1t rained soft and hard until
everyone there was soaked to
the skin. But the hardy stayed
to the finish. AS Churchill New
comb said, 1T really was a sport
ing day"
Our son John. aged 9, has
caught the first fish out of our
pond, and reluctantly threw it
back. In fact, he caught three
in about as many minutes. but
since they didn't measure up to
Istandard-back they went.
The combination of a handy
fishing pole and spring weather
was too much for John. He had
to go fishing. And three bass
answered his casts.
Since our bass won't be old
enough for catching until next
spring, he has now transferred
his activities to the pond next
door, And we had a breakfast
of bluegills the other day.

LIFE IN
THE COUNT Y
Bobcats and Developers Invade
BY JAMES BIRCHFlELD

1t looks like The 40 Acres is
caught in the squeeze the
wilderness coming in from the
west, and the city from the east.
Dick Downs reported the
other day that he saw a bobcat
proving along the fence in
front of his filling station. He
ran for gun, but the cat eS-
capped him into the woods.
That is a sign of wilderness,
all right. There have been bob
cats reported in Loudoun Coun-
ty in other years, but all were
seen near the mountains. This
Is the first l have heard of one
proving about in the lower end
Of the county.
1t is a good thing that cat
didn't get down east of our place
If he had, he might have gotten
confused in a labyrinth of sub
division streets and might not
have been able to find his way
back to the woods.
suppose we should put out
a sign at Dicks place caution
ing wildcats they pass east at
their own risk.
think a lot of us in Loudoun
also would like to see a sign
cautioning subdivision developers
that they pass west at their
own risk. Many of us would
like to see our country remain
just that.
1t looks like we won't have
much say over the wanderings
Of either bobcats or subdivision
developers The bobcat leaves
the protection of his mountains
for the more open spaces of the
lowlands, and the developer
leaves the safe confines of the
suburbs to venture further into
the wilderness area.
Some speak of it as progress
this building of homes where
farms once flourished. I don't
know what the cats think Of
their venturesome kind. But I
am afraid the only reward that
awaits the bobcat is bullet
hole in the head.
Bobcats don't go with
chickens. lambs and the other
elements that make up a farm.
Neither does a developer, but
the farmer has a more positive
method of controlling the cats.

irrigation Report
Shows Increase in
Carrying Capacity

Irrigation studies on bronze
grass pasture during the 1855
grazing season showed that Sc
acre-inches of water increased
the carrying capacity of bronze
grass by Al percent more cow
days, according to summary re-
port prepared by a committee
from the University of Alaska
Alaska Agricultural Experiment
Station and the Soil Censerva-
ton Service.
The consu1nptive use of water
by pasture grass under irrigation
was increased by SO acre-inches,
the report showed. One to two
inches of water applied at the
rate of 0.5 inch per hour for each
irrigation provided sufficient
moisture for rapid plant growth
when irrigations were repeated at
intervals of 10 days to two weeks
Pasture management must in
clude heavy fertilization and ro-
rational grazing to best utilize
the rapid growth potential of ir-
rigated bromegrass. The commit
tee stated that the Blaney-Crid-
die formula for computing irriga-
ton requirements of bromegrass
pasture appears adaptable to AL
askan growing conditions.
The design, supervision and ex-
cution of the study was in the
hands of a committee comprised
of A. L. Brundage. dairy husband
man; Neil Nicholson, soil seient-
ist; and Ivan Branton, engineer,
all of the Experiment Station.
Advisors were Charles Wilson,
territorial conservationist and
Dell Shockley, engineering and
water shed planning unit, SCS.
Detectives of the study included:
Measurement of bromegrass re-
Spouse to irrigation; estimate of
water use by bromegrass: deter
mination of optimum rates; OBJ
servations concerning possible
notifications of grazing practices
to make best use of irrigated pas
lures; and estimate of frequency
of water application.
More complete details of the
study are contained IN pro-
gress report recently completed.
