Early Harvested
Hay Superior
Contends Slaugh

The following was contributed
by K. G. Slaugh, Extension Ser
vice agent:
Hay harvesting time is here
again and from observations
made on recent trips to all sec
lions of the reservation, it ap-
pears that our hay crop is the
best that we have had in years.
Our spring was late, but with
plenty of moisture. Some of the
operators have found it neces-
sary to irrigate even their alfalfa
fields.
During these trips l have
found a wide difference of opin-
ion as to the proper time for har-
vesting hay. Some maintain that
harvesting should be done late so
that maximum amount may be
obtained. This group feel that
mature hay is strong hay"
Others feel that the younger the
hay, the better the quality and
that the mature hay" theory
has been thoroughly disproven.
| Let's study a few facts and
figures obtained from actual ex-
periments carried on in South
Dakota with the same types of
wild hay that we have. South
Dakota results showed that prair-
lie hay harvested July IL had far
more feed value than the same
type of hay harvested between
August 4 and September 20.
Calves which were fed on the
early hay with a grain supple
ment made an average daily gain
of .95 pounds, while the group of
calves fed on hay which was har-
vested later, or as we shall call.
medium hay. and on the same
grain supplement-, made an av-
erage daily gain Of SO pounds
per day.
Other calves fed on the late
harvested hay. with the same
grain supplement-, made a gain
of only .6S pounds per day.
To get h same amount of
food value necessary to make a
100 pound gain, we fine that 100
pounds of early cut hay was need
ed, where It was necessary to
use 112 pounds of the medium
late cut hay and 1873 pounds of
the late cut hay.
In the experiment with gains
made by cows. it showed that
where early cut hay was fed, the
cows made a gain of &c pounds
per day, but for the cows fed
with the medium late hay, the
per day gain was only Is POUNDS.
One of the most important ways
of measuring the food value of
hay is by measuring the protein
content. South Dakota found that
their early cut hay contained
7.OS per cent of protein. Their
medium cut hay contained only
STA per cent. And the late har-
vested hay contained only All
per cent of protein.
! Another important way of
measuring t h value of hay is
to determine the digestibility Of
a protein in the hay. In other
words, the amount of the protein
that the cow is actually able tt
digest. In the experiments re-
z ferred to above. it was founc
that in the early cut hay, there
I was 43.9 per cent of the proteir
r that was digestible. This per
centage rapidly declined for thu
different samples of hay that wa

VIM. Fleming
Drowned In
Alaskan Waters

I14OCAOll W OIC1 .
News of the death by drown
ing of William Fleming, former
Browning resident, was received
last week from Mt. Edgecumbe,
Alaska through Jimmie WEIGH,
who arrived from there for a visit
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. B. WEIGH of Seville.
WEIGH was informed of h e
tragedy while on his way here
from Seattle.
He said that the death message
was delivered to Fleming's widow
when she arrived at Seattle from
Mt. Edgecumbe last week. Both
she and WEIGH were passengers
aboard the s. S. North Star, ply
ing t h e Seattle Alaska route.
When t h e boat docked at the
Seattle pier, a member of the
Indian Service met her to break
the sad news.
Brief details of the tragedy, ac-
cording to WEIGH, were t h a t
Fleming was operating a motor
boat some distance from the
ocean shoreline off Mt. Edge
cumbe at the time. Members of
the Coast Guard observing a boat
unoccupied, went to the scene,
but found no trace of it's owner.
Later it was identified as Flem-
ing's property.
The presumption of tragedy,
WEIGH said, was based upon the
fact that the scene was too far
from the shoreline to yield the
theory that Fleming might have
swan ashore and his continued
disappearance made obvious the
certainty that he had persisted.
Fleming came to this section
from Colorado in 1941 as an In
dian liquor law enforcement
officer, with headquarters at the
Blackfeet Agency. As district
officer, he was on duty until his
resignation in 1912, when he en-
listed in the armed forces for
overseas duty in World War 2.
He served in special guard unit
in the European zone for two or
more years.
After his honorable discharge
from the armed forces at t h e
close of the war, he reentered the
Indian Service to resume duties
as a liquor law enforcement
officer, for a time being stationed
in Colorado. Being transferred to
Browning a few months later, he
was on duty as district officer for
approximately two years. In 1947
he resigned to become Blackfeet
Agency land Office director. re.
placing James Cross, who had
retired from the In d j a n
Service. Continuing in the Indian
Service, Fleming transferred tc
Mt. Edgecumbe few months
later, where he had since beer
on duty.
His widow is the former Miss
Bonnie Stribling, employed a:
stenographer at the Blackfee'
Indian Agency, her marriage tt
Fleming occurring after he hac
gone to Alaska.

Business Profits Up,
But Rise Is Reported
Due 10 Larger Firms
~ the AssoctoteS Prsss

The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported today q few large COM
panies accounted for the upswing
in corporate profits in early 1880
because they alone were able TO
cut costs.
In the June issue of its monthly
Bulletin. the board said smaller
concerns missed sharing in the
overall profits gain because they
have been somewhat less success
ful In their attempts to reduce
costs in the face of growing COM
petition"
Larger companies have realized
substantial operating economies
from extensive postwar additions
and improvements to plant and
equipment" it continued.
No General Rise Noted.
Hence, while corporate profits
for first quarter 1850 were larger
IN the aggregate than those of
fourth quarter l949. the increase
reflects the improved earnings of
a few large companies rather than
a general rise in the earnings of
all size classes of concerns"
The report was issued in tho
wake of a decision by the House
Ways and Means Committee to
propose a bill boosting income
taxes on concerns with profits
above $l67.000 a year. reducing
the rate on those with lesser net
earnings.
Ihe board saw "a continued rise
IN industrial production. accom-
panied by moderate increase in
prices" pointing to further ex-
panslon in business inventories
and in the volume of business
credit this year.
Store Sales Up.
The board also announced that
department store sales throughout
the Nation increased 6 per cent
during the week ended June II as
compared with the same week last
year.
1t was the best showing in
months. For the January l-June
II period sales this year have
averaged 2 per cent below l949
But a June upturn has been i'm
proving this years standing.
In the June II week. department

trict gained 4 per cent.
