producing dairy cows. Sometimes II IS
cheaper to buy this nutrient than to
produce it.
Price Comparisons
Barley and alfalfa hay generally have
high protein contents. Table ii gives
the cost of producing protein in these
crops, compared with the purchase
price of protein.
IL the cost of producing protein is .
little too high, there is an alternative
in producing. Both the protein and
phosphorus content of forage crops can
be increased with fertilizer. At the
Huntley Branch Station, Dan Baldridge,
agronomist, says the protein content
of grass was raised from Is TO Is per
cent with nitrogen fertilizer.
Livestock also need phosphorus. This
mineral is lacking in most sections of
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-05-15
Combinations Of Feed Crops
Provide Necessary Nutrients

Montana One of these is northwestern
Montana. There Superintendent Roath
applied 400 pounds of treble superphos-
phate prior to seeding alfalfa, alfalfa
with Orchardgrass and alfalfa with
br0negraSs.
This fertilizer nearly doubled the
total yield of phosphorus content OF
these crops which was enough OF this
mineral to satisfy livestock needs.
Fertilizer then, by increasing forage
yield, protein and phosphorus content
may make production of protein cheap
er than purchasing.
Since protein is required and alfalfa
generally has q high content OF this
nutrient, this is logical crop to grow
if protein is lacking. Even though al
faIfa has high protein content much
Of i gets lost before it is fed to cattle.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-05-15

MONTANA IS so richly endowed by
nature that its crops have all the nutri-
ents necessary for profitable livestock
feeding, says D. e. Baldridge, agrono-
mist for the Huntley Branch Station.
With O little ingenuity, man can add
even more nutrients.
Unfortunately, many Of the nutrients
taaat man and nature put into crops
are lost. In this case nature suddenly
changes from benefactOr to villain and
causes the losses. Here again the man
with ingenuity can overcome the
viIIainy
When 1t comes TO adding nutrients
most any farmer or rancher can do
50 simply by growing q combination
of nHtrient-rich crops. He knows the
average yields ne can expect on his
farnl- By comparing them with re-
search results he can select the crops,
that are adapted to his farm and that
produce the most Of the needed
nutrients.
Measuring Sticks
One measure of nutrients in a crop
Is the TDN (total digestible nutrients).
AS c. w. Roath. superintendent of the
Northwestern Montana Branch, points
out, the total yield, the TDN yield and
the net return per acre are good meas
uring sticks. IN Table Roath gives this
information for different yields of
three common crops.
This table shows corn silage with a
very high yield However this table
covers total digestible nutrients only.
Silage lacks certain other nutrients that
livestock need. Other crops have these
nutrients. Therefore this suggests that
. farmer should select combination
Of crops that together will produce the
highest yield in feed and Of nutrients
"a this particular farm.
Protein is necessary for livestock,
particularly young animals and high
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-05-15

Wet weather during haying affects
both yield and protein content. Any
time hay is put up too wet it may
burr, mold or have damaging bacterial
action.
AT the northwestern station Roath
says they harvest silage during cool
damp weather, and dry chopped hay
during warm dry weather with the
same machines in both cases.
There they use a mower and side
delivery rake or windr0wer, q forage
chopper with pickup attachment and a
forage wagon or dump truck. With ht-
tie adjustment the machines work
equally well for field chopped hay or
silage.
Roath says they cut small grain and
corn for silage and chop it directly into
the truck without willing.
''It is difficult to find a cheaper or
more efficient system than this, or one
better adapted to all crops and all
weather conditions, be says.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-05-15

There are two reasons for tlais-WntinAe-
" harvesting and improper storing
methods.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1961-05-15
Early Bssd Stage

Alfalfa has the highest protein con
tent when it IS in the bud or early
bloom stage. Cut it at that time and
the protein will be saved. unless Il II
stored improperly. Harvesting at the
right time saves leaves, color and
carotene, ROath says.
The method of cutting alfalfa also
affects the yield and protein content.
Roath illustrates this in the following
table:

BALTIMORE. Sept. s (AP).
Gov. Tawes' Commission on
Physical Fitness has chosen

physiques" to push trimneSs on
television.
Those named to tell TV
viewers about the commissions
plan to make Marylanders

Matousek.
The commission also decided
to hire William H. Shriver, jr..

year. That's two-thirds Of the
commissions budget.
The commission hopes to
persuade schools to provide Is
minutes of calisthenics daily.
A subcommittee was named
to devise an after-school pro-
gram to keep children away
from television sets.
The fitness group also agreed
to ask each city and county to

Reds Believed TESTING
Anti-MissiIe Missiles

Russian detonationS. The
fourth blast in the new Soviet
test series was touched off
yesterday. the Atomic Energy
Commission reported last night.
United States scientists have
been able to register their size
AS relatively small and to re-
port that at least one of the
shots reached a height of about
100000 feet in the atmosphere.
1t was reported, however. that
the President expects to have,
within five days. through in
telligence and scientific reports,
reasonably accurate informa-
ton on what the Russians are
up to.
There is some thought that
the Soviets may be trying out
a new system of decorating
their bombs. But the weight
of opinion is that they are seek
ing missile killer.
In this connection, some
members of Congress said it
was significant that Mr.. Ken
nedy has not committed him
self against the later resump-
ton of atmosphere tests. They
said such shots would be neces-
sary to determine the effective
ness of any anti-missile missile.

The prevailing opinion within
the Kennedy administra ton is
that the Soviet nuclear tests
are aimed at developing anti
missiles. informed mem
bers of Congress said today.
Congressional leaders who
have participated in White
House discussions predicted that
the United States will fire an
underground shot within two
weeks. President Kennedy an
nounced Tuesday the United
States had no other choice but
to resume underground tests.
A resumption within two
weeks would precede the Sep
TENDER 10 opening of the United
Nations, where a great out
cry against resumption of test
ing is anticipated.
The United States explosion
is expected to have a double
barreled objective-the testing
of small battlefield warhead
and the effectiveness of new
detection equipment.
President Kennedy is reported
to have told Capitol Hill lead
ers that up to this point the
United States has very little

The prevailing estimate as to
time, however, is that aside
from sounding out operations,
Mr.. Khrushchev may not want
to negotiate until the end OF

Mr.. Khrushchev. Respecting

The message from the Bel
grade meeting was handed to
Mr.. KhruShchev earlier yester-
day by Mr.. Nehru and President
Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana
shortly after they arrived from
the Yugoslav capital. Their
meeting in the Kremlin was
described by the Soviet govern

That was Mr.. Nehru'S first

Mr.. Nehru joined Mr.. Khru-

House Defeats
Bill to Stiffen
Welfare Reports
BY the Associa ted Press

DS VIC ASSOCldlCu EIcSs
A House minority yesterday
defeated a bill to stiffen the
present law covering public dis
closure of welfare and pension
plans.
The vote for the bill was
245-161, but the House was
operating under a procedure
requiring a two-thirds major
ity to pass the bill. With 405
members voting. 270 votes
would have been required for
passage.
The administration had
pushed the bill vigorously
through Secretary of Labor
Goldberg.
1t was designed to provide
greater enforcement and in
Vestigative powers for the de-
partment than are contained
in the original 1858 Disclosure
Act.
President Eisenhower and
his Secretary of Labor, James
P. Mitchell, had also called for
strengthening the act.
AS it now stands the act
calls for pension and welfare
plan custodians to file annual
reports on the funds with the
Labor Department, but no au-
thority to enforce the law is
included.
The proposed amendments
would have added criminal
penalties for failure to comply
with the act and have given
the Secretary power to inves-
tigate a fund when he had
reason to believe the law was
being violated.
