with a "Prope/-R-Feed" distributor
Yes—you will benefit five ways when you equip your
farm with a John Deere "Propel-R-Feed" Distributor.
First of all, as the owner of an "LF," you'll have a
machine that distributes fertilizer evenly in quantities
as low as 20 pounds per acre. You'll have a lime dis
tributor that handles all types of lime uniformly m
quantities up to 10,000 pounds per acre. Equipped with
row-crop bottom slides, your "LF" becomes tne iaeal
machine for side-dressing many cultivated crops. Equip
ped with a grain feed shaft, it will handle small grains
and hard-to-handle grasses. And another attachment
equips it for sowing small grass seeds. Of course, cal
cium chloride, cinders, and similar materials may also
be handled efficiently and economically with your "LF."

WESTERN STATES
ENDORSE STATEHOOD
A resolution, endorsing Alaska
Hawaii Statehood was adopted by
the Western States Conference at
a meeting held in San Francisco
last month.
The resolution in part points
out that Alaska and Hawaii have
been incorporated as territories of
the United States for many years,
and by the very act of such incor
poration as U. S. Territories have
been promised the full privileges
of statehood with first class citiz
enship for the peoples of Alaska
and Hawaii. “North political par
ties have recognized that every
consideration of fairness demands
that the people of these territories
be given the full privileges of
American citizenship in their
platforms and other party declar
ations . . . The granting of state-"
hood to these territories will
strengthen the United States im
measurably in human resources
and in its foreign relations par
ticularly as regards the great Pac- j
ific Basin Area” ... j
The resolution asks that Alaska
and Hawaii be admitted to the
Union in 1957 and further resolv
es that copies of the resolution
be sent to every western senator
and congressman and that each
of them be requested to make
every effort to see that 'bills to
grant statehood to Alaska and
Hawaii be promptly considered
and passed.

NOTES
By Lew Hanks, District Agent
4-H enrollment time is here,
with a big program planned for
this summer.
Enrollment blanks are avail
able at all schools or the Exten
sion Office. We need to know the
enrollment now so that project
clubs and leaders may be lined
out. Everyone interested in 4-H
is urged to bring their enrollment
sheets to the Extension Office
now. %
Our weather has been unusual
ly mild this spring. Fertilizer, has
just arrived and now is a good
time to start getting it on our
grasslands. The standard recom
mendation for fertilizing grass
land is about 300 pounds ammon
ium nitrate, 175 pounds of am
monium phosphate (11-48) and 50
pounds of potash per acre. Spread
early in the morning when the
ground is still frozen. You may.
have to miss potholes and snow
banks but it’s well worth it.
Speaking of other things. I’d
like to congratulate the Garden
Club in their work in starting a
campaign to improve the looks of
the Valley. Now that the snow
is going we can all see the piles
of rubbish around that accumu
late each winter. Let’s have at it
and clean them up. We have a lot
of town and farm homes now that
look like the residents had some
pride of ownership. Let’s the rest
of us get with it. We’re here to
stay. Let’s look like it.
