American marauder crewa who took part in a raid on Brest late yesterday said the Germans had begun blocking the great port in apparent preparation for its surrender. Field Marshal Gunther Von Kluge's army of the west appeared to have been riddled along the whole French front, however, and Ute dramatic disclosure of the new Allied sky army held promise of fresh disaster for the Nazi cominander. The new force, placed under the command of U.S. Lt. Gen. Lewis H.

Moos of THE IW BY UNCLI 808 of the Kraft Dairy Farm Servica

A little cash laid out right now in repairing bam* and silo* or putting up a temporary silo, if you do not have a permanent structure, will do a lot to save your cows some misery next winter. Leaky and drafty bams can cut down winter milk production. Cows, like us human*, work best in comfortable surroundings. Silo* which have sprung leaks or suffered wind damage may cause trouble, too. August 1* a good time to check up and make repairs. In case you've been too busy to notice It, there has been some hot weather around lately. If your pastures have been showing the effect of the heat, you can take step* now to save some hot weather trouble* with next year's pasture*. A bulletin from Purdue discusses an experiment conducted on alfalfabrome grass. August is the time to get this pasture combination planted. Purdue seeded eight acres of alfalta-brome, using nine pound* of each kind of seed per acre. During the three year* following the seeding. it provided pasture from early May through early September. A herd of cows was pastured on this land and another herd, identical in breed and mtlk volume, was pastured on 16 acre* of bluegrat*. . The records show that more milk and more fat was produced, with le*s grain consumed and a greater gain in animal weight recorded, on the alfalfa-brome than on the twicc-as-large acreage of bluegrass. It is a timely subject and worth investing a postage stamp to write Purdue University, l-afayette, Indiana, for a copy of Circular 290.* They *ay money cannot buy happiness but It's nice to have enough cash *o a fellow can select bi* own brand of misery. There is perhaps more than a usual need this year for farmers tn put away plenty of silage. An abundant quantity of good quality silage is more important than ever this year, to reach the 121 billion pound milk goal. If you do not have a permanent silo or if you need additional storage space, I suggest you get a copy of Missouri Circular 346. issued by the Extension Service. Columbia. Missouri, on the subject of temporary silos.* It tells how to build trench slim and slat fence or "‘snow fence” silos. These types have proved highly successful tn various part* of the country. A trench silo 12 feet across the top, 8 feel across the bottom and

8 feet deep will give one ton of silage per font of length. Thia silo should be covered with • layer of cut straw or chaff and a thicker layer of straw or dirt. The *lat fence silo should be lined with some sort of tar paper or a good grade of specially prepared building paper, strong enough not to teat easily and capable of withstanding weather condition*. The booklet gives a lot of information or location of such temporary ados as wdi as detailed material on construction and filling. Fanner's Bulletin No. 57*. issued by the U.S.D.A. in Washington. D. C.. warn* that the important thing with any silo is to keep out air. It contain* a good discussion of box *ilo* and ha* many helpful *ugges- ' tion* lor putting away silage. I suggest you get a copy. It is free. • / ————— z City folks have got acquainted with sharing the ride, which brings them a step closer to farm boys who are pretty familiar with riding the share— that to, behind the plowshare. z - Whenever I think of plowing, for some reason I think of com, which lead* me up to corn silage and a bulletin on this subject issued by Wisconsin. Circular 337 stresses the impor- • tance of putting com silage away at the proper stage of maturity. If properly prepared, com silage is one of the most palatable and nutritious r of silage*. To get the greatest food value possible, it should be ensiled when neither too ripe nor too green. Corn is ready for ensiling when the kernels have barely finished denting, and when all or nearly all leaves are still green, if cut too early, soluble nutrient* may be lost and the silage may become soggy and unpalatable. ' Cut too mature, It may be too dry to pack well, causing air pockets and mold. The Wisconsin circular says hybrid com it just as good lor silage as is * open-pdlinated corn, but it caution* • that hybrid corn may «tay green after the crop is too mature for silage. Dinting of the kernel is the reliable guide to proper time for cutting. , You can get thbcircular by writing > the Extension Service, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin.* 'NOTIi IMra MveSy li o 3< for pompwteh moiled lo non -rorldonl* o 4 0 »«o»o, bvt poMibly yovr own (foto hot o ('••pomphletontheiomawbloct Adi your 09 -*
