Winter GrazineI
Profits Shown

STATE COLLEGE, Miss. - The
profit from winter grazing of both
beef and dairy animals is shown
N series of on-the-f farm expert
ments reported by John 3. Gill,
associate agronomist of the South
Mississippi Branch Experiment Sta
ton at Poplarville.
The experiments were conducted
under Mr. GilIs supervision on
five farms of South Mississippi
and compared results from oats
winter grazing plus little or nc
feed with full feeding or CONNER
cial feeds with no grazing. Good
returns were had from winter graz
ing in every instance, while re-

turns from animals not receiving
winter grazing ranged from scant
profits to considerable loss.
On the farm of Mr.. Jim Dale,
of Virgins, for example, five cows
receiving winter grazing with a
small amount of feed returned a
profit of S239.30 on milk sales after
costs Of feed, seed, and fertilizers
were deducted Cows receiving a
ration of commercial dairy feed
and no grazing gave returns of
$136.51.
Mr.. Wilmer Walker, also near
Virgins, secured returns above
costs of $276.50 on four cows on
winter grazing. The third lot re-
ceiving commercial dairy feed but
no winter grass returned 5000
above costs.
Using beef steers, Mr.. w. D. Vo-
gel of Harleston, grazed 10 animals
on winter crops which gained la
pounds per day and returned above
| costs S1S7.58. Ten other steers fed
commercial feeds without Winter
grazing incurred loss. of $137.79
1 On the farm of w. j. Easterling
! of Richton, steers on winter grazing
returned, above costs $306.53, while
steers given a minimum ration for
wintering with no grazing gave re-
turns of 5000. Mr.. Easterling stop
ped grazing on February % and
harvested 200 bushels Of oats from
the 81-acre plot
On the farm of Mr. Thad L.
Fowler, of Purvis, beef heifers
| gained at the rate of las pounds
per head per day on winter graz
/, ing, while similar lot of heifers
averaged LOS pounds per day on
full feed without grazing.
Mr.. Gill recommends that for
winter grazing, oats be planted in
South Mississippi from September
lis and crimson clover October
lis. and that so to 60 pounds of
nitrogen per acre be applied at
seeding time.

leave it to the Government to come
through at last, to do the decent
thing, to stand four-square and solid.
Just when the more skeptical of the
veterans were beginning to lose a
touch of faith, the Government
made them ashamed of wavering.
The Veterans Administration
without any fanfare, announced that
any veteran who had lost his hair
because Of war service would be
treated to wig. From the Newark,
N. j., office came a story that the
purchase by veteran of a toupee
had been officially approved. The
papers bore the Great Seal of the
United States. From now On, a vet
eran may not have a roof over his
head, but he can keep nice and warm
with a Government-given toupee.
Tries Different Colors.
I was so tickled when I read about
this that I haven't done anything
since except try on different colored
hair to find out which shade is the
most becoming. Our house Is just a
mess Of switches, rats, and transfor-
nations, which I borrowed from
every one in the neighborhood. Do
you know, I still can't make up my
mind.
There is a tightly marceled black
number that looks awful good on me
when I tilt it a bit to the left. Then
there is a straight blond Job that

When the Veterans Administra-
tion saw fit to equip hairless CT
Joes with wigs, it not only did very
humanitarian thing, but it took a
step toward removing the stigma
which has always gone with wig
wearing.
Every One Smokers at Wigs.
If you can't see too well, you wear
glasses. If you can't hear very well,
you get yourself wired for sound.
II you are too short, you get shoes
with George Raft heels. If an old
football knee bothers you, you walk
with a cane. No one points out
man with glasses on, or man with
cane, and says, Look, that man
is wearing glasses and is using
cane" But let man with a wig
come by, and everybody nudges
everybody else and says, "Oh, look,
that man has a wig" Then every
body smokers appreciatively.
can't wait until all of us veterans
get wigs, because it will put an end
to this foolishness. You put II ,000,-
900 men in wigs and people are going
to get tired of nudging one another.

doesn't get just what the wig SER
geant hands out to him. hope we
veterans are allowed little choice
in regard to color, part, and style.
Personally, I want wig with a visor
on it, just like cap, so I can take it
off when it gets hot, tip it to ladies,
and finger it nervously when en-
barrassed.
Come to think of it, what really
want is a blue serge wig with no

the Senate by Senator Moore of
Oklahoma, Senator Knowland of
California, and, of course, by Sena-
tor McCarran of Nevada. Similar
bills have been introduced in the
House by Representatives Hinshaw
of California and Herbert of
Louisiana.
In composite, these constitute the
same bill that was passed during the
last session and properly vetoed by
President Truman. Their purpose is
to give to the State of California the
rich oil lands that lie off the shore
of that State. Title to this land is
claimed by the United States.
A suit to determine whether the
United States has title to these lands
is now pending before the Supreme
Court and will soon be heard. But
there will not be anything for the
court to pass upon If any Of these
grab bills should become the law.
In that event, this oil will be lost
to the people of the United States.

it to be taken out of the ground in
the wilfully wasteful manner in
which any oil company may operate
in that State. It should be remem-
bered that California has no petrol
cum conservation law.
Demand at Peak Again.
In order to win the last war,
each car owner was allowed only
limited amount of gasoline and
he was supposed to drive not in
excess of IS miles an hour. Now, if
any one liked these restrictions, he
neglected to write me to that effect.
In typical American fashion, we
seem to believe that rationing can
never happen again. But it can,
and it will unless we conserve our
own resources and work out a COM
mon sense international oil policy.
Toward the end of the last war;
we were producing crude oil at the
rate of something less than 5000, 900
barrels a day. This was our maxi
mum efficient productive capacity.
To have produced more, even If 1t
had been available, would have been
reckless and ultimately wasteful.
The experts thought that, at the
end of the war, the demand would
fall off. It did very slightly. but
it is up to our maximum capacity
again. To make matters worse, the
military experts estimate that, in
the event of another war, we will
need to produce crude oil at the
rate of 100000 barrels a day.
We just do not have any such
quantity of oil, and the chances
are that we will need more rather
than less than 100000 barrels a
day, and where would we get such
an enormous amount? Our known
reserves are steadily diminishing,
and not enough new oil is being
discovered to hold our reserves on
an even keel, although more ex-
ploratory wells than ever before in
our history are being put down in
all parts of the country.
We Could Not Import Oil.
One thing is certain, and that is
we will not be able to bring oil in
from foreign oil-producing coun-
tries, because by that time improved
airplanes will assure that, only by
the rarest of luck, would even an
occasional tanker ever reach port.
But aside from any consideration
of another war, we are close to the
point now when demands for crude

miraculous new discovery.
Perhaps the five gentlemen named
above will be good enough to justify
their oil-grab bills. They might

and other petroleum products, just
where they will be able to get
gasoline to run their automobiles,

If His Excellency" Edwin w.
Pauley, and other California oil
operators are to be permitted to
waste, or even to use, oil that
should be conserved for the benefit
