Stocking Rate Not Answer
The theory that reducing the stock
ing rate and thus providing more grass
per animal will hold up the rate of
gain through out the season is strictly
erroneous. Supplying more grass won't
do the job. There is limit to the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-08-01

capaclLy or any animal 10 consume
feed. If the nutrition needed isn't in
the grass, cattle just can't eat enough
of it to realize the maximum potential
of their ability to gain. Just supplying
more grass isn't the answer.
Tables and A show gain rates by
months of cattle on rates of stocking.
These figures also carry considerable
significance since they represent aver
ages of 8 to 20 years. Note that re-
gardleSS of the rate of stocking the
trend of the gain as the season ad-
vances is exactly the same-DOWN-
WARD. If the nutrition isn't in the
grass, they can't eat enough of it to
get the job done. More grass doesn't
adequately supplement grass.
The figures presented in table I
through A are not intended to peg the
gains to be expected from grazing
cattle, as these will vary with area,
cattle and season. The figures are in
tended to peg the principle of decreased
rates of gain as the season progresses
from spring to fall Much more similar
evidence could be presented.

grass is not new thing. 1t has been
tried down through the years with
varied success. However, the proper
nutrition that needs to go into the sup
plement and results that can be ex-
pected therefrom are a rather new
development.
To replace the green grass nutrition
requires protein, phosphorus, vitamin
A, trace minerals in some areas and
energy. There is no one natural single
feed that economically supplies all o.
these in adquate amounts and proper
proportions. High protein supplements
like cottonseed cake, supply protein

GREEN GRASS is good nutrltI0Il-the
best there is. It's high in protein, high
in carotene (vitamin Al, high in phos-
phorus, high in trace minerals and low
in fiber. 1t puts fast gains on cattle,
Slicks them up and puts ''bloom" on
them. All of this is well recognized
in cattle circles-been known for a
long time.
This article is concerned with what
happens to the nutrition of the grass
after the spring green is gone and,
more specifically, what it means in
decreased gains of cattle The latter
consideration is of prime Importance
to all cattlemen, as it materially in
fluences the profit angle of the summer
and fall grazing operations.
Hundreds of chemical analyses of
grasses in Montana and all of the
Western States and Western provinces
of Canada have all shown that as grass
natures it decreases in its contents of
protein, phosphorus, carotene, trace
minerals, soluble carbohydrates, and it
increases in its crude fiber content.
There is undoubtedly also a con-
siderable loss of other "green grass
nutrition which cannot be measured
in a test tube. The Importance to cattle
men of this decreased nutritional value
of grass as it natures is the effect that
it has on the rate of gain of cattle
grazing ON the grass from spring
through fall. Cattle gains are dependent
on and proportional to the nutrition
that is in the grass on which they are
grazing.
Rate of Gain Decreases
The statement is often heard that it
is in the fall of the year when cattle
harden up, so to speak, that they are
putting on the most gain. This may be
true in rare instances but most every
case in which monthly weights have
been taken cattle have gained less
rapidly in the late summer and fall
months than in the spring months. This
is contrary to many beliefs but the ac-
companying tables well indicate that
on all ages of cattle, on all types oI
ranges, the gains are generally slower
in the late summer and fall than in
the spring.
Note in tables and that there is q
consistent trend for slower gains as
the season progresses. These tables in

Prince Georges Taxes

. A tax cut for Prince Georges County
property owners during 1854 is just
about as certain as Easter, the Fourth
of July and Christmas. What makes it
such a sure thing is the fact that 1854
is an election year.
The tax rate for the 1928 fiscal
year was $1.98 per 500 of assessed
valuation. For the 1953-54 fiscal year
the rate was $2.13. When the 195354
rate was adopted on Tuesday. March
81. 1858, Commissioner Edward j.
Waters declined to vote for the budget
and refused to sign it on the ground

Quilt From Fitchburu

1t is somehow pleasant and relaxing in
these tumultuous times-When commingled
feelings of boredom and excitement run the
gamut from the hydrogen bomb to Senator
McCarthy-to read the nice little story about
President Eisenhower and Mrs. Josephine Ber-
nard of Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
The story has not been widely reported, nor
has it won any headlines worthy of the name.
So let it be recaptulated here. 1t is good
story, wholesome story. 1t tells of how Mrs.
Bernard, who is 80 years old, has sent a 5000
piece patchwork quilt to the President, and of
how he has taken time out-in an exceedingly
busy day, which means every day for him-to
write her warmhearted thank-you note
That's all there is to the tale but it is enough
1t is splendid relief from everything else that
people are forced to read these days. It is kind
and human, glistening in it's own way with
things of the heart-which after ALL in the last
analysis, are the best and most important
things.
Hail. the President Hail, Mrs. Bernard
Her elaborate quilt (shes made so of the same
type in her lifetime) may not be so complicated
as an A-bomb or a Senator, but the story about
1t warns the cookies of the heart lot more
than either. Too bad that this sort of thing
appears so infrequently in our newspapers.

