Every Dairyman Should
Know Profitable Cows

Every owner of dairy cows should
know Ii his COWS are giving enough
milk or butterfat TO make q profit over
the cost Of feed" says A. c.. Baer.
professor of dairying at Oklahoma A.
and NJ. college. "a scale TO weigh the
milk In the barn can be bought for 81.
II takes only a few minutes a day
extra time to weigh the milk from
each COW and write the weight On q
milk sheet tackled up In the barn.
Once a month a sample of milk can
be tested. Any creamery. ice cream
factory, or cream station will usually
be glad to do this testing. Every
school house can be equipped with a
tester at very little expense and the
boys at school can do the testing.
"a profitable COW should produce
5000 pounds OF milk or 200 pounds OF
hutterfat in 300 days. Are your cow

Good Sires Increase
Herd Production Rapidly

Further proof of the manner In
which a producing dairy herd may be
built up by using pure bred dairy pulls
on common cows is afforded by the
results OF a several years breeding
experiment conducted at the South
Dakota experiment station. The foun-
dation WI of the experiment repre-
sented a blending OF Hereford and
S~horthorn blood, each GOV being sired
by a pure bred beef bull and OUT OF a
grade COW. Each Of the foundation
COWS was bred repeatedly to the dairy
herd bulls In the station herd and the
heifers were retained and bred to the
dairy bulls. thus producing second gen.
Grafton crosses which had rs per cent
dairy blood. MIX and butterfat rec
ords were kept for each lacration peri
cd OF the grade foundation cows and
their g%raded-up offspring.
The average yearly production of
the grade beef cows was found 10 be
4,155 pounds of milk and ITO pounds of
butterfat. The first generation heif-
ers produced by these cows TO the
service of pure bred dairy sires made
records averaging 8.707 pounds of milk
and o pounds of fat. The first cross
OF dairy blood therefore brought an In
crease of 2,552 pounds of milk and 90
pounds Of butterfat In each heifer's
yearly production. Expressed In per
cent, the 1rst cross helfers produced
81 per cent more milk and SO per cent
more butterfat than their dams

Prepared by the United State Department
Of Axrfrusturg -
A hard red spring wheat that Is re-
sistant to the principal forms OF black
stem rust has been developed In North
Dakota by the United States Depart
menf OF Agriculture and the North
Dakota agricultural experiment sta
ton. This wheat was first INTRODUCED
from Russia In 1908 by Prof. II. L.
Boliey, and Is now known as Kota.
About 1900 acres OF Kota wheat were
grown In 1922, and much more this
year.
The particular virtue of Kota wheat
is Its resistance TO the black stem rust
which Is general throughout the hard
red spring wheat region. Its rus re-
sistance was not determined until af-
ter the great rust epidemic OF 1916.
II Is also fairly resistant TO drought
and outyieids Marquis In North Ila-
kota. averaging nearly three bush
els more per acre during the past five
years. 1t Is a bearded wheat which
ripens about as early as Marquis. In
milling and baking experiments Con-
Quoted independently by the Depart
ment of Agriculture n the North
Dakota experiment station, Kota wheat
has shown results nearly equal to
those obtained with Marquis.
Experiments with kota wheat have
been carried IN In a number OF other
states as we'll as In North Dakota,
and the wheat was found best adapt
ed to the district where durnm wheat
Is extensively grown, Kota wheat could
replace much of the durum wheat now
grown In eastern North Dakota and
South Dakota with profit TO both the
hard red spring and the durum wheat
industries, department workers believe.

Most Troublesome
Pest In Orchards
Oyster-Shell Scale Attacks
Apple and Other Fruit
Trees.

The commonest, most wide spread
and best-known scale insect IN the
United States attacking not only apple
and other orchard trees but about 80
different kinds Of shade trees. Is the
oyster-sheil scale, so called because
the form of the adult female scale is
not unlike that of an oyster shell.
Life History of Scale
The life history of the oyster-shell
scale may be used as an illustration
for the whole group. The insects pass
the winter as eggs under the old fe-
male scales. these eggs having been
laid the preceding fall. The eggs
are very tiny. white, and vary from
30 TO 100 In number. In the spring
from middle May to middle June.
these eggs hatch into young scale in
sects. The newly hatched young
scales are tiny, ~six-Iegged. active crea-
lures. Soon after Matching they leave
the old mother scale and wander away
In search of the new and tender
growths Of the tree.
They may spread not only by crawl
Ing. but by being carried on the bodies
OF insects or feet of birds. When
they have finally settled down they In
sert their beaks into the tree and be
gin drawing out sap. They soon lose
their legs and %antennae and their
bodies become covered with white.
waxy ibers. These fbers soon mat
down to form the scale covering. AS
the insect grows the scale gradually
Its characteristic oyster
shell shape. within which the Iegless,
eyeless Insect Is to be found.
Change Into Files
The male scale insects start out
like the female scale Insects, but when
they have formed a scale and made
growth they change Into tiny
winged files which emerge from under
the scales.
The control OF scale insects Of all
kinds is chiefly by spraying. and this
operation may be carried on at two
entirely different periods of the year
and for two entirely different pur-
poses. In n case the spraying is
4eHe when the trees are net In fell
age, that is. In the late autumn or
aarly spring. and these sprays are
Snown as dormant sprays because of
he dormant condition of the trees.

Soy Beans and Corn Are
Well Balanced Hog Feed

Some ask why soy beans and corn
make economical gains on swine. The
reason is that they are a well-bal.
anced ration, soy beans showing a high
analysis In the nutrients In which corn
Is deficient. For example, soy beans
have more than four times as much

UNION PACIFIC
AND ITS PATRONS

With an announcement that 9Th,
GZBlic be Informed" is its policy il
matters affecting both the railwa!
and the public. President Carl r
Gray of the Union Pacific has
launched a program of newspaper
advertising, the first instalment o.
which has just appeared Others
will follow on the first of each
month.
"The Union Pacific realizes" says
Mr.. Gray, that the good will of its
patrons is its greatest asset. 1t also
believes that a successful railway is
the greatest asset of any community
with it serves" With this state
ment every thoughtful citizen must
be in complete accord.
Originally the sole function of a
railway was to move persons and
property from place to place. Today
it is generally recognized that to ex-
plain to the public the how and why
of the railway business is almost es-
sential as the doing of that business.
The Union Pacific has for many
years encouraged its authorized rep
resentatives to discuss railway prob
lens frankly with the public, but not
until now has it undertaken to reach
its patrons, employees and the public
on the system at one time.
The Union Pacific serves mighty
empire extending from Council
Bluffs, Omaha, st. Joseph and Kan
sas City on the east and Los An
geles, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle,
Spokane and Butte on the west. One
out of every six persons in the coun-
trv lives in state reached by the
Union Pacific. More than fifty thou
sand persons receive a Union Pacific
nav check each month. Estimating
four persons to family, 100000 per-
sons are directly dependent upon the
Union Pacific for support. If to this
be added persons engaged in produc-
ing supplies and materials purchased
by the Union Pacific, the grand to-
tai would run into millions. The
railway employees, their families, pa
irons of the road and the general
public in the thirteen Union Pacific
states. are vitality concerned in main
tanning the railway plant at a state
of highest effectiveness.
Everyone who has the welfare of
the community at heart will find in
terest and profit in this series of
articles.
