at the Experiment Station show the
improvement which takes place in
quality and quantity of wool COM
mon ewes shear about five pounds
of wool. Grade ewes sired by pure
bred rams will shear from one to
three pounds more per head, a gain
directly attributed to breeding.
Instances of the effectiveness of
the pure bred sire may be multiplied.
The Kentucky farmer will not make
a mistake by giving close attention
to the grading up of his herd and
flocks by use of pure bred good
sires.
"An investment in a good herd
bull frequently will bring returns
that are almost incredible"

care for them at a loss.

To the keen observer, the impor-
tance of good stock requires nc
proof of figures. However, there is
an abundance Of evidence as to the
value of improved stock in dollars
and cents. The average COW, the
average steer will scarcely make a
profit for it's owner. 1t only is
through better than production OF
more commercial production that
profit accrues to the farmer. The
road to economy in production,
whether meat, milk or eggs is better
breeding.
"a pure bred beef sire of good
individuality will raise the quality of
his offspring at least two grades
over that Of scrub sire. The diff
ference in price between the grades
of feeders is about 40 cents per
hundred weight or SO on a thous-
and pound steer. This difference is
solely due to the use of a pure bred
individual of quality and the mar
kets daily reflect the Importance Of
breeding in the price paid to the
producer"
The returns from the use of a
good pure bred beef sire compared
with those of poor scrub are strik-
ing. Recently the results of the use
of good sire were compared at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. A 5 year old scrub steer,
sired by a scrub bull was killed. It's
weight was 1927 pounds, the dress
ing percentage 81 and its value $134.
The high grade steer, sired by pure
bred bull was two years old, weigh
ed 1923 pounds, dressed GA percent
and was valued at $780, This strik-
ing example of the value of breeding.
Another example: Experiments
carried on at the Kentucky Expert
ment Station over a period Of six
years, show that the lambs sired by
good pure bred rams will weigh s or
10 pounds per head at five or six
months of age than will those sired
by scrubs. The superior quality and
finish make them sell on the markets
for at least 1c more per pound.
Carefully conducted experiments

Raise Better Live
Stock Movement

A direct appeal to the farmers Of
the State to awake to the Importance
Of raising better grade meat animals
is made by Dean Thomas P. Cooper
Of the College Of Agriculture of the
University of Kentucky. The appeal
is made in connection with the cam
paign Of The Kentucky Pure Bred
Livestock Association and the Louis
vile Livestock Exchange for better
livestock and in particular with re-
gard to the Farmers Better Sire Sale
to be held at the Bourbon Stock
Yards, Louisville, June 2nd., when
200 pure bred registered bulls will
be sold at auction to the farmers of
the State.
Dean Cooper's outline Of the cam
paign and review of its purposes
follow:
"The pure bred sire campaign is
great national movement for the
betterment of the livestock industry.
Two years ago the United States
Department Of Agriculture first be-
gan systematic work in cooperation
with the state agricultural colleges
for the avowed purpose Of eliminat-
ing the scrub sire and eventually
scrub stock"
Careful students Of the livestock
industry state that there are three
great sources Of economic loss in
livestock production-poor care and
feeding, disease and inefficient pro-
duction, which is a combination Of
care and feeding and Of breeding1
1t is the well known law of breeding
that it is the tendency of like to
produce like Hence the scrub re-
produces the poor qualities as does
the pure bred individual of good type
reproduce his good qualities"
Scrub stock is responsible for a
large percentage Of low farm labor
incomes. The farmer may use eff
ficient machinery, good work stock
and have the soil in productive con-
dition, yet unless his livestock are
efficient producers he will feed and

of a chance to contribute to the
fund to purchase ''Federal HILL" the
old Rowan homestead near Bards-
town, where Stephen Foster wrote
my Old Kentucky Home," as a me-
mortal to the author of the most
appealing state song ever written.
Tardy recognition has been given
the composer, and the movement to
buy ''Federal Hill' and make it

one. The Foster masterpiece was
a work of inspiration 1t shares with

should be prompt and generous.

Properly Prepared Soil
Saves Corn Cultivation

Experiments conducted for num-
ber of years by the Kentucky Agri-
CULTURAL Experiment Station show
that if the soil is thoroughly pre-
pared before corn is planted, the
work of cultivating after planting
may be reduced to that necessary TO
keep down weeds. The same ex-
periments show that before corn
comes up and while it is still small
the cultivation may be done with a
harrow or weeder.
Three or four civilizations we're as
good as seven or eight, the expert
ments proved, providing that the
civilizations controlled the weeds.
They also showed that shallow cul-
tivation was as good and not as ex-
pensive as deep cultivation if weeds
were controlled. If weeds become so
tall that deep cultivation is neces-
sary to kill them, then this form of
cultivation is to be recommended.
No moisture is saved on we'll order
ed soil by cultivating after the corn
is knee-high, the experiments show.
