Thursday, September 26, 1940 THIS AND THAT Although we haven't had much to say about politics since the conventions, we'd personally rather have a third, or fourth or fifth term under Mr. Roosevelt than a first term under Mr. Willkie. What with the war to worr time to worry about the pres we do try to spare enough time to look on the front page for news of Mr. Roosevelt and search the inside pages for news of Mr. Will kie. Today (as we write this), is one of the hottest days we've had in months. So naturally today is the day that one of the boys here decided would be a fine time to build a fire in the furnace and burn a lot of junk and trash. A week or so ago we shivered here in the early morning, but the trash burning idea hadn't dawn ed at that time. Lots of men around here who are too old to be drafted are taking particular glee in pointing out to us, and others, who do have to register and are liable for military service, that married men will not escape the draft.

Especially on Sunday af ternoons. We have had several reports that a number of people didn't believe our announcement that the pre-historic animal pictured in this column recently had been caught in a mouse trap. In case we were wrong, and anyone hap pens to chance upon the animal, .we'd appreciate it if they will tie a rope around his neck and bring him down to The Tribune. Try to bring him at a time we are not in, please. The new Plymouth and Chev rolet have already been seen here. The new Ford is expected within a day or so, and so far as we have been able to find out, Ford is bringing out a 4-cylinder car, but it will probably be confined to the commercial vehicle class. Or are we wrong? Or will announce ment already be made by the time this hits print? Excuse us, but we hear one of the boys down in the basement poking up the fire. Don't be sur prised, next time you see us, if we are browned to a turn. Looks from here as if Ronda is going to have a resurrection one of these first days. THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA The sister of a young married woman who had Just recently be come the proud mother of a fine baby, was walking along the street when she was accosted by a friend. "And how Is the little weather strip?" the friend asked. "The who?" the sister asked, puzzled. -"The little weather strip," the friend replied. "I don't know what you are talking about," the sister said. "I mean your sister's new baby," explained the friend. "Oh, he's fine. But why call him weather strip?" "Because," the friend said, "he keeps father out of the draft." Wonder when a ship loaded with refugees, including many children, became a military ob jective? J. B. Bell, of Ronda, was telling us the other day of a Republican candidate for the office of con stable hereabouts, who told him In all seriousness that he was sure of carrying California. He thinks, said Mr. Bell, that the en tire nation has to vote on him. WINTER FEEDS FOR CATTLE SUGGESTED In the flood damaged areas many farmers will fee short of feed for livestock this winter. The use of small grains and legumes for winter grazing may help con siderably in carrying livestock over until grass in the spring. One good mixture for winter grazing is: 1 bu. rye, 2 bu. win ter oats, and 20 lbs. Austrian win ter peas. This mixture should be sown between October 1 and 15, and it may be grazed from De cember until April. It is advisable to fertilize this mixture with at least 200 lbs. of 4-10-4 fertilizer. Other similar mixtures will also give good results. Many farmers find their hay running low in the spring, and also find that in cutting enough hay to carry them over the win ter little land is left with good legume on it for soil improve ment. Good hay crops can be successfully grown in the winter and harvested in the spring. These mixtures of small grains and legumes make large yields and a good quality hay. Winter hay crops should be seeded in September and fertilized gen erously with 4-10-4 fertilizer. Some good hay mixtures are: winter oats—2 bu., barley—l bu., vetch— 10 lbs., and Austrian win ter peas—lo lbs. Another mixture is: winter oats—l& bu.. wheat— -1 bu., vetch—ls lbs., or Austrian winter peas—2o lbs. The formula for other mixtures of winter hay and grazing mix tures may be obtained from the county agent's ofice In Extension Circular No. 225, title, "Green Fields In Winter." Persons want ing this circular may write ,or call for it.
