Marine Cor|>s Calls For More Recruits The Savannah recruiting office of the U. S Marine Corps is making preparations to enlist a considerable number of young men iqto their ser vice during the coming summer months. According to information receiv ed from Captain A C. Small. U S M. C., there is a growing demand for men of specialized qualifications in-j the marine corps Radio, aviation, and motorized units require men of I trained technical skill, and thej marine corps is welling and prepar ed to train men for these branches of service if they possess aptitude and ambition Men with a high school education arc generally chos en for this special training The corps also maintains a correspond ence school at Washington, which affords enlisted men free self-study courses in a large number of voca tional and academic subjects Young men in this vicinity desir ing information regarding enlist ment in the marines should write Captain Small at the Savannah.

RATION LETS COW GET MORE OUT OF FEED FOR MAKING MILK Anyone knowing feedstuflfs will read ily agree that alfalfa hay is a much better feed for dairy cattle than corn cobs. Yet on a total digestible nutrient <T. D. N.) basis, the long recognized standard for Judging feed values, there appears to be little difference In 100 lbs. of alfalfa hay there are 50 lbs. of digestible nutrients, while 100 lbs. of corn cobs contain 46.2 lbs. of digest ible nutrients. According to T. D N. measurement, then, the dlfTamu-e between alfalfa hay and corn ocbs is less than 4 lbs. to the hundred, even though the pro ducing ability of the one is known to be far greater than the other This simple comparison is one of many that caused scientists to decide thai the existing T D N. basis for Judging the produc tive capacity of feeds and roughages needed to be revised and replaced by more accurate methods, according to Meade Summers, head of the dairy de partment of Purina Mills. Many men In the dairy business today can remember when the first so-called balanced rations were intro duced." says Bummers. "College pro fessors, feed manufacturers and dairy men began talking about proteins and carbohydrates and how they should be balanced . . . and well-bred, well practically equal in total digestible nutrients. 80 much energy 1s burned up by the cow In digesting the corn cobs that only 13.2 therms of net pro ductive energy remain out of the 46.2 lbs. of digestible material in 100 lbs. of cob. On the other hand, the alfalfa hay is so much more easily digested that far less energy is used up In the process of digestion and assimilations, leaving 38 therms of net energy from 50 lbs of digestible material in 100 lbs. eaten That means that alfalfa hay has practically three times the feeding value of corn cob's. ? Recently Professor G. 8. Prapps of the University of Texas, one of the outstanding dairymen of the nation, came to the front with a statement cor roborating these tests," says Summers. "Prapps said that all dairy feeds were being figured on the wrong basis and that productive energy values should replace the use of total digestible nu trients as it had done in Europe many years ago. "Of course, it is still very important to have a properly balanced ration. And it is also important that the ra tion be high in total digestible nu trients. However, it is most important of all to go one step farther and see that today's ration is rich in therms of net energy, for producing milk after the cow has digested the feed. ?,oo Total Dtg?stibl? Nutri?nts Wlb? H?t Energy 5fl Therm* fed cows began to step up production to almost unbelievable amounts com pared to what they had been producing. Digestibility Is Big Factor "Later, scientists working in labora tories discovered that proteins and car bohydrates were not the whole story -that a feed must have digestibility as well It was found that the more feed a cow could digest and make use of, the more milk she would produce. The discovery of digestible nutrients was a big step forward in the dairy industry," Summers says. "But in laboratories and on experi mental farms there were research workers who were not entirely satis fied with the progress made. They felt that total digestible nutrients did not tell the whole story. They were the hunger fighters of the dairy industry who realized that dairy breeding was still far ahead of dairy feeding?that the American cow was capable of pro ducing a lot more milk if they could find the feed that would bring it out of her". "Among them were two dairy scien tists at Pennsylvania State College, who received notice for their work with a machine that showed exactly what happened to each pound of feed when J it passed through a cow. They put a living animal inside the machine and made their tests. They discovered, as many scientists and advanced dairy men had believed they would, that total digestible nutrients was not the final measure of a feed. This