When we stop to think of all the
changes, cold one day. warm the next.
then suddenly back to cold again, we
may wonder that the trees and shrubs
and plants stand it as we'll as they do.
1t is not difficult to understand how
the animals and birds manage these
weather changes, for they are so
closely related to us, with their warm
blood
The normal temperature of a cat,
for instance. is somewhat higher than
that of a human, and birds vary from
103 to Ill degrees, in various species.
But the growing plants. having no
red blood, must depend upon their very
fibers for existence in the cold.
We tend to think of bark, for in
stance, as wholly insensitive. but the
fact is that it, too, can suffer from cold,
and from sudden changes and reversalS
of temperature.
Summer, then, is complete heaven
for plants.
The date of August 30, feast of ST..
Fiacre, patron saint of gardeners, is
good time to think of the blessings of
growing things, and the part they play
in our lives.
Surely no one is sillier, in this world,
than the city man who never stops to
think where his daily bread comes
from He finds it, all neatly packaged,
in a store, but the wheat may have
come from the Far West, and probably
did. Thousands of miles away some
one was thinking of him. This is
miracle of agriculture. and we of the
cities must, never forget it.

Let's Await the Evidence

If the clash between Senator McCarthys
subcommittee and the Army involves nothing
more than misunderstanding and mistakes by
one or more individuals" as Senator Mundt
claims, then the whole investigation of this
affair might as we'll be called off. But it might
be good idea for all of us, Senator Mundt in
Guided to await the evidence before judging
the case.
On the basis of the statements pro and con
which have been made by the parties involved,
this is serious matter. The charges advanced
by the Army, if true, mean that the prestige
and power of the Senate have been miSuSed by
one of its committees in an attempt to disrupt
and dictate military procedures. If Senator
McCarthys counter accusation of "blackmail"
by the Army is true then those responsible for
an attempt to coerce Senate committee should
certainly be exposed and dismissed from the
Government service.
Of course reporters and publications have
shown what Senator Mundt decres as ''fev-
erish interest" in the case. There is every
reason why they should be interested, and it is
to be hoped that Senator Mundt, who is slated
to preside over the investigation, will develop
a feverish interest of his own in digging out and
exposing the truth. Some one has been lying
in this case, and it is of the highest Importance
to find out who that some one is.

Britoin's Views Resented

Editorials in English newspapers say
that Mccarthy has done what Corn
wallis and Burgoyne could not do: that
our foreign relations are imperiled
throughout the world etc.
Well maybe So but go back a few
years and remember when the extreme
left-wing Harold Laski British Labor
party secretary, was coming over here
to tell us what kind of political system
we should have, how to spend our
money, etc, and the Reverend Hewlett
Johnson. dean of Canterbury. was ad-
vising us with regard to religion. SO
far as I know, no British columnist OF
commentator regarded these visits as
endangering foreign relations, nor do
I see or hear any mention of it in cur
rent comments. This curious different!
alton indicates the bias toward the LETT
of both columnists and commentators.
Even the few conservative Of such folk
seem paralyzed. unable to make even
feeble defenSe-not of Mccarthy. but

cussing these matters.

"RIVERDALE, MD.

R1VERDALE, NIL.
Dear Sir:
"A gardening magazine I subscribe
to mentions that Saint Fiacre is the
patron saint of gardeners.
Gould you tell us something about
him?
VERY truly yours, M. G. G."
ST. Fiacre was born in Ireland, about
the end of the sixth century; the date
is uncertain, but not the time of his
death, which was August 18, the year
670 AID.
His feast is kept on August 30. All
ardent gardeners should keep the date
in mind.
According to the Catholic Encyclo-
pedia, to which we are indebted, Fiacre,
having been ordained a priest, retired
to a hermitage on the banks of the
More, county Kilkenny.
1t is strange fact that this simple
country clergyman was destined, sew
eral centuries later, to give his name
to the French cab, the fiacre, but it was
so, as will be shown in due course.
Desiring greater solitude, Fiacre left
his native land and travelled to Meaux,
where he was received by Faro who
there held episcopal sway. Faro granted
him a site at Breul. According to the
encyclopedia. Fiarce built an oratory
in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
including hospital where he received
strangers, and cell in which The lived
apart"
He spent his time in modification,

power, because direct offensive
through the skies is the only thing that
Moscow fears. Our military leaders
have been awakened little to the fact
that complete control of the skies is
our only way to keep world peace and
to win a war with Russia. Therefore,
we have new look to our military.
This new look must continually fight
the inertia of the military mind and
the aversion to change of the layman.
Let's not do what Russia wants, but
listen for once to the genius of our
airmen and not to political dupes. Let's
build the most powerful Air Force the
world has ever seen. not only in quality
but in quantity, as an investment in a
future full of fear for the Russians and
security. peace, and happiness for our
selves.

