The publications conclusion is based
specifically on census figures for the

the average county has experienced a
1913 per cent increase in rural resi-
dents during the past 10 years, COM
pared with a gain of only 1913 per

HAY BEST VITAMIN SOURCE
FOR WINTER FEEDING
May Be Lost Unless Product Is
Properly Stored


Maryland farmers, now in various
stages of midsummer hay-making,
are carefully "bottling up" their live
stocks winter supply of vitamin A.
High-quality hay is one of the hest
winten sources of this important Wit
amin, but it may be largely lost in
hay-making if the hay is leached by
rain, bleached by the sun, under
cured 50 that it becomes musty and
moldy in the stack, the Eale or the
NOW, or is allowed to become so dry
that the leaves shatter.
Dr. Fed II. Leinbach, head of the
animal husbandry department at the
Univt rsity Of Maryland, pointed out
that it is to the farmers advantage
to avoid this loss, particularly this
year when better feeding practices
mean more food for national defense
and prices for farm products are good.
Yitamin Essential
Built from caroline, the orange-ycI-
low pigment in grasses and legumes,
vitamin A is essential for health in
all farm stock. Cows fed rations low in
"a" may abort, or bear weak, dead
OF blind calves. Some of the offspring
from cows so fed may live a few days
or weeks, only to develop severe pneu-
monia, permanent blindness, convul-
sions, or other disorders, says Dr..
LeinEach. Horses, sheep and swine
are also affected.
DR.. Leinbach said that studies by
the Department of Agriculture have
shown that vitamin A potency of but
terfat from cows fed U. S. No. 1 al
falfa hay was at least four times that
of fat from cows fed U. S. No. 3
timothy.
Swine Benefit
GrGss or legume pasture in the
summer and liberal quantities of
properly cured legume or grass hay
Of the current seasons crop in win
ter or during periods of drylot feed
ing will precent or cure vitamin A
deficiency in cattle, sheep, horses and
goats, this expert states. Swine also
obtain considerable carotene from
good pasture, and during winter leafy
legume hay or 5 to 10 per cent high
grade alfalfa meal in the grain mix
ture will supply sufficient vitamin A
for sows or fattening hogs.
