Foremost In Crops and Cattle

the Holstein Counties Of South Jersey,
were represented at the Trenton Ar
mory during Farmers Week, January
10-14th, by the Grand Champion bull
and Holstein booth.
Our association tops all the five
local associations by a membership Of
l05. The recent cenSu of the Hol-
stems in South Jersey shows that
there are vel 1000 mead OF pure
breds.
The features of the exhibits in the
booth were the accomplishments of
the last year, namely:
Grand champion Bull, Trenton Fair,
1920.
State Record Cow, 1919, 1920.
Best Bred Bull in New Jersey.
When the breeders saw the pictures
and placards boldly presenting the
facts that proved South Jersey to be
a real Holstein section, they began to
ask questions. A County agent, who
by the way comes from Somerset
County stated that he didn't believe We
had the 'best bred bull in New Jer-
sey." He stated we had better re-
move that placard. He removed his
coat and made the attempt. Word
Just reaches US that he likes his nurse
very much.
The Grand Champion was there on
exhibition the whole week. Mr.. Davis,
of Bridgeton, the owner, states that
the bull rather enjoyed the trip IN the
truck. Spectators who saw him take
all the honors at Trenton Fair state
that he has improved remarkably, and
that there is no doubt as to his being
a Grand Champion.
An ear of corn about 16 inches long,
grown by Clifford Crispen, of Lower
Penns Neck, Salem County, was on
display at the booth. Everyone wanted
to know "where it came from"
One old fellow figured that it had
987 kernels. When we told them that
after searching a half day it was the
smallest we could find, they we're
doubtful as to whether or not to be-
lieve US.
Illustrated circulars to the extent of
500 were distributed among those in
terested, describing the Holsteins of
South Jersey. 1t is the object of the
local association to make South Jer-
sey the greatest Holstein center IN
New Jersey, and to answer the wants
of the southern States, which are in
the market for pure breds.

cause the goat uses its head IN getting
what it wants. The local Holstein AS
ISOLATION is going to adopt the same
insignia. endeavoring to advertise
South Jersey to supply the demand OF
the South and in addition, make the
public automatically think of South
Jersey as a Holstein center.
Dairy Queen of America
Proof that the Holstein-Friesian Is
the greatest breed in the world for
production is again to be found in the
newly made record of the cow Segls
Pietertie Prospect 221S46, who at SIX
of age, has made the largest
amount of milk ever produced in a
wear by any COW of any breed. This
record, which was made under the
rules of the Advanced Registry de
partment of The Holstein-Frleslan
Association of America, is 1854 IDS
of milk containing 1859 lbs. of but
ter. Her daily average for the year
was 1924 lbs. of milk, or nearly 4 lbs.
of butter. During the year she made
a seven-day record of 1918 lbs. OF
butter. Such a yield, which was al
most twice her own weight OF mix
every month, would mean a gross re
urn, ct five cents per qra1t : $V69.Ao,
or at fifty cents per ID. for butter,
S722.95 for the year. !,
This COW was not officially tested
when she ~freshened as a yearling and
did not drop her second calf until she
was in her senior four-year-old form,
when she made a seven-day record OF
1920 lbs. butter. The calf she dropped
at the beginning of this years record
was her third, while her fourth, due
TO the service of Carnation King
Sylvia, June so, 1920, is due in April
1921.
Segis Pietertje Prospect is sid r
be of a highly nervous temperament
but in excellent physical condition,
weighing over 1000 lbs. She was dry
a little more than two months. Dur