machine mea sured the energy used in digesting feed. They found more energy was used in digesting some feeds than others. Net Energy Values "Their findings explain why alfalfa hay is a better dairy feed than corn cobs, even though the two products are Totol Digestible Nutrients 44.0? Net Energy IJ^Therme "About 2 years ago Purina Mills be gan a series of feeding tests at the Purina Experimental Farm to deter mine the effectiveness of this net en ergy basis for building a dairy feed. The climax of this experimental work was reached in a test with 60 grade cows, divided in 2 herds of 30 head each. Checked and Double Checked ' One herd was fed the regular Purina dairy ration on the market at the time, high in total digestible nutrients." says Summers. "The other herd was fed a ration both high in total digest ible nutrients and rich in therms of net energy. The result was startling. Both herds did well, but the cows on the therm-rich feed averaged 40 pounds of milk daily while the cows receiving the regular Purina ration gave 35 pounds of milk. Tests were repeated for a second full lactation period, with verifying results. "For final and conclusive proof, the herds were reversed and the cows that had been given the regular Purina dairy ration were fed on the new therm-rich feed while the herd that had been receiving the therm-rich ration were given the Purina ration. The 30 cows fed on the therm-rich ration con firmed the results from the first herd. By this time our men in the Dairy De partment were calling these net energy units 'milk-making therms.' "Those 60 cows gave us the informa tion needed to make our present im proved dairy rations. Today our cus tomers have a milk-making ration that not only has its carbohydrates and pro teins balanced, not only is rich in min erals. not only is high in total digestible nutrients, but also is rich in milk making therms. The result to our customers is extra dollars oTprofit." i.onslrnction In S?>ntli Increases Although only a year of so ago the South was cited as America's eco nomic problem No. 1, a glance at re tent construction contracts indicates the skies may soon be clearing over Kirfg Cotton's domain From Clarks ville, Tenn . last week came word of a new rubber factory to be built there by the H F Goodrich Com pany. Johns-Manvillc has just com pleted a new plant in Virginia to produce fiber board In South Car olina the American Cyanamid Com pany has a plant underway for wa ter purification chemicals. The trend is unmistakable Annual output of southern manufactured articles' to day is $10,500,000,000, more than 2 and one-half times the value of the south s agricultural crop Reasons given for the rubber concern's move j indicate why the south's industrial development is forging ahead so | rapidly In Tennessee,..its exhaustive engineering surveys established, the ! company will be nearer to certain ; markets, and to an important raw 1 material?cotton?of which it uses many thousands of bales a year Abundant, cheap water power is, available in the TV A area Labor is plentiful Rail and water transportation facilities are excel lent. Similar assets, including many other raw materials, attract other industries Decree If ork Planned At Lwlge Meeting Tonight 1 I Special work in the first degree; will be a feature of the regular com munication of the Skewarkey lodge membership here this evening at 8 o'clock, K. D. Worrell, of the lodge, announced this morning Mr. P. C. Scott, special Masonic lecturer who is located here this week, will be in attendance upon the meeting this evening and he is expected to participate in the pro Farmers Lose Money Grazing Woodlands # ?Kmmi'is wlie* gia/c rattle in wood* lands lost4 money both in milk or beef and in timber and erosion con trol, declares R W Graeber, fores try specialist of the State College Extension Service. He cites experiments which have shown that managed woodlands yield an annual return of about $4 per acre .and that the best open pas tures yield about the same amount. However, when grazing and forestry gre Combined on the same area, the yields arc much less, the total an nual return for typical woodland pasture being only $1 per acre. Why do farmers run their cattle in the woods?" Graeber asks He answers: "There is only one logical reason They think they can pick up an extra dollar or two by letting the cattle pick a few buds and twigs in early spring, along with the low growing plants and a few sprigs of grass or briars which may grow where a few rays of sunlight reach the ground. This is a fallacy A farmer does not pick up an extra dollar or two; the cows do not produce as much milk or as much beef as when they graze in open pasture; the timber supply is reduced; grazing wood lands induces erosion and loss of leaf litter; the fencing bill is high er." The 1935 farm census showed that North Carolina had 1,574,303 acre of farm woods in use as pasture