hang heavy with

be made into jams and jellies. In
the midst of all this hum of activ
ity, it's lunch-time.
I know you hardly want to take
the time to stop to make it, but the
family will be indoors shortly. Some
thing quick and easy to fix, and yet
palatable enough to keep them sus
tained until dinner? That’s the or
der and here's the way to carry it
out:
1 Puree vegetables left over from
dinner the evening before and store
them in the refrigerator. All you
need to do is make up a thin cream
sauce quickly and add vegetables to
it; reheat and serve.
2. Keep a stock of sandwich fill
ings on hand and let the family
“spread” them for themselves dur
ing lunch time. It saves you work.
3. Salad ingredients are a “must”
for hot weather time. If there is
washed lettuce chilled until crisp
along with washed tomatoes, cucum
ber, green onions, radishes, green
peppers, and some of the fresh fruits
kept on tap. it's easy to toss a
salad together in the time you could
blink an eyelash. A variety of
dressings will keep salads from be
coming monotonous.
4. Draw heavily on fresh fruits for
desserts. Plan to make ice cream,
cake or cookies once a week to have
on hand for a quick solution to the
dessert problem.

Ladino Clover Aids
Farm Production
Returns Far Exceed
Costs of Handling
XTOT so many years ago. Ladino
^ clover was almost unknown ex
cept in the irrigated valleys of the
western states. Believed to have
come originally from Lodi, Italy,
the seed was first imported into the
United States about 1900.
Ladino clover is particul rly valu
able for grazing, according to U. S.
agronomists, due to its high carry
ing capacity and large protein-min
eral nutritive content, but it is also
adaptable for hay and silage and
is an excellent cover crop. These
characteristics make it especially
suitable for the limited farming
areas of states such as Vermont'and
New Hampshire, enabling farmers
to grow most of the protein needed
for their livestock, dairy and poul
try.
The plant is a rapid - growing
perennial legume, spreading by
creeping fleshy stems that root at
the nodes. The leaves, stems and
flower heads will grow from two to
four times as large as those of com
mon white clover, and about six
times as large as those of the Eng
lish wild white clover. The average
life of a good Ladino clover and

years, management and fertiliza

tion practices determining the ,
length of time it retains its value. |
Despite heavy requirements for
fertilizer and special care in man- '
agement, results from the use of j
Ladino adequately repay the effort.
Its particular value has been found
to lie in the handling of dairy
cattle and poultry where a high
yielding, nutritious, high - protein
feed is needed. This versatile crop
is being used increasingly for hay
and silage, particularly when grown
with other legumes and grasses, al
though it is primarily for grazing.
Sunflowers New Cash
Crop for Farmers
Sunflowers may soon rival corn
and soybeans in food value as well
as a cash crop. With sunflower oil
selling at 14.5 cents a pound and an
acre producing a ton of seed, the
farmers around Monticello, 111., ex
pect to produce more than corn or
soybeans.
Sunflowers have long been recog
nized as an excellent source of pro
tein and oil. America imported 120

million pounds of sunflower oil be
tween 1932 and 1936, mostly for edi
ble purposes.
One hundred acres of test plant
ing yielded 1.600 pounds of seed. It
was harvested by a clipover com
bine, self propelled, formerly used
for soybeans. Tests made at the
University of Illinois showed that
the seeds contained 53 per cent pro
tein and were easily digested. The
oil was excellent for salads and
cooking
Pays to Fight Weeds
To control weeds the following
points should be remembered: don’t
let weeds go to seed, buy only weed
free seeds and feeds, clean home
grown seeds carefully, grind or
screen weed-freed grain, and don’t
let machinery spread weeds.
Run-down weedy pastures should
be renovated and good rotation and
cultural practices resorted to with
intensive cultivation. It is possible
to eradicate perennials with sodium
chlorate.

Machinery Revolutionized
World’s Farming Methods
Up until 1800, farming methods
had remained much as they had
been in the days of Julius Caesar,
and humanity continued to suffer
from inadequate food supplies. The
change from iron-covered wooden
plows to cast iron plows had
marked agriculture’s chief mechani
cal progress.
Most of the farm machinery
w .lch has done so much to revo
lutionize the world’s agriculture
originated in the United States. The
reaper was invented in 1831, the
mower and threshing machine in
1834, the first combine in 1836. These
implements reduced the time re- i
quired to harvest an acre of wheat
from 36 man-hours to less than 12.
Today various labor-saving ma
chines on U. S. farms are esti
mated to number in excess of 10
million. Further, this same me
chanization of farming methods has
been extended to practically every
land, through the export of Ameri
can machines. Before the war, U. S.
manufacturers exported approxi
mately 125 million dollars worth of
farm machines a year, a fourth go
ing to Europe. Farm implement fac
tories in the United States, about
1,200 in number, have made a direct
contribution to the war, turning out
war machines and parts. Some of
the larger factories have been en
gaged 75 per cent in war work.

