How much farmers get from tnell
pastures next year depends 4 lot or
whether the pastures get attention
this fall. There is a tendency tc
forget all about them from the time
animals, are put on winter feed un-
til it is time to Craze again in the
spring.
Fortunately, pastures will take
lot of abuse, but that is not the way
to make them give greatest produc-
ton.
Fall is the best time to lime and
fertilize pastures for next years
growth. Weed competition is at
minimum. Summer heat stored In
the soil favors root development
while top growth has. practically
ceased. This encourages storage OF
energy nutrients in the roots Of the
plants, so that there is more vi
gorous early spring growth and the
plants stand better next year.
Under good management, grazing
lis discontinued when the first killing
frost comes in the fall. This nor
mally permits / to 2 inches OF tor
growth before the ground freezes
This helps in building root reserves
and giving winter protection.
Sometimes it is necessary to turr
the herd on permanent pasture dur.
Ing the winter for exercise, sunshine
and to keep them out OF the mud
Rather than abuse the entire pas.
ture it is best to fence of limited
area to be used each year, SO thai
the remainder can be handled fol
high production.
The amounts and kind Of lime Il
use depend on soil conditions anC
previous treatment. Once the linn.
needs of the soil have been satisfied
one ton of ground limestone, or it!
equivalent, to the acre, applied ono,
every four or five years on soils O.
heavy texture is enough for mainte
nance. One-half of that amoun
every two or three years is advised
for sandy textured soils.
Applying enough lime, phos
phorous and potash to encourag,
white clover and other legumes
which store up in the soil nitrogen
from the air, generally provides tn
nitrogen required by grasses cheape
than it can be obtained in CONNER
cial form. Often an initial applica
tion of 500 pounds Of lS to 20 PEI
cent superphosphate to the acre vii
give the greatest response for th'
money spent.
When the legumes are increased
they start depicting potash in tn
soil; consequently. later treatmen
should include potash. For mainte
nance, an annual treatment of 80
pounds of 0-14-7 or 0-12-12 ferti
lizer per acre has proved profitable

Veterans Guide
By Moj. Thomas M. Mol

Insurance is a funny thing. I
found out there are many things a
vet can do with his national serv-
Ice life insurance which haven't re-
ceived much publicity. Maybe some
will be as surprised as I was to learn
20 what these things are.
But I want to start this column
of with some more dope on loans
made on your NSLI policy.
One year after you've converted
your term insurance to perma-
nent form it automatically has a
cash value" You can borrow up
to "a per cent of that cash value
any time you want. The interest
rate is 4 per cent. If you pay the
interest each year you may let the
actual loan run for as many years
as you want. OF course, if yeu
haven't repaid it, before you die, the
unpaid balance will be subtracted
from the face value of the insurance
and your beneficiary will get that
much less.
Then there's "paid-up insurance. ."
Suppose you convert your term
insurance to one of the permanent
forms in 1947. You convert to ordi-
nary life. You pay premiums on
time for 10 years, and your 1nsur-
ance is in good standing.
In 1857 you decide you don't need
any more insurance, that your
financial position is such that you
are going to cancel your NSLL. Can
you do that? Sure. You can can
eel it and get the "cash surrender
value" from the Veterans Admin
istration. No more insurance
You've cashed it in.
Or, you can buy a paid-up policy
with the cash value which your in
surance has created over the 10
years it's been in force.
Paid-Up Policy.
You can quit paying premiums
and the VA will give you a certif1-
cate showing that you own a paid
up policy. No more premiums, but
you still have some protection. How
much protection?
In 1947, at the age of Is, a veteran
converts his $4,000 term" policy to
ordinary life. After 10 years the
cash value of that insurance will be
s9s9.4O. Then some one leaves him
money. He decides he doesn't need
the protection he's been getting
from his life insurance. He wants
to buy a paid-up policy with the
cash value of his ordinary life pol
Icy. The cash value equals $989.40
with that money, which is legally
his, he can buy paid-up policy
worth $2,356. In other words, when
he dies his beneficiary will get
$2,356, and he is through with pay
ing premiums.

