At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors Wednesday morning Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, welfare superintendent, reported that according to a new ruling, a report of the work of the welfare department would be submitted to the board each month. This record is for the board members and is not for general public study. Two opinions were expressed < in regard to this monthly report from the welfare department: one supervisor wished the records to be public property, but 1 this is contrary to law; and one supervisor agreed that the constituents would be satisfied that their representative would study the re- ' port. — Engineer-Johmron, of the Highway Department, presented the road budget for the county. j* 1 Routine bills were paid. ■ All members of the board were present except one. Dr. E. W. Brown Dr. Edward Whitfield Brown,. 92, one of the county’s best-loved country doctors, died Sunday, July 2, at his home in Washington after having been in declining health for the past year. Dr. Brown came to Rappahannock county in 1888 during the horse-and-buggy days to begin the practice of medicine. He was more than just the family physician, he was a personal friend of the feasily, willing to be of service at any hour of the day and night, ministering to the needs of the sick along the highways and by-ways in all kinds of weather. He was born October 2, 1857, near Leon in Madison county, the son of Susan Ann Elizabeth Pratt and Edward Whitfield Brown. His father was a member of Co. B, 13th Virginia Regiment, Confederate army, and was not far from Stonewall Jackson when mortally wounded.; he also ser\^d with General Lee at Appamattox. In 1880 Dr. Brown graduated from University of Virginia Medi, .c*l College and began the practice of medicine near Brown’s Store in Culpeper county before coming to Rappahannock. He married Miss Elizabeth Eastham of Huntsville, Texas, in 1896. . Dr. Brown was the oldest deacon of the Washington Baptist** church. He served 40 years as secretary of the Washington Masonic Lodge No. 78 AP and AM, and also held the office of Master of the Lodge. , Dr. Brown iwas mayor of the town of Washington, and one of the directors of the Rappahannock National Bank for a number of years. He also served on the county’s board of health, and as the county coroner and is believed to have been dean of physicians ' of Northern Virginia. Dr. Brown received a certificate of membership from the Thomas Jefferson Society of Patriots of the University of Virginia, for having been an alumnus for fifty yean.

The following citizens have added their contributions to the list for Sperryville Volunteer Fire Company. This is the third week that names of donors have been published. Nelson Mothers $5; CSeorge (Kitty) Brown |5; James W. Fletcher $25; George B. Jenkins $1; Dolan J. Jenkins $5; Harry J. Woodard |5; William Aylor $1; Frank Annentrout $1; B. E. Wood $«; Mis* Louise O'Bannon fl; and Lttthaa $ jJtsidai $$,■ D. C. Link Assumes Duties At Nokesville D. C. Link, principal of now historic Washington High School, assumed his new position July 1 as supervising principal at Brentsville District High School, Nokes’ vflle, Prince William county, with i, a staff of 23 teachers aijd a student body of 600 pupils. Professor Link served as prin: cipal of Washington High School from Deeember 1942 until the last class, I960, when the school .joined the ranks of history and •consolidation created Rappahannock County High School. Prof Mao r D. C. Link Professor Link did hit lint two yean of undergraduate work at Shepherd college, Shepherdstorwn, W. Va. Ho received his A.B. degree at Westminister Maryland college and his mss ten at University of Maryland. He began his teaching career in 1920 in the coal fields of West Virginia. For two years he was connected 'with the state department of Maryland. Before he came to Washington, Prof. Link was an instructor of social studies at Harpen Ferry High School, and the also served as justice of the peace for four yeairtf''white in Harpen Ferry. During Prof. Link's eight yean at Washington, the high school grew steadily in strength. A home economics course was instituted in the course of study; a course in general shop was established in 1944; Bible and economics were added to the curriculum; spelling was made compulsory to the language arts course; classes in music began in 1946; and a lunch room began operation in March 1947. Mr. Link, by his interests and efforts, encouraged many pupils to stay in school. Personal contact* and interviews with families lessened the percentage of drop-outs. Mr. Link feels that the holding power of a school is increased by courses in home economics, shop, and interscholastic athletics. Clubs and organizations established by Mr. Link to encourage student leadership rwere Student Council, library club, first-aid club, projector club, and glee club. Under his leadership and guidance a school paper, "The Little Washington Post," was published by the students, and the first high school annual, “The Echo," was compiled by the seniors of 1948-49. Besides acting as' principal. Prof. Link coached the Panthers, W. H. S.’s basketball team. Each year a successful athletic team was organised. In 1944 the Panther boys seised the district championship and in 1948 they were . in second place. The girls had outstanding teams during this period, losing only one or two games out of a schedule of 17 per season. Prof. Link has lonk been an ad. toward this end. Bobby Carter Is All-Star Bobby Carter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Carter of Amissville, was taken in the Virginia Chapter of 4-H All Stars at Blacksburg . last Friday. This is one of the highest honors paid to a 4-H member in the State.

