Dear Mr.. Murray: The conservation
of this springs heifer calf crop is
a serious proposition and one which we
must tackle right away. 1 am in
formed that 40 to so per cent of the
calves sold for e are heifers. About
80 per cent of the high grade Holstein
heifer calves to be dropped this spring
will be vealed, judging by the present
conditions This is being brought
about by a combination of high prices
for veal, high prices for milk, and
scarcity of help, each factor being of
about equal Importance. 1t seems to
me that we cannot wait for outside
buyers to come in. That is too I'M
certain. Ii we can assure our dairy
farmers an average price of about $25
for month old high grade heifer calves,
l believe they will hold them. Here
is where the state and the u. S. Depart !
ments could help us if they would but
guarantee the dairyman a market.
Selling for veal is along the line of
least resistance, but l am sure our
farmers are patriotic enough and love
dairy stock enough to feed their

excellent examples of the old-fashioned. con-
ventional ghost A very great aunt OF
mine, for instance. once yentured alone into
this room and was met by stalwart be-
