ByW. H. Tammeue , i This is Friday afternoon. Evtty- j body is outside but me, it seems, : enjoying the balmy spring •, weather. Here I am trying to! cook up some readin' with no in- , spiration. It's about like meat. 'Without any seasoning. Pretty flat. Do you have sheep ? Have you j , wormed them before you put them | on pasture ? Phenothiazene is the j word for worming sheep. A big1 . pill or two each will do the frick., You have to know how to make 1 them swallow them thotigh. If j ; you don't get the pill below the | . swallower, the sheep will bring it jjfnp, chew it up, and spit it out. We used to take a piece of pipe large enough so the pill will go through it and send it through "the pipe with a long bolt. Saves getting bit. i One of the silliest things I see - farmers who claim to lie in. aj - hurry do is to plow one way j across the end of a field and drive j -back empty. Where I came from j we left a strip along each side of the field equal in width to the j head land on the end and then j plow all the way 'round the -field to finish up. That, of course, is when plowing aWay from the; fence. When pflSfring toward the fence) a like strip can be left by not; . quite finishing out the land on! each side of the field so that you can go clear around the field finishing out the lands and plowing the ends at the same time. In Iowa and Minnesota ! one uses a single disc instead of a tandom. The way most discs have been made the back gang jjuat drags along anyway. Out there they disc with the single disc and split the middles on the next time around. They also go At an angle across the field to level up the land, especially where corn stalks were plowed under. I saw a new disc recently with both front and back gangs on a Hgid frame. It really cuts corn Stalks--much better than where teach half of each gang is free to flop as it pleases. This disc had two wheels that come down with the use of the power lift to go 'down the road. Looks like the real thing to me. Have, you been wearing a"pair of rubber gloves this spring when handling new born pigs, calves, etc. Undulant fever was contracted by 445 people in Illinois last year by not taking this pre <jp.ution. You can get it this wa> Where the sow or cow is infected. Bonne of the things we can do, to save labor this year are: 1-- j plan to spray your corn with 2-4-, D about the time it comes up or' before. They say broadleaf* weeds . and even grasses like crabgrass and foxtail can be controlled if sprayed when they are germinating. It is not effective in a dry season or on sandy or porous soils where the 2-4-D will have lost tnost of its killing power before j the weeds sprout. The corn may j be affected too. It won't kill quack j grass, bindweed or thistle this ( way. About two pounds of acid j per acre from three to seven days | after planting is about right. Fol- j low up later when the corn is a • few inches tall with a rotary hoe. This will save the slow job of | first cultivation. 2--Cut and chop j first cutting hay in one operation,, going directly to the silo or stack. If you are putting this concoction j in the silo, add 200 pounds of corn and cob meal per ton to improve the feeding value. Have the corn and cob meal in an overhead bin some way so the load can be; driven underneath to drop it on.; A stand made of a few timbers set out in the yard where the sacks can be hoisted up on it with | a sack elevator would do. 3 -Install pipe line milking even in your s t a n c h i o n b a r n . The U. o f . I i . has had one going since February, j 1950, and they haven't had to j take it apart for cleaning yet. Bacteria count has been held well below grade A requirements, j Pipes are of stainless steel and; pyrex glass. One man handles til" j whole job of milking. j I was in a barn the other day i where the tenant was feeding silage in a basket to thirty cows. Removal of two cow stalls, one in each row, would have made it possible to feed with a silage• cart. Everything else was just as j impossible including the space, j lengthwise and widthwise for each cow. In. industry, tenant and j cows would have all walked off the job.

Lawrence, a native of Ringwood, were held Friday morning at 10 o'clock from the Peter M. Justen funeral home, followed by interment in St. Mary's cefnetery. . Mr. Lawrence, 69, died of a heart attack as he was Walking to his home after a visit to the doctor's office last week Tuesday. The deceased was born May 10, 1883, oldest son of Abraham and Barbara Lawrence. He received his education in the Ringwood school and later worked as a mason with his father until his retirement several years ago. Mr. Lawrence is survived by a sister, Mrs. Eva Wegener, of Mc- Henry, two brothers, William of McHenry and Oliver of Ringwood. CARD OF THANKS We would like to take this opportunity to thank friends and neighbors for floral offerings, donations of cars, cards of sympathy and the many other kindnesses extended at the time of our bereavement. 51 BROTHERS AND SISTER • Ity Marie Scheettfoi Pan-American activities was the main theme of our last meeting. Our unit's Pan-American chairman, Lorraine Gausden, entertained with a program to emphasize this phase. She had an interesting display of Cuban articles to show us. Clare Seeber, who helped Lorraine arrange the program, brought Pat McCurdy to us and we all enjoyed Pat's Cuban dance immensely. Lorraine also showed some personal moving pictures of a Cuban trip taken by The Chuck Millers and The Floyd Covalts. This program commemorated the sixty-second anniversary of the founding of the Pan-Amerlcan union on April 14. With our interest centered in Europe and Asia recently, we are inclined to lose tract of the fact that we need the friendship of the twentyone other Republics in the western hemisphere ... The Auxiliary has 25,000 members who devote their spare time to child welfare work. This program was established in IMS imd[ thus far we have spent $87,165,-! 000 in direct aid1, to needy chil- { dren of veterans. The Auxiliary, j of course, cooperates closely with j other agencies so that these children may obtain the maximum I benefits from the fund .... j Each unit, large or small, does' its share toward raising funds .for its many programs. One of1 our unit's most lucrative fund- j raising projects has been that of j undertaking to serve dinners to; various groups at the Legion j home. Many of our women put in many hours working in the kitchen and our president, too, does, more than her share. However, the greatest amount of credit be-j longs unequivocably to Delia Freund. Delia has been in charge ! of the dinners this year and has diligently worked to produce sat-1 isfied "customers" and still make a small margin of profit. It has taken many dinners and many hours of hard labor on her part to show profit to buy a much needed new stove for the Legion kitchen. None of our volunteer helpers are paid e'niployeeb and probably therein lies the secret of providing good dinners and keeping on the right side of the ledger. With food so high in price, Delia has shown a great deal of ingenuity in her management of the k i t c h e n . . . With am organization concerned mainly with helping others, Is ft thy w<Mid#r that otfr tnemt)«rship has grown so large? At the beginning of March, 1952, approximately 850,000 women were enrolled in the American Legion Auxiliary. We are striving for a goal of one million hiembers by the end of 1952. vye would be happy to have any eligible women join our McHenry unit. We are a small group but an active one and members derive a certain amount of pleasure from our activities. There are many social events scheduled during? this year and of course we can always use one more hand to help with the serious aspects of our organisation. If you are eligible or have friends who are eligible we invite you to join. . . Possibility of attack by enemies seems to be o c c u p y i n g the thoughts of the people in charge of civilian defense. The schools, the press and the various civic 1 organizations »jre constantly admonishing us to be prepared and it is well to be defense-conscious. ! One method of defense is to combat Communism in our ranks. , There have been some good books I recently published to help us in this effort. Among the best of them are these: "Communism and ] Christ" by Rev. Charles Lowry; j "Brain Washing in Red China" j by Edward Hunter; "While you j Slept" by John Flynn. There is a I longer list of books recommend- I ed by the Legion who recommends I that these books should be made ! available through all libraries.