bulbs make q great deal OF their
root growth with the Thermometer
reading below 40 degrees. As the
tops begin to grow they can be given
more light but the temperature
should not be increased above 65 de-
grees if stocky growth is desired.
watering should begin as soon
as the pots are brought indoors. The
frequency and the amount will de-
pend upon the humidity Of the
house. Overwatering Is just as det-
rimental to good growth as insufn-
cient moisture.
The single and double early
Towering tulips are preferred BY
some for potting as they come into
flower a week or more before the
Darwins. The Roman hyacinths, II
available, are used for this purpose
rather than the heavy headed
Dutch hyacinths.
Sometimes, in dry atmosphere
the hyacinths make a very short
stubby growth with the blossoms
barely above the soil. This may be
prevented by covering the growing
leaves with a paper cone that Is
open at the top.
May Require Supports.
Both tulips and hyacinths may
need stalking to support the flowers
for they are a bit soft and weak
when grown under warm, indoor
conditions. Few modern homes have
rooms that are kept cool enough to
approximate growing conditions.
However, since these bulbs will grow
and flower with little care where
the temperature is near so degrees
the chore of stalking is not serious
drawback.
After the bulbs are through flow-
ering it is we'll to keep them grow
ing as we'll as conditions will per-
NIT until the pots can be set in the
garden. Even though it is still on
the frosty side, the transition Ii
slowly made, should not injure the
growing plants The best way to
harden them off may be by placing
them in the garage or the sun porch
for a few days, then in a protected
window we'll or even on the window
ledge. Anything to harden the
plants.
Some will say the cost of the
bulbs is so little that the extra
bother is not worth the saving.

Artificial Breeding
ToStrengthenDairy
Herds in Culpeper

An artificial dissemination station,
which its directors believe will be-
come the largest in Virginia, will be
established in Culpeper for dairy
breeding some time late this month,
it was disclosed last week.
known as the Culpeper Dairy
Artificial Breeders Association. 1t
will be established with headquarters
at the former v. I. Saunders farm,
on route 20, mile south of Culpeper.
According to James Coffey, Cul-
peper County agent, owners of more
than 1900 cows have already signed
up with the cooperative enterprise.
Culpeper. one of the largest and
richest dairying counties in the
State, has q total herd Of about
5000 cows.
Each farmer who joins pays IS
for a life membership in the as
ISOLATION, plus S. for each cow he
registers and a SIS breeding fee
Currently" Mr. Coffey explained,
"a farmer can pay almost any price
to have his cow serviced by q good
bull. With artificial dissemination a
farmer pays IS assured of proven
strains OF good milk producing
cattle"
The association has already leased
one Holstein bull from the Agricul-
ture Experimental Station at Belts
vile and has bought one Guernsey
bull from a breeding station in
Charlottesville.
The operator in charge OF insemi-
nation will be H. r. Hawkins, form
er head herdsman at v. P. I. He is
leaving this week to take a special
course at Cornell University and at
Rutgers. He will return near the
end Of the month and 1t is expected
that the project actually will get
under way. the early part of Decem-
Der.
The association is headed by J. c.
Eller, Culpeper County agent for 16
years. Already it has started reno
vation of the barn on the Saunders
property and preparation of offices
and bull pens.
1t will not be necessary for farm
ers to bring their COWS to the farm.

! Here's what actually. happens to
his policy when he turns it in:
It's worth $989 940 in cash. When
he buys the paid-up policy, he is
really giving that $98940 to the
Veterans Administration. It's his.
but he's going to leave it with the
VA (or Uncle Sam, it's all the same)
| So that money will draw interest.
The interest is applied to the policy
his paid-up policy. So paid-up in
surance is nothing more than the
cash value of any policy (any con-
verted policy, because term" insur-
ance has no cash value) plus antici-
pated earnings from that cash value.
There's something else he can do
with his insurance. It's called "ex-
tended insurance" It's different
from paid-up insurance. Extended
insurance could come in handy to
some veterans.
