EARLY SPRING PASTURE NOT
ENOUGH FOR COWS

Permitting the cows to whet their
appetites on the first green blades OF
spring grass is neither good for the
cows nor the grass although many
Maryland dairymen and farmers
still follow it as time-honored GUS
tom, says DR.. De.Voe Meade, head OF
the livestock and dairy department
at the University of Maryland.~
Results will be much better, ac-
cording to DR.. Meade, if the cows are
kept off the grass until it is three or
four inches high. Even then the
animals should be accustomed to the
pasture gradually, remaining in the
fields for only a few hours daily, the
grass being supplemented with
grain, hay and ensilage.
Early pasture grass contains rela-
lively little dry matter, explains DR..
Meade. Furthermore, if pastured
too closely it will be injured for
grazing later in the year. A heavy
grass diet at the outset OF the season
moreover, tends to produce a grassy
favored milk which is not desirable.
From the standpoint of feeding
value, early spring pasture is worth
considerably less than equivalent
quantities of more mature grass.
Early spring grass, it is pointed out,
contains less than ten pounds OF dry
matter per hundred, while from
twenty to twenty-five pounds will be
found in mature grass.
Even the best of pasture Is not
sufficient to meet the requirements
of the high producing cow, it is
pointed out. A thousand pound
dairy COW, producing thirty pounds
of four per cent milk daily, would
have to eat and digest one hundred
and fifty pounds of grass daily to OBJ
tain an adequate supply of digesti-
BILE nutrients. This, it is pointed
out, would be difficult to do unless
the pasture were abundant.
For this reason high producing
cows and all cows on scant pasture
require grain supplement. Cows
producing more than twenty pounds
of milk daily should be given grain
at the rate of one pound of grain to
each four to six pounds of milk, de-
pending upon the milk's richness.
Cows on good pasture, yielding from
thirty to thirty-five pounds of milk
per day may be given a concentrated
mixture composed of ground cereals.
For cows producing. in excess OF
thirty five pounds of milk daily, at
least one high-protein concentrate,
such as linseed or cottonseed meal,
is necessary.

England in trying to solve her un-
employment problem and to meet the
immigration of Canada is putting
out some worthwhile Official
schemes. One of these Is that mel
desiring to emigrate should have a
thorough training in the conditions
of Canadian life before doing so.
Another is that English boys who
expect to seek their living ultimately
in Canada should, if possible, emmi-
CRATE before, rather than after, their
three or four years at the Univer-
sity. The advantages for such boys
of attending a Canadian university
are many. One is that the long
summer vacation gives plenty of OPP
portunity for getting temporary en-
ployment Another, and more i'm
portant, is that this contact and
consequent understanding of local
conditions makes life easier for those
who have gone from the home land
to new country.

of sternest difficulties yet work
through their sessions OF University
life! An account OF such work has
just been received from Dresden. AZ
states first of all: The widespread
economic rum of individual cltlzens
and the financial collapse OF the Elm
pire and lrs enLlre economic struc-
ture was bound to react most per-
niciously ON our institutions OF
learning. Our struggle tor the
maintenance of learning and of the
Universities took its strength from
the will to survive. Our students
were drawn together in a common
task of self-help and cooperative
work by the knowledge that the in
dividual was powerless and that aid
from public sources could hardly be
expected"
Some of the means at once tried
were the establishment OF the So
called Mensas where at the institu-
tions in which they are established
about 10000 students now take
their meals at special low prices.
Then for colthes-Students themsel-
yes established cobbler shops, tailor
shops, barber shops, agencies to loan
bedding and to, lend and sell second
hand books. Still by the ten
thousands students were compelled
to interrupt their studies or give
them up entirely; by the ten thou-
Sands they went Into coal Mines
factories, Offices. Manual labor or
any other employment was gladly
accepted. In 1873 seventy per cent
of all our students were working to
meet expenses. Special institutions
were found to provide employment.
These various institutions grew up
about the same time as an express
sion of will to cooperative SELF help.
AT each university these lnstitu-
lions coordinated through special
governing Dody-The Students Co.
operative Bureau.
The report wisely adds: I'VE
realized that youthful enthusiasm
alone would not suffice ii our lnstl-
buttons were to be established on a
sound basis. We prottted by the
experience and the advice OF our
elders and last, but not least, by
their material support. These
branches of Students self help are
today monument to the coopera-
lion of our students, professors and
the general public. Their goal is to
provide free access to the universl-
Ties for the most capable students
from all strata of German society. :,
A Students Loan Bank has been
established. AID is received from
the Student Friendship Fund from
America. Also number OF young
German engineers, agriculturalists
and economists work as self support
ing students in the United States un-
der auspices of the Labor Depart
ment.
These are some high points on the
outline of students activities. Yet
the account is silent on what is the
most significant note of all, and that
is the actual result of what can be
accomplished by cooperation and
friendship. Together they are pow
erful factors. Together they can
surmount the most forbidding diff
culties, which the Students have
proved.

GARRETT COUNTY CHAMPS
DEFEATED BY FROSTBURG
GrantsviIle SOccerites Lose to
Beall High, - to 2

A barrage of field goals in the final
period after having been held to a
single field goal in the first 80 min
utes Of play, enabled Beall High
school, Frostburg, Allegany county
soccer champions, to swamp Grants
vile High school, champions for Gar.
rett, in the initial game of the Mary,
land State championship tournament
played yesterday afternoon. The
score was 10 to 2.
The game marked the ninth time
in as many years than an Allegany
county representative had turned
back the Garrett countians. From the
showing made by Grantsville in the.
first period it appeared as though
Beall was going to have its hands full
but the local champions cracked wide
open in the final stanza.
Billy Bevans, Grantsville goalie,
gave a neat exhibition of stopping
the enemy by tossing out four sue
cessive shots, two of which he handled
while on his knees. The only time
during the final half that Grantsville
showed much punch was when Paul
Livengood headed his teams lone
goal through the posts. A 40-yard
free kick, conferred by J. BIocher, set
the stage for the Garrett county
tally.
