ALL FOR NEW ORLEANS
SOUTHERN STATES WANT HER
TO GET EXPOSITION.
United Delegations Coming to Wash
ington to Urge Claims for
1915 Show.

New Orleans not only has the entire
state Of Louisiana back of it in its
fight to obtain the celebration of the
opening of the Panama canal in 1915,
but it is gaining the support Of the
other gulf states. In fact, the entire
south is rallying to her call. The state
legislature of Louisiana will adjourn next
Tuesday afternoon to come to Wash
inston to press the claims Of New Or
leans. In addition to the members OF
the legislature will come Mayor Lyons
of Mobile, Ala: Mayor Rice Of Houston,
Tex; Mayor Hayes Of Vicksburg, Miss,
and Democratic National Committeeman
Joseph Daniels of Raleigh, n. c. The
mayor and chamber of commerce OF
Chattanooga, Tenn. will send repre-
sentatives to urge that the celebration
be given to New Orleans.
A telegram telling of the decision Of the
state legislature to adjourn and come to
Washington was received last night by
4. p. Thompson, chairman of the New
Orleans Panama exposition committee,
who is here with Mayor Behrman of New
Orleans arranging for the coming of the
big delegation of citizens from the south.

Rebuilding Her Efforts.

New Orleans sent a large delegation of
prominent citizens to Washington several
weeks ago to urge that the celebration be
accorded New Orleans. But the recent
visit to Washington of a delegation from
San Francisco, asking that the celebra-
ton of the canal opening be given to the
Pacific coast, has caused New Orleans to
redouble its efforts.
MIR. Thompson and Mayor Behrman are
making arrangements for hearings for the
New Orleans delegation before the con-
gressional committees which will have to
pass upon the bills for the proposed cele-
bration and exposition. They both de-
clare that they will not ask the govern
.nent for a cent. Mr.. Thompson says that
the state of Louisiana has already raised
IS, 10000 as a fund to start the exposi-
ton and that they expect to bring the
sum UP to S5O,O0OOO0. for they intend to
hold the greatest exposition that has
ever been given in this country.

Knowing the possibilities in store
for dairy farming and realizing the
possibility of doubling the income
from the dairy products and in this
manner adding to the wealth of the
Iowa farmer nearly half as many dol
lars as a bumper crop Of corn In a
year Of high prices. all forces are at
work to accomplish the result. The
last general assembly appropriated
$4,000 to the Iowa State Dairymen's
association to enable them to do more
effective work along educational lines
in dairying. With this money they
have hired dairy experts to conduct a
campaign with the one end in view
increasing the butter products of the
Iowa COW. To accomplish this result
no stones are being left unturned.

more profitable products and an in

him, too, to realize that there Is a
bright future for the dairy business
on his farm If conducted along proper
lines.
Short Courses in DafryIng.
Short course schools are probably
one of the very best means of educa-
ting the farmer dairyman. although it
is impossible to reach so many during
short period of time. But those to
whom education is carried through
this channel have an opportunity to
learn a great deal more that will be

instructors remains with the one class

course dairy animals of proper form.

points to be observed in selecting
dairy animals are pointed out and
practically demonstrated with the live
animal. Methods Of securing the very
best animals for the production of
milk and butter fat are discussed, and
Of course this brings up the study
of breeding, raising and developing
dairy cattle. Feeding the dairy cow
is an all-important point, and this
matter is discussed every day during
the week with the students. Caring
for milk and cream on the farm is a
real live question at the present time.
There is another possibility here in
that, by the proper care of the milk
and cream from the time it is MIXED
until it reaches the creamery. it will
not be difficult to increase the price
per pound of butter shipped out OF
Iowa by one cent and this means an
income in itself of over $4,000 per
year. Practical demonstration of the
proper methods of milking the COW
are given and it will probably be a

herds that produce an average Of over
400 pounds of butter year. and this
means that each COW on the average

