The Model Dairy's (Ark. Valley
Sugar Beet & Irrigated Land Coz COW
Pioneer Oaks Korndyke Mantell has
just completed thirty day test with
3544 lbs. of milk and 1884 lbs. of but
terfat. This is indeed a very remark
able record for butterfat production
but more especially remarkable for
the amount of milk. Her highest days
milk was 1899 lbs. and the average
daily milk yield was 118 lbs. Her
of milk with 30.4 lbs of butter. This
is the second record COW for the Model
Dairy within the last two months.
Both of these record cows are out
standing show individuals.
Mr.. Downing at Bristol has an ex-
cellent herd of calves. His calves
show wonderful growth and develop
ment and are an outstanding example
of proper care and feeding. If there
were more such calf herds there would
be more producing cows in the future.
A large percent of the difference be-
tween a profitable COW and poor
producer may be in the way they were
fed and cared for when they were
calves. Capacity and development
are essential to profitable production.
With the coming of spring the need
for pasture becomes more and more
evident. Good irrigated land seeded
with Prof. Morton's pasture mixture
will supply the cheapest as well as the
