Important Catch â€" Anton Nilsson, captain of a Swedish lishing boal, i)oints to ilie hole in an airplane wheel his vessel picked up in tlie Baltic Sea. Naval authorities say the wheel could have come from the unarmed Navy plane that disappeared over the Baltic after an attack by Soviet fighters. Nilsson and the wheel are now in Stockholm, Sweden. mPAMFfiONT lm12u.55eLL. Most folks who raitc btef cattle know tliat they can make more beef on a mixture of legume and grass than is possible on straight grass. But they also know that it's a tough job to keep a good legume-grass mixture going for more than two or three years. That's because the grass has a tendency to crowd out the legumes. * » * Nine years of testing at the Il- linois Kxpcriniental Farm showed the following results: They got 342 pounds of gain per acre the first ytar of a legume-smooth brome pasture. The following year, they got 126 poimds LK.SS gain, as the smooth hrome had taken over 80 to S5 |)er cent, of the pasture. And at the same time, the gains on a legume - orchard grass mixture DROPPED from 245 pounds to 169. * * * The Illinois folks are stilt working on the perfect answer to this prob- lem. But, up to now, they have found that what works best for them is called the Haas mixture. This is a mixture of two bushels of oats, with 2 lbs. of red clover, sweet clover, alsike clover, timothy and rape per acre. .Steers gained as much as 298 pounds per acre on first-year Haas mixture, and UP TO 416 POUND.S THE SECOND YEAR! Sounds interesting, to say the least! * * » A lot of the news you see regard- ing farming these days seems to echo the tone of what you read on the front and editorial pages. Wliile those whose task it is to peer into the future aren't predicting disaster today, or even tomorrow, still their outlook is rather gloomy. So, for a change, this success story â€" as re- ported in The Farm Journal (Phil- adelphia) â€" might he welcome. It tells of how a man, over in Indiana, was almost wiped out hack in 1940, but managed to build his income from $700 to $17,000 in less than a decade. What's more, it was cows that pulled him througli. * * » Ten years ago, things weren't going any too smoothly for Russel Magnus; in fact, he freely admits he was just about down to his last nickel. The general situation was not any loo good, and a bad attack of Bang's disease and mastitis had just about wiped out liis dairy herd. * * * But this farmer and his wife weren't the easy quitting type. They were willing to try it again, so they pulled tip slakes, bundled together their six children, and took off for a farm they had bought about 60 miles away.- * * « It wasn't much of a farm. You probably know the sort â€" old, hilly, nm-dowiiâ€" a fine place to go really broke on. But it hadn't cost much â€" around $40"an acreâ€"and it was a place lo make a start with two "cull" cows and five heifers they took along. * » ♦ Although Mangus was down for the count then, he was far from "out," as the events of the last 10 years |irove. Since then, hifl wheat yield has jumped from 10 bushels to .iO bushels per acre; his oat yield Was climbed from 2S bushels to .SO bushels; his corn is up from 25 bushils 111 as liigh as 90 bushels. And his herd of seven cows has grown lo 45. • ♦ ♦ Those cows are doing mighty well. too. Last year, they averagedâ€" on testâ€" 1.1,311 pounds of milk, and 448 pounds of butterfat. Mangus' gro.-,s income of $700 that first year has climbed to $17,000 in 1947, and $15,000 in 1948. * » » How did he do it? Well, those dairy cattle, for one thing; they ate up the roughage it took to put through Mangus' land improvement program. * t t When he went on the farm, grass would hardly grow on half of the place. .So, little liy little, he limed; fertilized; tested his soil; re-limed; re-fertilized; changed his fences; sunk sonic deep-rooted legumes into his tired, hard-to-work soil; and planted several acres of evergreens on some washed-out slopes â€" and added some g^ass waterways.- * • • Back in 1940, Mangus had to buy hay; 20 acres of meadow on the back of the farm yielded exactly seven tons of timothy. Now he gets an easy average of three tons of alfalfa-clover to the acre. » » * Just in case you're wondering what happened to the disease trou- bles, don't sell Mangus short; he learned his lesson. Now his herd gets a Bang's test and a T.B. test every six months or so. He keeps his cows healthy. And those healthy cows gave him a net profit last year â€"above feed costsâ€" of $370.10 apiece. » * * Today, after 10 years, Mangus has his farm practically paid for. He could have paid for it by now, but he has improved, remodeled and modernized the buildings on the farm. * * « He and his family are living a Kle that's a far cry from that $700 beginning hack in 1940. Where Did The Wild Pigeon Go? What happened to the millions of beautiful passenger pigeons once so common in America and now be- lieved to he extinct? This mystery is referred to by Miss W. L. Puxley in her absorbing hook of travel, "Strayed Among Lonely Islands." In the last century, they were so immerous as to constitute a plague. She describes: "A vast host of beautiful birds with long tails and bright red bodies, which literally filled the air. "For three day.', the birds kepi on flying in a column a mile wide, and the whole column was about 250 miles long when a fresh one appeared. Round and round they wheeled as they swept by, witli such a rush of millions of wings that no one could make their voices heard unless they shouted, however near to the person addressed. When they settled to rest, they left the woods in ruins for 40 miles, and great branches were broken by their weight, while many trees were killed by them. Year after year, this went on, bringing food lo the settlers who dried the meat for the winter; until one year it was noticed that the pigeons were fewer in num- ber, and the following year they were very few." A year or two later, there were none at alt and not one specimen of the species