Experiments Show Profit Of Winter
Grozing For Dairy And Beef Cattle

State College, Miss.-The prof
it from winter grazing of both
beef and dairy animals is shown
in a series of on-thefarm expert
ments reported by John B. Gill,
associate agronomist of the South
Mississippi Branch Experiment
Station at Poplarville.
The experiments were conduct
ed under Mr.. ellis supervision
on five farms of South Missis
sippi, and compared results from
oats winter grazing plus little or
no feed, with full feeding or
commercial feeds with no graz
ing. Good returns were had
from winter grazing in every
instance, while returns from ami
mails not receiving winter graz
ing 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 re-
turned a profit of $239.30 on milk
sales after costs of feed, seed, and
fertilizers were deducted. Cows
receiving a ration of CONNER
cial 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
$500 above costs.
Using beef steers, Mr. w. D.
Vogel of Harleston. grazed 10
animals on winter crops which
gained LA pounds per day and
returned above costs $l87.5 3 Ten
other steers fed commercial feeds
without winter grazing incurred
a loss of $751;. 79.
On the farm of w. j. Easter
ling of Richton, steers on winter
grazing returned above costs
$306.53, while steers given a
minimum ration for wintering
with no grazing gave returns of
$10.40. Mr.. Easterling stopped
grazing on February 20 and har-
vested 200 bushels of oats from
the 81 ere plot.
On the farm of MI. Thad l..
Fowler of Purvis, beef heifers
gained at the rate of Las pounds
per head per day on winter graz
ing, while a similar lot of heif-
ers averaged 1.95 pounds per day
on full feed without grazing.
Mr.. Gill recommends that for
winter grazing, oats be planted
in South Mississippi from Sep
TENDER lis and crimson clover
October LIS, and that so to so
pounds of nitrogen per cre be
applied at seeding time.
Complete information on the
winter grazing trials has been pub
lished as Circular 1874, a free copy
of which may be had by writing

GIVES LAW
ON YOUTH EMPLOYMENT

The Montana department of agri-
culture, labor and industry, has is
sued a bulletin, "Rules and Regula-
lions for the Employment of Minors"
of Importance to all employers, par
ticularly those who employ young
people during the vacation period or
after school hours. The bulletin is
being distributed by Montana en-
ployment offices, or may be obtained
by writing the Department of Agri-
culture, Labor and Industry, Division
of Labor, Helena, Mont.
The attention of employers is di-
rected to the requirement that for
each minor employed, the employer
must have on file an age certificate
(work permit) issued by the Division
of Labor, Helena, Mont. Failure to
have the certificate is a violation of
law even though the employment of
the minor would otherwise be legal.
E. C. Burris, speaking for the di-
vision of labor, states "that a num-
Der of injuries have occurred to
minors who have been illegally m
ployed, and as a result of these
injuries the division will find it-nec-
essary to take action against the
employer responsible.
Burris states further chat an in
crease Of 600 per cent in applications
for the employment of minors over
pre-war years indicate that a major
ity of employers are cooperating
with the division. However, there
are a number who either through
ignorance of the law or because of
indifference have failed to comply.
The procedure set up by the di-
vision with the approval of the
United States department of labor
is not so cumbersome as to require
a great amount of the employers
time in order to comply with the
law. All employers are covered in
some respect by the child labor
laws, whether they are large or
small, intrastate or interstate COM
merce, retail or wholesale. Employ
ers are invited to correspond with
the division of labor. We are here
in order to, advise the employer
against illegal employment and to
protect the interests of the minor"
The most important requirements
of the child labor laws are briefly:
Do not employ a minor at any oc-
cupation without first obtaining an
age certificate from the division of
labor. Do not offer employment to
a minor less than 16 years of age
when it is known that the occupa-
ton will require work around ma
chinery. Do not employ a minor
less than 10 years of age at extra
hazardous work local mining, eX-
plosives, ringers, certain occupations
in sawmills, etc. Do not employ a
minor less than 16 years of age dur
ing the hours that school is in ses-
sion without written permission from
the local school superintendent be-
cause an age certificate will not be
issued by the division of labor I'M
less proof is at hand that the minor
has completed the eighth grade.

WASHINGTON
HICHLICHTS
Special to Central Press

w dotiiAtS NC
partment officials are casting
cautious glances at the l947
potato crop, which may be a
bonanza like last years when
many millions of bushels were
DESTROYED to keep prices up.
Already a relatively small
amount of the l947 potato crop
has been destroyed in Alabama.
How much more of it will have
to be disposed of by the gov
eminent Is yet unknown-and
will remain unknown until the
northern states crop is harvest
ed.
Under a mandate of Con-
gress, the government is Fore
ed to pay subsidies to potato
growers when the market price
falls below parity. This cost
Uncle Sam a good bit of money
last wear and lost a lot of po-
tatoes from the bumper crop.
Now angry cries are heard in
Congress about the government
destroying potatoes from the
1947 crop. Most of the blasts
come from new congressman,
who-department officials saw
privately-do not know the law
about potatoes, or that Congress
ordered the subsidy.
The United States has tried
to give potatoes to the starv-
ing people abroad, but they
will not take them. Great Brit
ain. which has a terrific food
shortage, will not accept Unit
ed States potatoes, claiming
they have a disease which
would blight British spuds.
The situation: The govern
ment is spending the taxpay-
ers' money to keep the price
of potatoes UP so the taxpayers
will have to pay more for them.
Rosie and Winnie-Remem-
Der Rosie the Riveter and
Winnie the Welder? They are
back in peacetime jobs. they
have traded Stacks and over
alls for daintier attire. And
they like it,
The United States Women's
Bureau so states in a report
based on a spot survey design
ed to find out what happen
ed to the thousands of Rosies
and Winnies who lost their
wartime jobs after VI Day.
The Bureau found that at
Baltimore, a large industrial
city, two-thirds of women war
workers now have steady
~peacetime jobs.
The agency said that women
in factories have turned from
such rugged jobs as welding
and riveting to assembling,
testing, inspecting. and opera
ton of light machines. The re-
port observed:
Women like such work be-
cause 1t gives them an oppor-
tunity to use their natural dex-
terity, exercise responsibility.
and paw attention to minute
details"
However, war work had one
major effect on women in in
dustry. Before the war, more
than so per cent of factory
employed women worked in
garment or textile plants. Now
they prefer metal working as
signments.