Lyne I County Agent i Virginia Experiment Stations have been making phosphate studies for the past 56 years, including a comparison of the different sources of phosphate. A brief summary of their conclusions based on the study are as follows : 1. Most soils in Virginia are deficient in phosphate.. 2. The response to one crop in the rotation is not necessarily a guide to the phosphate needs. For example corn may not show much response but the phosphate applied to corn may be of great value to small grains, hay or other crops in rotation. * 3. If the soil Is very deficient in phosphate, the use of rock phosphate is not a satisfactory source of phosphate for immediate results. 4. Rock phosphate may be used, if immediate results are not expected. It may be used in heavy applications to build up the phosphate reserves in the soil, however, this may not be desirable for several reasons. 5. From a pratical standpoint, triple, superphosphate, calcium metophosphate and superphosphate have about the same value. The one to use would be the source you can get spread on the land at the lowest cost per pound of phosphoric acid. 6. The residual effect of phosphorus from a hea,Jy application of phosphate fertilizer has shown , up for more than 25 years after it was applied. 7. Only about 50 % of the phosphorus applied to the soil was recovered during the 38 year period. Due to this small recovery of phosphate we must always use several times the amount of phosphorus by the crops in order to prevent a deficiency of phosphorus. . * * * lost year 344 far men in 10 Piedmont Virginia counties made . application for membership in the 100-Bushel Corn Club, of this number 80 made at least 100 bushels per acre for an average of 118.1 bushels.

Carrico, Jr., of Noakesville, accepted a position as mechanic last week at the Merrill Motor Company. Mr. Carrico is a nephew of Mr. Merrill and. is making his home with the Merrill family. * Gordon Thompson Won High Honors At State F. F. A. Convention Gordon Thompson, FFA student from Huntly, won high honors last week at the State FFA Convention held at VPI. He ,was second high individual in the Livestock Judging Contest, competing with 132 other boys from all over Virginia. Gorddn is now sporting a gold medal for this outstanding achievement in the judging of beef cattle, sheep and swine. Other boys attending the Rally and participating in the judging were Newbill Miller and Edwin Scroggins, who made an excellent showing. Besides their judging work these boys attended Leadership Training schools and were taken on tours of various agricultural departments of the great- , er VPI. Recreational activities included baseball, swimming, and movies. This story would not be complete without mentioning?'the fact that a huge, black bear made a very peaceful journey across the VPI campus just a few hours after the boys arrived. Very soon after this, the stories were flying fast and furious as to the size of this apparently harmless animal of the Blue Ridge; all the way from 250 to 1000 lbs. Despite his size a huge crowd was quickly dispersed as this big bruin made his appearance in Miles Stadium. On Monday, 25 FFA boys and FHA girls left, along with their advisor Genje Wagner, ifor a week’s camping trip at the State FFA Camp near Smithffeld. They traveled by school bus and will return Saturday. Two Stations Robbed Mac’s Place at Washington and Buck Brown’s Highway Garage, about two miles from Washington - on the Sperryville road, were entered late Saturday night — or early Sunday morning—and robbed. Missing items at Mac’s Place, where a broken window indicated means of thieves’ entrance, were: two radios, several cases of beer, aome wine, and about $3 in cash. This is the third time in the last 18 months that Mac’s Place has been entered and robbed, said E. M. Richards, owner. R. W. Brown estimated that about $25 in cash and from eight to ten cartons of. cigarettes were gone from his garage. Sheriff J. W. Critzer believes that several persons must be working together and an auto must figure in the robberies because of the quantity of loot. ' State Trooper W. A. Buntin has sent the broken windowpane from Mac’s Place to Richmond for detecting fingerprints. No other clue_ has been found as to the identity of the thieves.

