Our "Washington Letter xf - --Bj-- • National Editorial Association Pe$/#ine Silage Does Not Affect Milk Flavor On the basis of feed, required for milk production, -using a well balanced concentrate ration, pea vine silage is worth 91 per ci--.t as much as com siJage, and with corn silage worth $3.50 a ton, pea vine-silage is worth $3.20 a ton. This is the conclusion reached at the Wisconsin College of. Agriculture following feeding trials with two groups of five dairy cows each, carried fhr 126 days, using al falfa hay in both cases. No flavor was imparted to the milk by pea vine Silage, but when it is fed it Is not a good idea to store it in the stable. .Average daily milk flow was 23 pounds per cow on o>rn silage and slightly oyer 21 pounds on pea vine silage.--Wisconsin . AgrictllturM. Washington, February 8--With only two weeks remaining it seems that the present Congress will wind up its affairs with relatively little accomplished other than the spectacular and fruitless wrangling. Nine appropriation bills authorizing expenditures of billions are awaiting attention of the .Senate. The House has si(2e-stepped hundreds of vital measures to take up their hand-picked favorites: These Representatives are now marking, time or stalling until March 4. • • - " .

The folks back home are wondering how the change of political control here will effect government job3 in their locality. It has been stated privately in, reliable Democratic sources that' the rewa'ds will, go to those "who beat the drum".

Water freezes at a temperature of only 32 degrees, but even in comparatively mild winter weather, this is too cold for the cows to drink four pounds of water for each pourid of milk they are capable of producing, these dairymen have found. The cow tester reports that of the twenty-six members, sixteen had tank heaters in operation during this month, and seven barns were equipped with drinking cups. Two members had both tank heaters and drinking C®ps, while only three members were *rflot equipped with either one of these methods for providing water of modifled temperature.

The income above feed cost was $287.92. Another herd of 20 cows produced an average of 229.9 pounds of butterfat, but the income above feed cost was only $287.74. The larger herd consumed 10 tons more hay, 20 tons more silage and 10 acres nu>re pasture, required about twice as much labor as the small herd, and put 1,- 017-5 pounds more butterfat on the ... market, yet returned 18 cents less for the year.--Wallaces' Farmer. I&j0ows. Carried at a Loss Dairy herd Improvement association records show that cows producing 10(J pounds of butterfat a year brought in an income over cost of feed M exactly $11 per cow. These cows were carried at a loss, because $11 was not enough to pay for labor and overhead. Cows that produced 400 pounds of butterfat a year returned an income over cost of feed of $136 per cow. , statute which expressly prevents certain government officials from practising before departments for a period of two years after retirement from office-; This" action -was taken sometime ago to check abuses growing up by defeated legislators selling their services as lobbyists. Hopes for real economy in government operation have been chilled by the free hand spending of the House and Senate in authorizing appropriations for the fiscal year of 1934. The much-mooted ecdnomy in veterans affairs is apparently nothing but an easily exploded bubble. The record shows increases rathe* than cuts de- ] spite the organized efforts of publicspirited leaders in business to assure' fair-play to deserving veterans with-' out unfair costs to the taxpayers. The' reputed savings at this date have been I largely on paper. The Federal government is spending two dollars for every dollar taken in at tfie Treasury till. A bankruptcy bill at its best a patchwork measure, is now before a Senate committee. The House was obliged to compromise with different advocates because of the urgency of the economic situation. It is a measure that reaches all localities and thousands of hard-pressed citizens. The prime purpose is to compel the creditor who refuses to compromise his claim, to accept tile judgment of a majority of the creditors in numbers and amount as to that which is feasible under all the circumstances so far as the debtor's assets and his ability to pay are concerned. It will be given a preferred place on the crowded Senate calendar at an early date- - Of far-reaching importance to big business are the recommendations cf the House Post Office Committee which will be submitted shortly.
