The DAIRY AS A
SOURCE OF PROFIT

The dairy cow has won a well-de-
ierved place in program for pervpgn-
ent and prosper ious * ,tling. The day
is passed when she is to be looked
pcn Only as a means of relieving the
family budget. Time after time she
las proved godsend when crops
failed or the market for them de-
chncd. In view of the fact then that
cow has often proved to be the
savior of the day in depressing times,
he is worthv of careful study as a
permanent enterprise for profit on the
average farm.
In many instances the cow has been
looked upon solely as means of
bringing cash income. She is cer-
tain to do this, and any merchant or
banker will testify to this fact. Some
bankers say that during the past two
years there have been periods for
weeks at time when rs per cent of
their clearings were in the form Of
checks paid for cream and other dairy
products.
But the fact that the cow furnishes
a ready cash income is not in itself
enough to warrant place for her on
every farm. Some account must be
taken Of the cost of keeping her and
getting her products to market. Too
often no consideration has been given
the cost of producing dairy products.
A great many people are satisfied
with the dairy because it provided a
cash income the year around. The
right kind of cow, kept in the right
kind of way, in the right kind of
place, by the right kind Of man,
pays her way and yields a good pro-
fit besides.
There has been great increase in
the volume of dairying in South Da-
kota during the last four years. Not
only has the number Of cows and their
total output increased, but also the
average production per cow as shown
by the following data:
Year Number Pounds Of Milk
of Cows Milk Per Cow
1919 381,249 9l4,l36,975 1896
1920 365,741 77S,122,O45 2127
1921 392,115 953,763,525 2432
1922 435,47S /, ,151, ,500,4S2 2644
A part of the increase for the last
two years has been rather temporary
in nature, but even making allowan-
ces for the number of beef animals
that were MIXED druing this period,
it still leaves substantial gain. In
all Justice to the South Dakota COW,
it should be stated that the average
production given in the last column
includes tens of thousands Of cows
which were MIXED for only few
months each year thus bringing down
the average. In an industry of such
gigantic proportions we must study
the costs, cut them down wherever
possible and increase the efficiency all
along the line. There is much to be
gained and saved from such study. N
Dairying yields a profit in many
different forms, Sometimes actual
ash profits may seem. small. Indirect

out of the appointment Of COL James
A. Moss. retired. as head of the OFF,
cial publication of the service, the
Quartermaster Review, has assumed
such serious proportions that it
threatens to split the personnel of

Three brigadier generals-A. c. Dal-
ton, J. M. Carson and John B. Bell
inger-came here from Washington
to attend the meeting.
The trouble started. it was said,
when Maj. Gen. William III. Hart,
quartermaster general Of the Army,
attempted to curtail the powers of
Col Moss, on the ground that they
made an inactive officer too much of
factor in the service. Col. Moss is
we'll known because of his military
writings.
A meeting of officers held in Wash

Hart's attitude, it was said At last
