James Cagney was chosen best actor for his work in "Yankee Doodle Dan dy"*; Agnes Moorhead the best ac tress for her performance in "The Magnificent Ambersons." Greer Garson and Katharine Hepburn were contenders for that crown for a while, but Miss Moorhead won out.

Moak FppcI Crops Best Put in Silage Keeping Essential Vitamin A Necessary Almost any feed crop Is worth twice as much an acre when made into silage as it Is in the barn or j stack. This is especially true of com and grain sorghum crops which will not make much grain. It applies equal- j ly to sweet sorghums, Johnson grass and Sudan. If corn and grain sorghums can be left standing until the grain is hard, ! they will make better silage, provid ed the majority of the leaves still are green. Nevertheless, these feeds j should be made Into silage even though the leaves are burned or Sheep are playing a doable role in Uncle Sam’s fight for freedom: : Food for fighters, workers, allies; fleece lined clothing for soldiers in arctic climates. dried up. But all vitamin A would , be lost in the latter case. Vitamin A is very essential, especially if silage is its only source, and the main origin of vitamin A for livestock is green feed. It is even more necessary to have the sweet sorghums, such as redtop cane and seeded ribbon cane, ripe for making silage. Immature sweet sorghums make sour silage. John son and sudan grasses should be headed out and the seed in the dough stage. Any of the grasses and leg umes should be dried until their water content is reduced to 35 or 40 per cent before being put into the silo. This means about half dry enough to bale for hay. When a majority of the leaves of corn, grain and sweet sorghums, and Johnson and sudan grasses are green, it is not necessary to add water if the feed is chopped in one j quarter-inch lengths or less with an ensilage cutter when put in the j trench. If the majority of the leaves are dry, it will be necessary to add enough water to wet the feed about like a heavy dew. Damp en bundle feed even though the majority of the leaves are green. Agriculture • in • Industry By FLORENCE C. WEED Mints An effort is being made to grow in the United States some commodi ties which are becoming scarce and will soon be unattainable. Manufac turers and dealers in medicines, spices, and condiments who depend on a steady supply of these botan icals from abroad, are urging that they be produced here in greater quantities. Sage, the savory herb used in cook ing. can be easily and profitably grown here. Our American sage is usually of a better quality than the imported article, and growers are being offered very attractive prices for their crop. It is used widely in the meat packing industry and is also a standard ground spice for the pan try shelf. Sage is one of the 12 species of the mint family and can be started by cuttings or simply dividing the roots. From this family come many other crops which are commercially marketed. Spearmint is used for mint sauces and for flavoring chew ing gum; peppermint yields oil and menthol used in confections, flavor ings and medicines. Pennyroyal is used in medicine and the lemon scented leaves of bergamot are much used in perfumes.
