Research Produces New Kind
Oi Grass And Legume Silage
Mooeeheart, 111. ? A new
ir jthod of treating grass and
liguroe silage la being ottered to
help solve many soil and fi ? *
problems.
More livestock fed at less cost,
increased butterfat production for
dairy cattle, and heavier weight
!;>int for beef cattle are claimed
or the method after lengthy tests
in actual herd use.
Fred Fech, chief chemist for!
A ready Farm* Milling Co., a pro
ducer of livestock feeds, led the.
company's laboratory research toj
produce the new type of silage.
"Farm exerts have worried
(or decades about soil erosion and
depletion," Rech said.. "Now
, farmers are faced with severe,
ood crop surpluses. And many agreef
there is not enough meat being
produced for the growing United
States population. These are
major farm problems today.
Could fare So\l
"On the other hand, many farm
people realize more production at
grass and legumes, such as al
falfa, clover and cowpeas, would
save soil. It also could cut down
surplus crop acreages and permit
increased production of livestock.
"But the question has been

Most important Paint Advancement in 25 years
New Fume-Proof, Sun-Proof House Paint
produces a film of unusual whiteness.
It will not discolor or darken from coal smoke or industrial gases.
It's Mlf-c leaning, too ? removes surface dirt.
Years of extensive exposure tests under many types of climate I
conditions, from strong sunlight and fait air to heavy industrial ,
fume areas, have proved the superiority of this new formula over |
ordinary house paint. ^

what to do with the pw and
legumes after they are produced."
Durinf warm months, the che
mist ? said, livestock can ? forage
an the fields and pasture*, but
not during the winter In north
ern states.
Making dry hay "from these
crops, he added, has resulted in
losses in Vitamin A reaching as
high as <0 to 70 person t, a poor
investment (or dairy herds where
the vitamin content of butter and
milk is of prime importance.

"It has been proved molasses is
perhaps the best preservative fqr
grass and legume silage," Rech
said, "but in Its liquid form it is
inconvenient to use and has re
auired supplemental proteins in
le total cattle diet.
"That is why we wanted to
find some way of making a mix
which could, be used dry with
grass and legumes, and would
carry both vitamins and proteins
in the silage to the livestock."
The new dry mix contains 49
per cent pure cane molasses and
9 per cent balanced protein. It
is added as the silage is made.
Vitamin A loss in this method
amounts to about 10 to 30 per
cent, Rech estimated.
Testing of the silage took place
at the 950-acre farm of Moose
heart, 111., the children's home
owned and operated by the Loyal
Order of Moose.
Milk dutpul Increased
Merle Howard, the farm'* dairy
superintendent, said its herd of
150 dairy cattle increased its milk
production an average of one
naif to one pound of milk a day
using the new silage.
The herd of 75 beef cattle av
eraged weight gains of 2.15
pounds a day on grass silage. On
corn silage the gain averaged T18
pounds daily. The grass silage
cost 19 per cent less than the
com kind, Howard declared.
The grass silage with mix re
sulted m about two and a half
times as much digestible protein
feed an acre as corn silage, he
added. An acre of ensiled corn
produced 192 pounds of digestible
protein, while an acre of alfalfa
silage in three crops gave 477
pounds. Savings amounted to
about a bag of grain a head of
cattle each year <, it was noted.
Would Cut Grain Us*
"With some 26,000,000 dairy
cattle in the country," Howard
said, "the national savings would
cut grain consumption so the ex
cess corn land could go into
grass. This would oonserve soil
and at the same tin\e increase
beef and dairy production."
He cited estimates that meat
and dairy products- could be in
creased by more than 9 per cent I
if excess acres now producing
corn, wheat ?'and cotton could be
turned into pasture and into grass
and legume silage. This also
would reduce government sup
port of farm surpluses in corn,
wheat and cotton, Howard added.
"Easy Does It"
When baking pies and cakes at
the same time, scatter them so
oven heat will circulate freely,
thus speeding baking time Slid
reducing the amount of heat
necessary.
When cooking on top of the
stove, use pans made with
straight sides as they utilize heat
more efficiently than those with
rounded or bulging sides.
Dull-finish baking pans and
caseroles are more efficient to
use in the oven than the shiny
ones. Pojished surfaces, as found
on shiny pans, reflect heat, thus
wasting it.
When you are baking, avoid
peeking into the oven "to see
how things are coming along."
Everytime you open the door,
youH let heat escape.

Cast iron burners are best
cleaned with soap, water and' an
abrasive. "Be certain they are
thoroughly rinsed and dried so
they will not rust.
Ranges with porcelain enamel

Dried Foods Ar?
Offered Free by U. S.
Government-held stocks of two
more commodities ? dried eggs
and non-fat dry milk solids ? are
new available free to North Car
olina school lunchrooms, welfare
agencies and elleemoaynary in
stitutions thAt will pay transpor
tation charges from the point of
storage, it has been announced.
In announcing the offer. G. T.
Scott, chairman of the State Pro
duction and Marketing Admini
stration committee, said the dried
eggs and dry milk, now held by
the Commodity Credit Corpora
tion, were bought by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture as a
price supporting measure. Pre
sent available stocks include
about 73 million pounds of dried
eggs and 169 million pounds of
non-fat dry milk. Considerable
quantities of the dry milk, he
said, are stored in nearby states.
Local welfare agencies, ! Scott
said, should direct requests for
these commodities to their own
state welfare agency. Actual dis
tribution will be handled by Jay
P. Davis of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture.
STRIKES
Strikes, involving 280,000 work
ers, cost the country 2,600,000
man-days of production in Jan
uary, a sharp increase over De
cember, according to the Depart
ment of Labor. The Chrysler
strike -and sporadic stoppages in
the soit-coal fields accounted for
two-thirds of the workers in
volved in the 225 shutdowns.

of coal so they could unload it.
The fire ignited the coal and the
workers threw water on the

Simple Rules Prevent
All Wasteful Fift$
1. Crush out cigarettes and put
out matches before discarding
them.
2. Secure a burning permits be
fore setting fire to any material
within 500 feet of woodlands and
be guided by the instructions on
the back ol the permit.
3. Do your burning in the late
afternoon and when the wind is
not blowing ? preferably just aft
er a general rain.
4. When building a camp fire
or warming fire remove all com
bustible material down to the
mineral soil for a five-foot rad
ius of the fire area and be sure
the fire is "dead out" before
leaving it.
5. Do not "smoke" game ani
mal* out of hollow trees. This
destroys their home and often
sets fire to the woods.
6. Do not allow your children
to play with matches and fire
Numberous fires are started!
every season by this cause.
