Why we say THANK YOU four million times a day if satisfied with (he newer pasture mixtures of grasses and legumes now being recommended. During the past spring, Harold seeded approximately forty acres of Ran. ger Alfalfa, one of the first seed ings of that variety in this coun ty with alta fescue and tall mea dow oat grass. A good stand was established, in fact two light cuttings of hay were taken from the new seeding. But the out standing results were obtained from grazing this fall. The grass and alfalfa provided pasture for livestock with calves at weaning time making gains instead of the usual loss. Man farmejs in Morrow county are finding that a mixture of grass with their alfalfa seeding not only keeps undesirable an nuals such as cheat from becom ing a nuisance, prolonging the life of the seeding, but that this mixture also provides a very fine pasture in the fall. For those liveslockmen who have not yet sprayed their cattle for lice it is suggested that it be done as soon as possible. Spray ing should be done before lice begin to cause unthriftiness in animals. Spraying should be done with at least a 250 lb. pres sure, 400 lbs. being more satis factory. Twelve pounds of 50 per cent wettable DDT per 100 gallons of water is now recommended. This should be applied at the rate of one and one half gallon per animal. In winter weather spray ing should be done early in the day in order that cattle can be dry before evening. 1 .
