CONSERVATION
NOTES
I mentioned a week ago that
there would be green grass by
May 17th. There will be a little
woods pasture by that time. You
won’t make any money though
by trying to get the cows to get
their fill then from your improv
ed pasture fields. All you will do
is cut up your pastures and lose
production. You will be better off
to Reed one hundred dollars per
ton hay, if you can get it, for a
couple weeks longer.
Grass should be at least five
inches high before grazing.
There’s a good reason for that.
A good cow eats about seventy
bites a minute. She also, eats for
about seven and one half hours
a day whether she is on tall grass
or short. It doesn’t make much
difference. On five inch grass she
eats about 125 pounds of rough
age per day. That will make fifty
pounds of milk.
On two inch grass she eats forty
five pounds of roughage in the
same time. That much roughage
will produce twenty pounds of
milk. I never did figure out why
a cow operates according to union
laws but that’s what she does.
The big idea is to give her more
to work with during that time.
Fertilize with notrogen and
phosphate to get the grass up to
where the old cow can work on
it.. Keep her off it until it does
get up there and you have it
made. Just like that!

FARM TARIFFS!

FOR INFORMATION
MODERN FARM HOLDS
MANY FIRE HAZARDS
Today’s farm has all the fire
hazards of a machine shop, fac
tory, gasoline station and paint
shop combined!
That fact was emphasized by
the National Board of Fire Under
writers in a warning issued in
connection with spring clean-up
activities directed toward bring
ing about a more fire-safe com
munity.
Today’s mechanized farm, the
warning stated, makes wide use
of gasoline-operated machinery
and electrical equipment, all of
which have created many new
fire hazards that must be safe
guarded against by the farmer.
In addition, it was emphasized
that farm fires frequently result
in almost total loss. •
“Unlike buildings in urban
areas, where fire protection and
water supplies are usually ade
quate, those in farm areas are
often completely destroyed when
they catch fire,” the Nations
Board of Fire Underwriters ex
plained.
