Feed And Comfort
For Cows Helps
Stop Milk Slump

We cannot afford, financially or
patriotically to have a summer
slump in milk production this
year, says George Hyatt, Jr., ex-
tension dairy husbandman for the
University of Maryland.
Lack of feed is the main reason
that milk production falls off so
rapidly during the summer months,
ne states,, and flies and high tenn
peratures have a detrimental eff
feet, also.
Permanent bluegrass pastures
furnish lots of feed early in the
season, but as the weather turns
hot bluegrass deteriorates rapidly,
ne points out. This period of
short, dried pastures must be an
ticipated and provided for, he says,
if milk production is to be main
tanned. He reminds dairymen
that a cow weighing 1900 pounds
and producing 80 pounds of 3.5
percent milk daily would require
about 100 pounds of mixed pasture
grasses daily to supply her needs
for milk production and keep her
from losing weight.
Perhaps you have some second
crop meadows that can be grazed,
he suggests, or a field of Sudan
grass. Second-growth clover or
alfalfa will supply excellent pas
ture, as will lespedeza and ladino
clover.
At any time during the sum-
mer, when permanent or supple
mentary pasture fails to "fill up"
the cows, silage and hay are ex-
cellent supplements, he states.
They should have all they will con-
sumo. By feeding literally of sill
age and hay, the amounts of more
expensive grain feeds can be kept
at a minimum.
When pastures are excellent,
grain mixture furnishing IL to Ia
percent protein is sufficient, Mr..
Hyatt advises, but as pastures de-
teriorate, it is advisable to increase
the protein to 16 to 18 percent,
as well as the rate of grain feed
ing, if little supplementary pas
ture or hay and silage is available.
If you feed enough hay or silage
when pastures are short so that
the cows get as much total rough
age as they would if they were on
good pasture, he says, very little
more grain need be fed than when
on excellent pasture.
Cows use up a lot Of energy in
fighting flies, Mr.. Hyatt says. The
best fly control, he declares, is to
eliminate their breeding places,
such as manure piles, garbage,
and sewage. Spray cows lightly
each day. This adds greatly to
their comfort and kills the eggs of
the heel fly, preventing infestation
by cattle grubs.
Access to fresh water, salt and
shade at all times, and darkened,
screened stables will help keep up
summer milk production.

Segregation: Its Vicious
Purpose

Segregation is the special
American means Of branding
colored Americans as the in
feriors OF interiors in public
status.
when the white South
found itself confronted with
the federal status Of equality
for colored people, the former
slaves-equality Of citizen
ship, of freedom, Of franchise
rights, backed by the nation
al government - It selected
the denial Of presence and Of
service in places opened for
public patronage as the one
great way to brand colored
people as having been a slave
race and make them forever
the scorn Of civil society,
ut is a very effective meas
ure. Colored people are trail
tors to themselves to aid and
abet the idea by selt-segrega-

BLACK MARKET DWARFS
DIZZY BOOTLEG LIQUOR ERA

Big as it was, the Illicit
liquor traffic during the prOhi-
bitiOn era couldn't hold a
candle" to the BLACK market"
which has grown up during
the two short years since price
control and rationing were
adopted.
That is a statement made by
highly-priced official OF the
Office Of Price Administration
who figuratively "tore his
hair in contemplation of what
is taking place every hour and
every day.
The bootleg traffic, he re-
called was in the hands Of the
"Scum of creation" - crooks
attracted from other criminal
activities by big and easy pro-
fits.
The present day "black
market" has its fair share of
underworld characters, but
the worst crimes are being
committed and the biggest
money harvested by eminent
ly-respectable" business men.
Profits of the BLACK market"
run high into the billions, -
not millions - O.P.A. officials
estimated. They declared that
price cheating is so widespread
and takes so many forms that
the extent Of the gouge on all
consumers can scarcely be CAL
culated.
For a year after price con-
troll was adopted, the "black
marketeers" had an almos,
free hand. That was In the
days Of noisy Leon Henderson

consumers, it was explained, is
"legalAed" racketeering made
possible by regulations formu-
lated by Henderson when he
was at the head of O.P.A. and
when covetous business men
have capitalized to the limit.
One of these regulations
permits manufacturers to bring
out new brands and fix prices
without regard to established
ceilings. Distillers, Gamers,
clothing manufacturers, cigar
manufacturers, and scores of
other producers have taken
advantage of the loophole,
flooding the market with hun
dreds of brand names that
were unknown two years ago.
1t has been estimated that
distillers alone by this method
have boosted their profits more
than $500,O00,000 a year. Today
1t is next to impossible to OBJ
tain long-established brands
of whisky.
The same is true, perhaps
to a greater degree, of cigars,
where substitution and degrs-
dalton of products has become
so scandalous that this week
OPA. issued special instruc-
tons to enforcement agencies
to take action.
With few exceptions, most
of the old, familiar cigar
names have virtually disap-
peared from dealers counters
and shelves. In their place are
brands of inferior quality bear
ing fancy price tags, Manu-
facturerS who spent millions in
popularizing brands are turn
ing out just enough cigars to
keep the names alive, while
the bulk of their product is
marketed under new names,
with prices increased 100 TO
300 per cent.

airy means.
The cigarette manufacturers,
whose prices have been con-
trolled by the OP.A,, are try
ing to get on the gravy
train" They have sent flock
Of lobbyists to Washington
with instructions to break the
price ceilings, under threat Of
withholding supplies to civil
ians unless the demand Is
granted.
Smokers find 1t increasingly
difficult to obtain well-advef-
tised brands, an indication
that the threat has already
been put into effect, Many new
brands have recently mace
their appearance.
The O.PA. official declared
that the cigarette people are
making good profits and that
the drive for higher prices is
a holdup. He pointed out that

duct lavishly-financed adver-
