Farm income is also at a peak,
and farmers have adequate resources
to purchase new equipment. 1t may
therefore be expected that the de-
mand of American farmers for new
machinery will remain high.
Nevertheless, the expected vol
ume of production appears to be
adequate to meet this demand and
to supply exports in the volume in

MEAT RATIoNING
The proposal to set up ma
chinerY to re-establish meat ra-
tioning-but without price con-
trol provisions-is cutting across
party lines for its supporters
and dissenters.
Introduced by two eastern repub-
licans-Sen. Ralph E. Flanders of
Vermont, and Rep. Jacob K. Javits
of New York city-the measure is
picking up followers from both Re-
publican and Democratic members
of congress.
Likewise, it is winning opponents
from both parties.
There is one thing that proponents
and opponents agree upon to some
extent. That is that meat r~ationing
will bring back the black market in
food.
Supporters contend, however, that
while meat rationing would make
black marketing inevitable, it would
not be so nearly serious as it was
during OPA. They point out that
only one product would be rationed,
as compared to many under OPA.
Because of this, they say policing
machinery would be more effective.
Under terms of the Flanders-Ja-
Wits bill, President Truman would
be authorized to submit a detailed
meat rationing program to congress.
1t would go into effect automatically
unless disapproved by both the sen
ate and house within 80 days.
WOULD CUT USDA BUDGET
Two congressional budget
slashers-Rep. John Taber of
New York. and Rep. Everett
Dirkssen of Illinois-have their
knives ready to slice off a few
millions from the nearly bill
ion-dollar u. S. department of
agriculture budget President
Truman proposed to congress.
These congressman, the first chair
man of the house appropriations
committee and the second chairman
of the agricultural appropriations
subcommittee, usually see eye to
eye on USDA appropriations and
they are chiefly responsible for the
departments reduced 1913 appro-
priation.
Vulnerable spots in the budget
are the $500, 100000 requested for
1949 soil conservation payments,
double the 1913 amount, and the
proposed loan authorization of $780,
100000 for the rural identification
administration, up from this years
1928, 900 1000.

OF HOGS BIRTH
MAY INCREASE WEIGHT

LINCOLN, Nebr. (AP)-A pro-
ject to solve one mystery about
food for pigs has uncovered an
othef-a diet that makes the fu-
ture pork chops grow amazingly
fast. One or both of the puzzles,
when solved, may affect the price
of pork.
DR.. Lester E. Hanson of the
University of Nebraska Expert
mcnt Station is trying to deter
mine whether sows need vitamin
E, the so-called anti-sterility
vitamin. in order to reproduce.
He is feeding pigs on a special
diet designed to be deficient in
vitamin E. And the new mystery
is that the special diet makes
pigs grow phenomenally.
Gain al Pounds Weekly
On it, pigs gained 81 pounds
a week, on the average. On the
natural diet the gain runs about
10 pounds a week. The special
food is made of corn starch. ca
sein, a complex mineral mixture,
and brewers yeast. with addi-
tional vitamin A and d given
every two weeks. Something in
this food is responsible for the
rapid weight gain, but no one
yet knows what it might be. 1t
might be some vitamin or other
foodstuffs.
This diet is much too expensive
to feed pigs on the farm. And
it might have drawbacks, such
as making too much fat. But the
growth factor might be isolated

~YUGOSLAVS
MUST STAY IN COUNTRY

GELGRADE (AP)-Hundreds
of Yugoslavs who have returned
here from Canada and Australia
have had their passports from
those countries confiscated and
according to Yugoslav law can
have no further recourse to the
services of representatives of
those countries. Since it is al
most impossible for an ordinary
citizen to procure a Yugoslav
passport that means these repat-
rates must stay here whether
they want to or not.
"A number of these people came
with the idea of seeing their
homeland again. perhaps visiting
relatives for awhile, and then re
turning to their adopted lands.
They, of course, have been unable
tod do &c. But they have been
settled here and biven good jobs,
often as t~echnicians.
Many, of course returned vol

very well. But there are some
who are dissatisfied. They have

consulates to absolutely no avail.

tees.
Maybe your neighbor would
like to be a Pasture club mem
Der, too. Ask him and tell him
to give his name to the county
agent if he needs help in estab-
fishing or maintaining his pas
ture.
Spring Summer Grazing
June is the end of the spring
grazing season and the beginning
of summer grazing.
White Dutch and other clovers
should be clipped. Drag the area
with a spike tooth harrow to
scatter manure. Let the pasture
rest for two or three weeks to
give Dallis grass a change to
grow back.
Dallis grass will furnish best
summer grazing if properly man.
aged. Rest and alternate graz
ing is the answer to good sum-
mer Dallis grass. Divide your
pasture into two areas by per-
manent or electric fence so you
can alternate grazing.
Benefits From Moving Pastures
l. Moving removes weeds and
bushes which use sunlight and
moisture needed by grasses and
clovers.
2. 1t keeps grass growing and
retards seeding. Plants stop
growing when seeding.
3. Grass blades grow from the
base next to the ground instead OF
the tip, so moving does not stop
growth, but encourages it.
A. Plants r weakest during the
time they are blooming. Now &c
keep weeds down and keep pas.
ture grasses growing instead Of
blooming.
5. Moving in June for 2 years
kills 81 percent of the brush ano
increases the grass 70 percent. II
pays to NOW pastures early ano
often.
g.. Grass with quality can be
stacked for winter feed for beef
herds.
Pasture Fertilizers
The four plant foods for pas
lures are phosphate, lime, potash
and nitrate. Basic Stag may be
used in place of phosphate anc
lime. The supply of lime is gooe
and that of phosphate is fair. Ba.
sic Stag can be brought now. Nj
trates are scarce. Mixed fertilizer
can be used in place of some o
the mineral needs.
1t will pay you to get needed
fertilizers and minerals on hanc
early for fall pastures. The best
system IS to mineralize about
a fourth of your pasture area
each year. Some of the best pas.
lures in Mississippi are fertil-
lied with 500 pounls of 6-8-8 OF
5-10-5 mixed fertilizer.
Buy an average for each acre tc

Two tons of lime or calcium
silicate Stag, 500 pounds of 20
percent phosphate, or 1000 pounds

nitrate for oats and rye grass.
