Roughages Scarce For Cattle A shortage of rain fall during the fall together with severe cold spell during late November and early De cember has made the supply of win ter grazing a serious problem to livestock producers, especially dairy men. With the short hay crop and limited amount of silage, feeding problem wiM be further complicated. To meet this situation at least par tially, C. G. Cushman, leader, Dairy Extension work of Clemson college, makes the following suggestions. “First feed the dairy cow all the roughage she can veat. The best is fast growing, tender grass, top qual ity silage, and green leafy legume hay. As these are now very' scarce, a substitute must be found among the lower quality roughages such as corn stover, rough grass hays, cot tonseed hulls, oat or barley straw. Take every advantage for grazing com stalk fields, hay fields, or other lands where residue grass or grazing of any kind is available regardless of its quality. The dairy cow must be kept up.” Grinding suen roughages as corn, straw, or low qualify stemmy hays may be advisable during this short age of quality roughage, Mr. Cush man points out. They should be chop ped and not ground too fine. Blackstrap molasses mixed with water art the rate of one gallon of molasses to two gallons of water -will encourage cattle to eat these low- class roughages. Molasses is also an excellent feed in its own right. Itf these lower class roughages must be used, grain feeding should be increas ed. A 16 percent digestible grain ra tion is advised instead of increasing the protein contest of the grain ra tion. In many areas of the stage, corn in the shuck is cheaper per ton and a cheaper source of digestible nutrients than just fair hay, beet or citrus pulp, Mr. Cushman says. The cob and shuck are fair roughage and the com, cob, and shuck, if ground, are bulky and can replace a considerable amount of hay or other roughages. Four to six pounds per cow per day of ground corn, in addition to the regular grain mixture, are advised in case of severe shortage of quality roughages. In substituting low quality rough- ages for high quality roughages, a mineral supplement should be fed. he advises, as low quality roughages are low in the essential minerals of calcium and phosphorous. These can be obtained in free-choice feeding of steamed bone meal or some other commercial minral mixture in cov ered mineral-feeding boxes. Christmas Trees Can Be Fire Hazards At this season of the year, people are looking forward to Christmas with much joy and happiness, es pecially the children are looking for ward to Santa Claus bringing their presents and leaving them under the Christmas tree. The burning of the Christmas tree, home and maybe some member of the family would be j a sad remembrance. The Forest Products Laboratory has found that about the best thing 1 to aid in preventing Christmas trees j from catching on fire, is to keep the t tree standing in water. When the tree 1 is erected in the home, the end of !th trunk should be diagonally cut off jat least one inch above the original cut which would allow the tree to i absorb water freely throughout the f tree. j , This treatment does not replace special care in using electrical equip ment on the tree. Defective electrical connctions can b a serious hazard iCare should be taken not to put the i Christmas tree near window eurtatrts ; which are easily to catch on fire in case the tree ignite. It is not a good plan to leave Christmas Lights burn ing on the tree while no one is in the room.

Dr. C. B. Jackson of Dallas, asso ciate director of evangelism for the Texas Baptist convention, said, “As useful and beneficial as education is, it is no way to lead people to Christ.” The Texas churchman spoke before the Baptist Pastors’ conference. “Men and women are led to Christ ianity through their emotions—not through education,” he said. —ii ii i ii ■ i ■ I, n. .I,.. Nationwide Prayer Urged For 10 Minutes Indianapolis, Dec. 10—A ten-min ute nationwide holiday for prayer in the present world crisis was urged yesterday by the executive commit tee of the Isdiana junior chamber bf commerce. The committee asked Indiana mem bers of congress to present a resobi- tion to that effect in congress. The committee noted in a statement that in the present situation “Godfearing nations are pitted against atheistic Russia and her satellites,” and said: “It is therefore suggested that the President of the United States de clare a nationwide legal holiday of ten minutes on a normal workday for nationwide prayer, so that a!l the people of the United Sitates can simultaneously humble themselves ibefore God and pray for his aid. It is suggested that all work cease at •this time; that all churches throw open their doors. “Certainly if a nationwide holiday can be declared in celebration of our independence, ten minutes can be spared for nationwide prayer that we keep it.” Dr. Felder SmHh Optometrist Laurens, S.

We can’t foretell the future — hut we can tell you this right now: You’ll look a long way before you’ll find a car that offers as much for the money as you can get in a 1950 Buick. Close to half a million of these cars have been built and sold this year. Close to half a million people have checked their features land prices against the field—and decided they’d better buy Buick. As to prices—they start down below some sixes. And whether you price the Special, the Super or the Roadmaster, you’ll find, on a cents-per- ____ pound basis, that few other cars can touch them for value. v And this is for sure! When it comes to perform ance — ride — the way they handle and hold the road —and thrifty use of fuel and oil —Buicks have never been finer. That’s another way of saying that coil springs on all four wheels—Dynaflow*—torque-tube drive —and Buick’s high-compression, high-economy Fireball power produce an out-of-this-world combination. So if you want your dollars to do extra duty— the time to act is now. Look at the price tags—look at the features — sample the power and thrill that you get for your money —and you’ll know what we mean. *Dyn»fio*o Drivt it tttndnrd on flOADMASTMt, tptional at Surat and SracitL mtdtls. *205650 $2311.50 *2958.50 HORRl'*** TO QKATff ., •***i*"t t ‘ jSTwi*** en d loC> *•*£ \[ Jfflr* yon d*** guick 0 !H& r Tata It HiNiYJ.
