Cows Cost Reduced
by GOOd Pastulra3e

Lowest cost diet from prin-
cipal dairy feeds commonly US
ed In Michigan Is that bitten off
by q cow out on pasture. ac-
cording to figures cited by A. c.
Baltzer, extension dairyman at
Michigan State College.
For that reason he recon-
mends stretching q pasture pro-
gram to six months rather than
relying on ordinary bluegrass
for three months each summer.
Here are the cost figures on
typical dairy feed crops: Oats,
932 units Of digestible nutrients
an acre, cost Of 100. pounds Of
digestible nutrients, $2.02; corn
silage, 1880 units, cost for 100
pounds 81 digestible material.
$1.54; corn a. grain, l778 units,
$1.38; timothy, 1887 units,
$121; soybeans, 1,725 units,
$1.O6: red clover hay, 1922; SGT
alfalfa hay, 2522, $.83; pasture
units vary but cost Of 100 pounds
of digestible units ranges con-
sistently near "a cents.
Good summer feeding Of dairy
cows involves an abundant sup
ply of water, grain for the heav-
lest mixers and an always
available supply Of salt and
steamed bone meal In the ratio
of two to one.
Pasture should not be abused,
warns Baltzer, and this means
letting pasture plants get well
established before grazing and

AS the country expanded and
people migrated westward, some
thing happened to them The land
got into their blood. From their
point OF view, people who mi
grated found the United States TO
be very different place, consider
ing it as whole, than the common
view Of their relatives and friends
they left behind-satisfied that all
that was worth while in the
United States was east Of the Allie
gheny mountains. To those on the
seaboard a man who migrated to
the Western Reserve, which to
many means northern Ohio. was
considered a westerner. The more
daring of the Piedmont region
ventured into the wilderness,
which is now Alabama. Such pio-
neering built great people, nodded

BY 1880 THE Grand Prairie"
was settled. 1t was way out west"
in what is now western Indiana
and southern Illinois. Today we
know that geographically THE
Grand Prairie" is just good start
toward jaunt TO the west coast
Of the United States.
The drama OF pioneering re-
occurred time after time, as the
wave OF population and settlement
slowly blanketed the land like an
irresistible force pushing its way
slowly but with determination
from the eastern seaboard to the
west coast of the United States.
The pattern was always the same.
One-room log huts with creased
paper windows. These were ac-
companied by simple clothes and
simple food. Through trial and
error these people adapted them
selves to the section Of the country
they had chosen as their home
stead. In so doing. they became
part Of the land. The economic and
political development that took
place in this country was simply
a manifestation of the people who
in turn reacted directly to the nat
ural wealth and opportunity found
In the soil. Talk TO the people In
any locality from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. and you will find that
the product of the land on which
people live. its location, influence
