Alfalfa is adapted to most of the United States and will prodmce
well both in extended dry spells, or periods of ample moisture.
Since heat and drought, espe-
cially in the southeastern and
southcentral States, have been
classified as national emergen-
cies, It behooves the farmer to
plan his crops and rotations
ahead in such a way as to care
for droughts, as best he can,
when they come.
Obviously his cropping system
should not be entirely geared to
drought emergencies, for periods
of heavy rainfall also need to be
considered. He can, however,
learn lessons from recent
droughts and try to plant a large
percentage of his acreage to
those crops and plan his rotations
to meet the Various conditions
that may arise.
Fromi much weather history it
appears likely that the farmers
of certain States will face vary-
ing periods of moisture shortages
every year. Research and obser-
vations have made it possible to
offer certain suggestions that if
followed should be helpful in les-
sening the effects of prolonged
dry-weather conditions.
Sudangrass has been a most de-
pendable grazing crop in severe
summer droughts. Lespedeza se-
ricea where adapted has given
fair grazing continuously from
June until October. Small grain-
wheat, oats and especially grain
sorghums usually have outyielded
corn under dry conditions. Such
results emphasize the importance
of having crops in addition to
corn to help provide for grain
needs if com yields suffer. Deep-
rooted crops — alfalfa and lespe-
deza sericea where adapted —
have been of great value in sup-
plying feed for livestock during
dry spells. Crimson clover-rye-
grass planted at the right time
on well-prepared land is a good
combination for winter-grazing.
Dallisgrass and Bermudagrass
have been found to be two of the
best grasses for use in perma-
nent pastures. They have sur-
vived on fertile soils during pe-
riods of very serious droughts.
Clovers that normally serve as
perennials have been destroyed
by prolonged dry periods, but
stands were quickly re-estab-
lished from natural reseeding.
Johnsongrass also is relied upon
heavily for emergency grazing
and hay production.
Stocking of pastures at the an-
ticipated low production of graz-
ing and then harvesting the sur-
plus growth in peak periods as
hay for use in such emergencies
as drought are suggested.
Seasonal temporary grazing
can be provided under most con-
ditions. Time of planting is ex-
tremely important for success
with most of these crops.

and Mrs. Wayne Munn and daugh-

But Not Speeding
■Minneapolis — (UP) — A car
parked alongside a parking meter
in Minneapolis had a sign in the
window reading, "This car obeys
speed laws. Do you?” The red flag
of the meter was up—a traffic vio-
lation.
United Press Staff Correapendent
ROME, Italy. (UP).—Only a few
of the thousands of visitors to Vati-
can City know of the little old shoe-
maker shop on the Borgo Pio Pet-
er’s Square But about the shop
and its owner, 30-year-old, dark,
tousle-haired, Domenico Canglulli,
there is a special distinction.
For Domenico Canguilli is no or-
dinary cobbler ,and the shoes he
fashions are of a speicaJ kind.
This short and stocky ex-sailer
from Taranto will tell you the
story of how he started in business,
if you have the time to listen. How
when he was an apprentice, the
founder of the shop, old Giuseppe
Cottafcglia, called him to his sick-
bed and said:
"Dcm'.nico, my son, the, inherit-
ance I leave you is burdensome.
But you have clever hands and a
quick skill. If you conduct your-
self with seriousness and wisdom
and put to good use my instruc-
tions you may dc even better than '
I have, done for a long time — to
make the precious shoes for the
Santo Padre”
Yes, Domenico Cangiulli, togeth-
er with his beautiful wife, Rosa,
makes the “precious shoes” for
Pope Pius XII. They are a special
kind of shoe fashioned from the
leather of cloth or multicolored J
velvets. 1
With the shop, old Guiseppe left
the ‘forms’ made to the measure-
ments of the Pope’s feet besides
many other ‘forms’ of the digni-
taries, the monsignors, and the
bishops of the Vatican.
“It takes nearly three days to
make these kinds cf shoes.” says
Domenico. "You have to be very
patient and my clients are excep-
tional."
To fashion a pair of shoes for
the Pope, Domenico works on the
soles and the cloth or velvet cuts
to fit the special shoe-forms while
R:sa meticulously embroiders the
goidren cross on their Instep and
the delicate golden olive leaves
around the borders.
Together they have made two
pairs tor the Pope. The; first pair
was of. red velvet and the other was
of fine white leather.
Domenico has made many shoes
for olienta not in the Vatican, but
he hitmds to close the shop on
Borgo Pio soon and open elsewhere
In Roma to “work until the end
only fur the Vatican fur the mon-
signors and the Santo Padre."
Domenico has never seen the
Pope. It is his ambition to be al-
lowed to kiss the hand of the Pope
and hear from the Pope’s own lips
some words of praise for the shoes
he, has made. Many people in the
Vatican have praised his work —
Domenico said, "and have told me
the Santo Padre was pleased, but
it Is not the same thing.”
