PASTURAGE FOR 1 SPRING GRAZING Change From Dry to Green Should be Made in a Gradual Manner. Every owner of a cow welcomes the coming of green grass in the spring time. And it goes without saying that many of the poorly fed cows are as highly pleased. The labor and expense connected with winter feeding is done away with, and each*'cow is expected the best results of the year on grass. The above facts are so interest ing that many of us are over anxious to make the change. It is best to go somewhat slowly in changing from dry feed to grass. This is especially true with heavv milking cows. The young, im mature grass, such as we have in early spring, contains a large amount of water and a small amount of nutrients. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, for heavy-milking cows to consume enough grass'to supply the body with sufficient nutrients for both maintenance and milk produc tion. Another reason for chang ing feed gradually rather than suddenly is the effect on the taste of the milk. In changing a cowj from a' grain ration to grass entirely, a very marked taste is developed in the milk, while scarcely any change in the taste of the milk is noticed if this change in feed is made gradually. In connection with the effect on flavor it might be said that there is no uniform decrease in the fat content of the milk under such conditions. Unless the pastures produce an abundance of nutritious grasses it is necessary to continue feed ing some grain to cows producing milk. There is no question but that a cow will produce more milk if fed grain while on pas ture, and if a™large yield is of importance than economy’of pro duction, grain should certainly be fed. If the pasture is good the feeding of grain may not show immediate direct results, so far as milk production is con cerned, but cows!'are brought to better body condition and are likely to maintain their flow of milk longer during the balance of the) lactation. Some authorities claim that theytmay do better the following* lactation period if some grain'is fed. On?scant!or dried-up pastures it is necessary to supply addition al feed to cows, in order that the flow of milk may be maintained. This ’is extremely important where a shortage’of pasture feed is likely to come at a time when hot weather and flies tend to make cows uncomfortable and largely reduce their milk produc tion. Too much cannot be said in favor of good pastures, but they should be used with con sideration of both the animals grazing upon them and the life of the pastures. On account of the watery growth during early spring, stock should not be turn ed out too early. To do so might injure the pasture to such an ex tent as to lower its value ma terially and, at the same time, bring undesirable results from the animals. D. G.

C. —April 2. — A delegation including Secretary Harvie Jordan of the American Association, exSenator Hoke Smith and Representatives Over street, Lankford and Upshaw of Georgia, today presented the cotton situation to President Harding. Appreciation of the administration’s expressed de sire to aid in the solution of this and other agricultural problems, was expressed by the visitors. Secretary Jordan said that the two great cotton problems are the broadening of credits, with reduction of rates by the federal reserve banks, and the enlarge ment of foreign markets. The President was entirely sympa thetic, but the discussion with him was general rather than specific. Secretary of Commerce Hoover was present and spoke of impor tant plans he has in mind to help the cotton trade. Monday a 'number of cotton men and bankers will have a conference with the War Finance Corporation, whose policy is re garded by many as being the real key to the situation. The attitude of this government agency is already much more favorable to the cotton trade than it was’, under Secretary Houston. Divorce Notice. Kate Scott ve Will Scott.
