for calving and Landing. Alfalfa is, of
course. the hay for dairy production,
and that is what sets its price above
that of the native grass hay.
Many of the Montana and other west
ern cattle ranches that produce the
wild hay try tc do so with minimum
use of labor and with lavish use of the
early runoff water Such operations
may have done little or no leveling or
other. preparation of the lands for irri-
cation and have no irrigation system
other than the necessary bitches for
wild flooding of the meadows. The
meadows may be doused with the cold
early runoff starting in May and kept
flooded and soaked through June.
Almost inevitably, such treatment
causes the better of the native grasses
and sedges to give way to the tough
and wiry grasses and to the coarser
and poorer Of the sedges and rushes.
Such hay is INTENTIONALLY poor, little
more than stuffing, yet I've seen and
YOU have seen cattle wintered on such
hay. The hair of Hereford calves Win
tered on such hay without considerable
concentrate supplement will have yell
Iowish and dull cast by spring.
Cool Weather Grasses
Where the native hay is grown under
good meadow management, the west
ern wheatgrass or 'sbluejoint' usually
yields well This, along with the native
fescue grasses and sedges not only
make good hay, but if there is some
late water for irrigation after the hay
harvest, they make good meadow re-
growth for fall pasturage.
1t is now known, however, that there
are grasses that can be introduced in
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-07-01

is nearly as much wild hay grown IN
Montana as there is alfalfa hay The
comparison IS around a million tons
of wild hay annually and about mil
lion and a quarter tons of alfalfa Yet
these same statistics show that the
alfalfa yield per acre is approximately
double that CT the wild hay and that
over the past 20 years alfalfa hay has
sold for about 20 per cent more per ton
than the wild hay. The yield COMPARE
son is, for an average over a period
of years, one ton per acre for the wild
hay and two tons per acre for the al
falfa.
In seeing this picture in figures, one
not familiar with the economy of Mon
tana and other western stock ranches
might raise the question of why wild
hay is grown Why grow the native
grass hay when the alfalfa yield is
double and the price is higher?
We know, of course, that most of the
wild hay produced in Montana is grown
on the stock ranches, and especially
on the cattle ranches. We know, too,
that the native grass hay can be grown
under conditions where alfalfa cannot
be grown at all, or if grown. would
yield little if any more than the native
hay. These conditions are short growing
seasons and frost hazards such as may
prevail in the higher valleys of western
Montana, insufficient late irrigation wa
ter for adequate regrowth to make a
second cutting of alfalfa and others.
Additionally, there is the fact that
alfalfa meadows will not make as
fall meadow pasturage as will the ma
tive grass meadows, and that good
alfalfa production depends upon better
drainage and irrigation methods than
available without considerable develop
mental expenditure for many ranches.
Best Use of Meadows
The economy of all this has over
period of years been more or less
worked out BY the stock ranches, and
most of those that grow wild hay do so
because it is the best economics for
them to do So But many ranches are
still in process of change regarding this,
and there are many ranches where
some production of alfalfa or other
tame meadow hay would be advanta-
geous. There are others where consider
able could be gained in efficiency in
the better use and management of the
native hay meadows.
When grown under good conditions,
the native or wild hay from a native
hay meadow can be very good indeed
and may represent the most economic
use of the meadowland and the water.
Such hay may have fair protein con-
tent, though usually considerably less
than alfalfa, and it may be better than
alfalfa in the starches, sugars and fats
the energy components. This kind of
native hay is good for wintering ma
ture beef cattle, and we see it used to
fatten steers and cows in some areas
of surplus native hay, such as the
Montana Big Hole basin area.
However, the alfalfa hay, with its
considerably higher protein content. is
superior for wintering calves because
they need the protein for body growth

confer with him about the educa-
ton of children. He is no father;
he has no fathers care; he has no
interest in children nor in schools.
DR.. Howard does not care if there
is not one school built in Missis-
sippi, integrated or not integrated.
The only thing or individual he
is interested in is Howard and his
Cadillac. If it was left up to How
ard to make his choice for the de-
velopment of people, he would pre-
fer to bring some servants from
Africa to give him a bath and to
serve him as slaves. He has no
use for anybody who do not think
as he thinks. The doctor has the
mind of the species of animal,
King Kong. When you do not
agree with him, he yells and beats
himself in the breast, pulls up trees
around him and makes his greater
claim of what he has done for
humanity.
If VIDA, broadcasting station
that has given this opportunity for
Negro people, the Pittsburgh
Courier, whom | know a part of
the staff to be some of the most
outstanding people in journalism,
knew Howard as | know him and
if he would suggest to these fine
people to go west, they should go
east. The truth of it and frankly
speaking, the people who know DR..
Howard care nothing about him
and they only consider him as one
of Mississippi's greatest trouble
makers and biggest liars in the
state. This has been agreed by
both the white and the Negro

