COPPER OUTPUT
QUOTAS GIVEN

Arbitrary quotas have been as
signed to custom shelters in the
copper industry by H. o. King,
deputy NRA administrator in
charge of copper, as the result Of
their failure to agree among them
selves.
The total Of 100000 pounds
of copper a month. which may be
obtained by retreating and refin-
ing custom ores and from scrap
copper and brass under the NRA
code, has been apportioned in
pounds as follows:
American Metal Company g.

subsidiary of Phelps Dodge Cor
poration 100000; Am er lean

Sweet Clover Hay Rated
Hiph I'm Minnesota Test

Steers will fatten practically as well
on sweet clover hay as on alfalfa of
similar quality, according to Minnesota
experiment station trials recently com.
pleted. Other university farm trials
showed that the two kinds of hay
were about equal also for winter beef
scows and heifers. Trials have given
like results with lambs.
Cutting the cured sweet clover with
an ensilage cutter was found advis-
able for cattle feeding but there was
no apparent advantage in cutting ii
for fattening lambs. Fine grinding OF
roughage makes the feed too expen-
sive for cattle. .
Z Cut corn fodder also was found a
fairly satisfactory roughage for dry
beef cows and heifers, when fed in
limited quantities with corn silage and
cut sweet clover hay and when fed
with shelled corn to fattening lambs.
The heifers lost some flesh on ration
of roughage only, and 1t was found
necessary to add little grain to keep
them gaining. Adding linseed meal to
the lamb ration of shelled corn and
cut corn fodder improved 1t slightly
but decreased the feeding profit.
Prairie hay, even though of excel
lent quality and supplemented with
linseed meal and limestone, proved an
unsatisfactory roughage for fattening
yearling steer calves and lambs.

Give Pastures Start

Good pastures are an asset to any
farm, and particularly to good live
stock farm. Many farmers damage
their pastures by turning stock on
them during the early days of spring.
The ground is usually soft and tramp
ing damages the plants. The worst
damage, however, comes through close
grazing Of the young plants before
they have a chance to get started.
Plants require a reasonable top growth
in order that their roots become firmly
established. The young, tender grass
of early spring does not have as much
nutritive value as 1t will have few
weeks later. 1t is best for the live
stock and much the best for pastures
If they are given a chance to get
a good start.

Use Planes to Fight Hoppers

The adoption Of airplanes to fight
grasshoppers is another illustration Of
the resourcefulness Of the western
Canada farmer. Spreading of poison
for grasshoppers has been so success
full in one or two areas in southern
Alberta that it will probably be adopt
ed as regular method in future. The
planes were used I'm flying at 100-feet
elevation, using four pounds Of bait to
the acre. The cost per section was
IS to $40, and the distribution thinly
and evenly done, and so effective,
with the use of oiled bait, that hoppers
were still dying a week after the bait
vas spread.

men. Fieids University Of illi moi SfSi
Damage from dust storms, which
proved so devastating to young alfalfa
seedlings In some sections, can be prac-
tically eliminated IL oats is sown as a
nurse crop with the new alfalfa seed
ings this fall.
Largely as a result Of the poor
stands of forage caused by the drouth
and the provisions of the AAA pro-
grams, it is anticipated that an excep.
tionally large acreage Of alfalfa will
be seeded during the next few weeks.
An appreciate amount Of these seed
ings will be on sandy or light wind
blown soils which are subject to wind
erosion capable of running seedlings
made during the latter part Of the
summer.
Tests at the Oquawka soil expert.
ment field, maintained in Henderson
county by the University Of Illinois
College Of Agriculture, show that this
damage may be largely done away
with by the use Of oats as combi-
nation nurse and cover crop for fall
seeded alfalfa on sandy land. Obser-
vations made at the Oquawka field dis
closed no damage to alfalfa seeded
last fall where surrounded by good
oats growth. However, a few feet
away where no oats had grown the
alfalfa was either badly damaged or
entirely killed by the wind-blown sand.
In larger unprotected area on the
field, sand had drifted several inches
deep, completely burying a strip Of
bluegrass.
In addition to preventing the move
ment Of the soil by high winds, oats
sown as nurse crop with alfalfa this
fall supplies at least three other ad-
vantages. Grasshoppers prefer the
oats to the young alfalfa plants and
thus are not so likely to feed upon
the legume; oats Is less of competi-
tive companion for the alfalfa than
weeds would be, and oats aids In pro-
tecting the alfalfa against the winter
cold.

Turn to Pasture

Farmers in the corn belt are taking
d leaf from the book Of experience Of
the British farmers after the Napole-
onic wars. The latter, finding them
selves unable to compete with cheap
foreign grain, which came in after hos
tilities ended, turned their fields
back into pasture land. Pasture land
offers many advantages because it pro-
vides a rotation which is beneficial to
the soil. 1t requires blowing each
year. Many of the grasses used are
ANIMALS which do not reseed.
