Open revolt by Zumcunmin cheesemakers against OPA price ceilings stalls 2 million pounds daily, with 90 percent of Wisconsin cheddar stored in warehouses. Banks back warehoused cheese, allowing continued production while government purchases remain affected. Cheeses aged six months fetch small gains, aiding the strike's finances.

Beware of Bright Yellow Plant Now
The bright yellow flowering weed named Yellow Rocket is spreading across Green county and could wipe out 50 to 60 percent of crops within a year if not controlled. County weed commissioner Logeson notes it resembles wild mustard, emerges early, and infests meadows, creeksides, and fields. He advises mowing, hoeing, removing blooming plants, or disking and fall plowing to reduce rosettes and seed spread, with demonstrations planned to test new herbicides. A note on household cleaning product appears: a degreaser promises to clean pans and dishes with hot water.

Waterfowl Population Drops 36 Percent in Two Years
Dr Clarence Gottam of the U S Fish and Wildlife Service told the Outdoor Writers Association of America that U S duck numbers fell from about 125 million in 1944 to an estimated 80 million now a 36 percent drop. He cited growth of northern feeding grounds overshooting and disease as causes and cautioned a shorter hunting season from 80 days to 45 or 60 to curb the decline.
