REASONS FOR THE PUREBRED DAIRY SIRE

no excuse for living, and the only
sensible thing to do is to castrate all
grade bul calves and make use Of
them for what they win bring as veal
BY the use of the good, purebred
bull very high-producing cows may
soon be the result, even with a medium
grade herd Of cows. 1t is quite easy
to understand that $50 pounds Of but
terfat produced by one COW in year
would be much more profitable than If
the $50 pounds of butterfat are pro-
duced by two cows at 125 pounds each.
Usually the services of a purebred
dairy sire may be had at reasonable
price, and If there is no bull of the
kind in the neighborhood then 1t might
pay the farmers of the neighborhood
to own one Jointly.
It would be quite conservative to ex-
pect the heifer calves from a good,
purebred dairy bull to produce at least
twenty pounds more butterfat in year
than, their dams. Estimating six
year period Of production with 20
pound annual increase above the dams
production, the get of the purebred
sire would produce 100 pounds more
butterfat in the six years than the
tlan.
If small herd of FIVE cows were
bred to this purebred sire, this would
mean 900 pounds more butterfat in the
next six years over and above what
the dams of these animals could pro-
duce.
If the average price Of butterfat in
the time is taken as 30 cents a pound,
this would amount to $3.50, or the
amount made by one seasons breed
ing with the purebred animal over and
above what could have been expected
if grade bull had been used. More
over, these cows would be capable Of
producing better calves than they
could have produced had they been
sired by a grade bull.

SAFETY IN THE SOUTH
Farmers Urged to Produce and
Conserve Food Supply.
National Problem Of Defense as I'M
portant as Men, Guns, Ships and
cannon-Do Not Increase
Acreage In Cotton.

By BRADFORD KNAPP, Chief Of Co
Operative Extension Work, States Re-
lationB Service. Department Of Agricul-
tuTe)
For nearly three years / have done
my best to warn you to prepare for
the present emergency. For years we
have tried to encourage Investigation
in the South as a basis for greater
safety, both agricultural and economic.
Since the war began In Europe we have
urged safe farming. When prices were
low you did well and made great prog
ress. When cotton went to 18 cents
and over you made large profits be-
cause of your progress In safe farm
Ing, but some were tempted to go back
to cotton. In common with many other
men, I have tried to warn you of that
danger. Cotton has not been high but
has only increased in somewhat less
proportion than food and feed.
Now the crisis is herel This great
nation must arouse herself for a
mighty struggle for liberty. People
without food and armies without ra-
tons are conquered before they can be-
gin to fight. Our greatest. safety now
lies in food production and in saving
the waste products.
If the South Is to be strong she must
have food. If this country Is to be
strong she must be well fed and have
an abundance to sustain those friendly
people who are even now fighting our
battles for liberty and democracy.
Transportation may be disturbed.
Your own defense requires you to pro-
duce and conserve your food supply.
Don't fail ncwI 1t is national prob
lem OF defense as important as men
and guns, ships and cannon.
Business men, IL seed is short can
vass the situation like patriots and set
the seed for farmers. Arrange the
credits. Furnish farmers seed corn.
soy beans, cowpeas, velvet beans, pea
nuts, sorghum, etc, at cost. See that
all things necessary to help farmers
are done. OF course, We must produce
cotton, but with a moderate acreage
and good season there win be enough.
Do not sacrifice acres Of food to in
crease your acreage in cotton. Look
ahead Get the warehouses, the feed
mills, shelters, cleaning stations, cream
cries, packing plants, etc, ready. You
musk do your share and cooperate with
