Crop Rotation

Crop rotation with deep-rooted

agement methods are the gas, oil
and lubricants" that keep your
soils crop producing machine 60
ing on high.
Each of these has a job to do.
Each needs help from the others.
They all have to work like a team.
Valuable as good rotation is in
balancing soil building legume
crops against soil-robbing row
crops, it has to be backed up by
wise land manageme& methods.
Cropping in even the best rotation
drains the soils supply of phos-
phate and potash.
And even if your good manage
ment program puts back every
scrap of barnyard manure, plows
under the legumes and returns
straw, corn stalks and crop after
math to the soil, you still ship away
hundreds of pounds of plant food
in the grain, beef and milk you
sell every year.

This little fellow, obviously
80 well-started in life, Is SYM
bolical Of what good pasturage
can mean to cattle and just
how much cattle depend on
grass. In the United States
there are approximately 779
million acres of land which can
not grow anything but hay,
grass and other heritage.
Of the total feeds consumed by
beef cattle 1877 per cent is grass,
hay and dry roughage. A minimum
of grain is needed to bring feeder
steers from 700 pounds to 1000
pounds when the principal part OF
the ration is made up of hay, en-
silage or other roughage.
The process of producing beef
cattle normally involves the fol-
lowing steps:
l. The purebred operator who
produces the sires and females
which are the foundation of beef
animal production. This branch of
the cattle industry is one that re-
quires heavy investment and eff
cheney in management.
2. The commercial breeder who
produces the calves which are the
offspring of commercial herds OF
female and purebred sires.
3. The pasture cattleman who
grows the animal from the wean-
ing or yearling stage to two years
old, taking his profit from the
poundage gained on grass and hay.
4. The feeder who finishes" the
animal from grass stage to slaugh-
ter condition, disposing OF a large
percentage Of roughage.

Good Pasture Increases
Dairy Herd Production

With 2.5 million fewer cows O
farms now than in l945, possibilities
for profit in dairying are greater
if labor-saving, high value pasture
is the center of the production pro-
gram. Good pasture can increase
milk output and cut production
costs. That means a bigger profit
margin. Getting bigger pasture
yields is matter of feeding the
soil plant nutrients so it can feed

The young couple smiled politely
but with a lack of enthusiasm.
Neither Of them felt equal to the
task Of getting up and following on
young Arthur Forbes heels.
The dining salon was located be-
meath the forward deck; Mr.. ellis
table was at the extreme end, near
that section where the vessels bow
began to narrow. He had hardly
seated himself when he saw that
young Arthur Forbes was placed
two tables away and slightly be-
hind. There was plate of food on
the table before the youth, but it
was untouched. Like one in a trance
Mr.. Forbes was sitting with eyes
widened greatly beyond their
normal size, checks as pale as
death.
After a time Mr.. Gill saw
that the youth at the other
table was staring toward a
portfolio, and his grin broad
ened. The portfolio was To-
Gated far forward, and with
each dip Of the vessel one could
see the entire slope of a wave,
from trough to crest. Then for
space there would be nothing
but open sky. 1t provided a
sensation similar to riding on
a roller coaster.
Mr.. Gill knew that as long as
young Forbes continued to stare
through the portfolio his seasick-
ness would steadily grow. worse.
And he chuckled at the thought.
After while Mr.. Gill found it
was easier to stare straight ahead
than to sit half-turned in his chair
in order to watch young Forbes,
who, after all, wasn't the most
pleasing sight in the world. And in
staring straight ahead Mr.. Gill
found that he was looking directly
through the portfolio at the swish
ing seas.
