Early Grazing Is
Bad For Pastures

Tender young grass growing in
permanent pastures early in the
spring looks mighty good, but it's
not quite good enough to eat.
The early growth contains only
small percentage Of nutrients
and cattle cannot eat enough to
maintain their body weight and
keep up a heavy milk flow, said
John A. Arey, of State College.
In her attempt to satisfy her
hunger, cow often eats weeds and
buds in sufficient quantities to give
her milk an unpalatable flavor.
such is not marketable.
Early grazing is bad for the pas
ture, too, Arey went on. When
the first growth is grazed, the grass
is damaged in two ways.
The grass needs the early leaves
to manufacture plant food, make a
vigorous growth, and develop good
root system. If the first growth is
grazed off, the pasture will fail to
produce good grazing through the
summer.
Usually the soil is soft and
damp in the early spring. When
cattle trample over soft, moist
clay soil they cut it up into clods
that will dry out hard, and at the
same time they damage the grass
roots with their hooves.
If possible, cattle should be
grazed on temporary pasture I'M
til the permanent pasture grasses
have become we'll established in a
firm soil Rye and crimson clover,
or wheat, barley, and crimson Glow
er make good temporary pastures.
Where no temporary pasturage is
available, hay and silage should be
fed until permanent pastures are
ready for grazing.

TO COMPROMISE ON
REORGANIZATION BILL

Washington, April 3-President
Roosevelt left his congressional
leaders free today to pursue com
promise tactics in an effort to save
his government reorganization bill
from house defeat at the hands OF
Republicans and revolving Demo
Gratis.
He returned from a vacation at
his "other home" in Warm Springs,
Ca, to find the reorganization mea-
sure the subject of the greatest po-
litical controversy since his court
will was defeated last year.
Within a few hours he conferred
with house and senate leaders on
ways to overcome the opposition in
the house and thus save the bill and
his own leadership.
Representatives Rayburn of Tex
as, the house Democratic leader,
acted as spokesman for the legisla-
tors when they emeged from the
White House after an hour and a
half session.

QUESTION:: Do laying birds need
cod liver oil in the mash during the
spring?
ANSWER: Cod liver oil is used in
poultry mashes to add vitamin D
and vitamin A to the ration and,
while both of these vitamins are
contained in green feed there is Of
ten lack of this feed in the spring.
These elements are also manufac-
tured by the birds in their bodies
when they have access to plenty of
sunshine, but because of bad wealth

these reasons it is we'll to include

THE President has certainly
l. struck a sound note in his
statement that while he will press
for a re-armament program he
will not attempt to finance it with
borrowed funds, but will put il
on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The reports from Washington
up to now and from responsible
sources predicted armament pro-
duction would be made part, ol
the program of recovery and pay
ing for ornaments part of the
pump-priming plan.
The President puts these dis
quieting rumors at rest.
But he introduces another dis.
quieting proposal. 1t is the so.
called asset plan of treasury ac.
counting under which the budget
can be balanced by certain form,
of trick beokkeeping-balancec
without balancing it..
The idea is that the government
should be treated like a private
business. If corporation spend,
several millions on erecting a new
plant and gets the money for thai
purpose from a bond issue-goine
into debt-that is not considered
an unbalancing of its; budget pro-
Vlded its ordinary operating budg-
ct Is in balance.
Why, then, should not govern.

government should raise cash to
pay its running expenses, but

that expenditure be put down D.
an expenditure and why should
the money borrowed be consid-
cred as a deficit transaction?
The answer is simple. When a
corporation borrows S10,OO0,O0O
and builds a plant, it has the
plant and the plant becomes a
source of revenue and profit to it.
The revenue produced by the
plant will pay the interest on the
bonds and ultimately retire them
if it is wise corporation.
But if the government spends
billion ON soil conservation, the
soil does not belong to the govern
ment. 1t belongs to the individ-
ual farmers. They will benefit.
And if the soil becomes. more VAL
liable they will get the values.
The government is a corporate
entity and unless the expenditure
it makes increases the value of
its own plant. the value will not
inure to it.
1t may help the people and this
may be a good reason for the i'm
provement. But we ought not, for
that reason, delude ourselves in
to supposing the government has
had the same sort of gain that a
corporation has when it improves
its own lands and builds its own
buildings and collects in cash the
revenues set in motion by the
improvements.
Soil conservation results in ben

hts and social benefits. And what

MUST GET GOOD MEN

1t is very we'll to talk of laws
to punish treacherous public OF
ficials. But we should not have
treacherous public officials to
punish. What we should do is to
keep such men out of public Of
fee. But of course before the
people can vote for men they can
trust, it will be necessary always
to have the names of such men
on the ballots.
Usually the people are restrict
ed to voting for candidates select
ed by political organizations
whose aims are more selfish than
patriotic. Too often when the
voter goes to the polls he cannot
vote for men he desires; the most
he can do is to vote for the least
offensive candidates, who have
been hand-picked for the service
which they will render, if elected,
TO political rings and machines.
Usually it is difficult, if not I'M
possible for a candidate to get
his name on the ballot unless he
has the blessing of an entrenched
political party. Most of our states
have election laws instigated by
the politicians which are calculat-
ed to prevent the running of in
dependent candidates. In one
state for instance, a law passed
by the major political party, re-
quires that before any person can
get his name on the ballot as an
independent candidate, he must
present to the election board a
petition signed by registered vot-
ers equal in number to 25 per
cent of the persons who voted in
the previous gubernatorial cleo
ton. Such a law is not democrat
