The amount of gain a beef animal will produce or the am. ount of milk a cow will pro. duce from forage is determined by the amount of protein and digestible matter contained in the forage plant. An animal can eat just so much feed. If the forage is old and tough the animal cannot consume en. ough to make desirable pro duction. On hay cut from grass three or four weeks old a steer test shows a gain of better than 2 pounds per day. When the grass was 8 to 12 weeks old the gain was zero to Vz POUND PER DAY. For optimum production and utilization, yourbermuda grass should be either grazed or cut for hay by the time an accum ulated growth Is five weeks old. Fescue should be grazed con tinuously at 2 to three Inches high and cut for hay In the boot stage of growth ( just before the seeds open out of the leaf roll). Several products are being promoted as hay curing chem icals. These products are or ganic acids that Inhibit mold growth. They do not lower the moisture content. They do keep mold from develop ing in hay that has a mois ture content of approximately 16 to 25 percent When these products are uniformly appl ied to hay that does not con tain more than 25 percent mo- Isture, the decaying molds are kept from developing until the moisture is reduced to stor age level ( 12-15 percent). As the grass gets older the yield goes up but the leaf per centage drops as does the qual ity. HAY MAKING Utilizing forage crops at th< duclng the most beef or milk per acre, is a major factor in increasing income from cat tle. The following information is based on research conduct ed onbermudagrass. The same kind of results would occur with Fescue and similar perennial grasses. The very first growth pro duced by these grasses is the most highly digestible forage produced during the growing season. Digestibility declin es consistently until August or early September. The dry matter digestibility percent in May is around 65 percent, by July this has drop. Irnrr ht.xioft.

The grass was about 30 days old at each of the above cut. tings. Both protein and digestibili ty are influenced by the age of the grass. Young tender forage is high quality. Ber. muda grass forage decreases in quality rapidly after it rea ches 4 to 5 weeks of age. No grass should be more than 5 or 6 weeks old for best hay. Plant leaves provide most of the high quality forage. SU ems are low in protein and digestible matter.

THE NEW FASHION MIX The recent trend in fashion Circles - combining formerly clashing designs - leaves Bran tley County women baffled. 1 After years of combining sol ids with color • coordinated prints, the fashion pendulum has swung in the opposite dir ection. Plaids, Stripes, Geo metries, Flowers and animal prints are now used commonly In the game of mix and match. If you venture to join the new game, follow these rules on color, fabric and garment design. COLOR - The safest way to make an acceptable com bination is to stick to designs with same colors and color proportions. A second choice is to use the same design in two colors; for instance, white sailboats on a red background with white sailboats on a blue background. DESIGN IN FABRIC - Com binations should have some sense of harmony. Try these matches; Large designs with some portion of the larger design repeated in an all-over design; same design, positive and negative; a stripe and a print; gingham and flowers; dots and animals; checks and animals; checks and plaids; two or more geometries; similar designs in large and small print and small over-all print with border design. GARMENT DESIGN - The tradition skirt and blouss or pants and top is the easy way out. Fashion experts encour- age these combination ideas: skirt, collar and sleeve cuffs of one design with bodice of second design; skirt and stole of first design with bodice and ruffle on stoleof second design; print or plaid shirt dress with shrink sweater of another de* sign; sleeves of second design; three piece outfit — each piece of a different design; scarf or tie coordinated with design in garment fabric;yokes, smocks, aprons and pockets of a coor dinated design. With these basic guidelines, you’re ready to “ do your own thing.” Fashion magazi nes, pattern catalogues, and re ady-towear displays are good sources of ideas. Look at the combinations professionals ha. ve made. Analyze them accord ing to the guidelines above. YOUR President OK’s Hike In Disabled Vets’ Compensation Atlanta — A bill increasing disability compensation has just been signed into law by the President. The new meas ure is Public Law 92-328. Georgia Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler said that more than 2 million dis abled veterans will benefit by the increase in compensation rates which, generally, will amount to about 10 percent. The increase also would apply to additional benefits for de pendents. The effective date for the compensation increase is August 1,1972. Also becoming effective on that date will be a clothing allowance for veterans who wear prosthetic devices or who must use wheel chairs. The allowance, $l5O annually, is to help pay for.clothing which is subject to excessive wear by the use of such de vices. The new law also provides that compensation or retire ment pay will no longer be withheld from veterans who are hospitalized at government expense 6 months or more. There will be no change in reduction for pension cases. The rules for payment to hospitalized incompetents will remain unchanged. Widows of Spanish-Ameri can veterans, if otherwise qualified, may elect to receive pension under provisions of the law applicable to widows of later war veterans. As of June 30,1972, equi table relief will be provided to persons who, because of an administrative error, has suf fered a loss as a consequence of reliance upon an admini strative determination. Under the new law, author ity to waive recovery of over payments of any benefits un der laws administered by the VA will be simplified. The new law also provides for a review of all cases in which gratuitous veteran benefit pay ments have been forfeited due to false or fraudulent affida vits, certifications, or the like prior to September 1, 1959. Another provision of Public Law 92-328 is the equaliza tion of rates of compensation for wartime and peacetime service-incurred disabilities, but this provision does not become effective until July 1, 1973. Georgia Tobacco Markets Open July 25 Emmett Reynolds, President of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation said in Macon Mon day that the 1972 tobacco crop in Georgia is expected to be of the best quality in years with prices advanced over the pre vious year. The prediction of outstanding quality was supported by other members of the Georgia To bacco Advisory Board which met at the Georgia Farm Bur eau Federation office todevelop a recommended opening date for Georgia’s 1972 marketing season. " The 1972 crop is expec ted to be of good smoking quality”, Reynolds said. Georgia’s Tobacco Advisory Board, following extensive sur vey by individual members and the Georgia Farm Bureau Fed eration, voted unanimously to recommend July 25 as the op- Georgia Firms Share With Baptist Village Thirteen Georgia business, men and their firm shave "Sha red their blessings ” with Bap tist Village, homes for retired people, through a gift being seen by thousands of Georgians throughout the state.

