Tense at IFS meeting Monday night:
Resolved. That the State Council

possible shall be provided with the
necessary help required and to this

rollment of all who are able and will
ing to help the lation develop and
conserve its food-producing ability.
The men and boys who cannot go
to the front to fight the nations bat
ties are called upon TO do their part
in this hour of their country's peril.
Let there be 10 slackers, but all do
their part in this emergency. The
responsibility is all individual one and
we most earnestly urge patriotic

Teaching of German Dying

OF the Gerl ran language in the public
schools of Nebraska, made possible
by the passage a few years ago of
the Mockct: law, will probably be
abandoned next year in all schools,
according to reports received by w.
II. Clemmuns, state superintendent Of
rublic instruction.
The German language in our
schools is dying a gradual and natural
death" said the state superintendent.
"A numbe. Of schools dropped it i'm
mediately after war was declared Ny
opinion is there will be few petitions
to have it taught in any schools i'll
the state next year.
Under the law, which permits the
teaching OF any except an Oriental"
language, school patrons must petit
ton the board of education to insti-
tute class in German. 1t is manda-
tory on the board to comply when
the petition is properly filed.
An attempt was made to repeal the
law at the isstSsession of the legisla-
ture, but tie attempt failed.

Il have heard nothing OF it, de

However, il camping sites arc re-

Fort Crook Is one of the largest

ments Of the soldiers.
One reason why Omaha may be
chosen as big mobilization point. it
is asserted, is because Of the prohibi-

The moral effect of dry communi-

mia. and North Carolina" by Morton o. Cooper and c. NJ. Bennett.
 The fact that the cost of feed is shown to be at least one-half of the total cost of producing milk on the farms is cited as evidence that the feed items is of great importance to the dairyman who seeks to reduce the cost of pro duction. It is pointed out. how ever, that the greatest economy of production is not always at tained by cutting down the feed cost. and that sometimes it is necessary to increase the feed bills in order to increase profits.
 The question of feed supply is held to be one for individual so- lution. Just how near the spec. ialized dairyman should come to growing all the feed required by his dairy herd is question of in. dividual business management One man may find it more profit able to grow all the feed requir- ed, while another may increase his profits by supplementing the income from COWS with crop sales and purchase part of the feed. In a few localities in the United States crops may be se- lected that will not only yield a product for which there is a ready sale at good prices but
The Carlisle independent., 1917-03-22

which also leave on the farm much feedable material. Sweet corn is an example of this type.
 It is pointed out that when this practice of supplementing the dairy business with the produc- tion Of cash crop is feasible, it is often good business for the dai- lyman to sell crops and buy con- centrates, and that if by the growing of cash crop, it is pos Sible from the net receipts of acre to buy quantity of concens trates equivalent to that which could be raised on 1 12 or } acres, it would be folly to grow the concentrates.
 In a discussion of the dairy la Dor problem, special attention is directed to a system of winter dairying practiced on one of the four farms, where profitable em. ployment for labor was offered at a season when otherwise there would be little to do and yet sum- mer work on crops was not in terrupted.
 Of particular interest to the dairyman who is considering the question of building up his herd is the fact that thougL it was found to cost more to keep the COW that gives a high yield than one that gives a low yield, the unit cost of the milk produced fell in all cases as the production per COW rose. Of perhaps great CT interest to the average dalry man, however, is the further fact that the decrease in the cost of milk per pound was much greater. in the step from the poor COW to the COW of fair quail ity than in the step from the fairly efficient COW to the good COW or the exceptional cow" This fact is cited as evidence that the first step in building up a poor dairy herd (that is replac- ing scrubs with grades) is not merely the easiest step, but also the one which promises the most for given expenditure of mon. ey and labor.

Cost of Milk

A detailed study of the cost of producing milk on four farms, recently conducted by the Uni ted States Department of Agri- culture, leads to the conclusions that on those farms feed dc counts for one-half or more of the total cost, the remaining charges being divided about equally between labor and other items, such as shelter. use of equipment, use of bull, interest depreciation, and overhead The conclusions are based upon an exhaustive analysis of the busi- ness of the four farms, each of which is representative of type of dairying While the actual costs on the farms, as elsewhere vary from year to year, the ratio between each item and the total remained nearly uniform when
 the same system of management
 was followed. It is believed,
 therefore, that milk producers
 throughout the country will find
 valuable suggestions in the re- port of this study, just publish ed as Bulletin 501 of the Depart ment of Agriculture, and entitled
