MORE MILK BY ROTATING PASTURES Any farmer that raises only a few cattle should rotate the cattle on his pasture for the maximum return per acre. Tests that have been made show that you can re ceive up to 25 more grazing on the same land just by rotating your cattle from one section of the land to another. By rotating cattle from one field to another the small luscious grasses and clovers have time to make a good growth, and cattle will give more milk and put on more growth if they have an ade quate supply of tender plants. Pastures can be cut up into small sections with a small amount of labor and expense. In most cases one strand of barb wire charged with electricity will serve the purpose for dividing a field into smaller sections. It is usual ly necessary to have the fence charged for a few days only, to teach the cattle to keep their dis tance from it. After they have learned to stay clear of the fence the electricity may be cut off completely. SOIL WEEK, STEWARDSHIP TO BE OBSERVED Importance Of Soil To Be Stressed; Churches Cooperate ij --Mgaavf,.,.ffli.vy.v.-i.a--'vt' ..4 Memorial Day Awards Given At Hot Springs High School Graduation Exercises C 1 It A 1 . oocreiary oi .agriculture lzra Taft Benson today made the fol lowing statement in behalf of Soil Stewardship Week and Rural Life Sunday, both of which occur this month: The Department of Agriculture is happy to join with the Na tional Association of Soil Conser vation Districts and national ohurch organizations in the ob servance of National Soil Stew ardship Week which they are sponsoring May 26 to June 2. During this week, or on Rura Life Sunday, May 26, local church es of various faiths and soil con servation districts throughout the nation will join in special recogni tion of man's responsibility as a steward of our God-given heri tage the productive soil. Such observance is espocially heartening to us in the Depart ment of Agriculture who are charged with helping farmers use soil wisely and at the same time conserve it for continued produc tion for the generations to come. Our future food supply depends on the intelligence with which we use our productive resources such as soil and water. Not only food but many raw materials for industry come from the soil. While solving today's problems, we must not neglect tomorrow's needs. C strongly urge farm, church, civic, conservation and other organizations to participate in this event as an important means of becoming better acquainted with the vital importance of wise use of our land to both our material and spiritual welfare. I am urg ing employees of the Department to participate in soil stewardship observances as citizens in their communities or to help organized groups, when requested, in plan ning or conducting such events. n' In mm i. immmmimmmmmmmmmmmtmmmiit immii i ih$w3imfo.$fc-, The following awards were presented at the Hot Springs High School graduation exercises on Wednesday, May 22, 1957.
