GRASS CONTROL
; DES MOINES, la. </P)—A large
gully on the Guy Hensley farm
near Paton, once deep enough to
hide a tractor, has now been
brought so well under control it
j could be farmed.
Ward Schilling, operating the
280-acre farm, used reed canary
grass to control the erosion. The
grass had been doubling itself ev
* ery year. Schilling says he does
not plan to farm it, however, nor
the surrounding upland. The up
land has been eroding too severely
to be cropped, he said. He will use
I the section for pasture. The grass,
which grows in clumps from two
to eight feet in height, makes fine
i pasture and hay.

captured the ash and ruins of
Osan, Kumyangjang and Chon.
Frontline morale soared as wea
ry fighting men realized—at least
locally—that the Allies th&d grab
bed the military initiative ‘back
from the Reds.
There was a strange lack of
Chinese resistance.
The Reds made their first seri
ous stand from Dugin positions
north of Kumyangjang at dusk.
They opened up on Third Division
doughboys from the hills with au
tomatic weapons.
Artillery also opened up on the
low hills one and one-half miles
north of Osan. Half-moons of
fresh brown soil on the snow there
had tipped off air observers to
new enemy emplacements.
Troops jumped off at 7 a.m. on
a nine-mile front. Their mission
was to re-establish contact with
the enemy and destroy as many
Reds as possible.
By noon a company of a fa
mous regiment had slogged
through the mushy snow into
Osan.
