70 Attend SiIaqe
Me ct At Milford

over seventy farmers attended
tne grass silage meeting at Mil
lord Center according to the Aeri-
cultural Extension Office. This
meeting was sponsored to give the
farmers in Madison and Union
county an opportunity to discuss
the making and feeding of grass
sllage. DR.. c. F. Rogers, from the
ONO Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, at Wooster, was on hand to
talk over some of the common
problems in silage making.
Eight silage samples were tested
to find the amount of protein that
can be expected from feeding sill
age. An average of the results
showed that grass silage as fed,
contains about 49o crude protein.
On a dry basis this would be about
1870 crude protein. Most of these
samples contained a mixture of al
talfa and a grass. Also included in
some was ladino, sweet clover and
red clover. DR.. Rogers pointed out
that when making grass silage, it
is best to make it fairly early in
the season. For this part of Ohio
that means before the end of the
first week in June. Also when put
ting up this young crop it is i'm
portant to wilt the material to cut
down the amount of leakage of
water from the silo after it is fill
ed.
Ray Starbuck, Extension Dairy
Specialist, O,S.U., pointed out that
dairy COWS when fed good grass
silage and legume hay, require
grain concentrate that is lower in
protein than when the cows re-
ceive corn silage or no silage at
all.

Courts Opposed
By Press Society

COLUMBUS, 0. LP,-The Asso-
ciated Press Society of Ohio op-
poses canon of ethics supported
by the American Bar Association
which would restrict newspaper
photographers in Ohio courtrooms.
During its tWo-day meeting that
ended Sunday, the society unani-
mously adopted resolution oppos-
ing the acceptance of the canon
by the Ohio Supreme Court.

hibit photographers from taking

ern photographer can snap shot
without flashbulbs and without dis
turbing the court.
Clarence Steffy managing edi-
tor of the Alliance Review and
president of the society, presided
at the sessions.
Charles F. McCahill, general
manager of the Cleveland News
and president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
told editors editorial personnel and
business office people should un-
dertsand each other more fully.
But 1 have not the remotest
idea of suggesting that the busi-
ness office infringe on editorial ex-
preston" McCahill said. Il want
to underscore that"
He listed the cost of newprint
as a major problem of the busi-
ness offices of American newspa-
pers.
The Cleveland newspaper execu-
tive was confident about the future
of newspaper advertising, noting
papers had doubled their Image in
the nation since 1914. He said ra-
dio and television stations could
not give the same depth to ad-
vertising as the printed page of a
newspaper.
