GOOD PASTURE
FOR DAIRY FEED
Important in Lowering Cost
of Milk Production;
Studies Made
NEED FERTILIZER

An important factor in increas-
ing the production of milk on Della
ware larry farms in 1912 will be in
creased feeding. One way to pro-
vide more economical feed is to
have a good pasture, advises Claude
E. Phillips, forage crop specialist
for the University of Delaware Ag-
ricultural Extension Service, for no
factor is of greater importance in
lowering the cost of milk produc-
ton than providing excellent pas
ture for the dairy herd just as long
as it is possible. Careful studies
have shown that good pasture
can furnish about one-third the to-
tai feed for the whole year at a
cost of about one-seventh the an
nual feed cost. Phillips points out
that just as we cannot expect a
COW to produce large quantity of
milk profitably without a proper
feeding program, we cannot expect
the pasture to produce the most
economical returns if it is not well
fertilized Although pasture is one
of the most valuable crops grown
on the dairy farm, it is too often
the most neglected crop. Phillips
recommendation for permanent
pastures is a yearly application of
200 to 300 pounds of a 0-20-20 fer
tilizer or it's equivalent. For best
results this application should be
made in September. But if this
was not done last fall, an early ap-
plication this spring will give good
results. For those dairymen who
want earlier grazing than usual, he
recommends applying 200 pounds
of sulfate of ammonia or it's equiv
alent to a portion of the pasture.
Not more than one-sixth of the
field should receive this fertilizer.
Dairymen are advised to make sure
that the pasture is not low in lime
before applying fertilizers. If the
pasture is deficient in lime, fertiliz-
ers will give only small and ,lnsat-
isfactory results. If the pasture
has not been lined for the last five
or six years, Phillips says the first
step to improve the pasture is to
apply the proper amount of lime.
He recommends 1000 pounds of
lime per acre, applied as son as pos
sible.

Sfomach Disorders
Caused by Nerves

SYCHOSOMATICS is name
that may scare you. It's tone
is high-sounding, but add it to
your vocabulary because it may
mean peace for you. Peace for that
battle that's raging between your
nervous system and your stomach.
Anywhere from fifty to eighty
per cent of all stomach disorders,
says Helen Haberman in the
November Cosmopolitan magazine,
come from worry, and psychosoma-
tics is merely the name for that
relation between your. mind
(psyche) and your body (soma).
Bringing them togetaer in the
science of psychosomatics means
that your doctor, along with the
rest of the medical profession is
coming around to the view that it's
not always your organs that are
sick. It's your emotions.
Worry, says Miss Haberman in
her article, goes to the stomach.
OuCu lIOuDlcS DIS ldA IcpOIto, q ulo-
agreeable mother-in-law, money or
office worries, take their toll in
stomach upsets, so that when you
complain to your doctor of stomach
aches he must treat your emotions
as well as your body.
Strong emotions, Miss Heberman
states, through your sympathetic
nervous system, create vast supply
of emergency strength, and be-
cause you have no outlet for it, you
get bilious. To calm your spirits,
stop rushing for the sake of rush,
the author suggests. Never eat
when you are tired or worried.
Wait until you calm down before
you put your stomach to work. In
these days of strain, calm stomachs
are as important as airplanes or
anti-aircraft. Start defense pro-
gram of your own. Then watch your
nerves and stomach calm down.

CHICAGO, June 2.-After gaining
as much as cent a bushel in early
trading, wheat futures again turned
reactionary and prices slumped
more than a cent a bushel today.
Just before the final gong July
wheat sold at 11512, establishing
another new seasonal low. All de-
liveries of rye also broke sharply
into new low ground for the season.
The weakness of grains and soy
beans was attributed to a downturn
of around 81 a bale in cotton. On
the scale down prices for wheat
and rye touched off stop-loSs selling.
During the final few minutes of
trading prices continued to uncover
successive new seasonal lows. The
close was minor fractions above the

LiddIe Testifies
Declares Company Has
No Exclusive Contract
With Parent Firm
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2-Charles
A. Liddle, president of the Pullman
Standard Car Manufacturing Co..
testified today that the firm would
sell any kind of a car which it is
able to build to any person, firm or
corporation ready, willing and able
to buy"
Called as a defense witness at a
hearing on the Governments anti
trust charges against the Pullman
companies and 81 officers, Liddle
said Pullman-Standard never re-
fused to manufacture or sell any
kind of a car where the buyer was
ready, except as the company may
have been limited at some particular
time or other about capacity"
He said there was no contract in
existence between Pullman-Stan-
dard and the Pullman Co., both SUBJ
sidiaries of Pullman, Inc, which re-
quires Pullman, Inc, to buy its Sleep
ing cars from Pullman-Standard or
Pullman Co.
John F. Deasy, operating vice
president of the PENNSYLVANIA Rail
road, testified at the resumption of
the hearing yesterday that the pub
lie ultimately would pay increased
transportation charges if railroads
operated their own sleeping car
service instead of leasing it.
1t is more desirable and eco
nomical to lease from Pullman, he
said.
Purchase of its own equipment
by each road would result in a
''hodge-podge appearance" and a
''hodge-podge in the nature of the
service provided" he said.
Cost of equipment under such
circumstances, he added, would, in
my judgment, greatly exceed the
cost of such equipment furnished
by the individual or corporation
furnishing the service"
The Government contends Pull
man has exercised a monopoly on
the sleeping car service and re-
strained trade in the manufacture
of railway cars.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Most stock

another good war news budget al
though no particular weakness was

Bidding came in at the start on
overnight dispatches telling of the
second plane blast at the Nazis but

While an assortment of favorities

Dealings were just about as slug
gish as in the previous session,
transfers for the full proceedings
approximating 100000 shares.
Another stumble in major COM
modities, after initial steadying
tendencies, provided scant comfort
for followers of the share division.

pessimism over the administration

port of war materials duty free by
principal governmental agencies.
