Forced Unheated Hay Drying Pays Hay drying with forced un heated air or barn curing of hay pays off in quality, more leaves and higher protein con tent, according to tin account of U. S. Department of Agri culture experiments received at the University of Nebraska. Here are some of the data taken on 1,000 pounds of hay in comparing it with another 1,000 pounds which was field cured: There was 43.6 per cent of the leaves retained in the bam cured hay and 34.7 per cent in the field cured. That meant 137 pounds of leaves lost in the field cured hay. There was 18.1 per cent pro tein in the barn cured hay as compared with the 15 per cent in the field cured hay. That means there were 181 pounds of protein in the half-ton of barn cured hay and only 129 pounds of protein in the field cured al falfa. Research Engineer G. M. Pe terson of the University of Ne braska figured on the basis of the USDA figures a farmer would loose one-seventh of his hay out of every ton by field curing, plus the additional feed ing value he would get if the hay were barn cured.

DOLAN United Press Staff Correspondent SACRAMENTO, Cal., (UP) The California state department of mental hygiene may have a "nartial answer ' to chronic al coholism in the conditioned re flex treatment. Dr. Lawrence Kolb. medical deputy director of the department, believes. Dr. Kolb said that since the start of the treatment at the state's hosoital at Hendocino five months ago, 83 patients have been treated and released on leave of absence. Of the group only six have returned because they "fell off the wagon." The treatment has been in use too short a time to be sure of its success, Dr. Kolb said, but "we are sure it is not a com plete cure for alcoholism." Reflex Built Up He described the process of an "unconditioning treatment." He explained that alcoholics have built up a condition with in themselves such that they find it almost impossible to re sist alcohol. The conditioned reflex treatment combats that condition by in turn Jouilding up in the patient a "strong re vulsion," for alcoholic liquors. Kolb said. Treatment Voluntary The medical director said the treatment consists of making drinking disagreeable by giving the patient a substance that will make him sick when he does drink. He is then given considerable quantities of liquor of all types to drink, with oc casional drinks of water. In spite of vomiting, he is kept at the drinking for approximately a half hour at a time for four or five consecutive days. Dr. Kolb said that during such half-hour treatments, the pa tients consume "several gallons" of liquid, none of which stays in their bodies. He pointed out the process is unpleasant and very strenuous. After several davs they develop a "strong re? vulsion to liquor and the idea of liquor." After finishing the "recondi tioning" process and other physiotherapy treatments, they are released if thought to be sufficiently cured. However, they are asked to "refortify" themselves by coming back after a few months to take a single treatment. Social workers keep track of the released patients to see if they continue to make progress or revert to alcoholism. Dr. Kolb stressed the point that the treat ment is not forced on anyone and is given to only those found to be physically capable. He said it is not considered benefi cial to alcoholic-insane people and is not given to them. He also pointed out that it is possible for all alcoholics to have a relapse, but it is "hoped" that this treatment will reduce the number that do "fall off the wagon." The six who returned for treatment after resuming drinking represent a consider able reduction in the number that normally returned before the use of the conditioned reflex-treatment, Kolb said. Council Approves Parking Meters For Installation Here (Continued from Page 1) and 4th, 5th and sixth streets. In his motion for the Dual au tomatic meter, Hirz included a clause for a one-year trial. According to Harry Heath, representative of the Dual meter company, who appeared before the council two weeks ago, the company .will install the meters for a trial period at no cost to the city. At the same time, the company and the city will split ;the revenue during the period. I He also told councilmen that the company's share of the rev- i enue will be applied to the cost I r-t v, . 1 ui mc meias, m event tne coun cil votes to buy meters. If the meters are purchased, payment will be made in the same man ner until paid for. In selecting the Dual meter, councilmen voted for the most expensive one exhibited in the council chamber since the park ing meter problem came up sev eral months ago. The price as quoted by Mr. Heath two weeks ago was $78. A unanimous vote was cast for Dual. But in selecting Dual, council men did not look so much at the price, as at the workman shiD and the timino- mprhnnlsm It was the opinion of the coun- i-ii, anu iviaycr w osier, mat Dual makes the best automatic meter displayed here. Even before they voted for the meters, Councilmen again saw a demonstration of another type meter. W. R. White, representa tive of the Mark Time Meter Company exhibited a mechani cal meter to the group. O. R. Goldsberry, Park-O-Meter sales man, was also present at the session. Taller Corn Attracts Borer .Farmers with taller corn than their neighbors have been warn ed by University of Nebraska en tomologists to keep a weather eye open because of the rnrn , borer's love for bigger corn. ! Dr. Harold J. Ball said the tal- ler corn will be acting as a trap crop for the European corn bor f er moths now laying. The bor . ers seem attracted to corn when it is 35 inches tall or more and A ignore the smaller plants. Egg hatching of the borers has started in some areas on a I small scale mostly In the east- . era part of the state.