Burners Need Frequent
Cleaning for Efficiency
Surface burners need regular,
thorough cleaning. Take them out,
| brush away food or dust particles
| with a stiff brush. Use a brush also
to clean the air shutter. If openings
in the burners are clogged, use a
fine wire to clean them. Beware of
toothpicks; they may break and fur
ther clog the burner.
Clean cast-iron burners by boiling
them for a short time in a solution
of washing soda, one tablespoon to
three quarts of water. Then wash
in soap and water. Use a bottle
brush to clean the inside of the tube
leading to the burner head. Rinse
the burners in clear water, and wipe
dry. Put them upside down in the
warm oven for a few minutes to
dry thoroughly before replacing.
Burners of materials other than
cast iron should not be boiled in
soda water. A soap and water bath
will usually clean them satisfac
torily, with the aid of a scratchless
scouring powder and fine steel wool.
Mowing Machine
There is probably no piece of farm
equipment that suffers more from
poor adjustment and lack of care
than the mowing machine. Most cut
ting troubles of the mower can be
traced to the cutting bar. This bar
is a vital part of a mower and
consists of a series of shears whose
blades must be kept sharp for
best results. The two parts forming
the shears are known as knife sec
tions and ledger plates, and they
must be properly adjusted along the
entire length of the cutter bar. The
knife holder must keep the sections
down against the ledger plates with
out binding and without too much
clearance. In repairing a mower it
is necessary to remove all the
broken or badly worn knife sections
by shearing them off. This is easily
done over the anvil by cutting out
the rivets. If the guards have be
come dulled, they may be sharp
ened by grinding them to a blunt
point. Guards that are too badly
worn or have broken ledger plates
should be replaced. Badly worn
shearing plates or knife holders can
also be replaced, and it is very
important that all guards fit snugly
against the cutter bar.
Calf Care
Calves should be kept in individ
ual pens, where practical, until they
are three to four months old. After
reaching that age they may be
housed in groups of two to four.
Their pens should be kept dry, clean,
and freshly bedded daily. Small
calves should not be exposed direct
ly to hot summer sun for long pe
riods. A constant, fresh supply of
water should be kept available to
the calves. After the calf is four to
six months old, it should have ac
cess to all the tender grazing it will
take. Spring and early summer
calves will need daily feeds of dry
hay and sufficient grain to keep
them in growing condition through
their first year. Late summer and
early fall calves should be ready
to turn to pasture by late spring
However, they should be watched to
make sure that they continue 10
grow.
Poison Ivy
Ivy can be killed quickly and with
out danger to other vegetation by
the application of a spray contain
ing ammate, a chemical obtainable
at most farm equipment stores, ac
cording to Dr. E. A. Bessey, head of
the department of botany, Michigan
State college. A few squirts and the
job is done. The spray solution pen
etrates the pores of the leaves and
travels down the stems into the
roots, which quickly shrivel and
wither.

