Sudan Grass Should
Be GraZed
Rotationally


Rotatonal grazing will help as
sure top yields Of sudan grass and
pearl millet, says Dudley L. Peery
Prince Edward county agricultural
agent
He says to let sudan grass reach
a height Of Is inches or more be-
fore grazing. Craze down to a
height Of six to eight inches. then
remove the animals and let h G
grass grow again to 10 inches be-
fore grazing again. Pearl millet
can be grazed at lower height
without danger to the grazing ami
mails because it contains no prus-
sic acid. However, let either crop
ecover to the l3-inch height if you
want high yields.
Still higher yields can be expected
if the sudan grass or pearl millet
grows taller than 10 inches before
grazing However. begin grazing
oefore the crops become too coarse
usually not over a height of "a to
30 inches. If either sudan grass or
pearl millet approaches or reaches
maturity before grazing or harvest
ing. it won't recover as well as it
should.
Strip grazing or restricting the
area to be grazed to that needed
for two to three days grazing will
result in less waste by trampling.
Both sudan grass and pearl millet
are excellent for zero grazing"

CPvt. Lyons knew of the
trucks proper destination, or
the route to be followed in order
to reach it," Judge Homer Fer
guSon wrote in the opinion re-
versing the conviction.
"On the contrary, it appears
that he knew neither where
coffee was normally shipped
nor the location of the Army's
main supply area for Korea. "
2 Others Convicted
Judge Ferguson added that
the facts in this case "estab-
lished little more than suspi-
sion and conjecture concerning
larceny or any of its lesser

The record of Pvt. Lyons

truck dispatcher was convicted

Pvt. Lyons was assigned il
May, 1858, as a guard on a

Testimony also showed that
during the course Of a l7-mile
detour the truck stopped and
several Korean trucks drove ur

Army vehicle.

convicted yesterday of man
slaughter in the fatal shooting
of an Air Force staff sergeant

pering with his automobile.

charge of first degree murder.
District Judge Alexander Holt

The jury deliberated more than
seven hours in finding Turpin
guilty on the lesser charge OF
manSlaughter. Assistant United

uty prosecuted the case.
Judge Holtzoff referred the
case to the probation officer
/ for investigation pending SEN
tence, for which no date was
set. The maximum possible

/ prison term of from 5 to Is
years.

viction. Judge Holtzoff turned
down a defense motion to lei

fense attorney William B
Bryant contended that his

believing the sergeant had a
gun. According to defense testi-
mony, Turpin had obtained the
gun he had for his wife fol
protection.
Sergt. Buckson had fired 6
shot from a pistol earlier wher
he thought some youths were
tampering with his automobile
according to testimony. The

Laos Symbol of Freedom

piles Democratic Republic"
This was not possible in
South Korea because Of the
almost instantaneous action
Of President Truman who or.
dered our supre me COM
mander in the Pacific, Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. to go to
the rescue Of the RoKs, thus
placing an accomplished fact
before the United Nations
Security Council from which
Russia was absent at the
time. This is not the way
President Eisenhower OPP
crates. Neither have we at
this time the forces available
for such a move. Laos Is
landlocked and the Navy
which normally could pro-
vide the fast action against
aggression cannot operate.
There have been Disagree
ments In the last few days
among high Government
officials in Washington over
the advisability OF sticking
our necks out for a country
of a few million people who
do not seem to be in a posi-
ton to defend their own soil
against what is described as
a handful of well-armed
guerrillas. This. however, is
not the case. 1t is not only
the freedom of Laos which is
involved. 1t is the whole
Southeast Asian area. II
Laos falls into Communist
hands the turn Of Thailand
and Wet Nam will come
soon. There are strong Com
munist elements operating in
both of those countries-coun-
tries which rely on the
United States more than on
in irrational organizations
tc preserve their freedom.
Laos, according to policy;
makers in the State Depart
ment and Pentagon. may be
an insignificant little coun-
try. But the consequences Of
It's fall to the Communists
would have far-reaching re-,
suits for the free world.

which may lead this country
to serious involvement in
