LIFE IN

Grass Farmer Succeeds in Texas
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD

have learned something
about worn-out land, and the
expense involved in bringing II
back to q state Of fertility.
know that it is costly, even or
a small scale. but I also know
that it gives you a thrill to look
over a field that once was q
bramble patch and see instead
q deep carpet Of grass.
When you multiply the few
acres in my experience by sew
|eral thousands. then you can get
something Of an idea Of the Job
that confronted Charles Petit
when he started out to renovate
his 17,0O0-acre Flat Top Ranch
in Texas.
1t Is all told in Flat Top
Ranch, The Story of a Grass
land Venture" book edited by
B. w. Alfred and J. c. Dykes and
published at 81 by the Univer-
|sity Of Oklahoma Press. Both
Mr.. Alfred and Mr.. Dykes are
members Of the staff of the
Soil Conservation Service OF
the Agriculture Department in
Washington. The book contains
two chapters written by the late
Louis Bromf1eld. and probably
the last agricultural writing by
the Ohio author Of Pleasant
Valley"
Like many men Of my ac-
quaintance who have purchased
and restored worn-out farms.
Mr.. Petit is a successful busi-
nessman, and approached the
problem Of ranch restoration
with a full pocketbook.
Unlike some, however, It seems
from the report in Flat Ton
Ranch" that he has built upon
q solid economic foundation and
has not used his ranching venture
purely as q tax write-of scheme.
He has followed a sound breed
ing program in developing his
herd Of purebred Herefords, and
even during the Texas drought
years. Flat Top Ranch has
steadily shown a profit.

plants it may be desirable to

1t will soon be time to fertilize

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

tScraDbOOk filing date. June -
Parts Of the Washington area
. are In need Of q good soaking
rain If the lawns are to be green.
Flowers and vegetables need
moisture and. Of course. they
. must be watered II that is pos
sible. There are areas where the
rainfall has been ample, so the
soil Is moist and grass cutting
. is the order Of the day.
Plant More Animals
There is still plenty Of plant
ing to be done. Not only is it
still possible to SOW seed Of the
ANIMALS and raise plants for fall
bloom. but we can still plant
chrysanthemums, glads, Ismene
lilies and cannas for fall bloom.
The vegetable gardener does not
have so many opportunities be-
cause at this season there is
little more planting except for
snap beans and sweet corn to
provide q continuous harvest.
Bad Year for Insects
Insect pests have been un-
usually bad this spring and it
viii take a regular spray or dust
ing program to bring them UNI
der control. Aphids and thrips
have multiplied until they are a
real problem. 1t takes three ap-
plications at weekly intervals to
bring them under control. The
chewing insects also are bad but
one or two thorough applications
Of malathion methoxychlor
should reduce the injury they
have been causing. Most of the
all : purpose mixtures contain
materials to curb both the suck
ing and the chewing insects.
Pinch NUNS for Branching
If the chrySanthemums are
large enough they should be
given q second pinching in order
to force them to branch. Even
the disbuds usually need this
second pinching. although the
cushion type does not. If the
pinching produces a tip 3 or a
inches long it may be rooted in
sand and planted for late bloom.
Mulch, Mulch, Mulch
Now is the time to spread
mulch on all the beds for which
1t Is available. The more mulch
ing the less watering, weed pull
ing and hoeing will be needed to
keep the garden in good condi-
ton.
Azalea Pruning
II pruning is needed to i'm
prove the shape Of the azalea, or
to keep them within bounds, now
Is the time to do 1t. To delay
pruning is to remove flower buds.
Iris Need Good Beds
II the iris clumps have not
been disturbed for 4 or S years
they are probably In need Of
attention. Iris are heavy feeders
and soon exhaust the soil, So
for continued good growth and
quality bloom life, divide and re-
plant In well prepared soil.
Daylilies oftsntimes outgrow
their situation and must be lifted
and divided. However, If there
is plenty Of space and they are
not crowding other plants this
practice is not necessary.

Meat And Tractor
Projects Aiding
|4-h Members Here

Thousands of All boys and girls
in Ohio are learning the better
way to handle farm animals and
farm machines, according to the
State Extension Service. They
learn the economic factors, as well
as safe tested methods in caring
for cattle, hogs, sheep, and the
family tractor.
The All meat animal program
now in its 28th year-gives rural
youth firsthand knowledge of
breeding, feeding and marketing.
Members earn demonstration
techniques, how to show animals,
while many become expert judges.
They show their animals in coun-
ty and state fairs, and also act as
judges.
The 4-H tractor program has
helped a half million club men,
bers throughout the country, and
about 10000 local club leaders end
Extension workers have been
trained Now in its 18th year, the
program is set up to teach effici-
ent use of tractors and other farm
machinery Skill in operation and
proper care also are taught.
Superior achievement is reward

Madison Farmers
Watching Action
On New Milk Bill

Madison County dairy farmers
are much concerned with the milk
bill now being heard before the
Senate Agriculture Committee.
Milk dumping in Ohio's smaller
cities would be blocked by the dali
ry bill now before the 102nd Gen.
eral Assembly, Morris E. Alton of
the Ohio Farm Bureau told the
Senate Agriculture Committee here
today.
The bill that passed the House of
Representatives with only one vote
to spare is designed to give milk
producers for small cities and
towns the same marketing protec-
ton the federal government al
ready gives to milk suppliers of all
of Ohio's big cities.
Alton said Amended Sub. H.B.
167 was passed by the House to
protect the milk market of 1870 of
Ohio's more than 1000 dairymen
who are not now under federal
marketing controls.
These suppliers to the smaller
markets produce more than AZ mil
lion pounds of milk a month; yet
they constantly face the danger of
having their markets upset by
somebody who wants to dump
large supplies of milk in their mar
kets at a cut price," Alton said.
This dumped milk never brings
any lower prices to the housewives
but it does cut down the farmers S
take-home pay for the milk he
SELLS"
Alton termed ridiculous" the
claim that the bill would increase
the cost of milk from 3 to S cents
a quart to the consumer.
"As passed by the House, the bill
calls for the milk producers and
the dealers each to pay u cent per
cwt. to cover the cost of admins
tering the law. The 1a cent levy for
administration cost could not pos
sibly result in any higher prices to
people who buy the milk. In fact,
since there are as II quarts in one
hundred pounds of milk it would
require SO quarts of milk to equal
one cent for the cost of administer
ing this program" Alton told the
The bill was amended in the
House to take out the basis of
claims that it would put Ohio milk
producers under a ''czar." Alton
said that authority is now divided
between the Chief of the new divi-
sion in the Department of Agricul-
ture and an advisory board. The
Chief would be limited in his ac-
tons by the Ohio Administrative
Procedure Act which controls the
activities of all other Chiefs of
various department divisions.
The dairy farmers who produce
milk for Ohio need the protection
his bin can give" the Farm Bur-
EAU leader said. Il
