COLLIDE BY NAME, GOLD MINE
BY NATURE, WAS LAME COW

Before certain Missouri farmer
joined the cow-testing association he
owned a good herd in which was an
old crippled cow named "Goldie." At
that very time the owner was trying
to sell her for SIS. To his surprise
the Babcock test not only placed poor,
old, crippled Goldie at the head OF the
herd but at the head of the whole as
sociation. Her yearly production, as
shown by the records was $500 pounds
of milk and 526 pounds of butter fat,
and her yearly earning over cost of
feed was 1867. Goldie belonged to a
herd whose average yearly butter-fat
production was $50 pounds, vet she
was almost so per cent above the av
erage of the herd, and more than 200
per cent superior to the average dairy
cow OF this country. Among the cows
on test in the 46S cow-testipg associa-
tions are many like Goldie. The true
records furnished by cow
testing associations have prevented
the sale of large number of unassum
ing but fairly highproducing COWS.

up, necessitating the removal OF ma
terial which makes mining costs high.
Coal coming from Canada and crude
oil from California makes it very hard
at best for the Washington mines to
meet competition. The price of coal
must be cut to meet this competition
or the mines must remain closed. Cuts
of $1.OO to $3.50 per ton are contem.
plated by the operators, depending on
the grades.
The cost of living has been reduced
in this state, according to statistics,
about AZ per cent since the peak Of
1920. It appears the wage reductions
are we'll within this limit and II the
miners fail to accept the offer they
are impeding the progress of the state
and working hardship on the public,
particularly the farmer who has had
to accept a cut of more than a hun
dred per cent on the products of his
labor. There is no reason why the
miner should not accept a cut at least
to that taken by other lines of indus
try.
Reopening of the mines would i'm
mediately give employment to a large
number of men and that at time
when jobs are scarce.
Readjustment is an easy matter. 1t
is much better to conciliate, though,
than to bubble and quarrel over seem
ing wrongs and errors. 1t does not
appear as though the whole state
should suffer for a difference of opin.
ion that ought to be patched up. and
quickly at that.

The reopening of the mines will pro-
