"Spring time in Mayo" was the title
of the play presented by a company
headed by the noted actor, accompani-

what critics said was one of the best
companies of players to visit Devils

BUTTER FAT
RECORD GETS
4 new MARK
Two Year Heifer Brings
376.16 POtAds For
Owner

The North Dakota record for but
terfat production in the two-year-old
heifer class has been broken. The
previous record was 376.16 pounds of
fat produced in one year held by a
COW owned by the Agricultural COL
lege. The new record is being made
by Salome's Carnation, who has in
281 days, or less than nine months
produced 401.05 pounds of fat. She
still has over three months left and
she will surely bring the total produc-
ton for the year up to 500 pounds
of fat.
Salomen's Carnation is a purebred
Jersey owned by William Page &
Sons Of Hamilton, N. D. She is not
getting any more care or feed than
any of the other cows in the herd.
She is being MIXED only twice a day
and is receiving only ordinarily good
car With ideal conditions such as
most test COWS are given, she would
do much better.
The heifer was bred and raised in
North Dakota and is being tested on
the farm where she was raised. Her
home is only a few miles from the
Canadian line. This seems like con-
elusive proof that dairy cattle can be
successfully raised in the northwest.
The Pages have several other cows
on test and good records are expect
ed from all of them.