Howard. People out Of Mississippi
or those in Mississippi who live
distantly from him, do not know
him. If he knew the most out
standing event of 1854 and he could
not own it as an achievement of
his, he would not have said it.
This paper wants to name the
most outstanding event of 1854 in
Mississippi or in any other South
ern state. When DR.. Lawrence C.
Jones Of Piney Wood, Miss, ap-
peared on the TV program, "This
Is Your Life" and was given for
his school from the hearts of the
low income bracket of people of
America over 100000 that was
the most outstanding event in
Mississippi or America for Ne
groes and DR.. Towards accusation
that a group of Negroes bargain
with Governor Hugh White to Of
fer a subterfuge for the ruling of
the Supreme Court was the biggest
lie for 1854. The people of. Amer
lea do not know DR.. Howard. He
rides on the waves; he lives on
the controversial movement or
conversation and when he does not
have such to feed upon, he is like
the beautiful insect who crawls in
low places looking for a load or
carrying a load.
DR.. Howard is a man that de-
serves much credit. He came to
Mississippi ragged, no home, no
job and was employed by a prom
inent Negro organization and the
only thing that he has done was
feed upon the ignorance and to
battle himself in the pools of the
thoughtlessness of colored people,
of whom he could take the ad-
vantage for personal gain. DR..
Howard lied when he said that a
group of Negroes, who he called
Weaklings of Mississippi, made
any such deal with Governor
White. He also lied when he said
he has done anything for the adj
vancement of the Negroes in the
Mississippi Delta. The doctor does
not possess that kind of mind. He
does not do constructive thinking
and even his close friends have
learned to doubt him. He is most
misstrustful and considered to be
the most outstanding double

clash between white and black peo-
pie in Africa.
BY using a sizable, well-equipped
army with supporting aircraft, the
British have broken up the Mau
Mau into separate gangs. But
these gangs can continue to thrive
for a long while in the forests,
making periodic sorties to murder
white settlers and pro-white men,
bers of their own Kikuyu tribe.
Gen. Sir George Erskine, who
will relinquish his command to
General Lathbury, has been in some
trouble with the white settlers of
Kenva because he has insisted that
eradication of the Mau Mau must
finally depend on political rene
dies which are not for generals to
decide upon.
Officially in London it is stated
that General Erskine's return is
merely part of routine shift in
army commands. But the transfer
is arousing considerable concern in
London among those who feel that
ruthless methods in Africa will
not achieve the results desired,
and may even turn East Africa
into raging couldron.
Recent reports reaching here
from Nairobi tell of Kenya as a
colony of "frayed nerves." 1nquir-

famed Scotland Yard with all its
skill. experience, and resources has
to deal with in two years.

Miss, appeared on a program orig
mated by VIDA, 50,00O-watt radio
station Memphis, Tenn, Sunday,
January 2, 1866. This program
was originated by VIDA with Pro-
lessor Nat D. Williams, prominent
educator Of Memphis, Tenn, pre-
siding. VIDA presents this pro-
gram to give Negroes Of Men,
phis and the South a chance to
express themselves about the
trend of education and democracy.
Although the opinion of the Ne
groes do not at all times reflect
the opinions of the station nor
some Negroes, DR.. T. r. NJ. How
ard was asked this question
What was the outstanding event
to happen in Mississippi to Ne
groes in 1954?" AS usual the
doctor came forward with his opin-
ion and philosophy of the school
question. The doctor replied, "The
most outstanding event to happen
in Mississippi to Negroes in 1854
was after the ruling of the Su-
preme Court Decision, May 18th,
that a group of weakling Negroes,
including two college presidents,
went to the Governors office and
made deal with the Governor of
Mississippi, Hugh L. White, to go
along with Mississippi in promis-
ing voluntary segregation as a
subterfuge for circumventing the
ruling of the Supreme Court. DR..
Howard further said that when he
heard what had happened by this
group of weaklings that he pro-
ceeded to break it up in Missis-
sippi. He gave himself credit for
all of the outstanding happenings
for good of Negroes of the State
for 1854.
We believe that VIDA original
ed this program for the good of
Negroes. Frankly speaking, we
think it is good program and
should be continued for we know
the presider of the program, Pro-
fessor Nat D. Williams; also the
owners of the station, Mr.. John
K. Pepper and Mr.. Bert Ferguson.

best thought of, one of the most
honest and outstanding educators
in the South. This l hated. AS
for the writer of this article, he
cares nothing about what he said
or what he does. This is America
and as an American, the writer is
emitted to his thoughts and opin-
ions.
Be it known that this writer
along with the committee do not
see any magic in Negroes attend
ing white schools. There is no
magic about the white man that
attracts me to his side other than
the mutual benefits. For the lnte-
grafton of schools, / do not go
along with the philosophy of DR..
Howard. l do not believe it will
benefit the Negroes. He knows /
believe that. He knows that DR..
White believes that but as to the
agreeing with the Governor for the
circumventing of the Supreme
Court ruling, DR.. White nor any
member of the committee made
such commitments. Therefore, DR..
Howard who has continued to tell
one of the most atrocious lies
against a group of men whom he
called weaklings, told the biggest
lie recorded in 1854.
