LUGSCH CL ft' War Cemeteries Best of Care in Europe American war cemeteries in Europe are beautifully located, well maintained and are deeply respected by the people of the communities in which they are located. This was the report made by Mrs. Norton II. Pearl, of Detroit, Mich., last years National Presi dent of the American Legion Auxiliary, on her return from a six-weeks tour of the cemeteries and battle fields in the Europe Jin area. Mrs. Pearl with Mrs. -e W. Hutton, of Excelsior, Minn.. National President. a.nd Mrs. Gwendolyn Wigcin Mac Dowel 1, of Story City. Iowa. National Secretary, formed the official Auxiliary delegation on The American Legion's Euro pean tour. They visited ceme teries in England, France, Bel gium and Italy. '"Before we left for Europe," said Mrs. Pea.:l, "we received many letters from mothers ask ing us to see the spots where their beys are buried and re port back to them the condi ; tion : f these cemeteries. A spec- ial purpose cf our tour was to carry out these requests. "When ever we visited a cemetery, people living in he community came to meet us, : the v.Tien carrying flowers in ; their arms for us to place on the ; graves. They told us thr.t they : considered it a real privilege to go to the cemeteries on American ; holidays to honor the American I dead. "In the permanent cemeteries SPRING IS COMING!

Department of Agri culture will tell you that. So will many a far sighted rancher and farmer out of his actual experience. So will students and teachers of land management everywhere ... In that bright pos sibility of range and pasture improvement lies one principal hope for more food for a hungry world. Not only more food, but better food. For proper grassland management will improve the fertility of the land, and the nutritive value of the foods coming off it. It will save the land, too, protecting the precious layer of topsoil from blowing away or washing off to sea. And it will increase the amount and value of hay for cash crop or winter feeding. The way is wide open for you to improve your grass. Strong and willing allies stand ready to help you. For advice and active help in planning your own grass-management program, there's your County Agent . . . For technical, practical help in putting your program into operation, call on the Soil Conservation Service technician who lives in your district . . . And for information on newest experimental developments, call on your State Agricultural College or experiment station. The program of good management for your grassland which you work out togetpr will prob ably consist of some or perhaps all of the following practices. you're in the range coun try: (1) Livestock numbers balanced to the amount of grass you can produce. (2) A rotation schedule of seasonal grazing. (3) Water located conveniently. (4) Elimination of excessive brush. (5) Wider distribution of salt to prevent over grazing near salt source. (6) Re-seeding of over used or abandoned range. (7) Introduction of improved native grasses and adapted new grasses. (8) Irrigation. (9) Protection against wind and wrater erosion. yours is farm pasture land: (1) Liming. (2) Fertilization. (3) Seeding with pasture mixtures which stretch the grazing sea son at both ends. (4) Weed control by mowing or chemicals. (5) Rotation grazing. (6) Avoid ance of over-grazing. (7) Irrigation. We of Swift & Company have the same deep, basic interest that you have in range and pas ture improvement. More and better grass is to our interest as it is to yours and to the nation's. That's why we urge you to act, if you have not already done so, to increase the productiveness of your grasslands. jfaiAa Slogan iecite foi SPRINGTIME PORK AND VEAL (Yield: 5 to 6 servings) V pound pork shoulder 2 tablespoons flour Vi pound veal shoulder 1 tablespoon sugar Vi cup diced rhubarb Vi cup wcter 1 Vi teaspoons salt Cut pork end veal into 1-inch cubes.

C. At. Vestal Soda Ei'S ccz: : ; . that flattery is soft soap and soft soap '- 've: OUR CITY COUSIN Cries Our City Cousin to the hired man, "Please turn off that big electric fan!" Cm il Profit Comes from SAVING! The story at the head of this page is about farmers and ranchers making the most of their grasslands. By good plan ning, managing well, and operating efficiently, they can grow more grass, produce more food for the world, and make more money. While writing that story, I was struck by a similarity in the Swift business. For it is careful planning and efficient operation that keep us in business, too. Like you with your grassland, we've got to make the most of what we have. We've got to practice efficiency. We, also, must cut costs, operate with economy. Not only the important economy of finding uses and markets for every possible by-product, but economy and efficiency all along the line. Maybe you saw Swift's recent financial report for 1947. It showed that we earned $22,334,977 after pro vision of $12,000,000 for high cost additions to fixed assets. This earning represented one cent out of our average dollar of sales. That one cent was earned in large part by the savings we made. The operating fig ures of our business prove that statement. They show where the savings came from. New methods of doing things which save time and cost. Modern equipment replacing old, worn equipment. Better ways discov ered by Swift research to produce, use and handle Swift products. A small saving here . . . another there . . . little economies pyramiding into big economies. Until, added together, the savings which we made last year in the actual day-by-day operation of the Swift business amounted to a considerable part of our earnings. Careful planning, good management and efficient operation are "musts" in our business as in yours. "Lit tle things" can often add up to the difference between a profit and a loss. TA.5imj son. Agricultural Research Department Save More Spring Pigs by C. M. Vestal, Purdue University Surveys indicate that one out of every three pigs farrowed dies before weaning age. These death losses are one of the biggest leaks in the hog business. They can be reduced during the cold spring months bv the use of electric brooders in individual farrowing houses or pens of a central house. A three-year study and observation of 105 litters showed that an average of one and one-half more pigs was saved per Utter when electric brooders were used in individual farrowing houses. The death loss from chilling was 10 per cent in the unheated houses against 2.2 per cent in those equipped hvith heated brooders. These losses in the houses without heat increased when the weather became colder. Outdoor temperature, however, had little if any effect on death losses when the electric brooders were used. The electrically heated pig brooder, either home made or a factory-made type, proved to be the most practical method of supplying heat. The brooder pro vides a small area in the pen or house which can le heated economically. The simplest type oi brooder is a 150-watt reflector flood lamp suspended over a protected area for the pigs in a corner of the pen or house. Installation and use of electric pig brooders require the necessary careful handling of electricity. Details for the construction of a pig brooder usually may be obtained from county agents or Agricultural Experiment Stations. "Weigh 'em to Swift!" opens and cattle crowd into the alley, headed for the scales. A cry rings out,"Weigh 'em to Swift!" Another lot of livestock has been sold to Swift & Company. That deal is a miniature of the business rela tionship between livestock producers and meat packers. When this lot of steers was "finished," the producer sent them to the stockyards, con signed to a commission firm. In the "yards" livestock buyers came to look and make their competitive bids. Competition is always keen because 26,000 meat packers and other com mercial slaughterers in the United States are active in livestock buying. Each buyer knows that unless he bids "the going price" for the animals he wants, some competitor will get them. Also, he knows that if he bids too high his company will take a loss. Thus competition and the law of supply and demand set the prices all along the line. This load of steers went to Swift & Company because the Swift buyer offered more than other buyers. And the price he paid was based on his estimate of what the meat, hides, glands and other by-products would be worth to Swift & Company.
