PROF. HOLDEN
MAY VISIT HERE
Famous Farm Expert With Auto
Demonstration Train to Spend
October in Inland Empire

kennewlck alfalfa growers will be
given an opportunity to have their
soils tested and practical demon
stration made on their own partic-
! ular places during the month of
October, if present plans do not
miscarry. The Spokane Chamber
of Commerce has made arrange
ments for a trip through this Sec
tion of the famous auto train carry
ing Prof. P. G. Holden and his
party. Professor Holden is the man
who accomplished so much for the
corn raisers in the Middle West and
who, as head of the farm extension
work of the International Harvester
company, is putting alfalfa on the
farms of Ohio and Michigan.
The Spokane Chamber entertained
Prof. Holden few hours last week
and urged upon him the vital need
of one of his campaigns in the In
land Empire. In spite of his in
sistence that the demands of the
Middle West were so great that his
time was booked up for the entire
year, he finally agreed to wire in
temporary reservation for the month
of October. Upon his return in
about two weeks to headquarters in
Chicago he will make this reserva-
ton definite agreement if the peo-
pie of this section convince him that
we want him and that we are ready
for his work.
His train never goes into COM
munity except on the invitation of
that community; it never stops at a
farm unless the farmer has asked
for it. At the last meeting of the
city council it was agreed to ask the
party to stop at Kennewick and
make examination of the soils, etc.,
and make such suggestions for the
betterment of the crop as they see
fit. 1t was reported that the Com
mercial Club had received the same
invitation and that they, too, had
asked that Professor Holden's party
stop at Kennewick.
The special work to be done by
the train cannot be determined un-
til the Professors experts have
tested our soils and examined our
conditions and thus determined
what one particular feature will
work the greatest good for the COM
munity. This work will be done
preliminary to the final trip and
will only be made ON the places
that have asked for it. If any
farmer desires to have the soil on
his place tested it is suggested that
be communicate with either the city
council or the Commercial Club of
this place, who will see that the
communication goes into the pro-
per hands.
None of the expenses of the trip
are to be paid by the local commun-
tiles. Thus there will be no charge
for the demonstrations. The only
thing that will be asked of Kenne-
wick in the event that the Holden
party can visit here, will be to
handle the local arrangements, that
is, to arrange the local meeting
places, provide accommodations for
the party, while they are here and
take care to see that the Kennewick
meeting will be success.

each week and testing 1t once each
month will give practically the same
results as weighing and testing each
milking.
BY taking these weekly and month
ly records and making yearly aver
age It is easy to determine how much
milk and butter each COW has pro-
duced for the year.
This is but one-half the question.
Some cows are fairly large producers
but not economical producers. Others
may produce less milk or butter yet
be more economical producers.
A light feeder may digest her food
perfectly and be an economical pro-
ducer. We should keep record Of
each cows feed one day each week
and its market value. in connection
with the weighing and testing Of the
milk.
This will show what pound Of
milk or butter costs from each COW
in the herd.
Sell the cows that produce butter
for twenty-five cents per pound and
keep all that produce pound for
fifteen cents. The scales, the Bah
cock test and pencil and paper will
assist in wedding out the Improbable
COWS from the herd.

farm, Sidnaw, Mich. Her record un'

The man who has made two blades
of grass grow where but one grew be-
fore has been looked upon as pub
lie benefactor. But the man who has
succeeded in producing one blade at
less cost has worked out more com
plex problem.
Increased production does not al.
ways bring an increased profit. In.
creased profits from the dairy bust.
ness must, in a measure, come from
more economical production.
To reduce the cost OF production
we must have COWS that by their
breeding and individuality are adapt.
ed to our needs. For the butter and
cream producing dairy. the Jersey
and Guernsey cows have certain ad'
vantage because Of the character OF
their milk, which contains a higher
percentage Of butter fat.
The Holstein and Ayrshire cows
are compelled to elaborate more solids
to produce the same amount OF fat
This Is breed characteristic.
On the other hand the Holstein and
Ayrshire cows can produce milk solids
more economically and are better
fitted for the production Of cheese
and market milk.
Within the dairy breeds we find q
greater difference between individual
cows than between the breeds. We
are keeping too many cows. We dc
not know what they produce nor how
much they eat. Some pay profit and
some are eating up the profits made
by the others. II takes the profits
from the good cows to balance the
loss from the poor cows.
The first step toward reducing the
cost Of production is weighing and
testing the milk from each COW In
the herd often enough to keep good
line on what she is producing.

will probably not be settled until the
body meets and a caucus is held. Ed

and has many promises Of support.
He is the chairman Of the Democratic
caucus of the House. Judge Martin

General, and Democratic floor leader,
i, the House, IS his most active oppo-
nent. Hugh a White, Of Rockbridge,
who took leading part in the tax

is receptive candidate. Harry r.
Houston, of Hampton, Is an active
candidate, and will have the support
os the eastern section of the state
generally. Major James N. Stubs,
of Gloucester, one of the veteran
members Of the House, is mentioned.
Speaker Richard Evelyn Byrd did
