CONSERVATION
 NOTES
BY LEW RANKS

Fms may be & pooT time fo write about pasture seeding and grazing There's ssiil a couple 4 teet of snow on Inc fields A, least there is on the protected
 mes The ground silll has the con aktency of concrete One of these months though. thc grass W4ll start pceping through That can't happen any too soon to suit me -ne and al the dairy farmers in the Valley.
 Well May IS V3ll come some. day. and while we're waiting for May IS and green grass w-e can start figuring en Ahsi ta dn about it when if comes.
 The answer ls plenty Proper management of our ErssSlands can quadruple the amount of grazing in the Valley. I've got figures to prove it. The average pasture requires about two acres per COW 10 furnish feed during four month grazing season.
 Do your pastures produce any more? l have figures that show plots producing the equivalent of our tons of dry feed per acre. That's equal to 8 COW months of pasture.
 You've got 10 spend money to ge; that kind of production. Out side of that there are only three things to Pasture Management. They are fertilization, rotation grazing and moving to control weeds. On fertilization follow Dr. Allan Mick's bulletin from the Experiment Station. You cant go wrong. On rotation grazing figure on doing some cross fencing. Grazing units should be small. Fields should be small enough to graze off in less than week. On moving to control weeds it's simple-just do it when the weeds need it.

United States and the United

studied and carefully executed
plan to keep the world at peace.

A Little Boy
named Monroe
By ALN1RA PARK

Continuation and repetition Of
chapter / by request)
This is the story of a little
brown boy who was born in Ohio
on his grandmother's farm, SON
of a First Lieutenant in the Civil
War who, at its close established
a home in Boston, where he was
mustered out, and to which he
had brought his Ohio bride, Lil-
lian Virginia Isaacs.
The little boy stayed on the
farm for several months till he
waxed strong. (He was a puny
lad and his parents who had lost
their first and second sons feared
that he also might not survive)
In Boston he lived for several
years till the approaching advent
of his sister hurried the family
to Hyde Park, Mass, a little town
of 10000 inhabitants, ten miles
from Boston. Here they found .
charming little three room apart
ment Ia part of the home of
the Andrews family consisting
of living room, bedroom and
kitchen-rent $40 month. (This
was in the 70's).
The little girl came in October
and the father named her Maude
after Tennyson's poem, MAUD
Mule" poem that was all the
rage of the literary folk Of that
day, ("Maud Muller on a sum-
mer's day." etc.,. The father was
writer, a poet, and a musician.
The little girl who remained her
fathers favorite Of all his three
children, was by her relatives
nicknamed MAUD Muller, Null
Ter" and 'Mullerine"

) public schools and at once ex-
celIed his classmates in scholar
ship and in physical prowess in
the schoolyard where fights were
the order of the day at recess
time and after school. The little
lad took over all corners, even
those a head or so taller, Che
was still a slender lad)' and
emerged always the victor. He
did not know that his father told
him he must excel, because he
was a colored boy. At that time
he knew nothing of color. In
that town there were only two
or three colored families but the
father told him that If he ever
came home having suffered a
whipping by another boy he
would get another whipping. So
with that spur he excelied in all
fights and also in scholarship
maintaining 100 per cent in all
studies through Grammar School
(where he was valedictorian at
praduation) and in High School
where again he had the honor
of saying farewell to his school
