Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1916-05-25

| "HE inception of the Kansas
Farmer Dairy Club dates back
more than year. In the weekly
conference the president of the company,
Albert T. Reid, suggested to his editors
that the KANSAS FARMER back its I'M
swerving faith in diversified farming by
offering an inducement to the Kansas
boys and girls who would help the paper
prove its claims for dairying, believing
this one of the surest routes to perma-
nency for the man who has turned his
face toward this state which is so brim-
full of possibilities.
That suggestion was the spark which
kinded the fire of enthusiasm over the
plan. These men worked on the idea I'M
tiringly for months, seeking to fill it
with educational advantages as we'll as
to hold out prizes for those who would
work the hardest. One of the greatest of
these advantages was conceived when it
was decided that the bankers of the state
be given an opportunity to cooperate in
the plan by loaning the money to the
boys and girls to be used in purchasing
cows for the club work.
The planners realized the value the
negotiations with the banker would be
to the young people, and the bankers
upon having the club plan explained to
them, quickly saw their opportunity to
have an important part in a campaign as
its object the making of business men
and women and citizens of integrity.
More than a hundred loyal bankers re-
sponded to the invitation by offering to
loan the money needed to reliable boys
and girls of their acquaintance
At this juncture the dairy club plan
was publicly announced, and Immediately
the enrolment of members began. The
working plan of the club is as follows;
Any boy or girl in the state, between
the ages of II and IS years, who can
qualify to the satisfaction of the banker
OF other local business man who is will
ling to make the loan. is eligible for
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1916-05-25

membership. The banker must first be
visited and all arrangements with him
completed. If he considers the risk
favorably, the applicant signs an agree
ment with the bank, also note draw
ing interest, for the purchase price of the
COW.
With the loan assured, the dairy club
member is ready to seek a suitable COW.
There are no restrictions in this matter,
and either grade or pure-bred of any
breeding can be used in the club work,
the only requirement being that the
milking record must start on or before
September l, 1916. The record may
start any time from now up to and in
Guiding that date, but not after that date.
AT the time the COW is bought, blank
sent for this purpose is filled out by the
club member and mailed, and at the time
the COW freshens and the years record
begins another blank bearing this infor-
nation is sent.
A record of the daily milk produc-
ton and Of the feed consumed by the
COW, and its cost, is kept by each club
member. The milk is carefully weighed
each day, also the grain fed and the
roughage given the COW is estimated
Not later than the tenth day of each
month reports of the daily milk and
feed records are to be made. These re-
ports will be the basis for making the
awards at the end of the year. After all
expenses have been paid the contestant
is to turn over to the bank before the
tenth day of each month the net pro-
ceeds from the sale of products as a pay
ment on the note.
On the fifteenth of each month com
posite sample of the mornings and
nights milk is to be taken and sent to
the Dairy Department of the Kansas
Agricultural College at Manhattan,
where it will be tested for butter fat
content. This test will be used in calcu-
lating the total butter fat produced for
the month.
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1916-05-25

The points upon which the awards will
be given at the end of the year, are as
follows:
Total production for year. 0 to 80 points
Profit over cost of feed
and interest .........0 to 80 points
Records and story of work. 0 to 20 points
Quality of product .....0 to 20 points
The prizes for the club have not yet
been published, but number have been
offered by interested parties, among
them being a $3.50 silo.
To the boys and girls competing in
the dairy club, milking cows is not
dsagreeable, uninteresting task. They
are financially concerned with the re-
suits. Each day as they look over the
records they can see the net proceeds of
their work increase, and what boy or
girl would not be proud to go to the
bank at the appointed time and make
the payment on the note which they
gave when the COW was purchased? And
then there is the calf. Some club mem
bers already have fine heifer calves and
are looking forward to the time when
they will be full grown cows. As the
months go by, the debt at the bank will
steadily grow less and there will be the
hope that the record being made will win
one of the big prizes at the end of the
year.
Dairying is a type of farming that
brings in the money and little fertility
goes from the farm in the product sold.
These facts will be firmly fixed in the
minds of the contestants. Who can esti
mate the real value of this club work?
Much of it can be seen now in the start
made in business training, but it is not
within our power to even guess at the
value from the standpoint of creating
lasting interest in dairying and helping
these boys and girls to look carefully
into the possibilities of life on the farm
before giving it up for the unknown OPP
portunities in the city.
