ing the good cows the hind of food that
they best respond to, and breeding, or
selection of the best available materiai
from which to build the future herd.
1t is now four years since the organ
ization of the Cow Testing Association
in Los Angeles county, and two years
since its activities were taken over by
the organization of the dairy depart
ment of the Los Angeles County Farm
Bureau. in order that the dairyman
might also have the machinery for at
tacking their other important problems.
Has it been successful2 Has 1t been
practicale
Four years ago, one tester was en-
ployed. and the members herds num-
bered approximately 900 head. Today
three men are constantly in the field,
and we hope to have another after
July ]. The AZ member herds include
over 4,300 cows, the number actually
milking and tested last month being
1861. AT the beginning, the average
production was 2s.5 pounds of fat per
cow per month. Now it is a third
higher, which means that by advanced
methods this number of cows is now
being made to produce 100000 per
wear more than when this work was
begun.
Largest in Country
This association is now probably the
largest organization of its kind in the
country, and the production attained in
members herds has attracted national
attention. Our members won u large
proportion of the monthly and yearly
awards in the state dairy cow competi-
ton, and have been quoted regularly
bv the western branch, dairy division
of the United States department of
herd average, or individual production.

BUSINESS LIKE METHODS PRE-
VENT FARM WASTE

The man who makes investments
and devOtes considerable time on any
project for the purpose of making
money is generally known as a business
man.
The successful business man is con-
tinually striving toward increased eff,
cheney in all his lines of endeavor.
Wherever an irregularity is detected
which tends toward q reduction in
profits he resorts to logical procedures
to prevent further losses from that
source. This is quite noticeable today
in our commercial institutions and fac
tories. The owners or managers Of
such concerns not only devote time
and thought each day to tho reduction
OF expense but they lose considerable
sleep at night pondcring ovar methods
by which their Noduets may be pro-
dueed apd marketed Ut the least OK.
pense. They realize that waste means
q reduction in profits and unless pre-.
vented may eventually lead to finan'
cial ruin.
The same situation applies to our

agriculture for the high association,
compared with all other such assoela-
tions west of the Rockies. Some months
ago, we had the pleasure OF reporting
to the federal department of agricui'
ture the five highest producing COWS
ever reported by one association IN q
single month. These cows averaged IL
pounds Of fat each for the month. Dur
ing March we again exceeded this
figure, with five cows making total
of STA pounds Of fat. During April,
1ls3 COWS exceeded 40 pounds of fat,
207 made over 80 pounds each, and four
over 100 pounds each. This represents
more than double the proportion OF high
producers in other large associations.
In order to furnish permanent rec
ords of this work, the records OF the
monthly tests on each cow are entered
and signed by the tester in loose'leaf
book, each leaf being made in the
form of certificate of production,
with a place for diagram Of color
markings for identification Of the ami
NAL. 1t has been proven that such
records have n very substantial value
in selling the stock, the certificate be-
ing transferred to the new owner as
absolute proof of the quality OF his
purchase. This form of record, which
was devised for our own use, has proven
so we'll suited to the purpose that it is
being widely copied throughout this
state and elsewhere.
As a further incentive to improve
production, every COW tested is auto
matically entered in competition in
which monthly and yearly prizes offer
ed by various firms are awarded for
individual production; for best groups
Of five cows and for herd averages,
separate classification being made for
pure, bred cattle and grades, and for
different size herds. Our members
should not forget which firms have CO.
operated in this movement for the i'm
provement Of the dairy business. The
cups which were distributed last year
were exhibited at the livestock shows,
farm bureau meetings and elsewhere,
and caused a great deal Of general in

on which with the aid of nature we
engage in the production Of agricultur,

houses we are obliged to market our
products in such a way as to reap the
greatest profits.
When the California department OF
agriculture considers the methods pur-
sued by many of our well-meaning agrl-
culturists, there arises the question as
to whether or not they, like other
branches of commercial activities, arc
always on the alert for factors which
cause waste and thereby a reduction in
profits. In numerous instances it ap

Washtngton News Bureau.
Rocig Ialapd Argus.


Washington, D. c., Nov. - A
government census will be taken
in Illinois during November, the
department Of agriculture here has
announced. The count, however,
will not trouble city dwellers, for
it will be entirely rural. And its
object will not be q check on the
farmer, but ON his pigs.
The idea of a pig census" was
conceived last spring by Secretary
OF Agriculture Wallace and Illinois
was one Of the II states in which
it was given a trial. Rural mail
carriers were employed as census
takers by permission of the post
Office department. The plan proved
SO successful that 1t was decided
to apply it to the whole country
this fall.
Illinois rural carriers will be
given approximately 100000 cards
to be distributed in the territory
they serve and farmers in the state
have been especially urged to CO.
operate in furnishing pig produc-
ton figures from their farms.
The census is considered OF great
importance to the farmers OF the
country rather than to the pigs
themselves. Illinois stock raisers
who expressed apprehension last
spring that the information they
were asked to give might be passed
on to the packers have been as
sured that such an ideas is erro-
neous.
Packers, live stock commission
men and others who deal in live
stock have extensive organizations
for informing themselves Of pro-
duction figures, department Off
Gals declare. The farmers have
difficulty in. obtaining much infor-
nation andNt is the purpose of the
present pig census to overcome
this.

With
Richmond

Replying to the boost which
George W. Wood gives George H.
Richmond. who seeks to step from
the county treasurers office back
into the sheriffs office, | want to
say, as foreman of the grand jury
that investigated vice conditions in
Rock Island county in 1918. that
Richmond took every opportunity
to block the states attorney in a
complete investigation of condi-
tons, and sought to limit the in
vestigation so that it would not re-
veal his own connection with con-
ditions that prevailed at the court
house. These conditions could not
have prevailed if he. as chairman
of the board Of supervisors, had not
tolerated them. While he was
member OF the board of supervis-
ors he also sold coal, hardware
and building materials to the 'coun-
ty, thereby violating tfe statute
tense punishable by Imprisonment
in the penitentiary. All these
things he did not want investigat-
ed, and it was for that reason that
he sought the appointment of an
attorney to conduct the~investiga-
ton, whom he could control and
direct.
The story OF that fight is long
one and not to the credit of Rich
mond, but there are more specific
and direct reasons why Richmond
should not be reelected sheriff.
During the four years that he serv-
ed as sheriff, to my knowledge he
did not lead single raid on a
bootlegging joint or gambling den
or house of prostitution. The few
arrests made by his deputies were
made after the states attorney had
employed private investigators to
collect the evidence. paying them
out OF his private funds, and then
had placed the warrants in the
hands Of the sheriff with specific
directions to serve them. You
have probably noticed that he has
attempted to cover up his short
comings in this respect by pointing
out that he has obeyed the law by
feeding the prisoners at cost and
has accounted for fees earned. An
officer cannot expect credit for
picking out the laws he wants to
obey and then ignoring those with
which he is not in sympathy. He
also neglects to tell you that after
he was nominated on the Republ-
can ticket in 1914 and his election
seemed assured, and while he was
still chairman of the board Of SUI
peryisors he had the board increase
! the sheriffs salary from $500 to
! s.. 500 a year. He also neglects to
| tell YOU that the policy adopted by
him as chairman of the board OF
SUPERVISORS with respect to the
building of the new county Jail
makes necessary the bond issue OF
SIPS, 900, which you are asked to
| provide, and that his administra-
| ton of this affair will cost the tax
