Rotation Pasture
Grows More Feed

Rotation pasture produces
more feed on an acre than per
manent pasture says E. P. Reed,
extension agronomist at Ohio
State University.
He says a very good" alfalfa
mixture used as rotation pasture
will produce about 1850 pounds
of total digestible nutrients an
acre. An acre of average" alf-
alta mixture will produce about
1900 pounds of total digestible
nutrients.
A very good" permanent pas
ture that has been treated also
will produce about 1000 TDN
on each acre. Average quality,
treated permanent pasture will
provide about 1880 pounds OF
TDN an acre.
Reed says untreated perman-
ent pasture will produce 1926 tc
$50 pounds of TDN an acre de-
pending upon whether it is
poor" or average"
He doesn't even consider {
good" classification for untreat-
ed permanent pastures.
A red clover mixture used as
rotated pasture is not as gooc
as alfalfa mixtures but is better
than permanent pasture in pro.
duction of TDN.

Seventeenth Locust
Will Appear In Ohio
About Middle OF June

The periodical cicada, better
known as the 17-year locust, will
appear in more than 20 west
central and southwestern Ohio
counties about June lst.
says T. H. Parks, extension en-
tromologist at Ohio State Uni
versity.
They also will appear in Noble
county.
Area in which they will
emerge from the ground is
roughly bounded by line from
Mercer county to Wyandot, to
Pickaway to Hamilton and to
Mercer again.
Parks says trees set out dur
ing the last 2 years in or near
older orchards or wooded areas
will be damaged when female
cicadas lay eggs in twigs ana
branches. Fruit growers will be
most concerned about the dam
age.
Each female cicada has long,
sword-like egg-laying tube. Into
tree branches and twigs, the in
sect thrusts and withdraws the
tube number of times to make
a fibrous nest of wood tissue.
Mutilation by this egg-laying
process kills many smaller twigs
of the tree.
When eggs hatch, about 7
weeks later, the young cicada
emerges, falls to the ground and
goes to 19 inches into the
ground where it feeds on a live
tree root. 1t will emerge again
II years later.
Parks says young trees in the
vicinity of dense, older woods
/ need protection. Best way to do
| this is to tie tree branches to-
gether in a compact mass and
tightly enclose the mass in
| cheesecloth.
If young trees are not protect
ed this way, owners should delay
pruning. Late pruning can re-
move injured branches and cor
rect the shape of Scared trees.
Only insecticide that is effec-
tive against the cicada requires
cautious handling. 1t is TEPP.
Parks says best time to apply
the material is at night SO it act
ually will strike the insects.
County extension offices have
complete details on cicada
emergence and control.

KNOW YOUR
SOCIAL SECURITY

Major changes in the Social
Security Act during recent years
have not only provided more
security for more people, but
have also made it much easier
to obtain this protection" This
statement was made today by
Robert B. Youmans, manager of
the GAINESVILLE office of the
Social Security Administration.
Although millions of work
ers have been paying for this
protection for years." Youmans
continued, "a surprising num-
ber are still totally uninformed
as to what this program means
to them. This probably applies
more to those people who have
been under the program the
longest. They have taken the
social security deductions from
their paychecks for granted. The
newly covered groups seem
more aware of their status since
they have only recently begun
making contributions"
Youmans says that many
people still think of the pro-
gram as it was when they were
first covered back in 1897 and
1888. They are surprised, in
many cases, to learn that there
are benefits payable to survivors
in death cases. Other think OF
the program as it operated prior
to the 1850 amendments, not
realizing that even since that
recent date, the benefits have
substantially increased, the
eligibility requirements greatly
modified, and new types OF
benefits provided.
Youmans urges that workers
get up-to-date information about
what the social security pro
gram means to them and their
! families. They should know what
the program provides to mans
family in the event of his death
They should know something
about what they can expect as
payments upon retiring after
age IS. The place to get this in
formation is from the local socia
security office. Youmans say:
they will be glad to answer
questions and discuss your owr
situation with you. The Zanes.

Pasture Fails To Affect
Mineral Content of Milk

An Ohio scientist says there
is little or no correlation be-
tween the mineral content of
cows milk and pasture grasses
the animal eats.
R. G. Washburn, dairy nutri-
zionist at the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station, tested the
ash residue of milk samples
from three different dairy herds
over 3 year period. At the
same time, he analyZed pasture
grasses on which the cows were
feeding. The test showed the per
centage of minerals in the milk
tended to be more stable than
that Of the pasture.
Washburn noted some trends
in pasture mineral elements
from month to month but the
mineral content Of milk tended
to remain more constant. Where
fluctuations in milk and pasture
analysis did occur, the scientist
said variations in rainfall, wea-
ther, feed supplements and
other factors were thought to be
responsible. He also found mark
ed differences in the amounts of
minerals present between years.
Discovery of this fact does
not remove the need for supply
ing a dairy herd with good pas
ture at all times, Washburn
points out. A cow inherits the
ability to produce milk and but
terfat. It's the owners RESPONSE
bility to feed and manage he1
properly for maximum milk
flow.

Grab Test Measures
Silage Moisture Content

The grab test is an easy way
to determine whether a crop is
too wet or dry to keep III a Silo
says Earl Jones, extension agro-
nomist at Ohio State University.
Jones says if a ball Of chopped
material held firmly in the hand
tends to show juiciness it is too
wet for ensiling alone. If the
ball of material springs apart
and falls into a pile in the hand
after squeezing it probably is
too dry for ensiling without
special care and sealing.
When the handful of chopped
, material retains the shape of the
inside of the hand and is merely
moist it probably will make good
silage just as it is.
Jones explains that when
chopped material contains too
much moisture silage made from
it will be soggy, cold and juicy
Silage will be fluffy and diff
cult to pack if the crop is toe
high in dry matter content.
Alfalfa and other succulent
forage is early bloom may con-
tain as little as IS to 20 percent
dry matter when standing
Jones says such crops shoulc
wilt in the field before going
into the silo.
On good drying days, 2 to 4
hours in the WindroW probably
| will reduce the moisture content
Of succulent crops to the proper
range-60 to rs percent mois-
ture.

Parrot Going Strong
In His 50th Year

ried a feature story last week
about a 50-year-old parrot and
Donnie Ball, 6, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Donald Ball of Delaware
and a great-grandson of Mr.. and

The little chap is a grandson

The parrot, known as miss
Polly" belongs to Donnie's
grandmother, Mrs. Corbett
Moreland, also Of Delaware.
The boy is the fifth generation
in the family to enjoy the antics
of the South American yellow
headed parrot which has large
repertoire of songs dating back
to Civil War days. Its original
owner was Mrs. Moreland's S
grandfather.
