It notes labor market projections for women postwar, with 20 percent more workers expected, and reflects on juvenile delinquency and wartime student labor as schools reopen. It ends with a light satirical piece contrasting political ideologies using a two cows parable.

May Be Wise To Start Silage Feeding Early
Dairy advisor Arthur R. Porter recommends starting silage feeding early this fall to utilize soft corn and supplement dormant bluegrass pastures. Feeding can begin with silo filling and continue during fermentation, helping maintain herd production and prevent future spoilage while reducing field-haul waste. Porter notes silage is low in protein and should be balanced with soybean meal or other protein feeds.
