Americas farmers and ranchers
need better grass {. and more of it!
Even now the nations new crop of grass Is
beginning to grow green on farms and ranches
in the deep South. AS spring moves north
across the country, it pays to be ready to give
your grass lift at the proper time Plant
food can be applied before the frost is out of
the land. And spring seeding of grasses and
legumes should be done In time to catch the
earliest growing weather.
If you plan a grass improvement program
this year, here are some tips from men who
have made their grass pay in big way. They
point out that Improvement should start on
your best grassland. You'll get greater returns
faster, and as your income from grass in
creases, you'll be able to expand your program
to poorer land.
Select seed carefully
Selection of new seed for pasture or range
is very important. There are almost 1000
varieties of grass grown in the U. S. In every
section there are improved and adapted
varieties especially suited to certain soils and
climates. 1t pays to check carefully with your
Vo-Ag teacher, county agent or state expert
ment station. They know the grasses and
legumes that will do best for you.
Good pasture management begins with the
seeded. 1t should be finely worked and
firmly packed There must be sufficient mois-
ture to promote quick growth. In renovating
established pastures there are three steps that
work wonders lining, application of plant
foods, and controlling weeds. Results are
often amazing Grass yields are doubled and
tripled :. and on good land, grass can bring
in return equal to the best crop land.
Kill the "gangsters in the grass"
Getting rid of mesquite, sage and other
brush is the big problem in range improve
ment. But chemical killers trained down.
from airplanes are giving results and cutting
costs of brush control. When the brush is
gone, native grasses. grow again. And new
varieties can be introduced to increase carry
ing capacity.
AS the raw material of meat, milk and wool,
grass is the Number One Crop of livestock
production. That's why grass is so important
to all of us in the ivestock-meat industry
why it is so important to give it the care it

weekend, and while the newly or
ganized clubs are doing well, many
still wonder how they are likely to
end the season. A favorite pitcher
here used to be John Townsend,
who ably defended the honor of
local sport back in 1896 and there
after until 1912. He was a fine
pitcher and could puzzle most any
team that had the nerve to come
here and oppose his superb work
in the pitchers box. He once threw
a baseball a distance of 483 feet
and was at one time called the
champion of long distance throw
ing. He was often sought by var
ious clubs up and down the state
but always preferred to stick to
his home club. Mr.. Townsend and
his wife now reside in Whining
ton.

Farmers are planning to grow
acres of cucumbers for the city

this vegetable in good value and it

the vegetable is a leading product

Elmer Johnson of Chadds Ford,

James Mills of Pittsburgh, Pa,

Their presence in our world is a
real fact. Their spirit is here this

On February II, members of
the Wheaton Lions will turn out
en- masse when the Red Cross
Bloodmobile comes to the fire
house at Glenmont. Each year the
Lions Clubs in the area pledge a
certain amount of blood, and
S4--cca club has a percentage of
that quota to fill. In last years
drive, the Wheaton Lions had a
three hundred percent contribu-
ton against their quota. and
actual donations and pledges
made so far this year indicate
that at least the quota will be
made again.
Robert E. Staley is chairman TO
the blood donation drive for the
local group. The Bloodmobile will
be at the firehouse from until
8 p. m. on February II, so if you
haven't given blood yourself this
year and plan to, why not stop
by for your donation.

made of atomic power for other
than destructive use such as

just as good a demonstration in

something more peacefully

ers-as against $1063.7O last year.
Mrs. Louise Duncan, Mrs. Bas-

Part of this increase is. of course,
due to the increase in the number
of homes in the area-but the
mothers, fathers, and children
who collected certainly did mig
nificient job.

All citizens of the area and the

These ladies discussed the Coun-

services.
These two programs-plus this
associations sponsorship of Boy

truly living up to the aims of a
civic organization. If a citizens
group educates its members and
sponsors youth activities, nothing
more can be asked of it. Good
luck to this newest of our local
