taste. The more important reason is
that barn-cured hay contains the pro.
tein they need and want in their
diet. If they don't get il in the hay
you have to provide it in other, more
expensive feeds.
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1947-04-28

According TO recent estimate made
by the Ohio State University Agri.
cultural Engineers, "barn-curing" bv
electric hay driers increases the palue
oi hay for feed as much as $500 per
ton. The Tennessee Experiment Sta.
non in the covering Of two periods Of
ieedings-averaging l57 days each
found that when heifers were fed hay
which was cured in the barn, they
averaged 26.3 pounds greater gain in
ghtthanheifers fed feld.curedhay.
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1947-04-28

cured hay is better. One is because
hay cured in the barn doesn't get too
much sunshine. Sunshine, of course,
is necessary to dry hay in the field,
but in doing this, hay frequently gets
too much sunshine, causing the leaves
TO fade, lose their color, dry up and
break off. The barn-cured way Of hay
drying, with motor-driven fan, cuts
the time when the hay is in the sun
from 20 hours to 5 or 6 hours.
Another reason barn-cured hay is
better is because il can be harvested
when il is exactly "right" /. at its
highest feed value, and then hauled
to the barn @wilted green," ready for
the controlled drying that produces
high-quality feed.
Too, cattle will pass up field.cured
hay for the more palatable barn.cured
hay every time. One reason is the

The pay boost offer was reported

Asked about such action, Philip

Iron Age also declared: "The
probability of a steel strike Is now

mite progress has been made in the

But sources close to the negoti-
ators said no meetings had been

The Iron Age report and Mr.. Muir

Any wage increase offer made by
Big Steel would have to be ap-

Press photographer, said the biggest
explosion set by man In European
territory had demolished the steel
and concrete submarine pens hut
had left the tiny island almost un-
changed.
The ruins of the little tdwn of
Helgoland, which the British All
Force razed during the war, hardly
looked the worse from that distance
A huge column of red stone rising
from the sea on the northern tip
of the island withstood the ex-
Iplosion apparently untouched.
Huge waves radiated from the is
land In circular pattern and the
sea took on tinge of reddish huh
over large area.
Destruction Criticized.
Burgomaster Karl divers said the
destruction had caused sorrow and
Indignation among the Germans o1
this city. He asserted that the Ger.
mans were saying the island ruins
would always remind the people OF
the destruction and would contrib.
ute to everlasting hatred.
| Despite a cold wind, the people
of Cuxhagen left their windows oper
so the panes would not be broker
by the expected force of the ex-
iplosion. Many residents left theil
dwellings. and authorities asked
persons living in houses weakened
by bombings to remain outdoors
until after the explosion.
Divers said that compared te
British air attacks on the islane
during the war, the demolition
blasts of today were mild.
