Danger of a Poor Sire
nr H. l.. CORNELL

We read many articles on the value of the pure-bred sire. Do we stop and realize the danger of a poor sire? dairyman who wishes to increase the milk flow of his cows from coco to St0G pounds year, to 12000 to 1S,000 pounds of milk per COW year, can do so. There is only one way and that is to breed your cows to high record bull-one whose dam has a creditable record and whose sire has proven good.
 No energetic, experienced dairyman will argue that scrub bull is good enough, when feed Is so high priced. What the dairymen are looking for at the present time is cows that are heavy producers. Where do heavy producers come from? From herds where the fleif- CTS are reared from good cows and sired by high record pure bred bull. This is not theory, it is a proven fact. Va rious experiment stations have published the results of such experiments. In se- lecting a sire, we must not overlook indI- viduality. Individuality goes hand in hand with high production. Don't be afraid to spend your money when buying your future herd through one animal
 A poor individual will in most cases pIouqce dH uiigdlHly animal. Like begets like-to a certain extent. Any business that is successful must have a point Tn view. A dairyman should look forward to breeding up high producing herd of fine individuals, as well as the pure bred stockman looks forward to practically the same end.
 Dairying is fast becoming one of tha leading industries of our great country. We must do our part toward the ad- NAnERrnanf and I1ntfo try. The successful dairymen must have heavy producing cows and feed them heavy to make profit at the present prices of feed
 PIan year ahead for your feed and you will have feed Don't be short sighted and wait until you are ready to III the silo and then try to buy one. Many went without silos this fall as siio men could not fill the orders Don't try to dairy without the silo. The silo has saved many cows from the butchers block this year.

Is 10.802952 cases of two dozen cans each. This isat the largest amount since 1912 and was &C., ccmplished In spite of the damagins frosts early in September which seri- ously reduced the yields.
 The army and navy will requisitfon about 100000 cases. leaving for the regular trade s,500,000 cases, a figure considerably above the total pack of 1916.

Farm Products to Move

Representatives of the United States department of agriculture, after confer ence at the office of the director general of railroads, were informed that the di- rector general has not promulgated a list of nonessential farm products which will be denied transportation facilities, and does not contemplate issuing any such order. Request was made that the department of agriculture disseminate this information as widely as possible to the farmers of the country.
 .The director general believes that un- der the plan now being formulated 1t will be possible to provide adequate transportation for farm products this year. Farmers should place orders for cars when needed with local freight agents, as has always been the practice.

USING IMPORTED WOOL

The difference between the amounts we produced and manufactured represents our wool importations from other coun- tries, We have gotten into the habit of using great deal more wool than we produced-we just send over to Aus trala or South Africa or perhaps some- where in Asia and get what we needed. But the ship shortage now interferes with that uneconomic arrangement which. in the long run will be very val uable thing for America Present war necessities will teach us the lesson we would have had to learn at some time to establish sheep production permanent- " as a part of general American agri- culture,

THE SHEEP SITUATION TODAY

tion that was rapidly becoming critical The war brought the problem to crisis
 Remember that 20 sheep will clothe a boy who Is risking his life lover there'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-02-07

The wool from 20 sheep is used to make the clothing and other equipment of one soldier. 8 Six farmers out of every seven in the United States have no sheep
 Sheep can be produced proftably on almost every farm.
 What about your farm? If you keep 20 sheep you are quitting soldier who you have a flock of 200 sheep you will clothes 10 men who are fighting in France
 Get some sheep.
 They make both meat and woodland both are badly needed. By proper man. agement they can be produced on the average farm without entailing re- duction of other like stock, and without interfering with any other agricultural plans.
 More than the entire wool production of the United States will be used for our armies. Where will we get the wool to make clothes for the civilians? Every ship is needed to transport men and supplies from America to Europe Unless the necessity is extreme we can't spare ships for long voyages to Australia, South Africa and South America to get wool. Furthermore, those countries have not increased their production. The problem must be solved by the produc- ton of more sheep on farms throughout the United States. We must produce our wool at home instead of hauling it from the other side of the world. We can do that if the six farms out of seven that have not kept sheep will be- uit, tn hYtfJ rtv, the size of the farm--at the ratio of one sheep to each three acres.
 .s VALUE OF PRODUCTS
 Sheep in proportion to the value of their products, are produced more eco nomically on the farm than any other live stock; the feed and labor require ments are less. They fit in with prac- tically every kind of farming; get much of their subsistence from forage from grazing weeds and grass that would not support other stock. They eat almost no feed that has a value as human food and need less grain than other animals They add materially to the farm revenue but add very little. relatively. to the farm expense. <
 Since 19l4 wool and mutton prices have doubled and some grades of wool have Ftrebled.e Those who are in close touch with the sheep industry believe that att tractive prices will continue During the war overproduction seems impossi- ble. settfs
 The United States now has i 200. 900 fewer sheep than in 1914 Our production of wool has steadily declined since 1910, when 1t was 321, ,S62,760 pounds. to 29o,- l920O0 pounds in 1914 2SS, 1000 pounds in 1916 and 25.573,oO0 pounds in 1917. But while our production decreased our man. ufacturing consumption increased from bSo356,525 pounds in 1914 to 737,67S. .S24 pounds in 1S16 In 1917 the amount man. ufactured wifi be even larger, and 1t seems certain that it will continue to increase during the war

COLLEGE SPORTS
ALIVE AND KICKING

Looked on as a War

NEW YORK. Jan 1S.-College
sports are alive and kicking.
They have been given the stamp
of approval by a jury consisting OF
nearly everybody OF importance
from Pres't Wilson down.
They are looked upon now as
war time necessity rather than
field for wasting time. They are
patriotic and they must be contin-
ued.
Athletics for every male student
enrolled in institutions Of learning,
from prep schools 10 universities,
are quite the thing, and with the
recommendation OF the National
Collegiate Athletic association back
ing them up it appears that they
are going to have a good year.
The moss-covered idea Of develop
ing the husky specimens into high
" specialized athletes has been
eliminated from the general plan
CT things athletic. Henceforth some
form of athletics for all students
will be the main idea, and the lads
who should be getting red blooded
exercise instead of sitting around
with their noses in a dime novel or
a text book Il hours out of II, will
be given an incentive TO get out and
exercise their ankles.
