The b. A. C. creamery will begin
receiving cream for the manufacture
Of butter on Thursday, October goth.
Two hundred and fifty cows were
asked as minimum number and the
Farm Bureau committee secured two
hundred and eighty for the spring
opening.
With the abundance Of feed still
free from frost injury in the fields,
and with the alfalfa in huge stacks
thru the valley, it is expected that
many more farmers will patronize
the creamery than were able to sign
for the anticipated spring opening.
The Farm Bureau committee has
done good work with the College men
and are willing to continue to coop
crate for quantity and quality OF
product; for more dairy quality
cows kept healthy and clean.
The accompanying article from the
the CLUB BOY, "Why Should Like
to be a Dairy Farmer" will argue
for many more dairy cows in Cedar
valley:
The following article by Curtis A.
Beasley won the $50 scholarship Of
fered by the Mistletoe creameries of
Texas for the best statement by a
member of boys club in that state
on the subject, "Why Should Like
to be Dairy Farmers"
II in choosing the vocation to which
7 intend to devote my life work l
were to look about me at the differ
ent occupations which my friends and
acquaintance are pursuing and, fav-
orinp none, should attempt to decide
my choice would be that of a dairy
farmer.
III we were to tour the United
States studying the general condi-
tons of the people we would find the
most contented people on the dairy
farms. Here we would also find the
best improved and best kept premis-
es.
There is a larger return for your
labor in the dairy business than any
other. Take for instance the man
who keeps no cows at all, or only one
which his wife or daughter milk. He
gets up and goes to the field Mt sun
rise and two hours later the man who
has MIXED fifteen cows starts his
blowing. At night the dairyman puts
up his team, milks his cows, and from
his lavatory watches his neighbor un.
harness his team. In the fall they
both market their crops, receiving
practically the same. Then 1t is that
the old timer inquiries as to the
source of the money that bought the
new car, paid for the seven-hundreo
dollar bull, and reprinted the house
and barn. The answer is, "tha'
steady income was derived from the
dairy cow"
prefer the dairy business above
all others for many reasons:
First-It is the surest way OF
maintaining soil fertility.
Second-It is by far the most prof
table line of the live stock business
Third-It brings in an income ev'
cry day of the year and helps the liv'
ing expenses Of family through the
winter when there is no other profit
able work in which the farmer car
engage.
Fourth the cows will pay a good
price for any foodstuff you may raise
and often roughage that is not suita'
bic for the market. They buy it right
at home, thereby saving the farmer
nuch hauling.
Filthy keeping only pure-bred
dairy cattle and raising all the calves
from the best cows on skim-milk
home raised oats and hay and thereby
saving another income from this
SCARCE.
Sixth-There are more ways to sci
90 utilize dairy products than any
agricultural products.
Seventh---It encourages regularit!
with the other farm work, The cow
can be fed and MIXED by persons no
yhysically able 10 do other heavie
Asrm work.
Eighth--It offers advantages to tn
nsAn with an education since there !
more opportunity for applying
science in the dairy than any othe
place on the farm.
Ninth-My father is now that kim
Il a farmer and has paid for yalu
able farm largely through cows.
Nike the work and am sure that r vii
profit according to my ability.
