Washington, D. c. A why
bother now" attitude toward new
war regulations, which seems to
be spreading through congress as
well as among the general public,
has caused deep concern among
military and war production Of
ficials. These officials realize that
with the invasion of Europe only
in its first stages and the Japa-
nese war having hardly started,
the feeling that we can get by
without making any futher i'm
portant changes in the handling
of war problems is an extremely
dangerous one.
Ii the war news were not so
optimistic, and if there were not
a presidential election being held
this year, there is little doubt that
congress would pass strong legis-
lation which would prevent such
a diSgraceful affair as the recent
strike of foremen which caused
the loss of thousands of planes on
the eve of invasion. Legislation
or new inspection arrangements
would also be approved to prevent
the sloW-downs, the waste of man
power and the extravaganza
which is known to be running
rampant in our shipyards as we'll
as in other war production indus
tries.
But the experts say that the
present laissez-faire attitude of
congress toward many of these
problems, although tied up some
what with the election, has a
deeper source in that it reflects
the attitude of a large portion of
the public. They say that stud
les of public opinion indicate a
willingness on the part OF the peo-
pie to let things slide-an irrita-
ton with new regulations of any
kind-and a general belief that
from now on conditions on the
home front will be relaxed. The
public, they say, expects to have
more gasoline this summer, more
tires, new products which have

Farming Notes
By ROY ii. GROUSE
Better Quality Of Hay Can Be
Made By Earlier Cutting

We have an increased animal
population of Ashe county this
year with a poor prospect of suf-
ficient feed being available to
carry us through next winter. The
next thing to do, and the only
economical way to produce live
stock is through the production
of more and better quality hay.
The value of hay is measured
largely by it's protein content
High protein hays which have
been we'll cured are usually fair
ly well balanced with the other
ingredients for farm feeding.
The stage of maturity has a
very important bearing on the
protein content in hays as shown
by this table:

crease IN protein toward maturl-
ty in proportion to the above fl
cures.
In buying commercial feeds we
pay highest prices for the protein
content so why not produce more
high protein feeds by harvesting
our meadows earlier.
When to cut various hays to
receive the highest protein per
acre:
Alfalfa-when Ito to "a in

Red C1over-early bloom stage.
Lespedeza-When in full bloom.
Soybeans- When the seed are

Timothy and Orchard Grass

When to start mowers and
rakes:
l. Start the mowers as soon as
the dew is off. 2. Start the rake
early enough to get all of the hay
that has been cut before noon in
windows before dark.
Hay dries most rapidly in the
swath. However, if left in the
swath until completely cured, it
loses color and often becomes so
dry and brittle that most of the
leaves are lost. Leaves contain
the high percent of the protein
content in the plant, so they are
worth saving.
The most successful farmers,
or those who produce livestock
most economically, are the ones
who produce more legume hays
of high quality and produce silage
