Most cows suffer from ''hol-
low BELLY" They just don't get
enough to eat. On the other
hand, some cows are Overfed.
This may be true particularly
during the dry period when a
lot of grain is fed to get cows
in heavy flesh.
Putting a lot of fat on the
dairy cow before calving may
be very expensive, w. R. Hes
seltine, Extension dairy special
ist, University of Delaware says,
Here's why:
A COW is most efficient when
she is eating just what she
needs each day. The energy in
that feed then goes directly into
milk, growth, and body main
tenance.
If you feed more than she
needs, the COW will convert feed
energy into fat and store it as
body fat. There is a loss of
energy when feed is converted
to body fat.
Energy Costs Money
And body fat doesn't just lie
there; it's always being used
and replaced by other fat. This
turnover of fat takes energy,
too, and energy costs money,
Hesseltine said.
Then, after calving, the COW
must convert these body re-
serves into milk. Of course this
Smyrna times., 1959-11-05

COW needs it. And she needs
it most in these first months
after calving. She'll then con-
vert this energy directly into
milk.
An economical plan is to feed
cows all the roughages they'll
eat all the time. A month be-
fore drying off time, note the
condition of the COW, looking
ahead to the next lactation.
If she's real thin and still
milking well, she'll need more
grain. A couple of extra pounds
a day should do the job. She
may need four to five pounds
day the next month. The
amount to feed the last six
weeks is a matter of judgement.
A COW even in fair condition
need little or no grain until
three months before calving may
need little or no grain until
three weeks before calving.
Four or five pounds day should
be enough.
Three hundred pounds of
grain fed during early lactation
may do just as much work as
500 pounds two or three months
before calving, Desseltine said.
"Bet you can't think of a
better way to save $500 cav
this year!"

Census Workers
Begin Contacts
In Coming Week

Field work in the 1859 Gen.
sus of Agriculture gets under
way locally on Nov. IL, when a
force of census takers will start
visiting every farm in the area,
it was announced today by Field
Director John G. Gibson of the
Census Bureaus regional Office
at Philadelphia. Farm census
questionnaires have been mailed
to all farm operators. The cen
sus takers will visit all local
farms to collect the question
naires and, if necessary, assist
the farmer in filling out the re-
port form. The 1859 Census of
Agriculture is the 18th in SER
les of nationwide farm canvass
es, the first of which was con-
Quoted in 1910. The Census of
Agriculture is taken at five
year intervals to provide up-to-
date S t a ii S t C a information
about the nearly five million
farms which supply food and
raw materials for manufacture
of goods used by the people of
the United States, now number
ing about l78 million. The cur
rent census will yield informa-
ton on the number and size of
farms, acreage and harvest of
crops, livestock production and
inventories, selected farm facili-
ties and equipment and selected
farm expenditures. The field di-
rector emphasized that all in
formation about individuals and
their farm operations furnished
to the Census Bureau is held in
absolute confidence under Fed
eral law. 1t is used only to pro-
vide summary figures such as
totals, averages, and percent
ages. The information on an in
dividual report cannot be furn-
ished to any one other than
sworn Census employees and
thus cannot be used for investi-
cation, taxation, or regulation.

Hearings On Arctic WildlIfe Range Pending Before Congress Committee

Hearings began last week in the House and Senate on legislation 10 establish the Arctic WildliSe Range in northeastern Alaska with Subcommittees of the House Mer- chant and Fisheries Committee and the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee taking testi- mony from Interior Department officials and representatives of a number of conservation groups in favor of the measure.
 Sen. Gruening testified in op- position to the legislation affect ing approximately 8,8O0,OOO acres, stating his belief that ''this pro- posed legislation is not only un- necessary, but detrimental to the State of Alaska"
 The hearings brought out, ac- cording to Sen. Bartlett's News letter, that 7,833, ,155 acres are now reserved in Alaska for wildlife refuge ana reiatea purposes and that tk.3 8,80O,O0O acres contem- plated for the refuge in north eastern Alaska compares with the 10,088,017 acres reserved in the

entire other 48 States for wildlife and fishery purposes.
 Sen. Bartlett, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee expressed the hope that something might be worked out to establish the range on smaller scale. The withdraw alS of public land in Alaska will affect the matching money which the state will have to put up for federal highway fund allocations as the federalState allocations are based on the amount of unreServed, unappropriated land. This would increase the financial burden to the state of approximately $3OO,- 900.
 Sen. Gruening'S contention is that the Federal government has already withdrawn enOrmou S amounts of land from Alaska. He said such withdrawals amounted to some 912 million acres of land.
 The Senator expressed the be- lief that Alaska now provides for the nation its fair share of wildlife refuges and other a42as in which wildiife is protected. He listed

wildlife refuges and national parks in Alaska as amounting to 14,744,- 674 acres.

Fixed Route For AIeutian MaiIboat

Hearings were conducted earlier this week in the House and Senate on s Bill No. 1849, the Aleutian mailboat bill, which had been in- troduced by Senators Gruening and Bartlett.
 The bill received a hearing be- fore the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee Wednes- day. It would amend contracting authority of the postmaster gen.

eral to provide that in letting con- tracts for the transportation of mail throughout the Aleutian Is- lands, operators of steamboats or other powerboats to which con- tracts are awarded will be restrict ed to the route prescribed by law.
 Sen. Gruening stated: "Exper- fence has amply demonstrated that, because of the distances in volved and the weather conditions

encountered, regularity of mas delivery to the residents of the Aleutians can only be insured Ii a vessel is dedicated exclusively tc such service. If additional stops are included on the vessels itineT- ary there can be no assurance that schedules will be maintained or that all communities which must be served will he reached twice a month"

Kitchen Accidents

Scalds and burns rank high
among kitchen accidents, reports
Miss Patricia A. Middleton, home
management specialist at the I'm
iversity of Delaware. Here are a
few precautions that can help you
prevent household tragedies.
Try to keep children out of the
line of traffic while you are work
ing in the kitchen. A gate at the
kitchen door will keep small chill
dren out and reduce risks while
you're using hot water or fat for
cooking, Miss Middleton said.
Make it habit to turn handles
of all pots and pans toward the
back of the range or table; never
let them extend over the edge for
children to pull off.
Be careful where you put cleo
trical equipment. A cord dangling

This may be a good winter
to store soybeans for sale next
spring or summer, according to
w. T. McAllister, extension ag-
ricultural economist with the
University of Delaware.
A 1859 production cutback
in national production should
help to keep prices above the
$l.80-per-bushel support level in
the next crop year, McAllister
said.
Supply and demand condi-
tions indicate larger price in
crease this winter than we have
had during the last three years, T"
he said.
McAllister thinks that prices
should go up more than enough
to pay storage costs between
harvest and next May or June.
Recent research shows that
farm soybean storage for nine
months costs about IL to Is
cents per bushel. This charge
includes handling costs, interest
on the soybeans while in stor-
age, taxes, insurance and quail
ity loss in storage.
A recent nationwide report
by the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture Crop Reporting Ser
vice, estimated this years soy
bean crop at 532 million BUSH

The support price in Delaware
dropped from $2.04 to $l.80 per
