'•'Its hard to believe that
these fellows are veterans

"They have been called
the young, inexperienced
team for so long, and have
come through their tough
battles as underdogs
against older, heavier
squads to learn game skills
the haid way, that it seems
strange to regard them as
belonging to a veteran unit
and ready for another season".
"It will be very interesting to see what they
can do with their schedule
in the coming fall".
The squad will have to
wait through two days of
chalk talks and indoctrination before the rules allow workouts and conditioning drills.
After exams today the

Moist Silage
Is Danger
In Drouth
Drought - stricken corn
silage may contain high
levels of nitrates which
can cause potential problems when fed to livestock,
according to Michigan State
University authorities.
Dr. Clifford C. Beck,
Extension veterinarian and
,©on^ld. Hillman,. Extension
dairyman, warn farmers
that they should not be too
hasty in putting corn in
the silo. The moisture
content of corn silage may
remain very high, although
several leaves have turned
brown near the bottom of
the stalk. Allowing more
time for the plant to grow
and ears to develop could
also increase the quality
of the silage. Much of the
nitrate might also disappear as the result of
growth and maturity of the
plant.
The' Extension specialists suggest these points
to avoid nitrate toxicity
problems   with   livestock:
(1) Allow the crop to
reach maturity before ensiling.
(2) Let the silo stand,
two to three weeks after
filling before feeding the
silage.
(3) Make feeding changes
gradually - feed small
amounts for a few days and
give added roughage in the
form of hay for about a week
to permit cattle to adjust
to the new feed.
(4) Feed grain liberally
to  dilute  the nitrate-containing feed and enhance
conversion    of   nitrate to
ammonia.
(5) Be sure cattle are
receiving adequate levels
of Vitamin A. Cattle getting a heavy silage ration
and very little hay should
receive 30,000 I.U. of Vitamin  A    per head daily.
(6) Be sure cattle are
getting iodized salt. Nitrate problems are more
serious when cattle are deficient in iodine. The iodine contained in salt fortified with dicodosalicylir-
acid is reported to be
poorly utilized.

A new yellow reflector
tape is being .applied on
state trunklines for temporary markings in construction areas.
The tape has been under
tests by the Highway Department for the past year
and has proved highly
.successful where all traffic must be channeled into
one lane.
When applied to a clean
dry pavement, with an adhesive primer, the tape
has such lasting qualities
that even snow plows have
failed to dislodge it.
St. Cecilia's school will

Church Of God
Eldership
Assigns Pulpits
The 112th annual Elder-
Ship     of    the    Michigan
Churches  of God in North
America  met August 1st
through   4th   at   the   New
Haven   Church in Sumner.
Pastors, Elders and Delegates from Arthur Center,
Eagle, Elm Grove, Colonville,   in this area were
among those in attendance.
Rev. Alvin Rockey was
elected speaker, Walter
Kleiner, Clerk, Connie
Randall, reporter, Edna
Brannon, financial secretary and Marion Kramer,
treasurer.
As trustee of Findlay
College, Walter Kleiner
gave a fine report. President Richard Kern of the
Winebrenner Theological
Seminary at Findlay addressed the group giving
the highlights of the Seminary program.
One thing worthy of note
was that all churches had
paid every.obligationinfull.
Church extension was given
serious consideration with
plans outlined for the coming year.
Since "Eldership" denotes a meeting of the
elders only, and church
business now includes delegates of the laity, this term
was changed to "Conference", and all future meetings will be announced as
the Michigan Conference of
the Churches of God in
North America.
Rev. Charles Hilliard
was elected manager of the
camp board, Rev. Alvin
Rockey, dean, and Rev.
Ruth  Showers, registrar.
The annual memorial
service took place the last
afternoon of the conference.
Connie Randall as chairman, was assisted by Jean-
ette Kleiner, Joy Rilett and
Delite Kistler. A carnation
was presented to each family touched by death during
the past year, as a' special
■ part of the service.
The following placements
of pastors was made by the
Board of Appointment and
Supervision to include Rev.
Charles Hilliard to Arthur
Center, and Eagle, Rev.
Sarvor, Colonville, the
supply pastors, Rev. Ruth
Showers, Rev. Roy Miller,
and Rev. Virgil Brinkman.
The matter of Scholarships for the Churches of
God  youth was discussed.
A special volunteer
group is sponsoring a drive
for this fund, and any person or group who wishes to
give $100 or more per year
will receive recognition at
the annual meeting, and
monthly reports from the
college. Groups must be
represented by one person. The Conference made
a hundred dollar donation,
and appointed Glen Armen-
trout  to  represent  them.
Survey  For
Stream Banks
Improvement
Some soil conservation
survey work has been done
recently in Vernon town-?
ship, reports John Foster
of the Isabella County Soil
Conservation Service.
This included a survey
for Charles Smith, on
stream bank improvement,
and James Maloney, a random type drainage.
This is a new'practice
for Isabella County in the
Agricultural Conservation
program. This work will
involve some stream
straightening, shaping and
the seeding of the stream
banks, also fencing to keep
cattle from cutting the
banks.