Organized Al Sperryville An auxiliary to the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Company was organized Tuesday, June 27, when a group of local ladies met in the Sperryville auditorium at the request of the men of the fire company. G. M. Black, fire chief, stated that the men would like to have some support, moral and financial, from the ladies. In fact, Mr. Black said, the men felt they needed their help in the present goal to purchase new equipment. The old fire truck is considered inadequate to serve the needs of the community over the rural roads. Miss Mary Miller Wood, past president of Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary,— and Miss Ruby Jenkins, secretary, were present to answer the many questions about the formation and organization of an auxiliary. The following officers twere elected: Mrs. J. H. Aylor, president; Mrs. Lee Thornton, vicepresident; Mrs. Janie B. Jarvis, secretary; and Mrs. Z. H. Sealock, treasurer. There will be another meeting Monday, July, 10, at 8 p.m. in Sperryville school auditorium. All ladies of the community are urged to attend and help the fire company by working in the auxiliary.

Wayland in Washington, and plans are underway for the construction of a five-room bungalow on the lot. The lot comprises one-half acre adjacent to the property of Mrs. 'Della Partlow. It was the last of the four Thomas H. Huff lots to be sold by Mrs. Wayland, daughter of the late Mr. Huff. George W. Hawkins of Sperryville is the contractor for the con- .. struct km of the house. Mrs. Lillard moved last Week , into one of- the Merrill apartments while her hone is-being built. v Miss Margaret Compton Wins Spelling Bee Miss Margaret Compton was handed the winner’s prize at the Spelling Bee Friday evening in the high school auditorium, Washington- When the laurel wreath, in the form of a dictionary, rwas presented,' a sneer Went up,— “Shucks,, she could compile a dictionary, herself!” Somebody said something about “coals to Newcastle,” and everyone wore an Itold-you-so expression, for Miss Margaret had been picked as the winner long before the contest began. James M. Settle was awarded thq seat of honor on the stool in the corner. His cap was round and pointed at the top. As the “first red-skin to bite the dust,” the county clerk squared his shoulder? and faced the fray. “Pair,” said the Spelling Master, Rev. A. Paul Thompson, and holding up two fingers, explained, “Like two squirrels.” That was Mr. Jimmie’s un-doing. The preacher should’ve said “like two fish.” Anyway, let’s say Mr. Jimmie “pared” it down to his size. In the last few rounds of the match, Ned Johnson fouled1 up the g’s and r’s in exaggerate; Mrs. Ann Menefee proved her digestion was too good and “bilious” wasn’t in her spelling vocabulary; and Prof. H. B. Winfrey, after rattling off all the hard ones at break-neck speed, refused to try "knurl,” a knot in wood. He said he didn’t know the word and saw no reason to stab at it. . When Mr. Wiinfrey retired, it left Mr. Willie Compton to battle his sister. Mr. Willie lost out on “labret,” which the Spelling Master defined as “a lip ornament worn by certain savage people.” Mr. Willie evidently had never taken up his abode among savage people, but since he does have to live with his sister, perhaps he saw fit to misspell the word ahd live in peace and harmony at home. Perhaps, too, he thought it was a good time to begin getting accustomed to having the women always win. Mayor W. P. Moffett, Jr., held his ground in the difficult section of the spelling book and g<ot knocked down on “thief.” He held his ground, however, and avowed if he stood up again, he’d still spell it “e-i.” The mayor-elect, Mrs. George H. Davis, Jr., spelled valiantly, but suffered defeat on a word “fictitious.” Spellers came from throughout the county. is. M. Jones introduced the Spelling Master, one judge, Rot. M. E. Sliger, and all of the contestants with poems. Rer. Thompson read the poem introducing . Ned Jones as the other judge. The poems, including those composed for contestants who were not present, are reprinted bp the kind permission of the county posts responsible, D. Lyle Miller, Mrs. D. Lyle Miller, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Campbell, Mrs. J. Frank Jones, Mrs. E. M. Jones, Mrs. B. N. Eubank, Mrs. C. J. Miller, and Miss Louise Miller.

