Grasslands, pastures and meadows respond well to fertil¬ izer and should be kept produc¬ ing at maximum capacity, Mr. Adams pointed out. They furn¬ ish the roughage which is the foundation of the most econom¬ ical ration for dairy cows. Fer¬ tilization. reseeding and con¬ trolled grazing are some of the practices that will help in im¬ proving the efficiency of pas- tureage. and “Pasture management the care of grassland has not received enough attention in Dade county,” the county agent said. “More attention must be given to pasture management since it is one of the most im¬ portant phases of any livestock enterprise, especially a profita¬ ble farm dairy enterprise.” Information on improving pastures and grassland may be secured from Mr. Adams’ office or by writing to the Extension Service in Athens. Extension Service Bulletin 457, Pastures for Georgia, gives information on all phases of pasture man¬ agement. Other information on pastures for milk cattle is given in leaflets on the 1946 Eight Point Dairy Program.

Hogs Need Salt In Diet Farm Agent Advises Most people recognize the need of salt in the diet of dairy cat¬ tle, beef cattle, sheep, horses and mules, and other farm live¬ stock, but few people give much thought to salt requirements of hogs, L. C. Adams, Dade county agricultural agent declared this week. “Salt is an important mineral in the diet of hogs,” Mr. Adams pointed out. “Tests conducted recently to determine the value of salt in feeding hogs disclosed some startling results.” In tests at Purdue University groups of hogs were self-fed shelled yellow corn, a protein supplement and a mineral mix¬ ture. The rations available to the groups were identical with the exception of salt. One lot of hogs was deprived of salt while the other lots were supplied an adequate amount of salt. The “no salt” hogs made an average gain of 84 pounds dur¬ ing the 85-day feeding period at a cost of $12.53 per hundred pounds. Average gain of the lots receiving salt was 162 pounds per hundred pounds with a cost of $8.73 per hundred pounds gain. Each pound of salt was worth $6.37 in feed saved. “Under practical farm condi¬ tions, the safest method is to supply the salt in a mineral mixture, which should be kept before the hogs at all times,” he explained. A recommended mixture is one part salt to four parts minerals. On a hundred pound basis, this would be 20 pounds of salt to 40 pounds of ground limestone and 40 pounds of steamed bonemeal. “Salt requirements for hogs are not large, but they are con¬ stant,” Mr. Adams declared. “An over supply of salt in the hog’s system at one time will often cause salt poisoning. The hogs will not eat too much salt if it is kept before them at all times, so they will not develop a crav¬ ing for salt.” Smart Girl Sews For More Bonds Smart, thrifty girls, anxious to b, well like this dressed, and make save dollars ‘ a for fresse. \ ic tory Bonds.

AMERICAN RED CROSS Well aware of the achievement record of the American Red Cross, to give a listing of its ac¬ tivities in war and peace, tell a story of its devotion to human¬ ity of all races, creeds, colors, is but to repeat a universally accepted procedure of gallant service. The ARC has carried a heavy load during war to build and to sustain. Their accomp¬ lishments have been extolled by practically every soldier. And so in peace, when disaster brings trouble, the Red Cross brings relief. There is scarcely a section in this vast land where its help has not given courage. It is an honor to be a member of such an organization and ev¬ ery American should be enrolled. NUMBER 10. Farmers To Lose Insurance Protection According to reports received from the office of the Dade County ACA, there are several cotton farmers in the county who have not yet signed an ap¬ plication for Cotton Crop In¬ surance. It should be Remembered by all such persons that the oppor¬ tunity to sign this application will close April 10, or when cot¬ ton is planted, whichever is the earlier. When disaster strikes and destroys our production, making insurance desirable, it will then be too late to apply for crop insurance. Any cotton farmer in Dade county can insure for 50% of his 5 year average yield for a cost of 3 pounds of cotton per acre. If cotton sells for 20c a pound next fall, this will be 60c per acre that this insurance will cost. The deadline for applying for crop insurance is drawing near, making it important that any interested party at once contact his County or Community com¬ mitteeman, or the AAA office in Trenton for details.
