Better and More Grass for Pasture

Improvement in the growth and
insurance of sufficient pasture feed
than is increased acreage, says DR.
Ernest Van Alstine, of the agronomy
department at the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural College
The fact that doubling the growth
will give as much feed on an acre as
grew before on two acres is only a
part, in many cases only small part
of the reason for this. Plants, like
human beings, most often suffer and
die when they are in a weakened con-
dition Pestilence, disease and death
reap their greatest toll during fam
inc and children are the first victims.
The same sort of troubles harass the
starved pasture grasses that have
their courageous little heads nibbled
off whenever they are high enough to
tempt the bite of hungry cattle. When
hard times, from the standpoint OF
the grasses, come along, such times
as hot scorching dry sumers and Sc
we're winters with their ice coatings,
the plants that suffer first and suffer
most will be those that are smallest
and least vigorous, those that have
been undernourished. After such a
time a man with 80 acres of pasture
land may find himself with very much
less than half the feed for his stock
than the man with 40 acres of pasture
which has been kept vigorous and
healthy by the use of sufficient nour-
ishment along with proper manage

Cow Test Association.

Although one of the largest dairy
counties in the state we can boast of
only one Cow Test association. To
be sure this does not speak very well
| for the use. of business methods
among Orleans County herds. A few
! farmers however, in the vicinity of
Glover, Barton. Westmore and Brown
| ington are determined to take the
"guess work" out of dairying and are
trying to organize Cow Testing as
ISOLATION. Any farmers in the vicin-
ity of these towns interested in such
a proposition should communicate by
letter or phone to one of the three
following men: G.. w. Bean, West
Glover; R. H. Calkins, Westmore; R..
A. Dutton, Orleans.
What Cow Test Associations Show.
Cows that freshen in autumn will
give more milk and butter fat than
those that freshen at any other sea-
son of the year.
Yearly records of 11,130 dairy
cows in Cow Test associations in all
parts of the United States show the
following facts:
Cows Freshenin~ in Autumn
Average production 6591 lbs. milk
