(Med) Benson tells E. A. Call (in top photo) as they look over the recently installed Universal Milk Pipeline. Mr. Call installed the newest thing in labor-saving devices on the dairy farms of Mr. Benson and for Bruce Fitzgerald, Fitz-gerald, whose two sons, Kay Brundage, center (a step-son), and Richard Fitzgerald, look over things with Mr. Call in the lower photo. The third su:h machine installed by the E. A. Call Service ,of Roosevelt, is at the farm of Thomas Gilbert in Arcadia. Work Taken Out Of Milking Cows With Hew Pipeline Equipment; E. A. Gaill Service Installs Machines That dairy farmers in the Uintah Uin-tah Basin are ambitious about keeping in step with progress and giving the consumer of the many dairy products the best they can buy, is evidenced by the fact that several of them have installed the latest in modern milking equipment. equip-ment. Accompanying photographs taken tak-en at the farms of M. E. (Med) Benson at Ioka and Bruce Fitzgerald Fitz-gerald at Bridgeland, reveal' that these two dairymen, along with Thomas Gilbert at Arcadia, have recently had a new gadget installed in-stalled on their farms', which is known as a Universal Pipeline Milker. These three' progressive milk farmers along with eight others have also, within the past year, installed the newest thing in milk cooling tanks. Call Is Distributor A representative of the Roosevelt Roose-velt Standard-Uintah Basin Record took a little trip last week with E. A. (Eddie) Call, operator of the E. A. Call Service, and photographed photo-graphed the new operations at the Benson and Fitzgerald farms, which have been reproduced as a part of this article'. According to Mr. Coll, whose company is distributor for the Universal Milking Equipment, those who have installed the cooling tanks have increased their profits' to the tune of about 250 per hundred. This is made possible because of the cut in freight rates. Then, too, they are producing a better quality of milk, which in turn brings a higher price on the "A" grade market. Milk which passes into the tank is cooled to the right temperature in five minutes. min-utes. Because of quality, a 120 bonus has come to producers. Labor Saving Device The new pipelines installed by Mr. Call at the Gilbert, Fitzgerald and Benson farms, have taken the labor out of running a dairy farm. When asked what he thought about his new equipment, Mr. Benson had this to say: "You know I am not as young as I was when I first went into this business, busi-ness, and if I am to continue to be a dairyman, I had to go modern mod-ern all the way. This pipeline idea has eliminated all the' lifting of cans, tanks; etc., and has speeded up production on my' farm to the extent that I can milk more cows, thus increasing production pro-duction and profits." Mr. Benson reported he' had made more profit on his cows after making his monthly payments on his nev equipment, than ever before. Bought It For The Boys Mo Fitzgerald announced he had gone' modern all the way to give his two sons, Kay Brundage', (a step-son) and Richard Fitzgerald, a chance to become self-sustaining and help produce a portion of the family income. Mr. Fitzgerald is among the pioneers of dairying in eastern Utah, having been one of the original founders of the Hi-Land Hi-Land Dairymens Association that started' in the Kamas area first, before moving to the Basin approximately ap-proximately seven years ago. . At Arcadia Mr. Gilbert has indicated in-dicated by action that he is dead serious in having one of the top dairy farms in the state. He' recently re-cently disposed of his beef cattle, and had hi.9 sights set on milking 100 head of dairy cows in the immediate im-mediate future. It is an interesting experience to see one of the new pipeline milking gadgets in operation. Milk which flows from the' cow via the vacuum milkers travels through the' line to the cooling tank without ever coming in contact con-tact with air or light. They are equipped in such a way that by a simple adjustment the pipeline washes' itself automatically without with-out additional pumping facilities. A lot of credit for the advance in modern milking must go to Mr. Call, who has become thoroughly familiar with the machinery he sells and installs. He is immediately immed-iately available for servicing the equipment as the need arises. |