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Mora in* at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:__ (2.00 a year County Health Nurse <1500 is lacking to provide a county health nurse. An anonymous donor gave $500, and the county T-B Association gave $500. If there’s anything to “charity begins at home,” now is the county’s time to begin. Every year there are drives of various kinds— and they are good ones—for nation-wide charities. Rappahannock county people give to these drives and fine work is done. These works are excellent, and we all know it is the combined efforts of all the folks .in.all the states that have enabled establishment of hospitals for treatment of polio victims, and studies to prevent cancer. It’s come home now. It’s time to go to work for a local nurse. With two-thirds of the money sitting waiting, we should give the other third, even if it meant cutting dawn on some national charities. If some figures can be located, an exact sum-per-person in the county could be jstated. On a 6067 population, 9 cents per person would more than do it. It’s impossible to get everyone to give, but it shows that a number of small gifts would soon get this remaining sum necessary to give the county the benefits of a county health nurse. Letter Concerning Air Force Enlistments Mrs. Carroll Menefee of Sperryville, has permitted the publication of the following letter, concerning her son, Carroll Menefee, Jr., now stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. The letter is published with the thought that it may be of help to mothers of other boys just entering the armed forces. jjear Mrs. Meneiee: Your son, Carroll has just ar'' rived at Sheppard Air Force Base to enter Airplane and Engine Mechanic training. I take this opportunity to send my personal greetings and assure you of my sincere interest in him and my concern for his welfare. He has a wonderful opportunity now, since the successful completion of this training will start him on his iway to a profitable and interesting career in the United States Air Force, or if he chooses, it will fit him for a similar vocation in civilian life. Here at Sheppard Air Force * Base, which is one of the schools under the Air Training Command, no ffeort or expense has been spared to provide the best possible training facilities and a thorough]y competent instructional staff. While he is here we will provide him with a good place to live, good food, good clothing and excellent facilities for athletics and recreation. He may also attend : the church of his choice. We will be concerned with his moral and general welfare during his stay with us. I feel that you can be of great help to us and to your son while he is here hy writing him frequently, encouraging him to apply himself to his studies and to make the most of hjs opportunity. I ask your co-operation in this matter. Keep ip touch with his home in« terest but if possible, avoid subjects that would worry him. His best work will be done if .he has no worries about conditions at home. The training peri.o.d is short and there is much to be learned. Your letters can do a great deal to help him achieve success.in the Air Force. If at any time I may be of service to you, or furnish you any information with regard to the boy, whose success meaps so much to us all, please write, me. Very sincerely, Emil C. Kiel Brig.

