It was found that the irrigated 1 plots provided 257 cow-days of ft grazing £>er acre, compared with f>i 17fi? days for the non-irrigated plots. The irrigated plots produced 12r^)20 pounds of milk with 255 pounds of butterfat, compared with only 8,019 pounds of milk with 354 pounds of butterfat from th|Jnon-irrigated plots. t A Surprised Thief H ill t iml Python In Suitease 4 t Hagerstown, Md.

Using.Ms\m To Test Intoxication After an experiment which has I i Kteiwlec* ovf-i „ pei i,«i of six months, the New York Police De j partment has begun a eitv-wide i use of what the New York Times: calls "drunkometei tests.” The: tests.^’e scientific ..tests to tie-1 ternune the soberness of drivers accused of violations. In the past, the New York Po-! lice Department—like most other , police departments—has relied cn j visual tests, and unscientific j means For the past six months, a pilot p’o.iect has been conduct ed in Manhattan, and the results show that convictions for drun ken driving there have increased considerably, and that very few drunken drivers are released be cause of a lack of proof, as was heretofore the case. A State law was reinforced by the State Legislaturein Albany in 1953, so that drivers accused of violations refusing to take the chemical test for intoxication be-' came liable to license revocation. Before July, 1953, drivers could not be required to take the test under any penalty and had to do so -voluntarily. People Eai Well In This Country The American habit of eating I well has b.een'an important fac tor in keeping retail sales at a high level, according to the report of a study marie by the Commerce i department. In its “survey of cur rent business' the department’s publication says that sales by food stores, nut including eating and drinking places, were at a season ally adjusted annual rate of $40, 552.000. 000 m the first half of 1953. Fmm January through Ap ril of this year, food stores sales were practically the samf, at an annual rate of $40. 523,000,000. Sales by retail stores as a whole averagfied an annual rate of $172, 414.000. 000 in fhe first six months of last year, and sank to a rate of $167,227,000,000 in the first , four months of 1954, the report I said. Sales of durable goods stores i soaked up nearly the entire reduc tion of $5,187,000,000 in the an | nual t.df of retail sales• from early 1953 to early 1954.

During the first year of its i founding, F. B. I. Director J. Ed gar Hoover said the division re ceived additional cards at a rate of fewer than five hundred a day. Now the division is receiving an average of 17,00u cards daily from about 12,000 police agencies, military installations, defense olants and the like in the United States and eighty-three foreign countries and United States pos sessions. The peak came in the World War II year of 1943. when : 28,733,286 cards were received. | The fingerprint cards are di I vided into two divisions—the cri i minal and the noncriminal. Mr. Hoover said the noncriminal cards, which make up eighty per cent of the total, are used for such purposes as identifying am nesia victims and victims of acci , dents and disasters and helping to locate missing persons. With the help of the criminal cards the r division has turned up to date more than 190,000 •‘wanted” men and women. i Senate Facing: Special Session I Jus1 as Congressmen and Sena tors are ready to head for home, after severeel months of gas war fare in Washington, the word comes from the White House that President Dwight D. Eisenhower may be forced to call a special session of Congress this fall. The issue which may cause such a move at the' White House is that of West German sovereignty. The Administration is reliably reported in Washington to be far more concerned over the issue of sovereignty for free Germany than over the crisis in Indochina. Germany, unlike Indochina, is (• perhaps the key country in Eur ope and one of the key countries in the light against Communism in all the world. • The United States and Great Britain promised West Germany sovereignty sometime ago and only objections from the French have kept them from filling this 1 m GertnaTiy*I ir>g and the Communists are—of course—rea dy to take advantage of broken promises from the United States und Great Britain. The most immediate danger is the fact that the Soviet Union can make political hay out of the situation in East Germany, where it controls the press and wfcere the Russians could argue that West Germany has attained no more freedom than East Ger many. The United States and Great Britain desire to give West Germany sovereignty so that West Germany may actually be come a free nation. After the present session of Congress ends—it is expected to end in the first two weeks in August—Congress was not sche duled to reconvene until a new Congress — the Eight-Fourth— meets in January. However, the President eould call back his Eighty-Third Congress in a spe cial session—a practice which i seems to occur more frequently than not—and put the issue of 1 German sovereignty before this i Congress? | It is thought that the House of i Representatives may not be re j convened, since only Senate ap ; proval of a West German agree ment would be necessary.

