How
wake up Christmas morning with
a real - life 728.700-pound steam
locomotive in your stocking? That
is what happened to the State
Fair of Texas this year.
It all came about this way:
Since May, Texas A
Railway has ordered i ,
of 71 steam locomotives to make ' f°r ’he benefit of future genera-
in a few
years practically all such
day compared to grazing on per-
manent pasture,” says Floyd Ciid-
der, a cooperator with the Do.iton-
Wise 8oU Conservation District. I
Crider, whose dairy is located in I
the Hawkeye Conservation Group,
found out the true value of Ma-'
drid when he took his cows off a i
58 acre field of the clover for sev-
eral days during a rainy period !
last April The milk production for (
the herd dropped around 200 pounds I
per day before the field was dry (
enough to permit grazing of the '
clover.
The experience of Crider is fair-
ly typical of the results obtained i
by other district cooperators
the use of Madrid clover for tem-
porary pasture, soil conservation- 1
Ists say. Since this clover is a
biennial it remains on the land for
* two-year period and will be avail-
able for production grazing for
from 10 to 14 months out of the
24 months period. Another good
feature of the clover is that it
Will provide green grazing during
July. August, September and Oc-