Home or Hatrack
WNU Washington Bureau
621 Union Trust Building
C‘TN TOO many instances today.
^ the home is pretty much of a
hatrack instead of a place of knowl
edge.”
This is the indictment against in
dolent American parents by J. Ed
gar Hoover, boss G-man of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, in ex
plaining that the nation faces “the
biggest juvenile crime problem in
history.”
Principal cure, says Mr. Hoover,
is widespread education of adult
population as to its responsibilities
and the inculcation of religion in
the homes. An estimated 1,393,655
crimes were reported in 1944, ac
cording to fingerprint cards exam
ined by the FBI. Of this number
age 17 stood out as the predominat
ing single age group among arrest
ed persons, followed in this respect
by ages 18, 19, 21 and 22 in order
indicated.
With the passing of each hour dur
ing 1944, more than 158 serious ma
jor crimes were reported to local
police authorities. That’s a major
crime about every 23 seconds. Ev
ery day during last year brought 28
felonious killings, 30 rapes, 150 ag
gravated assaults and left 120 per
sons robbed, 555 with their automo
biles stolen and the home or busi
ness place of 749 others burglarized.
On top of these 2,176 larcenies oc
curred in the average day.
And crimes in rural areas and
in the small towns kept pace
with crime in the larger cen
ters of population. Rural mur
ders and rapes decreased in 1944,
whereas urban crimes of these
types increased. On the other
hand, rural robberies were up
1.7 per cent while urban rob
beries declined 2.1 per cent. For
offenses of negligent manslaugh
ter, assault, burglary and auto
theft, the trend in both rural and
urban crime figures was upward
in 1944.
Arrest records received by the
FBI during 1944 in Washington
showed that 49.3 per cent of those
arrested for major crime have pre
vious criminal records and that cf
the youngsters committing serious
crime a larger percentage will con
tinue in a career of crime.
“Blame for juvenile delinquency
and crime can be laid on the shoul
ders of the lax parent and the home
... a lack of discipline and knowl
edge of right living is at fault,” Mr.
Hoover said.
Blame Can’t Be Shifted.
Efforts to shift the blartne from
the home to the clergy, to school
teachers and public officials don’t
hold water, for a knowledge of right
and wrong, the love of family and
neighbor and the tenets of religion
must be inculcated early and often
within the walls of the homes in
the lives of the nation's youngsters.
Mr. Hoover believes return of
gangsterism in this country such as
grew up following the last war can
be prevented. There has been a
large increase in hijacking recent
ly such as developed during the pro
hibition days and there is evidence
that remnants of old gangster gangs
have taken part in these crimes . . .
but through the efforts of the FBI
those mobs have been broken up and
the enactment of national laws sucn
as the kidnaping and extortion stat
utes, the unlawful flight to avoid
proserution law, the national stolen
property act and other laws, have
curbed the activities of gangsters
. . the success of the FBI in track
ing down criminals and their high
rate of convictions . . . about 97 per
cent ... is also proving a deterrent
against the organized crime of post
World War I days.
There likely will be no more
’ John Dillingers, or Dutch
Schultzs or Capone gangs, for
through the efficiency of the FBI
itself, its tough, hard-hitting,
straight shooting agents . . .
placing detection of crime on a
scientific basis . . . and the FBI
national police academy, where
police chiefs and other police of
ficers are trained to fight crime
scientifically . . . highly organ
ized gangs just cannot get a foot
hold as they once could.
And speaking of crime . . . accord
ing to the Wickersham report, it is
costing the taxpayers of the nation j
about 15 billion dollars each year.
That’s more than the total quota of
the Seventh War loan. It is more
than the cost of education.
The FBI has won the respect and
the trust of the nation, particularly
during these war years when it has
had the responsibility of espionage
and sabotage and has prevented any
act of sabotage by enemy action.
Every agent must have an im
peccable reputation, must be phys
ically perfect and must be a grad
uate of an accredited law school
and admitted to the practice of law,
or a graduate of an accredited ac
counting school with at least three
years experience in commercial ac
counting or auditing. So an FBI
agent is not just a police officer
He is trained in criminal investiga
tion work after he becomes an agent
of the FBI and is qualified for all
types of investigation within the bu
reau’s jurisdiction. Selection is
careful and discipline is strict.

.NEBRASKA SAFETY PATROL
Your baby’s first cereal feeding
is an important day in his life.
This will be his first contact with
food that is not a drink. If his
orange juice and cod liver oil have
been taken from a spoon, so much
the better, for the spoon isn’t
strange, though the cereal is. <
For the first feeding of cereal,
make it very thin so it will hot be
so different from his milk. The
baby cereals are pre-cooked and
only need to be mixed with quite
warm formula or milk. If your
baby is breast-fed, your doctor will
tell you how to prepare the milk
to use on the cereal. A very thin,
almost liquid cereal, will not seem
so strange.
But even a thin cereal requires
a different way of swallowing than
the milk he has had. Milk slides
down through his mouth but more
solid food has to be managed with
i his tongue, so his first impulse may y
be to spit it out. Pretend spitting
out of his cereal is what you ex
pected and place a little.more well
back in his mouth.
Usually a new food is given at
the beginning of the meal. But,
baby is probably ravenously hun
gry and may resent trying some
thing unfamiliar. In that case,
give about half of his bottle (or
breast milk) before expecting him
to be willing to try something new.
When the worst of his hunger is
satisfied with his familiar food,
then introduce the new food.
It is well not to confuse baby by
giving a second cereal for the first
week or so. But, even babies en
joy variety, so, before long you
can give him a wheat cereal food
one day and then an oatmeal the
oext day.
