meters in the air. A side is composed of three forwards and a back;, the field measures 200 meters by 100.

Revolves Around Soccer Brazil is a nation of soccer fans. It is the people's sport there, much the same as baseball and football are in the U. S. In every state of the country, the game is strongly organized, enthusiastically followed. Schools, clubs, colleges, societies and worker's groups, all have their teams. Many organizations, in addition to maintaining their own teams, also contribute to the support of professional teams. Althoufh called "Football Clubs," these sports organizations also have swimming pools, tennis courts and gymnasiums. The returns from the professional games help to defray the cost of these added installations, thus performing a definite community service. Recognizing the importance of the football clubs in molding public sentiment and building up the health of the people of their country, the Brazilian government has brought all clubs under their supervision. Professional teams are under the National Council of Sports, a section of the department of education, and all other athletic activities are under the Brazilian Federatidn of Sports, also a government institution. • Help chicks and young birds grow and devel-[ op.

Mark Twain's story of Tom's adventures in Hannibal, Mo., placed first in the list of books the children had read and enjoyed. "Tom Sawyer" was mentioned 563 times and his friend Huck was in sixth place with 197 "votes." "Huckleberry Finn," however, was not nearly as popular as "Treasure Island" and its one-legged Long John Silver. Robert Louis Stevenson's book got 405 mentions. The 10 most widely read books in order of their popularity are "Tom Sawyer," "Treasure Island," "Little Women," "Gone With the Wind," "Sue Barton," "Huckleberry Finn," "Little Men," "Anne of Green Gables," "Robin Hood" and "Call of the Wild." In the magazine field, Life was most popular and Look second. Other magazines widely read by the children were Boys' Life, Popular Science, the Saturday Evening Post and the Reader's Digest.
