MONTANA COLLEGE COW HAS
MILK PRODUCTION RECORD

The highest production record ever
reached by a Montana cow was re-
Gently attained by Grace Koningen,
a Holstein COW, bred and owned by
Montana State college at Bozsman.
In one years time she produced 49,
SAT pounds Of milk containing 931.4
pounds of butter fat, which is equiva-
lent to 1.164.2 pounds of butter 80
per cent fat.
This is the second time that Grace
koningen has taken state honors for
In 1920 she stepped into
first place with a record of 25.125.5
pounds Of milk and 791.17 pounds of
butter fat. A few months later the
honors went to Helen Uilkje Calamity
at the government farm on the Hunt
ley project. Grace Koningen's latest
feat. however, surpasses the record of
the government cow by approximate
~ 1000 pounds of milk and 100
pounds Of butter fat.
Grace Koningen is a granddaughter
OF Nora Koningen, one Of the four
original cows Of the State college
Holstein herd. She is about nine and
q half years OF age and is of excep-
ttonally fine type and Of good size
Weighing when in milking condition
more than 1900 pounds.
Nora Koningen End, her dam, II
half sister to Spring Brook Bess
Burke, the only COW in the world te
have five daughters with an average
OF more than 1000 pounds of buttel
in . year.
Grace Koningen will be the stal

NOTABLE PROGRESS REPORTED

There II every reason to believe
that the replacement Of scrub and

crease. Reports received from county

BY n. q. Lewis. county agent Of
Rockbridge county. Va. II typical Of
. large number.
''The purebred BUN movement"
says Mr.. Lewis, ''is progressing rap
idly. Since January l. Is farmers
have disposed Of grade or scrub bulls
and are using purebred registered
bulls instead. On the other hand.
there are no les than 50 men In the
county who still persist In holding
out against the progress and develop
meut Of the livestock interests Of the
county By keeping inferior grade or
scrub bulls. I have . list Of Sc

men have grades that are fairly good

why any farmer will keep anything

during the last few years to prove
out the actual value Of q purebred

Some Of these actual figures were
obtained recently by the department
Of agriculture through an inquiry
sent out to more than 500 farmers
throughout the United States. These
men gave It ~ their opinion that in
all kinds Of farm stock purebreds
have IN earning power more than 40
per cent better than common stock.
It u noteworthy that In the case of
dairy cattle. whose productive power
can be easily measured, purebreds
were considered to be Ats per cent
better than common cows. The low
est percentage given for any kind Of
stock was 36.8 per cent.

KLANSMEN WORK AT DOVER
Held Initiation Wednesday Night
Which Attracted Big ThrOng

Fully 1000 people from Dover and
vicinity, with many hundred more on
their way to Bowers Beach for Big
Thursday, witnessed a public initia-
ton of the Ku Klux Klan in field
Just south of Dover Wednesday night
from 9 to 1870 o'clock. That the in
itiation was to take place near Dover
evidently became known very soon af-
ter the Klansmen began to gather in
the open lot was manifest by the
steady stream of cars going out from
Dover south toward Cooper's Corner.
The work was done in lot just north
of Cooper's Corner. Pickets of the
Klan were stationed at the entrance
of the lot from all sides. In addition
to this, a searchlight was placed near
the centre of the field, where the in
itiation work was being done and was
intruders not members of the Klan.
| Fully 100 members of the Klan were
/ in uniform, while others, without their
robes, wore headpieces shielding their
| eyes. The class initiation was large
| one and although a newspaperman
was allowed to pass the portals of the
pickets, accompanied by a member of
the Klan, for the purpose of taking
pictures, he could not distinguish who
any of them were, neither could he
recognize any of the members of the
| Klan who escorted him to within a
respectable distance of the "Fiery
Cross" around which the candidates
were escorted after taking the obliga-
tion. AS the cross died out, the crowds
began to dispurse and by IL o'clock
the work was completed and the crowd
left for Dover. This is the first time
that a public initiation of the Klan has
taken place so near Dover, hence the
gathering so soon of the large crowd
which witnessed the entire proceed
ings from a ditasnce.

DELAWARE LEADS ALL OTHER
STATES IN GROWING APPLES
SHIPPED 40 PER CENT OF EARLY
PRODUCT FROM UNITED STATES
Has More Trees to the Mile Than Any
Other State-WOnderfu Develop
ment in the Last Ten Years

Some time ago attention was called
to the fact that Delaware has more
apple trees per square mile than any
other State in the United States, hav-
ing, according to the Census Bureau of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, 548 apple trees per square
mile, New York ranks second with 287
In view of the fact that Delaware has
more apple trees per square mile than
any other State, it is interesting to
compare the actual shipments of ap-
pies from Delaware with shipments
not from any one State, but from the
whole United States. This comparison
is made on early apples.
According to government reports
the total number of cars of apples
shipped in the United States from
July l, 1922 to July 81, 1922, inclusive
was 1886 cars. OF this, 166 cars
were shipped from northern California
and the Northwest and were not early
apples. Deducting this 166 cars from
the total number of cars shipped
leaves 2,200 cars of early apples ship
ped during this period, and of this
2,200 cars, 865 cars, or approximately
40 per cent of the total shipments
came from the little State of Delaware
During the heaviest shipping season,
which was from July 1 to July 22,Del-
aware shipped 805 cars out of a total
of 1,727, or more than 46 per cent of
the total. During this period Illinois
ranked second, with shipments of ap-
proximately 436 cars. The figures fol
Delaware do not include the vast
amount of apples that were hauled
from the Delaware orchards by truck
Most of the apples in Delaware are
grown in Kent and northern SUSSEX
counties, in an area of perhaps 3!
miles long and 20 miles wide, and tn,
fact that this small section produce,
during a period of three weeks almos
as many apples as the balance of tn
; United States is evidence that Della
; ware ranks first not only in the mum
Der of trees per square mile, but in tn
actual amount of apples produced.
"The fruit growers of Delaware ar
leading the United States in their up
, to-date methods of growing apples an
they are certainly to be compliments
upon the wonderful showing that the
have made. We have the quality an
we have the quantity; now let US a
pull together for a standard grade,pu
up in standard package, and sol
under a national advertised brand
