states, “is the best and most eco-
nomical source of feed for dairy
cows,” Temporary pastures should
be planted as near cow barns as
possible to save cows walking too
far to grass and water. After pro-
viding for pasturage, dairy farm-
ers should plan to produce all of
the good quality hay and silage
their herds will require. If the
acreage is not large enough to
produce all of the feed needed
it is suggested that all of the hay
and silage possible be grown and
then supplemented with concen-
trates.
High quality roughage not only
reduces the need for concentrates,
but lowers the protein content of
the concentrate mixture required.
Only hay and silage crops which
will yield the largest amount of
digestible nutrients per acre
should be planted. Silage is the
best substitute for pasture and
all dairymen should provide sil-
age for their herds. Silage will
maintain production during the
summer when pastures are dry
and during the winter when little
pasture is available.

Milk Production
Planning of Crop
Before Planting Is
Urged by Agent Here
“An adequate supply of the
right feeds is the simplest means
of obtaining the high level of
milk production needed tp fill
the demand,” . says Albert S.
Brient, county agent. “Planning
the feed crop before planting, in-
sures a better and bigger supply
for the dairy herd and more eco-
nomical milk production,” he
adds.
As a guide to planning the
home-grown feed, Mr. Brient
suggests the following as the min-
imum feed requirements for an
average dairy cow for one year:
hay, one ton, if no silage is pro-
vided, two tons will be needed;
silage, three tons; concentrates,
one ton, 500 pounds of which
should be protein concentrate;

signed to give 4-H club members
a chance to check up on their
own efforts in helping win the
war, Mr. Brient pointed out, and
a second purpose is to make an
opportunity for members to re-
dedicate themselves to the task
ahead and reaffirm their inten-
tion to carry their 1945 goals to
completion.
The agents issued the following
statement on 4-H club work in
Texas:
“Texas’ record in 4-H club work
is a proud one. The idea of meth-
od demonstration work in agri-
culture for boys began with the
establishment of Corn clubs about
40 years ago. The first demonstra-
tion agent to take up this phase
of work and promote it actively
and successfully was Tom M.
Marks of Jack county. From this
small beginning in 1906 has grown
the vast»army of boys and girls
who are being educated in better
methods of farming and home
making by county extension
agents.
“Membership in a Texas 4-H
club is a high honor. It gives
every boy and girl a chance to
learn better methods of farming
and home making and also gives
young people on the farms an
opportunity to take a leading part
in the war effort as an organized
body. Members of Cooke county
4-H clubs long have been out-
standing in their achievements.

the missive. The text is as fol-