OF over 500 annually for the butter she
produces. There is possibility that
the production OF even these better
herds can be gradually Increased. and
this is best proven by the fact. that
in these herds are to be found many
cows that are producing much moro
than 400 pounds of butter. while 9th.
ers are producing q lesser amount
One Is not surprised nowadays to
find COWS that have produced from 700
pounds tori 900 pounds butter .
year. and few COWS already have
produced over LOO pounds Of butter
In 365 days. There is a possibility of
doubling the average production Of
the cows with very little expense. In
fact. only three things are needed to
accomplish this. namely: Better
dairymen. better cows and better
methods Of caring for and feeding
them. To double the average produc-
ton Of the COW would mean that she
must produce an average of $50 pounds
OF butter annually, and no doubt the
time will come when She will be doing
this. for as a matter of fact her pres.
emit production Is not making for her
owner any great amount of net profit
even at the high price OF butter fat
In older countries we find the cows
average in production even more than
ESQ pounds of butter per year. Among
these countries are Denmark, Holland.
New Zealand, the Jersey and Guern-
sey islands and other countries.
Little Improvement In tho Average
Dairy Cow.
In most lines of agriculture tho
American farmer Is most progressive
and leads the world. During the past
number of years he has been busy i'm
proving his herds Of horses. hogs and
beef cattle as we'll as his farm equip
ment. and has overlooked the i'm
portance Of the dairy COW. Likely
this Is the reason that we find him to-
day milking COWS that are no better
than the cows he was milking Is years
ago, and in many cases of a quality
even poorer. He has considered the
dairy cow as more or less side 10.
sue and as sort of a troublesome no.
cessity. At this time, however. with
the great advancement in the price Of
land and the problem of making his
farm better instead of farming it to
death, he has looked around him and
found that of all farm animals the
good dairy COW is at the present time
returning to her owner more net
profit from her daily product, helping
in making the farm better, and that
her calves are selling for a higher
price than ever before, and at great.
er profit than any other animal on the
farm. He has found that there is a
vast difference between the COWS that
he is keeping. and in many instances

surprise to the dairyman to realize
that there is as much to be learned
regarding the proper way to milk the
dairy COW as there was to be learned
regarding the growing Of corn five or
six years ago. After the cow has been
milked at these short courses the
milk Is weighed, then sample taken
and tested with the Babcock tester to
determine the percentage Of butter
fat found in the milk; and after all
this is probably the very most impor-
tant thing to be learned by the dairy
farmer at the present time, because it
enables him to find out which of his
cows are good ones and which of
them are the improbable kind. and
this certainly must be the first con-
sideration in building up the herd.
He must get rid Of his poor COWS and

he finds standing side by side under
exactly the same conditions and re-
ceiving the same feed both in quantity
and quality. two cows, one Of which
is producing 100 pounds of butter a
year while the other Is producing 500
pounds of butter in year. It takes
only moments consideration to dis
cover. when his attention 1, drawn to
this fact. that one of these cows-even
though she consumes five times as
much feed-reQuires five times az
much labor to care for her and milk
her; even though she might occupy
five times as much space in the barn
or pasture. is five times the more
profitable COW of the two.
Doubling the Production Of Butter.
This is fact that is found on near.
ly every farm at the present time, and
right now the dairyman is struggling
to get rid of the poor cows and keep
a larger number of COWS, but it is diff.
ficult for him to find them because
during these same years his neighbors
have paid very little attention to the
building up of their own dairy herds
and the same conditions are found
upon their farms-a few real good
COWS and a number of real poor cows.
He, too, has discovered the difference
between good cows and poor cows,
and the result is that to build up at
once good herds of dairy cows is prac-
tically an impossibility. and it will
take a considerable length of time to
make the great necessary improve
ment in our herds. Nevertheless, the
necessity of lettering our dairy condi.
tons is apparent. 1t is possibility
to double the production of dairy
products with the same number Of
COWS in milk, which means that there
is a possibility of producing annually
in Iowa instead $60,000,000 worth of
dairy products, $12o.0oo,ooo worth.
which lack a very little of amounting
to as much as does the annual corn
crop of the state.
This, no doubt, will be a surprise to
the reader, as it Is matter Of Iowa
history that the corn crop is by far
the most important of all Iowa in
dustries. There is, however, no area
the size Of Iowa in the world that is
better fitted for a large, economical
and profitable production Of dairy
products. Everything except the good
COW is present There is no better
feed than corn when fed in proper
amounts and proportions, and there
is an abundance of pasture grasses,
clovers, good climatic conditions, fresh
water. intelligent farmers and good
markets. =:
