Miljus Has Seen Increased Butterfat Production Brought About by Right Feeding. Much Service in Box. tha United State Department of Agriculture.) Owners of dairy cows In California have added $64,297,051 to their Income over a period of seven years by raising the average butterfat production per cow for the entire state from 1S3 pounds In 1920 to 239.2 pounds In (Prepared bjr 1927, says B. 11. Crocheron, director of co operative extension work In California, In a statement submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture. On Way to Goal. At the beginning of the effort In 1920 the California extension service set up us a goal, to be reached In ten years, a state average production of 205 pounds of butterfat per cow. Seven years' concentration on a dairy improvement program. Including proper feeding, breeding, and culling, bus brought them well on their way to accomplishment of the goal within the time set During the seven years the number of cows under test lu the regularly or organized associations Increased from 30,000 to over 70,000. The work of these associations is the basis for the Improvement program. From tlit testing records Is derived the information necessary for proper feeding, breeding, and the detection of unprofitable animals In the herd. Other Big Factors. Other factors in bringing up the average In butterfat production have been competitions both In Individual production and community records, efficiency studies of Individual herds, use of better breeding stock, Improvement of health of herds, provision of better facilities for euro and management of herds, and the Introduction of belter management methods and better stock through the dairy work of boys and girls who are members of clubs. Only the sustained effort of the extension staff and dairy cuttle owuers oil a long-timprogram, however, Director Crocheron believes, bus made It possible to thus move forward the entire production of a slate and collectively Inlluenee the average of over half u million animals. iI e CarThe Zion-Mt- . mel highway, one of the greatest scenic roads in the world, now under construction In southern Utah, ' will not be officially opened until May, 1930, when prominent men from all parts of the country will be Invited to participate In the dedication.

He won 11 and lost 15 that summer nothing to bring a high league scout that fur west Three years later he pitched such effective ball for Hastings In that same Nebraska league that he was signed by the New York Yankees., The first thing he developed In the big league was a sore arm. For the next four years he was knocked around the minors with a vim and regularity that would have discouraged anyone who did not have a lions heart . Then his arm got well and he pitched so effectively for New Orleans in 1921 that Brooklyn signed him the next year. Thus It was that Dazzy Vance be Testing Seed Oats for Germination Is Advised Testing of seed oats for germination Is advised by L. F.

In Still Hard Hitter Alfalfa Pasture Great Help in Producing Pork Alfalfa pasture will produce more pork per acre on the average than any other forage crop. It Is one of the earliest pasture crops to be available In the spring and If kept clipped when necessary during the summer. It will provide good forage until late In the fall. Under average conditions an acre of alfalfa will pasture from 10 to 20 shotes, depending on the conditions previously mentioned. It should not be pastured too closely ns it does not stand very heavy foraging. It prob-ublwould be best to pasture It In such a way as to permit the cutting of two stmill crops of hay during the season In udditiou to the pasture furnished. Alfalfa is a crop that is high In protein and mineral matter, both of which are very necessary in animal growth und which are decidedly lacking in corn, the feed that forms the basis for practically all hog rations. For this reason alfalfa Is doubly valuable as a forage crop. They call Roger Hornsby a baseball nomad because he never settles In one place for very long.