The purvey was : | conducted by H. J. Malsberger, j j Forester and Gene .'a! Manager m I the Southern Pulpwood Conser I vat.ion Association, Atlianta, Ga. J i “This figure exceeds the Indus-1 trv s effort of last year by 3 1-4 million trees,’' Maisberger slat ed. “It has resulted,” he continu-! ed, “in putting 9,571! additional acres of idle land to work grow- j ing profitable crops of trees." This is of great importance to the! State whose economy is so close ly related and dependent upon its forests and forest industries. All of these trees were purchas ed from the nursery operated by State Forester Claridge with the exception of 177,000 which were secured from T. V. A. j The industry planted 5.395 acr-' es of its lands and contributed! to small landowners enough trees to plant 4,177 acres. In many cas-1 es, the use of tree planting ma-1 chines by the landowner was al to provided hy the industry. Crime Program On Television The television industry is now offering the nation's children four times as many crime shows as it did as late as 1951. The" ’Natrona.} --Avsor iatrnrv —fc.tr better radio and television, which recently made this report, says tests of TV programs show that of sixty hours and ten minutes show time monitored during a! week's study, twenty-six hours and ten minutes of this time was found to be "objectionable." Only eighteen and a half hours were rated excellent or good for children's viewing, and fifteen and a half hours were rated as fair or poor for children’s view ing. The Association also found that the TV fare in the field of "Wes terns," represented a "sordid dis tortion of the historical develop ment of the Old West," and also contained too much brutality, crime and murder. In line* with recent drives to clean up comic books, the Associ ation is making an effort to clean up the rotten shows which are viewed daily by millions of Am erican youngsters, ''’he increasing rate of juvenile disorder, reck lessness and destruction of pro perty can be traced, at least par iiurrtss.v ren gei in many V<>miT*WWR'sTfinTi on their TV screens.

S And Britain! By Stanley ia»M (Washington Correspondent) j Washington A Imlal S'atcsj and a British aurnitt company . are engag^H in a close race to get I -'•4'irc-fr4^. zr\ r*-im ._<iw hopping the * Bantu: non-stop in-j to operat.■*• Only a couple of weeks ago the! U. S. company Boeing flew its | first test model of a ninety-five , ton giant which will probably be come the first U. S.-built all-jet commercial airliner. The big plane is powered le four jet engines said to turn out about 10.000 pounds of thrust each. Its speed is estimated to be in the 500-miie-an-hour class. It's range is great. Within a week, the DtTIavil land Aircraft Company in Great Britain successfully flew the first proto-type of the Comet III. which De Havilland claims to be the first jet airliner with the cap acity to hop the Atlantic. The Comet III is also powered with four jet engines, reportedly j producing 10,000 pounds of thrust i also. Its speed is expected to be us great, or greater, than that of the Boeing jet. De Havilland and i is still holding grounded its Co | met I aircraft, which operated i two years before several acci dents caused their grounding. The Cornel I carried 36 passen gers, hut the Comet III will have room for as many as 76, and should be able to fly from New Yo>k to London in roughly five hours, non-stop. Whether its hen vier American-built competitor ; will bc' kbic ~tii'"march 'that per--; i formance is not now known. De Havilland says it will be about two years before the Co met Ill's go into operation. Dur ing that time, several’ U. S. oom j panies, including Boeing, will be going forward with plans of their own. While Boeing is building its big jets primarily for the mili tary, the thought of commercial models is also being given attten tion and an effort is being made to catch up with the British in this field.