They say today that a sufceessful farmer haa to be a “jack of all trades and master of them all.” If he is to survive, the farmer haa to be partly veterinarian, enough of a mechanic to keep his farm equipment in good running order, a fair carpenter, he must have a knowledge of contour cultivation and pest control, a liking for hard work plus natural farming ability. Besides these, he must be an accurate bookkeeper with a keen sense of money management. The above qualities would give the fellow a fair start. There are a few others that could come in handy. He will find use for patience that would make Job’s trials seem like a year’s vacation. It has always been amusing to see and hear of the dreams of the city office-worker who dreams of the day he will own a farm and Sit back on the porch in the shade while the farm makes money for him hand over fist. It brings to mind the story told by a doctor. “As a boy,” he said, “all I lived for was to grow up and get off the farm. As soon as I could after I was grown I bought a farm. Now here I am, still in the city, working like a dog to earn enough money to keep the farm going.” , There’s a parallel in the printing business. It seems to be a dream of every typewriter puncher on any city paper or magazine. He has always thought it would be fun to own a “little country weekly to play around with in my spare time.” An editor of one of those weeklies threatened to give his to the next well-dressed writer who made the statement, maintaining that that would be the .only way to teach him any different. The visitor1 from Collier’s magazine (who was in the county last week did not share this popular belief of running a country weekly paper with your feet propped up on the desk. It seems he had a friend who actually bought the country weekly and is now trying his best to sell it. He says the woik is killing him. * * * Edward Lockett, from Collier’s magazine, spent Thursday and Friday in Rappahannock. The purpose of his visit—so his boss said -—was to collect information on the ladies* election in Washington, but from stories running around, it is safe to say Mr. Lockett will not print many of the stories he heard — especially infc front of the Courthouse. He was observed, seated on a bench in front of the Courthouse, with D. Lyle Miller, Willie Compton, Dr. Snead, Snippy Miller, and Charlie Sisk. Mr. Sisk was telling his life’s stor^, and if he left out a bit, one of the men would prompt him. Ladies walked a wide circle around the group. It is certain the topic of conversation was not the town election. Mr. Lockett also collected some of Arthur -Millers atoriea—like*.. wise not on the election. The gentleman from Collier’s said.he was coming back this week. It is to be hoped that he enjoyed his stay in Rappahannock so much that he is returning just to visit. It could be that the folks were so charming he can’t resist returning —and it could be that he preferred the stories he heard to getting dull information on an election of women and now he has to return to get the original story he started but to get. (It could be, also, that Mr. Locket is returning to look for his glasses. He thinks he lost them somewhere in the county.) * * * Do you know anyone who would like a mimosa tree? Rappahannock News (dial 2851) can tell you where there are available—free of charge—several small trees, easy to taove. The blossoms are peach-colored. The mimosa is a charming tree, graceful, symetrical. The blooms , are fragrant and beautiful as a thistle blossom. The tree makes ideal shade for a lawn; it grows in umbrella fashion and allows grass to grow beneath it. The leaves "go to sleep” at night by closing flat together. Nothing makes a more charming spot for mi-lady’s out-door tea party than the shelter of a spreading mimosa. It’s first years’ growth is rapid, “'about three leekannaaLlv... so. i% is soon large enough for excellent shade. P.S.«—This charmingly lovely mimosa—even as you and I—has it’s ding-blasted rougher side. It’s dirty like unto nothing decent. The dad-busted blooms drop from here to kingdom-come. They hang in all the flowers and shrubs and succeed in keeping them in perpetual untidiness. After about 20 yean the dratted things get so they break off limbs if someone blows at ’em, and there's more cleaning. They weep. Sit under 'em and you’ll swear it’s raining— 1* you don’t swear something else. Everywhere a seed drops three tree* ee^e up—-or .maybe * dosen §*—In th« flower beds, among the raspberry bashes, in the garden, everywhere. Do you know anyone who woald like to have umpteen-leventydozen-hundred mimosa tqees?« I got one. * « « To Miss Louise Miller, Mrs. W. C. Campbell, and Mr. D. Lyle Miller: It is understood you are the poets who penned the yerses to the Walrus at the Spelling Bee. 'Tis at this moment the Walrus regrets that early education did not include a special course in bowing. The poor old Walrus would now join the Carpenter in shedding a bitter tear because of abilities so inadequate to the occasion. With clumsiness typical of an awkward animal, but with a sincerity (worthy of the finest in the “creature kingdom,” the Walrus asks that you consider these words as if spoken by an Eagle: Thank you. Byrd Promises Support On Korean Aid The president will have my full and unqualified support in all measures that are necessary to drive the Northern Koreans out of South Korea, stated Sen. Harry P. Byrd. The clearcut action judgment, the only course to pursue under the conditions existing. The invasion of South Korea was a ruthless and cruel act and could only be met by the forthright action that has been taken. It is my hope that other member nations of the United Nations will immediately join our forces in military action so that a united front will be presented to those who would use aggression to increase the forces of communism. The action of the United Nations, even through its legality is challenged by Russia, to my mind, offers the only hope I have been able to see that the United Nations may, and I earnestly hope become a strong agency to promote the peace of the world. This is the first instance under the U. N. of the use of armed force to preserve the peace. It must not and cannot fail, and I repeat, the more nations that take part in this police action the greater impress it will make upon the world and the more the deterrent will be to similar movements elsewhere. If out this should come a strong and virile United Nations mil lions of people throughout the world will feel a security for the future, which is absent now. This is a time for unity, as we must win. I have grave objections to sections of the pending legislation but, as it embraces aid to Korea, I shall cast my vote in favor of the legislation.