Proclamation of q Fraud

The State Department is we'll justified in
heapng scorn on the Kremlins decision to
grant full sovereignty" to East Germany and
its puppet Communist regime headed by Pre-
mier" Grotewohl. The Soviet proclamation to
that effect has been made with great out
pouring of propaganda, but nothing could be
more obvious than the fact that the move is
fraudulent.
This is so for two reasons, among others.
First, the full sovereignty will be anything but
full-no more than an empty form entirely
lacking in observation-disclosures the kremlln Will
continue to maintain its occupation troops in
East Germany and otherwise control things
over there as firmly and relentlessly as ever.
Second, the politically illegitimate Grotewohl
government" is itself fraud-the mere tool OF
a foreign power-and hence incapable of being
its own master or serving the Germans as an
independent representative.
The truth is, of course, that this so-called
government Chancellor Adenauer's
at Bonn-does not have the free vote of the
people behind it. On the contrary, as the
creature and agent of the Soviet Union, it is
sort of branch-office tyranny ruthlessly i'm
posed upon the East Germans, and they would
have long since overthrow it if Russian occu-
nation troops were not on hand to back it up.
Certainly judging from last June's anti-Com-
munist outbreaks in the Red zone there is no
exaggeration in the State Departments asser-
ton that eff those troops we're removed the
entire puppet regime would collapse under the
weight of the hatred and hostility of the popu-
lace which it has the effrontery to claim it
represents"
In such circumstances, the KremlinS grant
of full sovereignty" mocks reality. Presumably
it is designed to win some propaganda advan-
tages but who is likely to be fooled by it? Surely
not the East Germans. Feeling the harsh pres
sures of tyranny all around them, night and
day, they can only regard the Soviet proclama-
ton as kind of brutal joke-a lot of hypocrit-
ical words thoroughly belied by ceaseless acts
of oppression and a continuing intent to keep
Germany divided, half slave and half free.

Mr.. Dodqe Leaves the Team

President Eisenhower is losing key man
in his administration with the resignation OF
Joseph M. Dodge as Director of the Budget.
The Detroit banker, a long-term friend and
associate of the President, was named only
few days after the 1852 election to come here
as a liaison representative for the President
elect on budget matters. 1t was one of the most
intricate but important problems involved In
shifting responsibility for government from
Democratic to a Republican administration.
Before Inauguration time Mr.. Dodge was asked
to stay on as Budget Director.
Mr.. Dodge has been recognized here as
forceful and Single-minded executive. When he
arrived in November, 1852, he told reporters he
was mot here to make news, but to do task"
That task, in the long run, was to implement
the new Presidents pledge to reduce government
spending without harm to its operations. The
administration now estimates its savings" will
total about $12 billion in its first two years in
office Much of the credit for this economizing
must go to Mr. Dodge
While it is understandable that MIR. Dodge
Is anxious to return to his private banking
capacity in Detroit, his resignation from the
Government is another to be regretted in the
growing list of top men who are either unable
or unwilling to give longer time to public
service. 1t is not problem that has plagued
the Eisenhower administration only; the turn
over of non-career men in government is rela-
lively high in any administration. But in this
case the job of setting the Governments fiscal
house in order-through reduction of expendi-
lures revision of tax laws, elimination of deficit
spending and start on reducing the tremen-

had a green thumb" as it is called
today. and was a real dirt gardener
not pretender in this line.
There is a legend that St. Faro al
surround in one day with farrow, and
that Fiacre turned up the earth with
the point of his crosier, land that an
offlcious woman fastened to tell Faro
that he was being beguiled," but that
Faro recognized that Fiacre was a man
of God and sought his blessing Fiacre
henceforth excluded women from the
precincts of his monastery. The
encyclopedia says that in reality the
exclusion of women was a common
rule in the Irish foundations.
The French cab derives its name
from him. According to the encyclo-
pedia. the Hotel de st. Fiacre, in the
Rue Saint Martin, in the middle of the
18th century, first let these coaches
on hire. The sign of the inn was an
image of the Saint, and the coaches
in time came to be called by his name"
The last of August is a wonderful
time in the garden.
We can look forward to it, and in
the meantime watch the greening of
trees and grass.
The forsythia color is not so good
this spring as usual, probably due to
the uncertain ups and downs of the
