\,,*AT SHALL BE DONE WITH THIS MAN
CALLED ROOSEVELT?.
Political analysts are unable to determine
whether the President's recent major moves
("Toward a Fourth Term") were just the blind
manifestations of his proverbial luck, or wheth
er the gestures were in the nature of coups-'d
etat toward his "goal."
That speech over the radio the other night
when Mr. Roosevelt outlined a plan to take care
of the boys after the war is over—this was just
a flimsily camouflaged ruse to capture the sol
dier vote in 1944.
At least that is the interpretation given by Mr.
Spangler, chairman of the Republican National
Committee, who froths because he and his com
mittee were asleep and let a smooth one be pull
ed over them.
Now take the veto of the anti-strike bill, which
struck amazement in the ranks of friend and foe
alike. The country was seething in its hate for
John L. Lewis, and demanding the outlawing of
strikes that retard the war effort. New Dealers
were aghast. Haters were jubilant over the
President's fatal strategy.
But it transpires that the chief executive knew
his stuff. He said the bill not only would not pre
vent strikes but would encourage them. The
truth of his position is proved by the continuing
strikes, the preparations being made by other
labor organizations for additional strikes, etc.
• And in the meantime while Congress innocent
ly voted and hated, Roosevelt had sewed up the
labor vote.
Now has the President blundered, or has he
shown the finesse of the master politician?
i .Col. McCormick, the publisher of the Chicago
Tribune, the world's greatest newspaper (so the
Tribune says), states that anybody can beat
Roosevelt. Yet the latest Gallup polls indicate
that nobody can.
£ The only chance we see is to amend the consti
tution and revise the Bill of Rights, taking away
please^'' P6 ° Ple t0 name whom they
But the main trouble with this plan is before
he constitutional change can be effected the
people will nominate and elect Roosevelt again.

VALUE OF WHEAT AS A HOG
FEED
(By E. V. VESTAL)
The experiment station Ims
done quite a bit of feeding in r*
gard to wheat and also in regaru
to plant protein recently and all
indications point to the fact that
ground wheat is equal or a little
better than shelled corn if the
wheat is not ground too fine.
In regard to feeding fattening
hogs on a floored pen or in &
small lot, coarsely ground wheat
jean take the place of both the
corn and the so called "chops"
but the chops will be of little
value as a supplement to mix with
I the wheat. One of the best mix
tures that they can use for fat
tening hogs would be a mixture
as follows:
85 pounds of coarsely groun,
wheat
l 4 pounds of soybeans or pea
nut oil meaf
1 pound of ground limestone
1-2 pound of salt.
Or
90 pounds of coarsely ground
wheat
10 pounds of tankp.ge or fish
meal
1 pound of ground limestone
1-2 pound of salt.
As for brood sows, feed the
wheat exactly as you would corn
pound for pound.

VALUE OF WHEAT AS A
DAIRY FEED
(By J. A. AREY)
Under normal conditions wheat
is not used in this State as a
dairy feed. Pound for pound it
has an equal feeding value to
corn, however, corn is usually the
cheapest feed.
In comparing wheat with corn
the pound weight per bushel mu&t
be taken into consideration as
well as the feeding value. A bu
shel of wheat weighs 60 pounds,
while corn weighs only 56
pounds. At $1.25 per bushel for
corn, wheat would have a feel
ing value of $1.33 per bushel.
At the Ohio Agricultural Ex
periment Station 30, 40 an d 30
percent of wheat in the grain ra-
I tion was found satisfactory fqr
dairy cows. In North Dakoti
. grain rations composed of one
third, one-half and two-thirds
drum wheat were fed with uat's
> factory results. The results of
these experiments indicate thai
