Just 50 dairying is faced with the
problems Of new methods.
In the general farm planning
program, the theme of our Agri-
cultural Colleges, extension lead

Land Planning or diverting
crop producing lands from their
present use, to soil conserving and
soil building crops, such as le-
gumes, hays and grasses and the
development of more livestock.
Whenever. we change from crop

hays increase, dairy farming be-
comes inevitable. History has
proven this. When we consider
some of the countries of Europe
such as Denmark, England and
Holland as they change from
grains to grass. the type of farm

raised on those farms. Why? Just
because the farmer will be
forced, regardless of the amount

hesitation that his championship
touch is gone.
His golf still is expert. On days
when he is swinging just right he
can come close TO beating any pro
or amateur in the game. It's the
tournament concentration that
has been lost.
"You can't win in tournament
play unless you concentrate on
every stroke, he explains. That's
why l never expect to win the
Masters. And that's why I never
expect to play again in any tour
