Forage Cover VS..
Blood Level

CAN PHOSPHORUS AND vita
min deficiencies be predicted from
range forage conditions and cover?
Officials at the U. S. range sta
ton near Miles City were asked that
question and are at present trying
to find the answer. To do this they
are analyzing grass, sage and other
forage plants from dryland ranges
and soil on which it is grown. Then
they are taking blood samples from
the cows running on these ranges.
From these blood samples an analy-
sis for calcium, phosphorus, mag
nesium, carotin and vitamin A is
made
The answers may tend to show
which of the different plants making
up the forage cover furnishes the
necessary food elements and vita
minis and in what quantities. To date
no conclusions have been drawn as
the tests are on preliminary stages
only.
The tests are being carried on in
cooperation with the Montana vet
Urinary research laboratory at Boze-
man.

Masters said, the phosphate applica-
tons increased the hay production
by rs percent.
But aside from the increase in hay
production, he thinks his meadows
will last longer. Thus far, they are
producing more hay each year in
stead of the usual downhill records.
This should make much less farm
ing necessary as far as re-seeding is
concerned. About $50 tons of hay
were put up last summer and the
meadows were used as winter pas
ture from October through the win
ter.
Five Irrigations
The meadows were irrigated five
times last summer, but usually three
irrigations will do the job. The fifth
irrigation was given this fall after
the hay was off. Cost of the phos-

plentiful haystacks always looked

cred a phosphate deficiency in
growing beets on some of the land
several years ago and decided to
see what the fertilizer would do for
the hay.
The ranch includes 1000 acres of
rangeland with a mountain grazing
permit for ABS head of cattle and
$50 acres of irrigated hay meadows.
Calves from the $50 head of breed
ing cows are run until they are
yearlings. There are also SO acres
of grain grown for calf feeding and
some 200 acres of crested wheatgrass.
About $50 pounds of seed per acre
are obtained each year from an g.

tiers plans to seed another 400 acres
of rangeland with crested wheat
grass in the future.
Hay Mixture
The hay is mixture of red clover,
alfalfa, bronze and timothy and Mas
tiers says it is the best mixture he
has found. The red clover and al

Williams Discusses Good Plays
Pitcher Often Takes Big Role
In Double Plays, Ted Points Out

these players usually get applauded
for. their efforts. At least they re-
ceive credit for their efficiency.
The poor pitcher, who really made
the play possible. is often ignored
entirely.
Actually. none of these premedi-
tated double plays could be exc
cuted if the pitcher didn't do his
all-important part. With some Of
chem, it isn't a difficult assign
ment. Due to the fact that they
possess either a natural sinker or
an excellent curve which they can
break low around the knees of the
batter, some pitchers can force
batters to hit the ball on the
ground more often than not.
But with other pitchers, the task
on forcing ground ball isn't so
easy. 1t requires a different style
Of pitch from their normal serve.
Yet I've seen even such pitchers
change their normal tactics in a
crucial spot and force the batter
to hit the desired grounder.
1nf1elders sometimes get their
names in the record books for the
number Of times they participate
in double plays. Yet, without the
cooperation they get from their
pitchers, they couldn't have
achieved such fame.

Forty-seven Middle Atlantic
golf professionals turned out for
the first pro-amateur on Mon
day and Charley Bassler, the
big-hitter from Rolling Road,
beat the field by two strokes with
the only subpar round of the
day-a SO.
That's just like last year.
Bassler won more pro sweeps
than any other player, won the
Baltimore Open, was second in
the Maryland and they're still
talking about his phenomenal
1886 that captured the District
Open at Indian Spring.
But each time he. moved up
into faster company last year,
Bassler was disappointing. In the
Washington Star Open he skied
to a miserable 79 in the last
round and finished out Of the
money, after being in line for
$1,000 prize if he held his posi-
ton after three rounds.
On the winter tour, the former
Chevy Chase assistant quit mid
way after a series of high-70
rounds, pickups and play that
was rank amateurish. Pros who
wanted him here last year and
then watched him in faster COM
pany couldn't understand it.
Charley didn't dodge the ques-
ton when asked Monday follow
ing his SO over his home course.
II tighten up in those big tour
naments, that's all there is to it.
My arms lock on me and I can't
get the ball off the tee. Then
some of those top players start
giving me advice, I get all mixed
up and can't hit my hat"
But Bassler. who says he
swings free and easy around his
home town. claims his tighten
ing days on the major circuit
are about over. I'm getting
out of it a little more all the
time" he said. '1t's confidence
and experience, that's all, and
I'm getting it fast. When stop

Dave B. Weisiger, a normal
high-90 shooter at Washington
Golf and Country Club, shot an
83 the other day, and although
1t was the best round of golf
of his life, it was a mighty poor
investment.
Dave figures he'll never get
anywhere playing with golfers
in his own class so he picks on

four or five up a nine.
