INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION
Government Test Shows Cows Fed

Close to Average Yield.

II has long been rule on well-man-
aged dairy farms to milk and feed the
cows at the same hours every day.
Regularity was always thought to have
a beneficial effect on production. How
ever. experiments carried on by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on the government farm at Belts
Vile, Md. have shown that cows of
average production MIXED at the same
hours every day produced but slightly
more milk and slightly less butterfat
than those MIXED at random. pro-
vlded the feeding was done at regular
times. When the feeding as well as
the milking was done at random hours
the cows produced about per cent
less of both milk and fat.

Rotation of crops is Important. 1t
is wise not to plant plants Of the same

should move across the garden and

the cabbage family should be shifted

and may also leave disease germs.
A convenient way Of securing this
rotation Is to draw a plan which you

turn 1t around and plant the same
plan from right to left. In this way
the shift will be made with the ex-
ception of the central rows. After

RICE GROWERS MEET
WITH MUCH SUCCESS
Membership Of louisiana Asso-
citation Increased Rapidly in
Very Short Period.

The FIRST outstanding success of the
farm bureau In Louisiana was the e.
Establishment of the Farm Bureau Rice
Growers association, with headquar-
tiers at Crowley, In the center Of the
great southwestern rice belt.
The association was Incorporated
early in September. 1922, with men,
bership of 800 growers. with q little
more than 100000 bushels Of rice
pledged under a five-year commodity
marketing contract. By December l
the membership had been increased to
500. with pledges of more than 1,500.-
600 bushels Of rice, and enough
prospective members had been lined
up to increase the total volume Of
grain to be handled In 1928 to 4.00O.-
600 bushels.
Actual advances to association
members to December on the basis
Of 90 per cent of market value amount
ed to $5O0.O00. all Of which was ad-
vanced by banks In the rice belt and
In New Orleans. Additional credits
for $1.500.00 have been secured from
New Orleans banks and the War
Finance corporation, to complete the
marketing program Of the association.
The financial affairs of the associa-
ton have been so arranged that, al
though per cent interest Is paid
on all loans, the individual farmer to
whom an advance Ia made Is actually
required to pay less than one per cent.
This Is accomplished by selling In an
orderly manner each month enough
rice to pay Off the outstanding In
debtedness OF the organization, and
applying funds returned In this way
to finance other growers, thus using
the same money several times over
during the period of the loan. Each
farmer receives check for 90 per
cent of the value Of his rice as soon
as 1t Is received at the warehouse and
graded.
The Federal Rice mill, at Crowley,
with capacity Of 5000 bushels a day,
has been leased by the association for
cleaning and processing the rice. and
negotiations are now under way to Sc
cure a second mill In the vicinity of
New Orleans.
