NO MAUI FAIR
BUT HOG SHOW
Especial starBuuetin cOtrespondspce1

Especial tar-BuQetin Correspondence
Waikiki, Maui, June Maui
will not have a county fair this year,
but she will have a hog show, some
time in October or November.
This has been decided upon by the
local Berkshire Breeders Association
and at the meeting of the county fair
directors, last Friday afternoon, Off
cial sanction was given to the project.
H w. Rice, who is one of the lead
ing swine breeders in the territory,
brought the matter to the attention of
the directors and asked that a COM
mittee be named to handle the enter
prise.
Much Interest Given
Maui county is known to have some
of the bluest blooded porkers in the
territOry-Or the country, for th2t mat
ter, for breeding stock has been
brought here from the finest herds in
the United States. A big impetus was
given hog raising by the county fair
last year. Mr. Rice stated, ana IT.
leading breeders believe that it would
be mistake not to push along the in
terest already aroused.
Killing Breeding Stock
1t was stated at the meeting that
owing to the high price of feed, hog
raisers in kula and other sections
lave begun to slaughter their brood
sOWs. Because of the probable in
creasing importance Of pork in the
reXt few years, an effort will be made
to check this practise

NY. CAPITAL
PLANS PLANT
BORDER Line
TO ACREAGE
SUGAR CANE

Sugar cane. the giant saccharine bear
inc stalks that yearly are becoming more
and more in evidence in the lower Rio
Grande Valley, will line the north bank Of
the Rio Grande from point n few miles
below Brownsville to n point fifty or sixty
miles up the river, and extending away
north ten 10 fifteen miles, II plans now un-
der consideration by New York capitalists
whose combined rating goes over and be-
yond r2O0,000,0O0 mark, come 10 fruition.
According 10 sugar men in the Valley in
touch with the proposition more or less,
the proposition j. one of the most extensive
in the sugar producing field that has been
considered since several years before the
tariff was lifted from the product, and
whether it will be carried out depends
largely upon the report of Miller A. Smith,
sugar expert, who was in the Valley few
days ago in the company of Hiram z. Hart.
After going over the Valley, Messrs.
Smith and Hart left for New York City
where the fesult Of Mr.. Smiths observa-
tions will be reported.
Mr.. Smith J. said to be associated with
the lIavemcyer sugar interests. and some
years ago he submitted to those interests
a report that resulted in the financing and
launching of an SS0,000.00O sugar cane
growing proposition in the island of Cuba.
Necessarily, he has the complete conf
dence Of the capitalists he repre-
sents, and the same informantS. following
his departure, said that he indicated that
he was greatly pleased with the possibili-
ties. and the showing made ~ the San
Benito sugar mills and the 1000 or 5000
acres now under sugar cane. A. result
il j. predicted that his report will be favor
able.
Ii the project goes through il is be-
lieved that not less than S50.000.000 will
be the ultimate investment of the sugar
interests, which viii make the Valley the
real sugar Bowl Of America The plans
in view contemplate the coordination Of all

iected. and the construction of several

WINTER DAIRYING is QUITE PROFITABLE

came in the spring these same cows
picked up their naturally waning milk
flow and finished up with a good year
ly production before going dry late In
summer. What is still more impor-
tant, however, from the profit point Of
view, is that the fall-freshened cows
produced the larger part Of their rec
ords while milk prices were best. With
the common idea that 'grass is cheap
feed" therefore, this agent would cou-
pie the fact that ''butterfat is usually
cheap at the same time"
High January Record.
The highest January record Of this
association was made by cow which
produced 1,730 pounds of milk, or ap-
proximately 200 gallons, 81 per cent
test, or "a pounds Of butterfat. Her
milk, however, was sold on city milk
route and brought 20 cents gallon,
or approximately $40 for the month.
On the other hand, II the owner had
sold his product on butterfat basis,
he still would have received 1920.
As 1t cost him $5.37 to feed the COW,
hrs profit on a butterfat basis would
have been $13.S3.
On this farm the cows get practical
ly all the alfalfa hay and corn silage

The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-01-26

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
When asked why they preferred to
have all their cows freshen In the
spring, number Of farmers In north
western state said positively that win
ter dairyiDg did not pay in that sec
ton. The agent of the cow-testing
association, therefore, investigated a
number Of farms to determine wheth-
er 1t was the best practice in that re-
gion to have cows freshen In the
spring because there is then plenty Of
grass, and grass Is a cheap feed"
He found that the spring-freshened
cows gave milk for time while the
pasture was good, but as hot weather
and flies came on, the flow gradually
decreased until by fall they usually
were dry. AS the owners thought 1t
did not pay to feed a dry COW, the
cows were allowed to browse around
all the fall, picking up what feed they
could, and in many cases they were
forced to rustic" around the straw
pile all winter. AS result, In the
spring many cows emerged with ribs
showing and were considerably weak
ened by the time they freshened. They
therefore got poor start in the sea-
son, and in many cases their milk
records the following year were still
