Calves Need Plenty OF
Space For Best Results

County Agent William H. Hem
derson says Too often young liairy
stock and especially small calves
do not get enough or the right
kind of pen space. IF space is ann
pie, it may be poorly located. The
same general rules apply il pro-
viding space for young stock
whether a loose housing system.
a stall barn, or some combination
of both is used for the dairy.
The important things to reinem-
ber are:
ID Sufficient sheltered space,
CD Proper location, 90 Proper
ventilation, f4) Ease in keeping
clean and sanitary, CD Protection
from drafts, (6) Convenience in
moving calves in and out of pens,
CD Convenience in feeding and
cleaning.
Pens in a stall barn can be sat-
isfactory, but many dairymen have
found that it pays to house young
stock separately because separate
housing promotes better health
and saves on building costs.
It is important that pens be lc-
Gated so that a minimum of time,
travel, and labor are required for
feeding, cleaning, and sanit3T '~s
operations In loose housing; al :
rangements, pens can be located
in the resting area of the barn. II
so. they should be located OH the
open side so they can get the VIM
ter sun, but the summer sun is
shielded from them the hottest
part of the day.
The pens can be of panel con-
struction so they can be easily
moved and the pen floors cleaned
with power equipment when the
rest of the barn is cleaned. Since
calves are confined to a small
space and cannot seek protected
areas free of drafts, it is important
that the pen walls be boarded up
tight to height of about Az feet
above the floor during cold weaT
ther.
Size of pens will vary according
to the size of calves. A satisfactory
way to determine pen size is to
allow 25 to 35 So. Fl. of area and
20 to 25 inches of manger space
per calf, depending on their size.
Calf raising is one of the most
important jobs on the dairy farm
Three heifer calves for each ten
cows in the herd should be raised
each year if the herd is to be main-
tanned at a high level of milk pro-
duction. Improvement of the dairy
herd is possible only when dis
carded cows are replaced by well
bred heifers that have been fed
and grown properly.

Elixir OF Life
Out of the Good Samaritan act OF
dairy at Allentown, Pa, a year
ago last August, has sprung the lat
est Civil Defense plan for insuring
supplies of safe drinking water TO
areas over the nation that may be
stricken by food, fire, hurricane,
tornado, earthquake, explosion or
drought.
When Hurricane Diane brought
torre tial rains that flooded
Stroudsburg, putting the local milk
plant out of action, along with all
other normal activities. the strick-
en- city called upon the Allentown
dairy 80 miles away, for milk car
tons to be used as water containers.
Elsewhere in previous disasters
and in carious New England com
munities inundated by Diane-nilk
companies had converted their tank
trucks into water wagons; but in
Allentown, the dairy not only sup
piled the needed cartons. but to
avoid possible contamination filled
them in it's own sanitary establish
ment. Drivers searched out a pass
able route through the wash outs,
and the water was trucked to
StroudsbUrg and distributed to the
flood victims.
Impressed with this efficient and
successful relief operation, officials
of the Federal Civil Defense Ad
ministration in a series of confer
ences with representatives of the
Milk Industry Foundation. the A
merican National Red Cross, the
u. S. Public Health Service, the
Department of Health, Eduaction
and Welfare and major suppliers of
the dairy industry, have now work
ed out a similar program nation
wide in scope.
Under this plan. the civil defense
director in any stricken commun-
ity would determine the need for
imported drinking water and the
amount required He would then
call upon the nearest dairies still
in operation-and who would be
prepared to package and ship this
vital commodity with minimum con-
fusion or delay. Two companies are
presently producing special cartons
that will distinguish emergency
water supplies from milk. Hand
stamps will also be made available
for use on regular milk containers
when necessary.
Thus, the whole nation should be
grateful to the Allentown milk
men who responded so nobly, swift
ly, intelligently and courageous
ly to cry for help that came so
Unexpectedly out of the night.

so shines a good deed in naughty

"One can find anything lin libra
ries) If one knows where to look
and applies oneself long enough"
SAYS Board Chairman Gilbert W.
Chapman of the newly-formed
Council on Library Resources. Inc.
"The trouble is that, as things now
stand, lifetime is scarcely long
enough.
This roadblock to science, learn
ing and progress-in-gener is one
that Mr.. Chapman and his associ-
ates on the Council hope to blast
their way through with the aid of
a five million, dollar grant from
the Ford Foundation. The National
Headquarters for the Council has
been established at 1925 Connec-
ticut Avenue. n. W., Washington,
ID. G.
Vernon w. Clapp, who resigned
as Chief Assistant Librarian of
the Library of Congress, in Wash
ton, to become president and exec
utive head of the Council, points
out that: Libraries constitute (.
the communal memory of mankind.
They are charged with maintaining
the organized record of human
experience. Having access to this
record, mankind can progress.
Lacking it, each generation would
be condemned to endless repetition
of the experiments of its ancestors" "
AS we understand the task fac
ing the Council, il is to find ways
and means of linking up all the
relevant bits of information and
documented experience TO be
found in the libraries of the nation
so it will be physically possible for
students and researchers to lay
hands on all the knowledge that
has ever been uttered on any given
subject Thus, it would seem we
are troubled and our progress
slowed down, not by any lack of
back ground, information but by
the vast quantities that are spread
around in so many repositories of
learning.
After a years study of the prob
lem, the Ford Foundation decided
there was no quick and easy solu-
tion, and accordingly made the five
million grant to cover five years
which may well be only the first
five years of this colossal job OF
coordination and correlation. But
the choice of Mr.. Chapman as
chairman. is doubtless a shrewd one.
As president of Yale & Towne his
services should be particularly
effective in unlocking the inner
most recesses of our vast but un-
integrated storehouses of know

Letter
CIean SMeen NoY. eth

Republicans and Democrats alike
will vote to keep America beautiful.
At least there's a "litterbug" plank
in both national platforms and both
major parties pledge themselves
as crusaders for "clean. attractive
surroundings.
The Republican platform says:
"We subscribe to the general OBJ
jectives of groups seeking to guard
the beauty of our land and to
promote clean attractive surround
ings throughout America"
The Democratic platform says:
ITO the end that the scenic beauty
of our land may be preserved and
maintained for this and future
generations to enjoy, we pledge ac-
CELEBRATED support OF educational
programs to stimulate individual
responsibility and pride in clean,
attractive surroundings-from big
cities to rural areas"
SO there you have it. Cleanliness
is definitely bipartisan. And, fur
ther, as every politician has been
given to understand-at both the
Chicago and San Francisco con-
Yentions-a tidy nation is the goal
of some 20 million voters .(and
prospective voters) These are the
members of more than 40 nom
profit civic and service organiza-
tions and over 100 leading business
firms and trade associations ire
presenting some so basic. indus
tries) that sponsor Keep America
Beautiful, Inc. The names of these
public-spirited institutions are set
forth in the permanent record of
each convention as dedicated to a
clean countryside as we'll as clean
government.
It would appear from here that
these planks will be the first to
challenge the mettle and the sin
cerity of both parties. The acid
test of honorable intentions will
come with Election Day-when the
job of cleaning up the tons of
campaign material and the tat
tered remnants of election posters
will be in order. And it may still
be a surprise to many of those
who have been so busily putting out
these flyers. dodgers. posters, tags,
stickers and hand bills that they are
also pledged to take them in again!
Whichever party wins. all of us
will have something to cheer about
as government local, state or ma
tional cooperate to help remove the
blight of litter from the American
scene
