Income Doubled By Cow Testing.


Look on this picture: 1t is esti-
mated that the average Minnesota
cow produces annually 1000 pounds
of milk containing $50 pounds of
butterfat, which, at a valuation of
SO cents a pound, is worth $3.50.
The cost of feed based on COW testing
records for average COWS is 1856,
leaving return over and above costs
of $685..
And then on this: Average figures
for eight COW testing associations re-
porting for 1921 to E. A. Hanson,
dairy specialist with the agricultural
extension division of the University
of Minnesota, indicate that each COW
produced 6,379 pounds of milk, con-
tainging 258 pounds of butter fat,
which at valuation of SO cents a
pound, was worth $92.88. The aver
age cost of feed was $46.89, leaving
a return in excess of feed costs of
$45.99 which is more than twice as
much as the average cow returns.
Records of testing work kept by
Mr.. Hanson show that testing almost
invariably results in increased yields

How to make Ends Meet"

I'm the face of present economic
conditions" says Prof. Andrew Boss,
vice director of the Minnesota expert
ment Station and chief of the division
of farm soils and farm management,
University of Minnesota, farmers
must give serious thought to this
years farm business, if receipts are
to cover expenses. What can be
done? The answer is, approach the
problem from both sides, that is, cut
down expenses and increase receipts.
Addressing himself to the question,
How can expenses be reduced, I"
Professor Boss replies as follows:
Keep the farm stock on cheap farm
grown feeds, rather than on salable
grain, expensive mill feeds or COM
mercial by-products.
Hire less labor, and use the avail
able labor only on productive enter
prises.
Make the old machinery do for
another season whenever possible.
Calculate ahead what you are go
ing to get for every dollar expended
Two hundred dollars spent for good
dairy COWS may give larger~returns
on the investment than if spent for
manure spreader for which you
have only a little use.
Professor Boss says the task of in
creasing receipts is not easy in the
face of falling prices. He would have
the husbandman make the attempt,
however,
By maintaining better balanced
production wherever possible without
materially increasing the expenses.
By improving the quality of the
product, or by better preparing it for
the market
By adding new lines of production
or changing to lines that promise
best.
By reducing the cost of product
ton, thus increasing the net receipts.
By getting more for what you sell.
Combining with your neighbor in CO.
operative movements in a possible
way of doing this.
STAPLE crops, standard livestock,
livestock products and we'll organ
lied system of diversified farming"
says Professor Boss, have carried
many farmers through the tight
places before. The chances are they
will do so again.
