Local and Personal Mention
DAIRY PRODUCER DEMvNDED.

DAIRY FkODOCIK DEM VINDED'
The dairy COW furnishes 10 per cent. OF
our human food. The dairy industry IS
one of the largest agricultural industries
of our country and demands will be made
upon it in proportion to itr Importance.
Dairy products are essential to the well
being OF our nation.
The dairy COW is the most economical
of all animals in the production of human
food.
The abnormal conditions existing at this
time make il necessary that we grow our
feeds on the farm as far as possible 1t
may be impossible, next winter, to get cars
in which to haul feeds. Besides, home
grown feeds are cheapest 1t one does not
have silo, by all means plan to have one
before next fall. Plant little more silage
than you think you will need Grow at
least one ton of good legume hay for each
COW in your herd. Make the production
of feeds for you cows your first consldera-
