uary calves from the time they start eating until grass comes. Once grass arrives, creepfeeding can be discontinued until the latter part of summer Mast says this keeps early calves coming on and in a thrifty condition when spring grass arrives.
Yields of Grass
and Legume Mixtures
Higher yields of forage may be obtained by mowing than by grazing ladino cloverorchardgrass and alfalfa-or chardgrass mixtures, say two Virginia scientists. H. T. Bryant and R. c. Hammes Jr. report that in a four-year period yields from ladino c 1 over-orchardgrass averaged 4,800 pounds per acre of dry forage when mow ed. When grazed by animals the return was 3,200 pounds per acre. Average yearly alfalfa-orchardgrass yields for five years were 7,700 pounds per acre when mowed, compared to 6,800 pounds per acre when grazed by animals. In 1961 all plots were mowed to estimate residual effects of grazing compared to cutting management. The ladino-or'chardgrass plots which had been grazed yielded about 1.80C pounds less forage per acre than plots that had been mowed*
