Last summer several farmers
tried sulfur dioxide to preserve
their grass silage. It is a fairly
new development for this area
so we are interested in how good
a job it did.
The sulfur dioxide treated sil­
age looks and smells very good.
The suggestion was made that we
pick some grass silage samples
and have them analyzed for pro­
tein and dry matter to see how
the different kinds compared.
Eight samples were taken. The
following were sulfur dioxide
treated:
Alta fescue-subclover
from Ed Workman, Deer Island;
ryegrass from Paul Borlin, Deer
Island; alfalfa-hairy vetch from
Frank Trachsel, Deer Island and
pea vines from C. W. Sherman,
Scappoose.
All these samples
were from upright silos.
To make some comparisons un­
treated silage samples were also
tested. Mixed grass from a trench
silo at Harry Kern's, Deer Island;
pea vines from an upright silo at
Vem Kohlstrand's, Warren; rye­
grass from an upright at Borlin’s
and ladino clover-grass from Knu.
sei’s Dairy, Scappoose.
Duplicate samples of all these
various silages will be brought in
•to a meeting on Tuesday, Febru­
ary 24, at the courthouse, St.
Helens. The analysis of protein
and dry matter in these silage
samples will also be posted.
Harold Ewalt, extension dairy­
men from OSC. who has wide
experience in silage making, will
lead the discussion. Anyone in­
terested in silage is invited to at­
tend the meeting.
Have you ever had a problem
in selecting a beef animal for
Breeding purposes’ Say you were
planning to buy a bull or some
rieifers to increase or improve
jour herd.
As you look around and visit
different herds you will certainly
ante differences in quality among
the different animals.

Do you know what ESPERAN­
TO is? Here is some information
about it, which, I belirve, will be
of interest to many peapie.
Esperanto is the widely used and
rapidly
growing
international
auxiliary language. It is easy to
learn; its whole grammer con­
sists of 16 simple rules. The
English-sp' aking people know the
stems of two-thirds of all its
words. And it is being practi­
cally used every day by hundreds
of thousands of people. There are
more than 50 monthly broadcasts
in Esperanto from Europe.
Over 7.500 books, both trans­
lated and original, are available
in Esp.ranto. Stamps in Esperan­
to have been issued by four
countries. More than 100 periodi-
cals are published in this only
successful interlanguage, It has
been used at about 60Q interna­
tional meetings and congresses.
It is taught in hundreds of schools
and universities all over the
world Millions of people of all
nations have learned it in a very
short time.
This is but a short account of
all the opportunities in Esperanto,
If you are int.rested, just write
for free detailed information to

With beef cattle, two critters I
can be of the same breed and
2750—
look a lot alike but there can
still be some very important dif­
2500—
ferences between animals.
Livestock men examine or grade
those breeding animals carefully
2250—
to determine just how they stack
up in the qualities they are look­
2000—
ing for.
They will pay particular atten­
tion to the scale or size of the
1750—
animal, the thickness of flesh and
the smoothness of body.
Chest, back, loin, rump, and
1500—
round are equally important.
All these points are examined
1250—
to determine the quality of that
animal as a breeding animal in
the herd.

One of the best ways to learn
about quality beef animals is to

get a group of livestock men to­

gether around some cattle and
get them to talking about the

quality of those animals.
