PUREBRED SAORTHOUN
AS CALF CLUB PRIZE

White Legacy, 4 beautiful purebred
Shorthorn now in the herd of the
State College of Agriculture, will BIO
given as a prize to some memDer
OF the Georgia Calf Club at the South
eastern Fair in Atlanta in October To
be eligible for this prize one must be
a member of the Calf Club and have
exhibited at the county fair previous
to coming TO the Southeastern.
Any calf TO be eligible to compete
for the prize must be grade caS
and sired b. registered Shorthorn
bull. The name and the register num-
Der of the sire OF each competing calf
must be given at the fair The con-
test is open to all members of the
Calf Club, which is composed of both
girls and boys.
AS indicated by his name the. bull
is pure white in color. He is straight.
haYe4 in lines and possesses a smooth
ness and symmetry throughout that
makes him pleasing to the most criti-
cad eye. He is valued at $3.50, and will
go into the ring at the Southeastern
weighing we'll above 1000 pounds and
showing as two-year-old.
White Legacy was sired by Scotch
Legacy, for many years the principal
stud bull of the Lespedeza herd al
Hickory Valley, Tennessee. While at
the head of this noted nursery of high
class Shorthorns, Scotch Legacy had
the distinction of string the grand
champion calf herd at the Interna-
tional Livestock Show held at Chicago.
Here it was that his get met and sue
cessfully defeated all comels in the
calf herd class from both the United
States and Canada.
When it is remembered that White
Legacy has the same sire as the victo-
.rious lot OF youngsters that won at
Chicago his value becomes apparent,
and should give great impetus to the
work and interest in the Georgia Calf
Clubs

Value OF PuUEBREO
Sire TO HEAD HERD
Scrub And Grade Bulls Legislated Out
Of Existence In Oregon

TO turn other than purebred bulls of
a recognized beef breed upon the open
range east of the Cascade mountains
in Oregon has been made unlawful by
action of recent Oregon legislature.
This law, which the cattle men them
selves demanded, demonstrates clear
ly the unlimited confidence and faith
which Che ranchmen place in purebred
sires
In the twenty-five years just passed
no section of the country has effected
such a steady and consistent improve
ment in its cattle as has the western
range. The persistent use of pure
| bred sires has changed a motley col
lection of outstanding, narrow, shallow
Joined, heavy horned cattle into the
most uniformly good beef cattle bred
in any section of the United States.
Although the ranchmen could buy
plenty of well made beef bulls of non
| descript or even very high grade
blood, they are so overwhelmingly in
| favor of the purebred bull that they
| now recognize him as the only legiti
mate sire of their calves and have leg
| islated the scrub and grade bulls out
of existence.
The most common objection to the
purebred sire is Il cannot afford to
buy one a few figures will demon
strate the fact that the breeder can
not afford to be without one. The fig
ures given is the record of two cows
at the Iowa Experiment Station.
A common scrub COW purchased in
Arkansas was placed in the college dali
~ herd and given feed and treatment
the same as the purebred cows in the
herd. She was mated with a pure
bred Holstein bull and the resulting
grade heifer in her first lactation
made record that more than doubles
that OF her scrub DAM The dam gave
1883 pounds of milk within the year
and the grade heifer gave 4,704 pounds
OF milk or 1856 pounds more than her
dam. This increased flow of milk in
the grade hefer for the year was
worth $1S19.
Given herd of ten such scrub cows
and placing scrub bull worth $40
with them, we should not expect an in
crease in their milk production. How
ever, if purebred bull worth $50
were used his first ten heifers would
pay in the first lactation period a com.
bined profit of about $3.50 more than
the daughters OF the scrub bull. This
amount represents the difference in
price that the farmer can afford to pay
between q purehFed bull and a scrub.
The profit to be derived from a pure
bred sire does not end with the first
generation. There should be more
daughters and many more lactation
periods. The breeder is also building
up a herd of uniform appearance and
superior production. What is true of
dairy cattle holds true with other

The development Ot Alaska during the past two years has been checked along some lines because oi abnormal con- dltious thus created. while along oth- CT lines and in other ways its dcvcl- Opuu1nt has been acCcntuatcd Co a rec markabIc degree. For instance. Alaska has forged Co the front as producer of copper tho value of it's fisheries production has increased. while Gt the same time its production of gold has showed no great advance.