has ever been seen since. What was the cause of their dis- appearance? Your guess is as good as those of the scientists. Counting, as we do, a large num- ber of trout fishermen among our friends and acquaintances, it has long been our desire to pay due credit to those intrepid souls. The fearlessness, determination, disre- gard for personal comfort and about seven other deadly virtues displayed by those heroes in pursuit of their dangerous prey is worthy of the highest honors we weaker mortals can give them. « • * But, up to now, the proper words and phrases have utterly tailed to flow from our long-suffering type- writer. Still, everything comes to him who waits â€" to coin a phrase â€" and just the otlier day, we ran across what might be called "The Perfect Tribute lo Trout Fisher- men." The man who paid it is no raw hand. For 50 of his 70 years, he has lieen guiding hunters and fishermen through a vast wilderness area, and so speaks with HUthority. .'\nd here is what he has to say: * » ♦ ".'V confirmed trout fisherman is just like an ordinary man in most waysâ€" except that his brains have been beat out." ♦ * * A very ancient adage runs, "To the victor belong the spoils," or some such; and it is another of those old sayings that arc true â€" or false, just as the case may be. Biff Bennett, writing in Sport Magazine, •recalls an interesting instance of the loser getting alt the gravy, rath- er than the winner. * * * In the baseball record books you will find emblazoned the name of Bobby I'ellcr who, on an afternoon back in 1938, struck out exactly 18 Detroit Tigers in a nine-inning game. Unless this mark has been bettered between the time these lines are written and when they appear in printâ€" which is unlikely, considering the trouble pitchers arc having with the new rules â€" that record still stands. It wis one of the greatest hurling feats in baseball bistorv, bcvond a doubt. ' * * * But, although most baseball fans liavc heard of Rapid Robert's won- derful work that afternoon, how many of you remember even the name of a guy named Harry Eisen- stat. Not so very many, we'd be v.'illing to bet. Yet the afternoon when Feller, pitching for Cleveland, whiffed that record-breaking dozen and a half of the Tigers, on the mound for Detroit was Mr. Eisen- stat. WHAT IS MORE, DE- TROIT WON THAT BALL GAME BY A SCORE OF 4 to 1. "To the victors," etc. Phoocy! * « * Still, there are plenty of forgotten men in sport. Danny Gardella, for another example. It isn't so long since Danny's name was ar.pearing ill big type on every sports page from coast to coastâ€" for Danny was the man who had the audacity to sue organized baseball for the sum of $.300,000. * * * Mr. Gardella claimed that organ- ized ball had .deprived him of his right to make a living in the major leagues, just because he had done some playing "south of the border, down Meliico way." Nobody knows for certain just what Danny got out of his suit as it was settled out of court, and Happy Chandler isn't saying. But, for a while, it looked as if the suit might bust the game wide open and, as Arthur Daley puts it, wlien the settlement was made, organized baseball took its first deep breath in months. * * * Now, Gardella's name has popped up in the news dispatches again, and most of us had to jiive our memories a couple of sharp jabs to recall just who he was. He made the news this time â€" in small type â€" just because the St. Louis Card- inals, from whom he had been draw- ing wages, had shipped him down to one of their minor league farm- ettes, ill Houston. Texas. * * ♦ The truth of the matter seems to be that Danny never was a real big leaguer. When he managed to get a fair clout at the ball, it was liable to travel quite a piece â€" but even that wasn't any too often as, in his best year with the New York Giants tiis hatting average was a non-too- sensational .272. * « * His fielding was apparently of the same variety as that of one, Yencer Wiedensaul, who used to do a spot of outfielding for the Toronto Maple Leafs back in the days when Gran- maw and Grampaw were stepping out.

A baseball re- porter once wrote, "Gardel'a caught the ball â€" unassisted." .\nil, again, "Gardella made a sensational catch of an easy fiy hall." * * » Danny was a practical joker, too, of a somewhat ghoulish kind. Like the time in Cincinnati when he and Napoleon Reyes were roomed on the 23rd floor of their hotel. Reyes had just finished shaving and stepped back into the bedroom. It was empty; the door was locked from the inside; the window was wide open; and on the table was a note, reading, "Life is too nnicli for me." 1: * * Trembling and afraid. Reyes tot- tered to the window and peered out, expecting to sec the mansled corpse of his teammate lying fai below. Instead, there was Danny grinning at him, hanging by his hands from the ledge with nothing between him and the pavement but 23 stories of fragile Cincinnati air. » * * But now, Danny the forgotten man, is back in the minors. We wish him well and hope that he manages to get up top again and stick there as he had â€" if nothing else â€" plenty of color. But even more than that, we wish that his suit against organized baseball had gone through. It would be mterest- irg to take a look at the inside works of "the worltl's greatest, etc., etc.," and see just wliat rcal'.v makes it tick. FOR 8ALB Horse-Keeping Costly Are you keeping an oltl team arountl the place for an occasional job, or because of sentiment? If so, it probably costs you a lot more than you realize. In a study of average expense of horse labor, the University of Wyoming has found that it was as much as $7.77 an hour, where hors«s were used for little work. The average cost of horse labor was $1.52 an hour. Economistsâ€" not taking the horse's or the farmer's feelings into account â€"sternly advise disposing of the draft animals. The pasture and feed released for beef or dairy cattle will bring better returns. Coming into the kitchen from shopping, she could smell burning.
