.Yeur-Around Feed
Plan May Be Right
Answer to Drought

A 12-month feed plan may be
one of the answers to the farm
er's continual battle against
nature.
Such a plan, in which various
mixtures are used f1exibly for
grazing, silage, and/or hay has
been set up at the Middleburg
branch of VPI Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, and Is being
compared to the more familiar
practices of continuous grazing.
The two test units are set up
in three-acre fields. The ex-
pertinent was begun in August.
1852.
The daily liveweight gains OF
steers under continuous grazing
and rotational grazing among
several mixtures were similar.
The 12-monthS' feed plan car
ried more animals per acre than
the continuous grazing plans.
Data for the 1853 season show
that on continuous grazing
steers gained 1876 pounds daily;
On the 12-monthS' plan with ro-
rational grazing, and silage and
hay management of mixtures,
they gained 1875 pounds.
Continuously grazed pastures
carried 40 steers per day for $50
steer days for a gain of TAI
pounds per three acres. Under
the 12-months' feed plan, pas
lures carried 81 steers per day
for 418 steer days for gain Of
526 pounds per three acres.
The 12-months' plan had an
additional value. however,: 17M
tons of silage and 1h tons Of
hay we're harvested for winter
feed from the three acre area.
This silage and hay should carry
5N 600-pound steers for $50
days during the winter and pro-
duce more than $50 pounds Of
liveWeight gains.
The mixtures and method of
uses in the 12-months' feed plan
were: orchard grass-ladino clo-
-bluegrass-white clover-red
clover. used for grazing; orchard
grass-lespedeza, used for graz
ing; orchard grass-red clover
ladino clover, the first cutting
used for silage and then for
grazing; alfalfa-l -ladino clover
orchard grass, first cutting for
silage, the second and third
growths for hay and the last
growth for grazing: alfalfa-or-
chard grass, the first cutting for
silage, the second and third
growths for hay. and the last
growth for grazing.
The continuously grazed pas
lures were sown with a mixture
of orchard grass, ladino clover,
bluegrass, white clover and red
clover.

Rubs and Sprays
Beneficial to Dogs
AS Fleos Multiply
By Peter Boees

"The wicked flea" is Just get
ing into its stride among dogs.
During the winter months your
dog either had no f1eas at all or
else only enough to keep him
mildly interested. Now, 1t is diff
ferent And it will continue, in
creasingly, for several months.
There are several things that
can be done. All of these things
require constant vigilance, il
your dog lives in country or SUBJ
urbs. The city dog can easily be
kept free from f1eas. But in the
country there are fieas in the
grass and elsewhere, waiting to
attach themselves to your newly
cleaned dog.
Go carefully through his coat
every few days, looking for fleaS.
Rub one of the several safe and
sure flea powders deeply into
his coat. See that his kennel or
other sleeping quarters are
sprayed every few days by one
of the several safe and sure
liquid flea killers.
Raw eggs form a part Of my
dogs diet. From the time they
are puppies, I feed them eggs
broken into a shallow dish with
the eggshells crushed and mixed
in. The egg shells are good for
bone development because Of
their lime content.
Taught in puppyhood. the av-
erage dog will swallow the egg
and the bunch of shell fragments
eagerly. Many older dogs will
do so, even when the mixture is
offered to them for the first time
after they are full grown. On
the other hand, many older dogs
won't. They lick up the egg it,
self. and refuse to touch the
crushed shell. Unlike most other
animals, dogs differ nearly as
much in their food preferences
as do humans.

Asian Arts in the Schools

ANE FORCE of good will
" in Washington with the
aim to promote friendliness
and understanding between
American and Asian peoples
is the Asian Cultural Ex-
change Foundation.
The foundation started a
series of presentations Of
Asian art and handcrafted
articles to District high
schools last winter. Pieces
were given and lent to the
schools for study by students
of the art and social study
classes particularly, but other
students and any one else
may study them, too.
"The purpose of the founda-
t,on," says its president, Simon
Kriger, ''is to foster a better
understanding of the peoples
of Asia by Americans, and vice
versa"
The organization plans to
send American art pieces and
items that exhibit American
ingenuity to Asian countries.
The schools which received
the pieces are Eastern, Dun
bar, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin
Coolidge and Spingarn.
In the opinion of DIR.
Charles s. Lotion, principal
of Dunbar, the first part of
the foundations purpose is
being accomplished espe-
cially with students. "Our
students of art and social
studies reacted with enthusi-
asm and eagerness to learn
in their study of the pieces,
and they definitely have a new
awareness of the peoples OF
ASIA" he says.
