Special to Timcs-Repuhiican.

Special TO Times Republican.
Ames, April 24.--After ten years OF
experimentation with herd of scrub
cows, brought nom the ozark hills re-
tural experiment station has announced
results in a breeding ana feeding test
that prove more conclusiycly than has
ever been proved before that good
bull. plus good feed and good care
used continuously thru several gener-
ationS, will mean increased milk pro-
duction and more profits for the far
mer.
These results mark milestone in
dairy progress in the United States.
They offer the first definite proof TO
buck up what the farmers and ex-
pertinent station men have long be-
lieved in regard to building up a herd
by a good sire and good feed and care.
This experiment, known around the
college campus as the Arkansas COW
experiment, was begun in 1907 when
Hugh c. Van pelt, at tina; time head OF
the dairy husbandry work of Iowa
State College and agricultural expert
mcnt station. brought herd of SCRUB
cows and calves from the Ozarks'
Since 1910, H. H. Kildee, A. {. Nc
CandIish and l.. S. Gillett have been
in charge of The work.
The experiment is the only one OF
its kind that has ever been attempted
by any station. 1t will be carried on
for q number OF years more and pro-
badly will 90 down in agricultural his
toryas one Of the most striking in
vestigations ever carried on.
Tell Tale Of Wonder.
The records of the descendants OF
the Arkansas scrubs, sired by pure
bred Guernseys. Jerseys and Holsteins,
tell a tale Of onder t. the Initiated
dairvmen. The Guernseys Of the sec
ond generation show Al increase o,
IS per cent in milk and ~ per cent
in fat over their scrub ancestors. Inc
second generation Of Holstein grades
averaged 11,120.T pounds of milk ann
402. 0S pounds ~ fat. or an increase u
1914 per cent n milk and 1873 per cent
IN fat The one Jersey that has com
Melted an equivalent record produced
"a per cent more milk and II per cent
mare fat than her SCRUB ancestors.
The second generation OF the three
breeds taken together showed an aver
age production OF s,40l.s POUNDS Oh
milk and 35S.17 pounds OF fat, or an
increase in two generations OF l3o per
cont In milk and 100 per cent in butter

KEEPING MONEY AT HOME
(atter Suitable for Editorial chauauqua
Opens).

In every town there are a few peo-
pie who see in everything new and I'M
usual possibility of harm and who
oppose bringing into the community
any outside ideas. Even in this en-
lightened day few-we are glad to
say of our community that there are
very few-Oppose so useful and bene-
fetal an influence as the Chautauqua
which Is to open here next week.
The chief reason these on-progres-
sfyes advance against this great insti-
tuition Of entertainment and education
Is that ut doesn't belong to our town,
so why should we give 1t our money
and support" The first part Of this
statement, at doesn't belong to our
town. Is the greatest advantage
gained from the Chautauqua, because,
coming as 1t does from outside our
horizon, 1t brings new thoughts, new
ideas and new suggestions for the So
luton of present day problems. We
all need this new inspiration. 1t doesn't
mean that we are to change our ideas
and ideals, but it is useful to know
how the other fellow thinks.
But" it is asked, "why should we
pay our money to an out-of-town at
traction?" The most direct answer is
"bccauSe it keeps money in the town"
Almost everyone at this season of the
year is planning to take a vacation,
and mary are wise enough to take it
at home when the Chautauqua comes
to town. For through it they enjoy all
the best entertainment that the city
offers and are saved the expense and
Inconvenience of travel. They stay

NO MATTER WHAT 1T is, IT'S THE
BESTl

The remarkable part Of the program
offered by the Community Chautauqua
has always been that while every form
of high class entertainment is present
ed it is hardly possible to say which is
best. Each attraction is different from
all the others on the program and from
all others in the same line. But it has
to be the best to get on the program of
the Community Chautauqua.
This years program surpasses the
high standard set by the Community
ChautauQua in previous years and is,
but an additional reason for theI
unique reputation possessed by Conn
munity ChautauQua of presenting thei
fAest five-day ChautauQua in America.
