1952 Witnesses Steady Development Of More Grassland Farming In Stale

Grassland farming in Virginia, which was given new impetus two years ago whin Governor Battle named a state pasture committee, continued to forge ahead in 1952. Dr Walter S. Newman, presi dent of VPI and committee chairman, said farmers continued to divert cropland to pasture, to sow grass on land which had lain idle before, and to improve exist ing pastureland. ' rganized pasture clubs in 50 counties, and 97 locally organized pasture committees supplemented the work of the state committee. In addition to virtually every farm agency and gtoup in tlie state, civic organizations, indus trialists. and businessmen and firms supported tlie program. Demonstrations Looking over reports from the county committees for 1952. Dr. Newman notes that more than 4000 pasture result demonstra tion plots were established. Dur ing the year. 88 seeding demon strations. 117 fertilization demon strations. and 151 tours were held,

v ith a total attendance of over 15.000. In addition, almost 450 meetings with an attendance of over 20 000 were held with oth.T farm and civic groups. The co-operation or the press and radio is pointed up in the fact that 23 counties published special pasture editions of local newspapers, about 1350 news an - cles were published, and over 500 nidio programs were given. In 75 counties, fertilizer and farm equipment dealers included men tion of pastures in their news paper and radio advertising. A new slogan came from Prince George county as the result of a pasture slogan contest . . . "Grow Greenbacks with Grass." In southwest Virginia, where more than 80 communities par ticipated in community improve ment contests, pastures were a major factor in determining scores.

Other Activities Other activities included weed control demonstrations, distribu tion of pasture stickers, clipping demonstrations, and pasture schools. Some counties are stress ing pasture management and are establishing rotational grazing demonstrations. Members of the state commit tee had a chance to see first-hand the results of their work. One of the highlights of the year was a tour of Henrico county grassland farms for the committee mem bers. Agronomists at VPI now com pute that there are about 5.000. 000 acres of pasture in Virginia, with an average grazing capacity of one cow to four and one-half acres. The immediate goal is to double the grazing capacity. Some Virginia farmers have already achieved and passed this goal. H ill Continue Dr. Newman says mere will be no slack in tile emphasis on bet ter pastures in 1953. Research at the VPI Agricultural Experiment Station and its outlying substa tions constantly aims at better management, fertih ation, and improved pasture mixtures. Coun ty pasture clubs*will be contin ued Youth has stepped into the pic ture. and the number of 4-H and FFA pasture demonstrations is steadily increasing In 1952. over 50 club members took part in the program.

French Operate Fastest Trains In the World

PAR IS—French trains streaking from Paris towards the Riviera are now regarded as the world's fastest, hut the United States still holds the ail-time record for the "sprint” on rails. France's passenger streamliners to the Mediterranean seashore are electric From Paris to Dijon 195 miles—they average more than 77 miles per hour. On to Lyon. 124 miles past Dijon, the rverage drops only to 75. while the 679 miles from the French capital to Nice are covered at 60 m.p.h. Highest Speed The highest speed ever attained on rails was the 127.00 miles ail hour leached in 1905 by the Penn sylvania Special, predecessor to the Pennsylvania Railroad's Broad way Limited. The steam-powered Special kept it up for three timed miles in Ohio. The Interstate Com merce Commission allows no such speeds today. It docs, however, authorize the Chicago. .Burlington and Quincy's Twin Cities Zephyrs- powered by diesel-electric locomotives - to aver age 86 miles an hour from East Dubuque, III , to Prairie du Chien. \V:s. While this is the world's fast est rail schedule, it is maintained over a distance of only 54 miles with trains lighter than the French champions. Furthermore, the French ex presses have proved they keep something in reserve.
