Triple Threat Dairy Farm
Connors' Purchase Of DoiryIou Herd Rates
Him Top Breeder in Southeast

The purchase Of the entire
Milking Shorthorn. or Durham,
herd from Dairylou Farms in
Fairfax County was announced
yesterday by Phil Connors of
Mountville. In the Middleburg sec
ton Of Loudoun County.
The acquisition Of the Dairylou
herd. one of the most outstanding
herds in the United States, makes
Mr.. Connors the largest Durham
breeder in the Southeast, and one
of the top breeders of Durham cat
tie in the Nation.
The Durhams are dual purpose
cattle, producing both milk and
beef. The breed, an offshoot of
Shorthorn beef cattle, originated
in England, and the first animals
are thought to have been brought
to Maryland early in the history
Of this country.
The Dairylou herd was as
sembled by A. II. Harrison g. Sons
of Herndon. Va, and was pur-
chased, along with the Harrison
farm, about seven years ago by
Leigh Lawrence, Washington pro-
duce dealer. It's consistently
high milk and butterfat produc-
ton has made it an outstanding

stock has been sold in all sections
OF the country.

made. Mr.. Connors said, 20 out of
"a COWS then in milk produced

Notes
BY Don Henderson

OF total leeds consumed by beef
cattle In this country. 1877 per
cent is in grass. hay and dry
roughage.
Now little grain Is needed when
steers of TOO to 1000 pounds have
access to grass, hay. ensilage or
other roughage. America is able
to produce meat at far lower cost
than Is Europe. for instance, due
to the greater consumption of
grass in its various forms. In
our areas of smaller acreage we
find recordings of one animal to
the acre. and sometimes better.
This brings high priced land with
in the sound practice category of
those who wish to raise beef,
either by breeding or feeding
started steers.
Erosion control and such things
make even the ranges carry more
stock than was before possible.
It is interesting to know that
back in 1865 the use of English
grasses was recorded on Rhode
Island. In 17o0. the popular tim
othy first attracted attention. Dis
covered by John Herd in New
Hampshire 1t spread through New
England and was known as Herds
grass. In time one Timothy Han
son carried seed from New York
to the Carolinas, about 1720. So
1t is now called timothy and may
be considered one of the great
economical grasses of today.
New Jersey and Massachusetts,
were the pioneers in pasture re-
search. During the past few years
the introduction of Ladino clover,
bronze grass and orchid grass have
stimulated interest in research.
Today this sudden growth of that
phase Of feed production may be
considered the crux to the profit
or loss end Of feeding both for
the hook or for further breeding
of beef.
Machine handling has cut the
cost Of producing grasses in feed
form. More and more farmers
plan a minimum of corn produc-
ton. relying on adequate grasses
to finish off on, with O small
supplemental concentrate.
Rolling country which drains
well may always be classed as
good for grazing, provided it is
well fed to build up its fertility.
Animals may be allowed on 1t at
any season and will not be found
to wallow round In mud, which is
bound to be the case in the level,
poorly drained areas or bottom
lands. Think first in terms of
grasses therefore. you beef men.
We have gone long way in
about $50 years, when Columbus,
on his second voyage, brought over
cattle. Our first real importation
was to jamestown In 1911, though
there had been some brought over
In 1885 and the Norsemen who
landed in what is now Massa-
chusetts In 1905 are credited with
bringing cattle. Now our obiec-

This Week in the Garden

Pruning Jobs are still being de-
layed by moderate temperatures
that continue to prevail. How
ever, there Is bound to be a period
in February when the tempera-
lures will be low enough to keep
the sap in the roots and oppor-
tunity will be given to remove
dead stubs and low-hanging limbs
and to shorten those that need to
be cut off. Don't forget to paint
the cuts with tree-dressing or
some other sealer.
Fruit trees will need careful at
tention to avoid weak forks and
to remove branches that clog the
center of the tree. Most fruit
trees are pruned to vase" form
so that sunlight can penetrate to
the center of the tree. A few
will Use the modified central
leader" type of pruning. although
1t is better to keep them low
headed TO permit easy pruning,
spraying and harvesting.
Grape vines will need to have
the long branches shortened so
as to reduce the number of flower
ing-buds to load which the vine
can carry. Normally, this means
80 or 40 buds and all others should
be removed at the time of spring
pruning, but If the gardener has
trained his vine over a pergola he
must be content with the removal
Of all weak canes. For help on
pruning, try to attend spring
pruning demonstration as given
by one of the garden clubs.
While the mild winter weather
continues 1t is wise to keep spad-
ing in the garden, turning under
grass, weeds and trash to improve
the texture of the soil. 1t will be
ready for planting in the spring

than spring spading. This is very

crops such as peas, radishes, cab
bage and broccoli.
Before spading the soil it is wise
to spread super phosphate Cor
bone meaD at the rate Of 2 or 8
pounds per 100 square feet, In
spading this is mixed with the
soil much better than through
surface applications. According
to the soil scientists, phosphate
does not move through the soil
and we should take this measure
to insure Its availability to the
plants.
Those who have used dormant
sprays for years are we'll satisfied
with their Importance to the health
Of woody plants and the control
Of scale insects. Apply dormant
sprays In the winter or early

open, on sunny days when the
temperatures are above freezing

least "A hours.
Still time to SOW the seeds of
hardy annuals-larkspur. ragged
robin, annual poppies, portulaca,
etc. II the soil is too wet to cover
the seed by raking, 1t may be
covered with sand or compost.
The main point Is to SOW the seed
as soon as possible to get best
results.
Orders for seeds, bulbs, shrubs,
roses, ETC.. should be sent off now,
requesting delivery not later than
March 20. Bundled plants or
roots may have to be held for a
few days in case Of bad weather,
but for spring planting they should
be on hand, ready to 60 into the
ground, as early as possible. Ever
green's. both rlarrow-leayed and
broad-leaved, should be planted
at that season If they are to be-
come well established before >hot

with which it is handled. Dirt
