Rotation Grozing
For Good Pasture

A sound system of rotation graz
ing is generally the most efficient
method of utilizing high producing
grass-legume mixtures, according
to Assoc. County Agent Ed Ralph.
He says that in recent studies
conducted by DR.. John B. Washko
of the Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity. a mixture of alfalfa and S-37
orchardgrass graZed under a rota-
tion system gave the top results.
This mixture persisted for 5 graz
ing years.
Other good mixtures included
birdsfoot trefoil. timothy, and blue
grass; and birdsfoot trefoil-r
canarygrass. Ladino clover orchard
grass and ladino clover bromegrass
mixtures also gave good results.
These mixtures gave best results
when grown on soil with high
moisture holding capacity. In Wash
kos studies, he was able to Craze
the equivalent of 80 animal units
for a full season on 20 acres of
well fertilized legume grass mix
lures. plus acres OF sudan grass
for supplemental summer pasture
For most efficient utilization OF
forage by rotational grazing. Ralph
says at least 5 or pastures of
similar size should be available.
Thus. for a 80 COW herd. improved
plots OF 4 to acres each, would
be excellent. Each pasture should
contain a variety of grasses that
reach pasture stage at different
dates TO assure plenty of forage
through the year Surplus early
spring pasture can be ensiled for
supplemental midsummer feed.

Sen. III. E. Mayhem
Praises Milford
continued from page one)


Senator Mayhem said: Milford
offers an eye-pleasing blend of an
historic past and prosperous
present that. by its very nature,
foretells a promising future. From
its beginnings as a site of mills
and a river crossing or ford
(hence. its name). Milford has
been an industrial and trading
center of lower Delaware. The
gristmills. sawmills and shipyards
of an earlier period have been re-
placed by small modern plants
that have helped maintain a stable
economy.
while Milford has not expert
enced the spectacular growth that,
during the past decade. has doub-
led or tripled the population of
some upstate communities, its
growth has been consistent and the
needs Of a gradually expanding
community have been met without
confusion or fanfare.
Dwellings. in a variety of arch
itectural styles. facing wide tree
lined avenues and streets, depict
Milford's ties with the past and
form the basis for Milford's claim
that it is a city noted, now and in
the past, for gracious living. Well
stocked stores and busy plants are
indicative of the community's po-
sition in the business and indus
trial life of a widespread area COW
ering most of Sussex County and
the lower half of Kent County. The
beauty of yards and gardens gives
credence to the claim of the Cham
ber OF Commerce that Milford is
truly the Garden City of Twin
Counties'."

bringing up baby
Hints collected
BY Mrs. Dan GerbeT,
Mother of S
II your baby is going through

II your baby is going through
a particularly fussy period due to
teething, it's best to delay starting new
foods until he's his own cheerful self
again. He might take a dislike to a
food that may be hard to overcome.
Help in the soothing department
comes in the shape of Gerber Teething
Biscuits. Extra-hard, waffle-surfaced,
they provide the biting satisfaction
baby wants and needs. Scalloped edges
for easy grasping.
Favcrite foods are your best bets
when baby has teething trouble. You
can encourage baby to eat more with
delicious Gerber dishes like these:
Gerber Dinners - garden-good
vegetables blended with meat. Gerber
High Meat Dinners - with 3 times as
much meat as the Dinners and
therefore much more protein. Vegetables
are added for unusual flavor interest.
And for lots of high quality protein"
plus valuable vitamins and minerals -
Gerber Meats for Babies - 1907
selected Armour meat. P.S. All 3 of these
Gerber varieties now come with the
convenient Quick Twist caps. 'rn e.e
Armour Meat Protein is complete
protein, supplying all the essential
amino acids that NJ
build and rebuild H;EIIIG 80
vital body tissues. kNe1'
Evening star., 1961-05-21

welcome plenty of cooling sips of
Gerber Fruit Juices. So soothing to
tender gums.
About the time teething begins,
noticeable coordination usually begins.
Naturally all babies do not follow this
pattern, individualists that they are.)
Coordination tends to come to active
babies sooner than placid ones.
However, if active babies acquire skills
faster, it's probably because they
make a greater effort.
Active or placid babies need plenty of
protein for strength and muscle
development. Besides the aforementioned
meat dishes Gerber Egg Yolks
offer a good source of protein, plus iron
and vitamin A. A delicate, fresh-egg
flavor and dreamy, creamy texture
make for downright delectable eating.
Here at Gerber we carefully
prepare over 100 cereals, strained
and junior foods to meet your
baby's nutritional needs. We're
proud to say:
BABIES are our business -.
our only business!"' 80

Milking the Customers

ID RITISH housewives with yen to
ID try their luck on the ponies now
can place their bets in their empty
milk bottles, and pick up their win
nings, if any. with the next delivery.
BY a quirk in the new gaming laws
passed by Parliament. the milkman
can take bets as he makes his rounds,
but he must turn them over to IL
cenSed bookmaker.
The law says that nobody can So
licit bets or loiter on the streets to col
lect them, but the milkman escapes
both these stipulationS. He naturally
keeps on the 60, with the advantage of
early morning hours, SO that bet slips
can be delivered before race time.
Although the law has only recent
ly gone into effect, outcries are al
ready resounding Besides husbands
who are worried about the grocery
money going to the milkman, various
church and civic dignitaries see the
milk-betting run as undermining the
home The law puts low limit on the
size Of wagers placed this way, and
licensing to handle them is carefully
watched, but anxious social workers
fear the worst. The direct result, they
fear, will be lot of unpaid milk bills.

Woshed-Up' Sneod Aiming
At Thot Familiar Old orqet

II have to qualify first,
though" Snead reminded.
The slammer plans to try to
qualify in Detroit June 6. He
shudders when he recalls what
happened to him two years ago
during the qualifying trial in
Washington. D. c. There he
just did get under the wire with
a l42-and had to can a l2-
foot putt at that to keep from
going into a playoff for an Open
berth.
Oakland Hills holds a special
place in Snead'S memories. 1t
was there in 1887 that he first
leaped into national promi-
nence. He finished with a 283
in the National Open there that
year and was being congratu-
lated for winning it when along
came Ralph Guldahl, who got
hot on the last l8 holes, with
a 28l.
That was the beginning OF
his never-ending chase for the
Open championship-the one
major golf title which has
eluded Sam.
Some people say I've beer
washed up since 1889" Snead
declared.
Snead, for a man supposed
Evening star., 1961-05-22

to have been washed up, has
done rather well. He's won
more tournaments and more
money in golf than anyone else.
1O9th Tourney Victory
His victory in the Tourna-
ment of Champions at Las
Vegas earlier this month made
him the oldest pro to ever win
a major golf title. His victory
here yesterday marked his l09th
tournament title.
Snead led all the way during
the four day. 72-hole tourna-
ment. He finished with a 266
IA under par-for his sixth
Festival victory.
One stroke behind was Stan
Leonard. the Canadian making
his first appearance in the
tournament,
