establishment of milk
COLLkXiK STATION.—The national
and international emergency has
created In the field of dairying a*
other agricultural enterprise*, a more
or less critical situation us these en-
terprises relate to our war effort.
Our ueed for dairy products in 1943
ha* been estimated to be approxi-
mately one hundred fifty billion
pounds of milk whereas in the past
the dairymen of the nation have pro-
duced normally one hundred three to
one hundred six billion pound* of
milk annually. At the same time our
goal of production is greatly increas-
ed for this year, we are faced with
both a feed shortage and a labor
shortage. Due to these two things, we
should like to make the following
suggestions to the dairymen of Tex-
as:
1. Plant a sufficient amount of
hay and silage crops thia spring to
supply a minimum of one ton bay
and three tons silage for each good
milk cow on the farm. The following
hay cropa may be produced in Texas
—Sweet Sorghum. Hegari, Sudan.
Johnson Grass, peanuts, cowpexs.
soybean*, and in some sections clov-
er or Alfalfa. For silage crops, sweet
sorghums In row. kafir, hegari and
corn if it is good land.
2. In order to boat utilise every
man-hour on the dairy farm, the
herd should be culled close. Only
good cows should be retained In the
herd at any time, and more especial-
ly when there Is a shortage of labor
and cull cows can be sold for slaugh-
ter at a good price. Set whatever
standard Is profitable production to
you and cull out all cows below this
standard. Then, feed the good cows
liberally. This procedure will result
in more milk from fewer cows ami
less labor.
3. Keep native pasture* mowed to
prevent we»d growth ami rotate the
herd from one pasture to another
and graze each pasture sufficiently
close to prevent all the grass from
maturing. This will increase the
protein supply from this source.
4 Plant sufficient sudan in 18 to
24 inch row* as soon after March 13
as possible to have at least one acre
per cow ready for grazing as soon as
spring grass is gone. Then, if there
la sufficient moisture In June, plant
another field to sudan This second
planting twill give more grazing
through July. August und September
than will the March planting, lit
either event, keep the sudan grazed
close ©nought to prevent heading.
This increases your protein supply.
5. In September or early October,
plant a good variety of seed oats for
winter pasture. Thl* oat pasture
will also help to supply your pro-
tein requirements.
The pasture program suggested
-tw pur Menially important to help
the protein shortage that now exists
and which will not be improved next
fall or winter. In all probability it
Wilt be more sort mi a at that time
than now. The protein requirements
of the grain ration for the dairy cow
can be materially reduced by having
gTeen growing pasture available for
the cows. These requirements may
be further reduced by feeding a leg-
ume hay such as alfalfa, clover, cow-
pea, peanut or soybean.
«, If you follow the above sugges-
tions. then keep no more dairy cows
on the farm than you can properly
feed and manage. Otherwise, such
surplus cows become marginal cows
and the feed they consume could
best be used by some other dairyman
who can take care of more cows.
In order to Illustrate the applica-
tion of the suggestions made for
feeding the dairy cow. to reduce the
protein concentrate requirements, we
might consider the following rations:
1. Most dairy men normally de-
pend on cotton seed meal as the
chief source of protein 1n their dairy
cow ration; feeding grass or sor-
ghum hay or cotton seed hull* as a
roughage On this basl*. a cow pro-
ducing two gallons of milk daily
will require 1.4 pounds digestible
protein and 11.2 pounds non-protein
nutrients. If this cow is fed 10
pounds sorghum hay daily It will
necessitate feeding 2 pound* cotton-
seed meel and 0 pound# either corn
or some of the grain sorghums.
If the hay feeding Is Increased to
.S or 20 pounds, which is a more
desirable amount for this kind of a
cow, then the cotton seed meal and
grain can be reduced.
ft. Since we have a protein concen-
by <weight of either ground ear corn
or grain sorghum heads to 1 part
peanut* or soybean meal with 2 per-
cent salt and 2 per cent oyster shell
powder and steam hone meal mixed
it: the ration of 2 parts of the oyster
shell to 1 part hone meal.
3. Let us consider auother combin-
ation. where the pasture as mention-
ed under Item 2 above is not avail-
able. if we use the game type or
cow and feed her 13 pounds of either
alfalfa or eowpea' hay. or 20 pounds
peanuts hay; then it will only be
necessary to feed her a carbohy
drate grain mix ration such as
eight pounds daily of a mixture of
equal parts corn meal, milo or kafir
meal and oate or barley. Any two
of these grain feeds will be sufficient
in the mixture for this particular
type cow, but there will be some
cows in the herd with greater pro-
duction and It would be much better
to have all four of the grains listed
above in their grain mix. By follow-
ing this procedure, it is possible to
maintain production and yet not re-
quire a protein supplement In the ra-
tion.
It might be stated In conclusion,
that all feeds contain some protein
and with the proper selection of
feeds and the proper pasture pro-
gram. we ran maintain milk produc-
tion in dairy cows without requiring
the heavy feeding of protein supple-
ments.

Protein In Feeds
To Be Restricted
To Meet Shortage
CHICAGO. 111.“ American farmers
can reach 1943 good production goals
if a program of voluntary protein
conservation is successful. J. A. Mo
Connell, chairman of the newiy or-
ganized feed Industry council, said
today.
There 1* a shortage of about 20
per cent in protein feeds, which are
essential to provide food for live-
stock and dairy animals. McConnell
said, and animals must be fed If
humans are to receive their proper
quantities of food.
McConnell said the conservation
program “calls for limiting the pro-
tein content of all type feed to mini-
mum poultry and livestock require-
ments.” He suld it had been ap-
proved by the council and the de-
partment of agriculture.
Although the amounts of proteiu
feed recommended under the conserva-
tion program are lower than many
farmers are accustomed to use. Me
Connell asserted, "experimental evi-
dence and practical farm experience
prove they will do a good Job."
