COLORFUL CHARACTER :.
On a slow day in the sports
world, a columnist, seeking out
lively material, looks for Joe
Benjamin and writes about him.
Joe was one of those wonderful
lightweights in Benny Leonard's
time, who could easily have been
champ if there were no Benny
around. An interesting conversa-
tionalist, a close friend of Jack
Dempsey, Joe Benjamin still has
his wits and his humor. Frank
Graham, the veteran sports col
umnist, talking to Joe recently,
quotes him on success. A guy once
said to Joe that if he were serious
about it, he could have succeeded
Leonard to the lightweight throne.
"And you might have made a mil

Torah read in the synagogue from
a central elevated platform?
ANSWER: The practice is gen.
orally understood to come from
the description in the Book of
Nehemiah where it is told how
Ezra the Scribe read the Torah in
public. It is written there: "And
Ezra the Scribe stood upon plat
form of wood, which they made
for this purpose and they
read =" Mehemiah 8:4).
It is maintained that the Torah
must be read from an elevated
platform so that the people under
stand that the word of the AL
mighty is higher than the word
of man. 1t is particularly desired
that the place where the Torah is
read should be in the center of
the congregation while the people
gather around it.
For one thing, this gives us the
picture as it was at Sinai when
the Torah was given-the people
were all around the mountain and
the Torah was given in the midst
of them. It is also said to signify
that the Torah should be a part
of us and not just literary piece
in the abstract.
= S.
QUESTION: Why is the Torah
read from a parchment scroll
which contains all five Books of
Moses?
ANSWER: Every public act of
holiness requires such a quorum.
Some of the rabbis claim that
this is particularly necessary in
view Of the fact that the name of
the Almighty is blessed before the
reading (Bor 'Chu). In general, it
serves to impress us that the
achievement of holy acts and
purposes cannot be realized on an
individual basis alone. One needs
a community spirit to fulfill ones
obligation to Heaven. Man was
not destined to live and exist
alone-but rather was he created
to act as part of an organized hu-
manity dedicated to the perfec-
ton of the human race and its ad-
herence to the standards of the
Almighty:

of alfalfa, is not desirable. Many feed
ers and dairymen have learned by ex-
perience to recognize quality. Generally
speaking high quality is associated with
good green hay in which the stems are
not coarse and most of the leaves are
still clinging to the stem. The hay
should have a soft and pliable feel.
To show furth n the effect of
grade of hay, another experiment is
cited in which two grades of alfalfa
hay, No. and No. 8, were fed to grow
ing dairy heifers to show the effect
upon body gain in weight. The heifers
fed the No. l grade hay consumed
greater amounts daily and made great
er daily gains in body weight. (Table 81.
These two experiments show that
both cows and young growing stock
will consume more hay if it is of high
grade and of good quality than they
will if the hay is of lower grade and
inferior in quality.
Ensiling FOrages
Ensiling forage and grass crops Of
fers an opportunity to the livestock
raiser to preserve the crops of his fields
and meadows more efficiently. 1t is a
method of preserving the crop that can
be carried out under many adverse
weather conditions and affords an
added measure of assurance that his
winters supply of roughage will be of
good quality.
Experiments have shown that ensil-
ing crop such as alfalfa has resulted
in less loss of dry matter, nutrients
and carotene when compared to field
curing the crop. The results obtained
in the experiment cited are shown in
table 6.
A large variety of grasses and le-
gunes can be made into silage Forage
crops in general that are palatable and
nutritious when fed green or as cured
hay will also be palatable and nutritious
when made into good silage. Ensiling
can be successfully carried out in
trenches below the surface of the ground
or in stacks above ground if conven-
tional, upright silo is not available.
1t should be mentioned, however, that
a greater or lesser percentage of loss
will be had when one type of silo is
compared to another. Usually great
er loss of nutrients takes place when a
stack type of ensiling is carried out
above ground as compared to either the
trench or upright types.
SiIage Losses
Upright silos usually have about a
10 per cent loss; trench Silos about 20
per cent and stack silos run as high as
80 per cent. Usually the loss is due to
Spoilage on top of the crop and any
procedure that can be carried out that
will reduce the spoilage will mean extra
dollars from the crop.
In feeding trials at Huntley, grass
silage produced milk and butterfat
equally as well as did good quality al
falfa hay when fed as the sole ration Il
milk COWS. However, it should be borne
in mind that when dairy cattle are fec
roughage only, the production will b.
approximately only two-thirds as grea
| as when a full feed Of grain is feC

Bladensburg Defense Heights,
Largo and Andrews Air Force
Base.
The communities, as defined
by the master plan. usually have
5000 to 10000 persons. a COM
munity shopping center. a junior
high school and a community
name.
AS an example, the plan lists
five communities in the Seat
Pleasant planning area - Kent,
Palmer Park, Randolph Village,
Seat Pleasant and Paramount
Heights.
A neighborhood. the plan says,
has 500 to 5000 persons, a small
group of stores, an elementary
school, a neighborhood play
group and is "a closely knit social
and economic group"
In the Kent community, listed
in the Seat Pleasant planning
area, there are five neighbor-

Only one-the Takoma Park

both counties.
Montgomery County got kind
words in the Commissions pre-
liminary master plan for develop
ment of a comprehensive park
system with 80 local parks.
Prince Georges County's Is
local parks are not enough, the
plan says.
The plan also proposes as a
park "all or most of the 1900
acre tract now owned by the
Federal Government. situated
south of Greenbelt road between
the Baltimore Washington park
way and Edmonston road"
The present boundaries of the
Planning Commission make it
impossible for the acquisition of
park land to keep up with the
expanding urban area and re-
sulting school land acquisition,
the plan states. It recommends
that the Metropolitan District
line be pushed out to include the
upper reaches of the Rock Greek
Valley in Montgomery County
and the Henson Creek and Oxon
Run Watersheds in Prince
Georges County"