Heat will destroy enzymes, and that is the main reason we blanch.- There are other reasons too. Blanching helps reduce bulk in greens, removes the objectionable raw taste of some products, removes oxygen which also can cause spoilage, sets the color, and helps to remove some vegetale skins. Blanching is done in boiling water for a specified time. The times vary for different vegetables. The vegetables are placed in boiling water, and the water brought back to a boil as soon as possible. It should not take longer than one minute. Use about one pound of vegetables per gallon of water, or one pound of leafy vegetables per two gallons of water. Start counting the time from the moment the water begins to boil again. Time the blanch ex. actly and remove from the water. After blanching, the food must be cooled quickly. This is very important. After removing them from the boiling water, plunge the Vegetables into a water bath to which ice has been added. Use ice if at all possible, but if you do not have it, use the coldest water you can obtain. Leave the vegetables in this cold water for as long a time as you blanched it. Make sure it is thoroughly cooled before you remove and package it. If you follow these^,rulefli cer«r fully you will have beter frozen ' foods. Blanching times for different vegetables are listed in the bulletins “Home Freezing of Fruits and Vegetables” and “Instructions on Processing for Community Frozen-Food Locker Plants,” available from the Extension Service, VPL High School Graduates In Army and Air Force To young men who are high school graduates,, the U. S. Army now offers an opportunity to select the kind of training they want before they enlist, according to the U. S. Army and U. S. Air Force Recruiting Station, Culpeper. From a list of over twenty technical school courses, a high school graduate can select the one in wich he is most interested. Then, if accepted, he is assured of attending the school of his choice after enlistment and upon completion of basic training. But if an applicant lacks a high school education or its equivalent, he can still attend a,-technical school, provided he established his qualifications after enlistment.

Department of Highways with the State Association of Garden Clubs giving financial support, will extend, the entire stretch of 250 miles, Mr, Reis says. All residents along the route, both in towns and on farms, will be urged to take part in making this highway memorable to passing motorists by cleaning up, landscaping and other improvements. t * * * For year-round roadside beauty Mr. Reis suggests that farm families can co-operate by planting living Christmas trees in every yard where there is space for them and by planting eyergreen windbreaks in the more level portion. Land not suited to farming may be beautified and made useful by for- . est trees. Organization of more ‘ 4-H and community garden' clubs in this area could help the project with more gardening, plantings, * and improvement of lawns. .A-z.:-*;-- « .* i W: Young*ter* In The Car Those many families who will be taking vacation trips by auto* mobile this summer will have a. pleasanter and safer time on the road if some entertainment for young children is planned in advance. Plan to make frequent stops, especially at places of interest to children such as parks, lighthouses or airports. Children enjoy stopping for a picnic lunch along the way. These stops break the monotony for naturally active youngsters and allow them to stretch their legs. Otherwise, they become restless from riding. To keep young children amused during long hours of driving, take along soft toys which won’t hurt if the car goes over a bump. Small toys like dolls, plastic cars and airplanes, or balloons are suggested... ... 1 .—.Other reminders to parents are that very simple games may keep children * diverted on the road. Youngsters may enjoy counting railroad cars or cattle in the fields while Dad or Mother keeps score to see who gets the highest count in the shortest time. RAPP-CHATS (Continued from page.

No doubt but what your local merchant can supply you with the D. D. T. Several farmers have asked: Is there any use of my using Spore dust when my neighbor does not? The answer is yes! Any area of lawn or pasture once treated with Spore Dust may be forgotten in so for as further treatment is concerned as a matter of protection to the grass roots on which the Beetle Grub feeds. Of course the more widespread the use made of Spore Dust the less protective spraying necessary to control the., adult Beetle.

