THE RUSK CIIEROKEEAN, THURSDAY MARCH 23, 1950
>airy Pasture Is
k*Spring Problem
Spring weather is bringing on
|ho usual crop <>1' wccis and iu-v.'
i (0 ih in pastures. To most live-
Mock producers this is a welcome
jlcvelopment but to the dairyman
vho is selling milk it brings on
oblems. Chief among them, says
E. Burleson, associate exten-
ho# dairy husbandman of Texas
M. College, is the offlavors in
niik. To prevent this condition, j
lie says the pastures should be ;
iramd during the morning. The
lows should be in several hours
before milking time.
Dairymen, says Burleson, are ;
lert^izers and for other practices
at will lead to better pastures.
!e points out that a good dairy
ow will return approximately
even times as much income from
fbre of improved pasture as
ill any other type of livestock,
or this same reason, he contin-
ue, dairy cows also require bet-
r 'pastures to do an efficient
bb of producing milk.
It should be remembered, he
ays that feed costs represent
boift 50 or 60 per cent of the
)tal cost of producing milk and
nything that can be done to re-
uce this cost will increase in-
jrn# In one dairy herd improve-
lent association, a few dairymen
re producing milk at a feed cost
f around $2 per hundred pounds
hil« -he costs for other members
|i the same association is running
per $4 per hundred.
The difference, he says, is the
rod^ption comes from improved
;eding program being followed
y the dairymen. The cheapest
stures followed by silage, hay
|id concentrates. He reports that |
49 co.-1 figures show that 100 ,
nds of 4 per cent milk can be 1
oduced from grazing on an im-1
oved pasture for forty cents as
:aiiftt .$3.60 for concentrates. |
e cost of production factor is j
ing to determine which dairy- j
n are going to stay in business :
d tkake money and which will
forced out because of ineffic-
icy.
Iwith these facts in mind, he
lys 4he conclusion is obvious
lirymen must produce as much
|i Ik as possible from roughages,
eluding improved pastures, sit-
|e a^i hay.

All over the Gulf South tonight little girls and boys will go
to sleep in homes equipped with adequate, vented, auto-
matic natural gas heating. Gas will have the house warm
in the morning, too, keep the water hot, cook the family
breakfast. Natural gas does all the big jobs in the home-
quickly, efficiently and at such low cost.
Natural Gas—Dependable, Economical
Natural gas is a dependable, economical fuel that serves
most where it's used most. It's a source of income, too, for
many, many thousands of workers in commerce and indus-
try, for royalty owners and stockholders throughout the Gulf
South, many of whom probably live in your own community.
