Forage Grasses
Used In Water
Pollution Study
A method for using ferti
liser elements in the liquid
runoff from manure lagoons
to grow forage grasses for
livestock feed was outlined
ibis week by a U. S. Depart
ment Agriculture engineer.
•Harold •J. Bby reported
that fertilizer discharged by
manure lagoons adds to pol
lution in rivers, streams, and
lakes. The nitrogen, phos
phorus, and ipotassium in
such runoff nurtures growth

slimes Which clog and foul
recreational waters, kill fish,
and serve as breeding
grounds for mosquitoes, Eby
Mid.
He reported specifically on
jireliniinary laboratory tests
is which forage grasses were
grown in runoff from manure
lagoons. The tests, -which are
being conducted cooperative
ly with the University of
Maryland, indicate that the
grasses are effective mechani-

Two Pennsylvanians On
Eastern Plant Board
HARRIHBURG Two rep
resentatives from the Bureau
of Plant Industry, Pennsyl
vania Department of Agricul
ture, were elected officers of
the Eastern Plant Board at
its annual meeting last week
at Virginia Beach, V«.
Henry F. Nixon, bureau
director, was elected president
for the ensuing year. Arthur
Jeffery, entomologist, a mem
ber of the National Plant
Board during the past year,
was named secretary-treasur
er for the next three years.
Eastern Board members are
cal and chemical filters for
removing the dissolved solids
and using up the nutrients.
The forage can be used for
hay, silage, or green chop.
Tests show this system
may also be adapted for sew
age treatment, Bby said.
Such a system for both live
stock and sewage clean-up
would result in discharge of
a compa natively pollution
free effluent.
