Complex Concentrate
Mixtures Likely Not
Needed By Cows

Dor't worry too much about the
vast array of complex grain mix
lures on the market for dairy cows.
They II do just as well on simple
grain mixtures, or even OH single
grains. according to most research.
DR.. w. A. Harrison, dairy scien-
tist at VPI, says there are many
reasons for the wide variety Of
dairy feed mixtures. None Of the
reasons, however. justify spending
lot of money for complex feed
mixtures If plenty Of high quality
forage is available.
In work conducted at the Ohio
Experiment Station, there were no
differ ances ii rate Of grain con-
stump ion or milk production when

Recently M len igan scientists
founc that cows fed oats as the
only grain produced 433 pounds
more milk on . pounds less supple
men: than did cows receiving a
mixture of wheat corn, and oats.
Likewise, u s. Department of
Agriculture researchers have found
that single grains produce just as
good results as variety Of mixed
rations when fed as supplements to
good quality alfalfa hay and corn
silage.
Do complex grain mixtures have
an advantage when only loWquality
fcraoes are Available for feeding ::
Dr.. Iardison says the complete
answer to this question must await
additional research However, in a
ten-Week test at the North Carolina
Experiment Station cottOnseed-
corn meal ration was compared
with a mixture Of corn. oats. wheat
bran and five high-protein feeds as
supplements to poor quality timothy
hay fed free choice. No differences

SpitbaI| Back,
Phi||ey Says;
Accuses Two

CINCINNATI, April Is (AP).
The 1859 major league base
ball season is only a week old
but already the spitball con-
troversy is back i nthe news,
this time with new names-Don
Newcombe of Cincinnati and
Early Wynn of the White Sox.
Newcombe and Wynn were
linked with using the illegal
pitch by Dave Philley, the
pinch-hitter superb of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Furthermore, Philley said in
an interview yesterday, plenty
of pitchers use the spitball and
the umpires take no action to
stop it.
Others Complain
Philley also renewed accu-
sationS that Lew Burdette of
the Braves pitches the pitch.
Referring to a pinch-hit
double he banged off Burdette
earlier this week, Philley said:
He threw me a splitter. It's
nothing new. Willie Jones and
Richie AShburn had been COM
planning all day about the spit
ter. The jumps will never do
anything about it.
Plenty of pitchers use it.
Don Newcombe has one. Early
Wynn has a beauty. Burdette
throws at least one every two
pitches"
Philley, a 38-year-old out
fielder, said he studies and
memories pitchers throwing
habits.
Now Reads Pitchers
when I first came to the
Phils after is years in the
American League, I didn't get
a hit my first IL times at bat, |"
IPhilley recalled, adding:
Know why? I hadn't be-
gun to read the pitchers in
this league. Now I have my
own book on plenty of them.
u can read them clear as a
comic strip"
How does Philley read the
pitchers?
Rudy York taught me- he
explained. There are tipoffs
you look for-how a pitcher
holds the ball, the wrist mo-
ton he uses at the start Of the
windup, and how he swings
his arms over his head"
Did Philley read Burdette
when he banged out the dou-
BILE?
II can't tell you," he an
swered. Then he grinned and
added:
Il will say the pitch was
where I wanted it--and friend,
it was as wet as a bottle of
beer"
