Protect Our Hay-or Gamble?

Let this question mean something
to every farmer in Grant county. The
man who has observed the hay con-
dition of the county can readily see
that the crop known as alfalfa is the
only hay crop that is really crop
this year. Clover that is a good
stand is too short to make hay. The
alfalfa has grown regardless of the
weather conditions. Now in order to
protect our hay crop we must raise
that kind of hay that will produce in
these conditions. But in order to
produce alfalfa good We must use
lime. We can't be assured OF good
crop without it. Lime is obtainable
in Grant county. The point is shall
we make use of this lime that we have
here or shall we keep on putting
water in the barrel with one stave
broken off at half length. Nearly
every farm in Grant county is under
laid with good lime rock. Shall we
get this out, get a grinder of our own
and hire this rock ground, and put 1t
where it will assure us a crop or shall
we keep on gambling? We have
grinders operating now in the coun-
ty. Are you interested in assuring
yourself of a good hay crop hereaf-
ter. Would you be interested in lime
grinding?
This office will gladly give help it
can for the advancement of lining
and alfalfa. Let us talk this over
with you.
Jersey Breeders Picnic.
Grant County Jersey Breeders will
hold a picnic at Everett Cairns on
June 18th. 1t would be well to keep
this meeting in mind, Jersey men. W.
L. Houser, a Jersey breeder and pro-
moter of the golden COW will give a
talk on Jersey cattle. Many have
heard Houser and know his ability
as an entertainer.
WingYille Farmers Interested in Soil
Test and Lining.
Much interest is being taken by the
men in the township of Wingville in
knowing more about the soil on which
they live. c. j. Chapman in charge
of the soil test department of the Col
lege of Agriculture, gave an interest
ing talk to about As farmers on soil
testing and need of conserving soil
fertility on Friday night at the Hard
Scrabble school house. Many quar-
ries will be tested in that section with
plans in mind of starting a lime stone
crusher. Who else is interested?

MT. HOPE AND
LANCASTER COW
TESTING REPORT

During the month Of May, 157 cows
qualified for the forty pound class,
or 1910 of the 440 cows tested. The
average butterfat production of all
cows for the full month is 368
pounds. The high COW is owned by j.
f. Morse of Mt. Hope, and produced
1866 pounds milk, containing 1874
pounds Dutterfat Her near rival was
Gray Girl of Mr.. Carl j. Ats herd OF
Lancaster, who has been high COW
several months previous. Another
COW of Mr.. Morse's deserving mention
is Rue Sarcastic Johanna, producing
70.8 pounds butterfat in the three
year-old class. In glancing down
these columns you will note that
there are fifteen forty pound cows in
the tWo-year-old class and two are
senior yearlings. These are heifers
worth raising and should make real
producers in few years, which but
shows another of the advantages OF
the COW testing association.
Eight herds have averages of forty
pounds butterfat, or above, and are
as follows:
Guy Walker, II cows milking, Bis.
Albert L. Kasper, IL COWS milking,
50.3.
Carl j. Alt, IA cows milking, All.
Jay f. Morse, IA COWS milking, 45.8.
J. A. Huff, cows milking, ass.
Albert Brinkman, II cows milking,
41.9.
Roy Luckey, IA cows milking, 40.1.
All but three members in the as
sociation had herd averages above
thirty pounds, and sixteen herds pass
ed the thirty-f1ve pound mark.
Twenty-Five members feed grain as
"a supplement to pasture, and it Is
proving TO be a paying proposition
especially since pastures are so back
ward.
May is the seventh month of the
testing year and quite number Of
herds are aiming at a high yearly aV-
erage.
