COWS ON PASTURE
need SOME GRAIN.

Does it pay to feed grain to dairy
cows when they are turned out to
pasture? This is q question that claims
the attention of dairymen at this time
Of year. In most cases there will be
an increase in the. milk flow from a
herd when the cows are fed grain in
addition to the pasture, but will the
increase in milk flow pay for the
amount Of grain fed? When the cows
are first turned to pasture in the spring

TO FEDERATE CHURCHES

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 2.-To reduce
the number of congregations in the
oyerchurched communities OF Mich
gan Is the principal object of the new
State Federation of Evangelical
Church, which will hold its annual
meeting during the coming week.
Plans have already been perfected for
merger of the Presbyterian and
Methodist societies of Brighton, Mich,
into one strong church, and similar
consolidation is expected on the part
of the Baptist, Protestant Methodist
and Lutheran congregations, giving
the village two strong churches in
stead of five weak ones. Brighton is
but an example of dozens of over
churched communities in Michigan
where movements have been started
toward consolidation.
The federation hopes to bring the
number of Protestant churches in the
state down to ratio of one for every
500 population, In many cities, towns
and villages there are now churches
for each $50 or 200 people. The conse-
quence is that few of them are self
supporting and nearly all drag on
the mission funds of the different de
the only apparent reason
FOR their struggling along being to pre-
serve UNCONVENTIONAL fences. The |
minister's are underpaid and great
many are forced to devote much of
heir time to outside interests.
1t is also alleged that while most of
he lower Michigan towns are over
,hurched, many towns in the upper
'eninsula have no churches at all.
;ome of these churchless communities
ave as many as twenty-five saloons.

TRIPARTITE COOPERATION.

Director B. Youngblood of the Texas
experiment stations left today for
Washington to close the details for co.
operation between the United States
department of agriculture, the state
department of agriculture and the
Texas experiment stations.
This agreement was outlined at a
meeting held some time ago at A. G
M. College, and means the expendi-
ture of about $4,000 per year in
Texas by the United States govern
ment in connection with the expert
ment work which will be Jointly con-
Quoted. This money has not hereto
fore been available in Texas.
This cooperation between the gov
eminent and the state will mean a big
work.

TO sUPER|NTEND COTTON
BREEDING EXPERIMENTS

H. H. Jobson, who graduated in
agriculture at A. & NJ. College in 1908
has been selected as cotton expert foI
the Texas experiment stations, to dc
the work under the Clarkson fund
recently announced by Director b
Youngblood.
David B. Clarkson of Chicago first
contributed $500 in cash with which
to purchase the necessary seed for the
work and then he created an endow.
ment Of $1,000 per year for FIVE years,
which is to be used in securing a bet.
ter production of cotton and a better
staple. The work is to be done by
scientific breeding. Director Young
blood selected Mr.. Jobson for the work
because Of his ability in cotton breed
ing.
So well pleased is the state board
in charge of the experiment stations,
composed of Governor Colquitt, Lieu
tenant Governor Davidson and Agri-
cultural Commissioner Ed r. Kone.
with the work under the Clarkson
fund as it promises to turn out that
they have contributed from state sta
ton funds one-half the salary of Mr..
Iobson. The cotton expert work will
be conducted at the main station at
A. & NJ. college and at the Temple
station.
