Protein Level Is
Must For Milk

Good dairymen know that the
proper amount of protein in the
grain ration is vital to the perfor-
nance of their milking cows. The
question is: What is the proper
level of protein to feed?
Research and practical expert
ences have shown that good 16q6
grain ration will do the job eff
ciently, regardless of the kind of
roughage available, if the amount
fed is adjusted to roughage quality.
The soundness of this program
was illustrated in feeding test
conducted in Missouri. Thirty-six
mature Holstein cows averaging a.
bout 1900 pounds live. weight were
divided into three equal groups on
the basis of previous production
and other factors. Lot / received
good alfalfa hay and corn silage,
with a 1870 grain mixture at the
rate of l pound for each 81 pounds
of milk. Lot Ii received poor quail
ity timothy hay free choice, along
with corn silage and a 24eo grain
at the same rate as Lot I. Lot III
received the same poor quality hay
and corn silage, but were fed more
pounds of the same 1870 grain mix
ture that was fed in Lot /. Lot III
cows received ] pound of supple
ment for every pa pounds of milk.
Cows in Lot /, fed good hay and
a normal feeding of 1870 supple
ment, increased their production an
average of IL pounds per day over
their previous lactation. Cows in
Lot II, fed poor roughage and a
normal amount of 24eo supple
ment, fell off an average of 6.35
pounds per day. Cows in Lot III,
fed poor roughage with an increas-
ed amount of 1870 supplement,
gained an average of 6 of pound
of milk per day over previous lac
tations. Lot III returned an aver
age of 19 cents more per COW per
day over feed costs than Lot II.
This test indicated that the 1870
grain ration, fed at a slightly high
er level with poor roughage, made
best use of poor roughage, and fed
at normal levels supplemented
good hay economically and eff

Thousands To Be
Injured In Year

At least 72,000 Ohio workers will
file lost-time personal injury claims
with the Bureau of Workmen's S
Compensation this year.
This figure is particularly dis
tressing to James H. Fluker, super
intendent of the Industrial Com
missions Division of Safety and
Hygiene. Most of these accidents
could have been prevented by fol-
lowing simple safety rules" Fluker
said.
Making Ohio workers safety
conscious is the Divisions main
objective. 1t employs 46 safety adj
visors, who made more than $1,000
safety surveys in Ohio firms last
year.
No one can say how many acci-
dents this team prevented, but the
facts are clear that Ohio's indus
trial safety record is improving.
Safety advisors are welcomed at
most plants, Fluker said Employ
ers, employees and the labor un-
ions are cooperating WELL" he said.
After the advisors have recon-
mended new safety devices for ma.
chimes, new safety equipment for
workers and changes in such things
as dust-removal, they check to see
if the recommendations are follow
ed. In the few cases where unsafe
practices continue, the facts are
turned over to the Ohio Depart
ment of Industrial Relations which
enforces compliance.
In addition to its field-work, the
Division of Safety and Hygiene
conducts vigorous Statewide
safety-education campaign. More
than 25,000 of its posters appear in
Ohio factories each month. Millions
of Ohio workers receive its safety
messages when they get their pay

almost inevitable part Of farm
living.
Less than IL percent Of the
Nations farmers had electric
service in 1885, and now more
than 90 percent of American
farms are receiving electric ser
vice. Electric equipment such a:
milking machines, automatic
livestock watering equipment
pig and chick brooders, hay dry
ers, feed mixers. and hoists
have helped farmers increase
production with fewer workers
to do the job. Today the average
farm output per hour of farm
labor is almost twice what II
was back in pre-World War II
days. But electricity's share in
the increased efficiency of A
merican farming is only part OF
the rural classification story.
Important to the story is that
the REA-financed power sys-
TENS which are successfully per-
forming this giant task for rural
America were built with grass
root initiative. They are locally
owned and locally managed. The
great majority of them are pri-
vately-owned business enter
prises, including 979 coopera-
tiveS and "a electric companies.
A smaller number-75- are OPP
Grated by municipalities or 9TH
er public bodies. None of the
systems was built by Uncle Sam.
REA did loan the money with
which they we're built-but only
after the local groups had made
plans for building an economi-
cally sound system and had
signed up enough consumers to
