FERTILIZED PASTURES PRODUCE BETTER FEED Fertilized pastures not only give increased amou nts of grazing but also pro duce more nutritious grass report Doctors J. 0. Hal verson and F. W. Sher, wood, animal nutrition ex perts with the N. C. Ex periment Station at State College. Their findings show that the grass from the fertiliz ed pastures contained about one-third more protein and about one-half more phos phorus, thus greatly im proving the quality of the grazing. “By using limestone and phosphates on pasture and meadow land on Mountain soil, nature will put increa sed calcium and phosphor us in the grasses and thus reduce the need for miner-' AMERICAN HEROES' , BY LEFF ll coil her six week* in the hospital, but plurky Pvt.

After a period of three years and following a sev ere drought, they found that a ton of limestone perj acre and 600 pounds of 16 ! per cent superphosphate in creased the dry matter in the feeds by about four fifths and more than doub led. the amount of protein. Likewise, the calcium yield was almost doubled and the phosphorus yield consider ably more than doubled. “The application of both , lime and phosphate on pas ture sod supplied about one-half ton of extra green grass over the grazing sea son. These increased yields are significant in the oper ation of the farm. More livestock, can be carried per acre on fertilized pasture and meadow land,” the nu tritionists point out. PrisonersOf CARDS FROM WAR PRISONERS ACKNOW LEDGE RED CROSS CHRISTMAS PACKAGES Washington, D. C. Feb.— Batches of cards of acknow ledgement and thanks for the special Christmas food package, sent to American prisoners of war in Eurbpe by the American Red Cross for Christmas 1943, are be ginning to be received at Red Cross National Head quarters here, it was an nounced today. Ten thousand of these §pjfcial holiday food pack ages were packed in the Now York packaging cen ter by volunteer workers of area Red Cross Chapters during the hot days of last summer in order that they might be shipped abroad in time for distribution at Christmas. Each special carton was decorated with the tradi tional green and red colors.

The latter items were supplied by the Junior Red Cro gg. That the packages did reach the various camps in time to add a little cheer. ;to the holiday season is borne out by the receipt of the cards now coming in from various camps in Ger many. A letter has also just been received from Colonel Delmar T. Spivey, Senior American Officer at Stalag Lust, 111, the prin-i ciple camp for American and British flying officers in Germany.