OUTDOOR BARBECUE To assure meal deadlines and proper cooking when bar becuing outdoors, you should light the fire 30 to 45 minutes ahead of time, so coals will be the right temperature. When coals are covered with fine gray ash, spread them about one inch apart. No two coals should touch. We Congratulate FFA Members And Their Work For America's Future. The Tullie Smith House, now restored and open to visitors on the grounds of the Atlanta Historical Society, is one of Atlanta’s few surviving pre-Civil War houses. (PRN) TOUR GEORGIA ATLANTA (PRN) - It is said that Mrs. Robert Smith watched Atlanta burn from the windows of her two- story farmhouse. Now that same house, a unique document of the history and lifestyle of early Georgia, is open to visitors on the grounds of the Atlanta Historical Society. Built in the 1840’s, the Tullie Smith House is one of the last surviving pre-Civil War houses in and around the Atlanta area and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. In the 1830 s Robert Smith and his family settled on the original land site within the present boundaries of DeKalb County. The last descendant of the Smith family to live in the house was Miss Tullie Smith, who died in 1967. In 1969 the antebellum structure, along with its detached kitchen, was donated to the Atlanta Historical Society and moved to its northwest location at 3099 Andrews Drive. It has since been painstakingly restored and refurnished to retain its 1840 look. Weatherboarded, with a simple, unadorned interior, the house is an example of the “plantation plain style” once prevalent in the Piedmont. It typifies a residence of the southern yeoman farmer. Many of its 19th century furnishings were made in Georgia, and several pieces are finished in “buttermilk paint” a combination of buttermilk and red clay adapted by resourceful early settlers. Also open to visitors in the magnificent Swan House, home of the Atlanta Historical Society. The Swan House boasts expansive formal gardens, fine antiques, and historical records of Atlanta. The Tullie Smith House is open Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. — 3:30 p.m.; Sunday, 1:30 p.m. — 3:30 p.m. It is closed Saturdays and holidays, and during July. The August reopening will be highlighted by quilting demonstrations to be given each Wednesday. Group tours may be scheduled in advance by calling (404) 262-1067. Admission is 50c for adults, 25c for children. For further information on the Tullie Smith House restoration, write: Department of Industry and Trade, Tourist Division, P.O.
