Permanent pastures are a cheap
source of Succulence vitaminS, and
proteins which means well
balanced ration.
While the growing of permanent
pastures is a comparatively new
project in Imperial county, the re-
port showed that much valuable
information had been accumulated
thus far. Frequent irrigations are
recommended. this factor being of
great Importance. Land for seeding
should be carefully prepared. The
seed is expensive, ranging from
$3.50 TO $500 per acre. Planting
between Oct. Is and Dec. l has
given satisfactory results. 1t was
noted that smaller fields increase
the fencing costs.

mixtures is a new venture in forage
production and is declared TO offer
great promise to the livestock and
dairy producer.
The study showed that l9 hours
of man labor are required per acre
per year to take care of the perma-
nent pastures. Alfalfa requires
from so to 60 man hours per acre.
Carrying capacity averaged l.25
animal units per acre with some
records as high as three animal
units per acre, the report showed.
Permanent pastures produce as
much feed per acre as hay. Cash
costs per acre averaged S2043 and

Messina straits which are from two

objective of the Allies was to seize

 New York, Sept. 28-Out of mighty Whirlaway's stable speeds another dark-chestnut colt, Warren Wright's Pensive, attempting to gall lop meteorically in two brief weeks from obscurity to the championship of two-year-oldS.
 Turf attention will be riyeted upon Pensive's performance Satur- day in the 54th running of the ESQ., 900 Belmont Ftlturity, worlds most famous fixture for juveniles.
 Though hailed as another "Calu- met Comet, this handsome young ster comes up to the Futurity with only two previous starts under his heels-the two races he won at Bell mont Park last week.
 Despite Pensive's lack of competi- tion. victory in the Futurity would make him king of his class, because of the existing tumble in the divi- sion. Such victory also probably would make him early favorite for next years Kentucky Derby, the classic which Whirlaway won in l94l.
 Owner Wright and Trainer Ben Jones had planned to send the Cal- umet baby to the races last spring: but he developed shin bucks in training, and later came up with distemper and cough. Hence the delayed start.
 Wright and Jones expected pen- slve to follow the hoofmarks of Whirlaway. the turfs greatest ale time money-winner who was retired to stud this year at the Calumet Farm, Lexington, Ky. They based their hopes upon Penslye's breeding and his perfect confcrmations as a yearling.