Of this, 1,186, 788 acres, or slightly more than 75 per cent of the woodland pasture is in the 59 Piedmont and mountain counties This is the prin cipal area in which Graeber recom mends that all woods grazing be eliminated. Mr. and Mrs. J Sam Getsinger and son, Conrad, are in Raleigh today. Was Here Last Week-end Mr. E. P. Cunningham was home from Smith field for the week-end. Interesting Bits Of Agricultural Wetvs Uniformity Uniform standards for fruit and vegetable packages lower marketing costs and protect consumers against short-weight measures, says L. P. Watson, extension horticulturist at State College Drop North Carolina's cash farm in come for the first three months of this year, totaling $16,188,000, in cluding government * payments, dropped sharply under the corre sponding period in 1938 when grow er.. rneived $23,170,000. Promising During the past five years results at the Kentucky experiment station showed that clipping the silks and end of the corn husk beyond the cob, just after pollination, was promising method for the control of cutworm. Decline A slight decline in farm real estate values during the 12 months ending March 1 has been reported by the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics. Second Dayton. Ohio, has been selected as the second city in which the food order stamp plan for distributing surpluses through normal channels of trade will be followed Contracts The Triple-A lias announced the awarding of contracts for 215,192 square miles of aerial photography in 16 North Central and Western States, at a cost of $476,362.79 AAA The Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration reports that expendi tures, including benefit payments_to farmers, totaled $354,765,575 during the first eight months of the pres ent fiscal year. Up Daily average sales of general merchandise in small towns and ru ral areas for March were about 17 per cent above March, 1938, and 15 per cent above February of this year. Progress By using registered stock and fol lowing a definite breeding program, the average production per cow of the dairy herd at the Pennsylvania State College has been increased b> almost 6,000 pounds since the herd was started in 1890. Increase The U S Department of Agricul ture estimates that American farm ers received in March a cash income including benefit payments, of $528, 000,000, an increase of 13 per cent over February's estimated $486,000, 000. "Immigrants" The possibility that one day Am erican cities will be forced to bar jobless "immigrants" coming from the nation's farms has been suggest ed by O. E. Baker, U. S. Department of Agriculture economist. "The purpose of this change is to simplify the agricultural conserva tion program and to make it equi table to all farmers, which the AAA is constantly striving to do," Floyd stated. Pleased liarnett County growers appear tc be pleased with their checks for participation in the 1938 agricultur al conservation program, reports C. K Amnions, farm agent. Cotton This year, Northampton County cottbn farmers will plant a large percentage of their acreage to Cok ei iuu because of good resulis se cured from this variety in all sec tions of the county last year Increasing The number of Buncombe Coun ty farmers participating in the Agri cultural Conservation program has jumped from 540 in 1936 to 3,400 in 1939, reports C. Y. Tiison. farm agent. Record Cherry, an 8-year-old shorthorn cow, owned in England, recently set a new world's record for a year's milk production. She produced 41, 644 1-2 pounds, or an average of 57 quarts a day.

And once again proving the validity of the old ax iom, "It's an ill wind, etc," recurrent war crises in Europe will divert thousands of summer seafarers to this spot and the Caribbean See re gion In anticipation, four steamship lines have announced that regular winter-season cruise service to Mia mi will be extended into the months without "R's". New Slogan Selected By N. C. Building And Loan The slogan, "Save to Build?Build to Save"?which was selected as the winning slogan in the recent contest conducted by the building, savings and loan associations of the State, has been unanimously adopted as the official slogan of the North Carolina Building and Loan League it was announced today by Martin F. Gaudian, executive secretary of that organization. This particular slogan was select ed because it brings out the funda mental purposes of building and loan associations to encourage peo ple to save in these institutions so they can build homes and thereby build the communities of Nortfi Carolina These institutions also ad vocate building homes, thereby saving considerable money because many a home can be built from the amounts ordinarily paid out in rent. The above slogan was submitted by six individuals from different parts of the State, all of whom shared in the distribution of the awards in the Keesler Memorial contest.
