New forage crops
(Continued from Page A 23)
supply protein for lactating dairy
cows. The nutritionist used
rotational grazing to keep the
forages in the vegetative stage and
thus prevented them from going to
seed. The pasture produced 1,600
pounds of male protein per acre,
and the cows averaged 50 pounds
of 4-percent milk a day without
supplemental protein.
Block seeks ag ed aid
WASHINGTON, D.C. Sec. of
Agriculture John R. Block has
asked all state governors to sup
port a national project keyed to
educating elementary and
secondary school students about
the role of agriculture in the
. national economy.
During a National Agriculture
Day ceremony held at the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Block
mailed a petition to the 50
governors explaining the
educational project and asking the
governors to endorse the project
Hie petition was already signed by
seven former secretaries of
agriculture.
“When I contacted the
secretaries - Brannon, Benson,
Freeman, Hardin, Bute, Knebel
and Bergland - and sought their
support, they gave it willingly,"

Forage specialist R. R. Seaney,
Cornell University, Ithaca, says
red clover has gained ground since
the introduction of more persistent
and disease-tolerant varieties:
Arlington, Florex, and Redland, as
examples. They produce one year
longer than older varieties, have
bred-in resistance to northern
anthracnose, and often will out
perform alfalfa on poorly drained
soils.
Block said. "This is one issue on
which we are in complete accord -
the cricital importance of
educating our young people about
the role of agriculture in the
national economy. ’ ’
Secretary of Education Terrel H.
Bell joined Block in promoting
support for the agricultural
education project.
The project, known as
“Agricultural in the Classroom,”
is a cooperative endeavor in
volving representatives of farm
and agricultural organizations,
educators, state departments of
agriculture and education and
USDA.
Guided by a 16-member national
task force, “Agriculture in the
Classroom” is already operating in '
17 states.