Sheep and Cattle Should They Be Grazed Together or Separately? By W. H. Lynv, Co. Act. Usually it is not what we don't know that hurts hut what we do know and don’t do that causes trouble or perhaps even failure. Many fanners think that sheep, cattle, and horses shouldn’t graze together simply because, this axiom seemingly haa been handed down verbally from generation to generation and give this as a reason for not keeping; sheep. A couple of weeks ago 1 mentioned in Rapp-Chats that cattle, especially those with horns and more especially Angus seem to hate dogs and consequently serve as a natural protection to sheep if allowed to run together and stated that more would be published at a later date on whether or not it was good management tb pasture different types of farm animals together or separately.^ The following is a complete report on findings conducted here in Virginia by the V.PJ. Animal Husbandry Department and the Experiment Station co-operating: A.H. g The Improvement, Managemeat and Nutritive Value ef Pasture, VIII. A Comparison efl Two Systems ef Grasing Horses, Cattle, and Sheep.—C. M. Kincaid, George W. Litton, and R. E. , Hunt. This experiment was started In v 1943 for the purpose of comparing segregation of horses, cattle, and , sheep and rotation grazing with the usual system of grazing in which the three classes of livestock are grazed together continuously for the entire grazing seaeon.. Experimental Plan: 1. Pasture Lots. An area of permanent, pasture, largely blue grass and white clover, containing 112 acres furnished the pastures used. The field was first divided into two 56 acres - replicates with the division such that each replicate could be divided into two equal sized lots which were accessible to shade an water, and which were more or less alike in topography and soil .. fertility. One lot in each replicate vu selected for rotation grazing and subdivided into lour sub-lots of seven acres each. This gave four 7-acre lots and one 28-acre lot in each replicate. The boundaries to the lots were located so that shade and water conditions were more or less the same in all lots belonging to the same replicate. 2. Animals. The horses were yearlings and two year olds of either draft or light breeding. In years in which light horses and draft horses were both used, it was required that each type be represented in multiples of four so that there would be at least one horse of each type and age for each grazing treatment in the experiment. The cattle were good to choice grade yearling Hereford steers. They were obtained by purchase from local firms in the fall of the year preceding the grazing season in which they were to be used. Prior to the grazing test they were wintered . together on the same ration as one herd. The sheep were obtained from the experimental flock. The ewes (were grade ewes and the lambs ewes sired by purebred Hampshire and Southdown rams. Ewes and lambs were used from the beginning of the pasture season in the spring until the lambs were sold in June and July. After the lambs were marketed, the ewes were rerandomized and used in the test throughout tHe breeding season and to the end of the grazing season. 8. Assignment of Animals to Treatments. The animals available for the experiment were classified into groups which were multiples of four iwith equal numbers from each group randomized to each of the four lots. A Method of grazing. After the animals had been assigned to lots, the lots which were to be grazed continuously were (docked with the three classes of livestock. These animals were kept 4n this pasture together for the entire grazing season. The lots to be rotation grazed were handled as follows: at the beginning of the grazing season the horses were put in one sublot, the cattle in Post •W • RESTAURANT N .. . ‘ • &r 643 So.

At the end of each two weeks the horses were moved to the vacant ldt, cattle were moved to the horse lot, sheep were moved to the cattle lot. 5. Measurements. Total gain of horses, cattle, and ewes, and everage daily gain of the lambs was the measure of production for each of the main lots. Individual weights of all animals were taken at the beginning of the grazing season and at the end of each two weeks during the test. 6. Conditions ^during the experimfnt The experiment was started in 1943 and concluded at the end of the grazing season in 1945. Because of difficulties encountered in securing and erecting fences, the experiment did not start at the beginning of the first grazing season. Only, one replicate was used in the first year and measurements of gains were obtained for' the period of July 19 to October 11; In 1944 grazing commenced on April 24 and ended August 14. Extremely dry weather during,July and August of this year caused the streams providing water in three of the lots to dry up. Because of this emergency condition, the experiment had to be terminated before the end of the grazzing season. In 1945 grazing began on April 1 and terminated October 3. This grazing season was characterized by no > unusual conditions and iwas considered to be a normal grazing ■; season for this section. ial of hortea, steers, and •was and average daily gain of lambs nnder continuous and rotation grazing, 1943 to 1950. * v steers horses ewes lambs *43 Rot’d 147 77 15.4 ’ Con. 172 87 9.8 Diff. 1 —25—10-5.8*44 Rot’d 258 202 7.7 .58 Con. 275 188 8.4 .52 Diff. —17 14 —.7 .06 ’45 Rot’d 315 255 14.6 .52 Con’ 322 283 16.0 .56 Diff. —7 —28 —1.4 —.04 Diff.

The average gain by years and the sum Of these averages for the' three year period (table 2) indicates no important difference between the two systems of grazing. Tiie differences found are of the order of sampling differences of practical standpoint <the msun question in this experiment related to relative advantage of rotation grazing over, continuous grazing when compared with the cost of extra fencing required for the segregation and rotation of animals. Even though the data cover only one complete and normal grazing season, the conclusion seems unmistakable that segregation and rotation of horses, cattle, and sheep from pasture to pasture is not likely to offer enough advantage over continuous mixed grazing to justify the extra fencing required in order to segregate and rotate. This conclusion is in agreement with the findings of Carrier and Oakley (1941), Semple and Hein (1982) and Comfort tad* Brown (1988). These authors reported that rotation and oontinuous grazing gave easeniiallp the same gains for Uef .ir. * & * , fc .*•' ft. 4* U Ctpt. and Mrs. Frank Bord«n of Washington, D.
