Beef Feeding Tips

Beef cattle in Virginiah have

Curtis Mast, animal husbandman
for the VPI Agricultural Extension
Service. says that never before
have Virginia cattle come through
in such fine condition, both COW
herds and steers.
Now. however. there is the pcren-
NAL problem of getting the cattle
to eat during the last three weeks
or 50 before the grass is high
enough to Craze. Whatever you do.
Mast advises. don't let the cattle
lose weight running around over
the pasture looking for grass. Put
them in a dry lot. o in a very
small field which has a little grass
in it. They will then keep on eating
plenty Of winter feed until the grass
is ready.
It's also time to select the heifer
calves YOU are going to save this
fall. Keep the helfer calves from
the cows which have done the best
job in the herd. Sort them out when
they are the right age and vacci-
nate them for Bangs disease. Don't
save any heifers for requirements
except the very best ones. Gull out
the COWS which are poor mixers.

defects.
Mast also reminds steer graZers
that one II mig. stilbestrof implant
used at turning-out-time will mean
about So extra pounds of gain dur
ing the grazing season. Don't give
a larger dose. or you'll run the
danger Of side effects and lower
quality.

Excellent Weed
Control In Corn

Excellent control Of annual
grasses and broadleaved weeds in
corn has been attained with sima-
yin in tests conducted by VPI Ag-
rlcultural Experiment Station. and
the material shows ND this wear

recommendations for Virginia.
However. DR.. G.. NJ. Shear. plant
p~hysiologist at the station, says the
material may be too expensive for
widespread use by growers Of field
corn. Sweet corn growers. on the
other hand. can usually afford to
spend q little more in producing
their crop.
Slmazin is a pre-emergence spray
and should be applied at the time
OF planting at the rate Of one and
one-half pounds per acre. Research
ers in other states where work has
been done with the material are
suggesting higher rates, but on
most Virginia soils one and one-half
pounds IS about right. DR.. Shear
says. It can be used in band ap-
pllcations instead Of overall ap-
plications to reduce the cost.
The use Of proper chemicals to
control weeds in corn can generally
save the time. trouble. and cost in
volved in making two civilizations,
DR.. Shear said.
The Virginia trials have been
concerned with field corn. However
U. S. Department of Agriculture
tests have shown equally good re-
suits with pre-emergence simazin
sprays on sweet corn.
DR.. Shear said Virginia tests are
continuing with simazin, and with
other materials, at least one of

sidney Saul Of Brooklyn. q
former jukebox owner, weep
ineiy told the Senate Labor
Rackets Committee today Of
threats and a beating he re-
ceived from persons who wanted
part Of his business.
OF the beating. he said: i
pleaded with him. but he kept
on beating me. And while he
was beating me. the other fell
low kept asking me to make
him o partner In my business
and kept asking for $500. He
said $500 was cheaper than a
new set Of teeth"
Mr.. Saul, now a salesman,
told the committee he had
bought q route" Of jukeboxes
and pinball games in New York
City in 1854. In 1857, he said,
three men with criminal rec
ords demanded to be taken into
his business. His life was
threatened and then he was
beaten numerically in a public
restaurant in Brooklyn when he
refused their demands.
After the beating, he said, he
agreed to cut the ex-convicts
in, but instead he went to the
district attorney. The three
men are awaiting trial on
charges stemming from the
beating, according to Commit
tee Counsel Robert F. Kennedy.
The committee is Investigate
ing racketeering in the luke
box industry and phony labor
unions said to be preying on
that industry.
Tells Of Troubles
Mr.. Saul, detailing his trou-
hles, said:
After he had been running
his route peacefully for two
and-one-half years. Ernest Fill
ocomo, alias Ernie Kippy,
threatened to kill him and
"leaye my body lying in Belt
parkway"
Filocomo, convicted five times
for such crimes as burglary
and assault, according to Mr..
Kennedy, told Mr.. Saul that
one Of the juke box locations
belonged to him.
Filocomo, the testimony con-
tinued, took Mr.. Saul to Law
renee Gallo. a power, according
to Mr.. Kennedy, in a coin ma
chine operators association and
various unions in that field.
Gallo, according to Mr.. Saul,
claimed the juke box location in
question belonged to him and
demanded that Mr.. Saul be-
come q partner in his whole
route with Gallo. When he de-
clined, Filocomo again threat
ened his life. Mr.. Saul said.
Some time later Filocomo

said. Filocome started beating
him. During the meeting the
other two continued 10 demand
money and q partnership.
Customers in the restaurant,
Mr.. Saul said, paid no atten-
ton.
Money Demand Cut
The beating was interrupted
once for coffee all around and
more demands by the ex-con-
victs, Mr.. Saul testified. Then,
he said, Filocomo started hit
ting him again and shouted
negotiations continued. The
demand for money was reduced
to $500, Mr.. Saul said.
After pleading In vain for
the men to stop, Mr.. Saul
finally agreed TO the partner

Mr.. Saul went to the district
attorney and made formal
charges against the three men,
He said he has been under

time.
The men were tried once,
according to Mr.. Kennedy, but

Another trial is. scheduled.
