Sommer Grazing Crops Take Load off Pastures | By: R. P. Leckie County Agent Plant summer and fall grazing crops to "pinch hit” for the permenant pasture at low growth and over grazed periods. Lespe* Jeza, judzu and other crops now growing should not be over grazed. Be sure these crops are well rooted befoi e stock is turn* ed in on them to graze. There is still time to plant cowpeas, soybeans, velvet beans, millet and sudan grass if more acreage of tempm ary grazing is needed. In planting those crops for grazing, the soil should be thoroughly prepared. Manure applied and owrked into the soil or a fertilizer according to tht requirements of the crop used A good fertilizer for cowpea.*, soybeans and velvet beans is 20t> to 300 pounds of 18 percent Superphosphate or 0 14*10 ano tor millet and Sudan grass 200 t< 300 pounds of complete fertilizer such as 4*12 4 or 3*9-6 or their equivalents. Good seed rates are 2 to 2 1-2 bushels of cowpeas broadcast, 50 to 70 pounds of soybeans in rows depending, 1 I*4 to 1 I*2 bushi Is of velvet bea s broadcast, 10 to 15 pounds of mi.let or 15 to 25 pounds of Sudan grass in rows Care should be taken to not graz. the plants 100 young. Usually more growth can be gotton by not grazing cowpeas, soybeans and velvet beans until bloomiug stage and Sudan grass and mi.let until it is 12 to 15 inches high Cowpeas, soybeans and veL. i beans must be grazed sparingly for a second growth is desired Mi'let and Sudan grass will come back when grazed ciuoe. Hay From Legumes Cowpeas, velvet beans, lespe* deza, and soybeans make excell ent hay if bandied and cured properly. The stock can be taken off these crops after they have been grazed down and the second growth can be harvested for hay. This method is ideal for a good livestock progi am.

The best most of us can understand what it is for, is when you get to doing any thing that takes money, and what you are doing will not pay the ex pense, then we take the money that belongs to everybody and pour it in until it is a paying business. Now it looks like when a fellow gets married, what he needs is a subsidy and while the nqws is get ting everywhere what a subsidy can do, instead of letting just a few of the boys get it, we could give a subsidy to everybody that is marri ed when it is not paying expenses. This marrying is a big business so a subsidy for all of them would beat that ham and egg program all to pieces. How to finance it is no trou ble, as we could get one big subsi dy to take care of all the little sub sidies.

Sample Copy 5c Number 3 emu EM SHORTAGES SEEN New York, Juno 15.—Critcal food shortages, caused by a combi nation of war circumstances, were foreseen today by agriculturists and economists who advocated a change in the nation’s diet and an end of the government’s control programs to ease the situation. W. I. Myerson, Cornell Universi ty economist, called for a reduction in meat consumption by civilians and an increase in the consumption of wheat, soybeans, corn and dried peas and beans. Speaking at the Dairymen’s League Col-operative As sociation food forum, Myers said that by “direct consumptipn”—feeding the crops to livestock—as much as 84 per cent of the food energy was lost. In outlining a “realistic war-time food program,” Myers .advised the elimination of all government con trol piograms and payments re stricting the, production of essential crops; reestablisment of prices for essential foods well in advanse of planting and breeding season and an increase in the production of all im portant food crops. Another speaker, J. A. McConnel, of the Co-operative Grange Leauge Federation Exchange, Ithaca, N. Y., asserted that the shortage of live stock feed had been estimated at from 15 to 25 per cent and predict ed that “fairly heavy killing—par ticularly of heavy grain—consum- ing animals such as poultry and hogs—will take place.” Fred H. Sexauer, president of the Dairymen’s League Co-oper.. - tive Association, said, however, t S “The food scarcities of today : a going to be minor compared ■■> what we shall face before the wa. i over,” when there is a need to f- I nations made hungry, by the wai As the entire subject of food v. s opened up at the forum, there were reports of a meat shortage in New York city, but many butchers qui iy denied them, saying they 4 had f i ficient supplies to cover Ted ra.l^n coupons. Paul S. Willis, president of the Ascociated Grocery Manufacturers of America, told the 300 delegates at the forum that the “OPA’s price control plan has failed miserably.” BURNAM POPE CALLED TO SERVICE MONDAY Burnam T.
