HOUSTON THOMPSON COMING TO
COLORADO SOON TO TELL OF
FOREIGN VISIT
COMPETITION NOT HURT
SAYS COOPERATIVE MARKETING
SOCIETIES DO NOT DESTROY
COMPETITION

Washington.-Hous Thompson oil
Denver, n member of the federal trade
commission, returned to Washington
recently from a three months visit in
several countries Of Europe, where he
applied himself to an intense study OF
the highly organized cooperative mar
keting societies in operation there
The cooperative marketing move
ment now is II subject of deep inter
est in this country, though there are
comparatively few persons who have
much knowledge of the operation of
these societies. Because OF the inter-
est manifested in the United States, in
Guiding his home state of Colorado,
Mr.. Thompson made his trip abroad to
get first-lland information on how the
cooperative works. He probably will
go to Colorado at the first opportunity
to give farmers and other Interested
persons the benefit of his observation.
He has made himself an authority on
the subject.
During my three months survey OF
the cooperative movement said
Thompson, II visited the British Isles,
Denmark, Sweden, Finland. Esthonla,
Latvia, Czecho-Slovakia, Litluania, Po-
land, Germany, Italy and France. All
cooperative societies gave us free ac-
cess to their books and financial state
ments, and permitted inspection. Of
their plants. They pointed out the
weak ms well as the strong points, con-
cealing nothing, and tryiag to make the
whole movement perfectly clear.
!. "One thing that greatly impressed
me is that all of these countries are
making special efforts to become self
supporting and economically independ-
ent. With export and import tariffs
they are giving great encouragement
to home industry. This was especially
noticeable at the Gothenburg fair
where the growth OF industry and arts
in Sweden was displayed. 1t Seems the
Swede makes practically everything
they use in the way of manufactured
articles. The rates of exchange are
also forcing growth of home industry.
Europe has found, as we shall find.
that the eo-operntives do not destroy
competition. The movement will stim-
nlate competition and has done so.
When co-operatives are buying or man
ufacturing for the use of their MEM
bers, they will not make or take impure
or bad goods or products. When they
sell to their members or buy for them,
they insist on reasonable prices. They
can do both for the co-operatives are
in most countries the largest single
business units and can dominate the
market"

DAIRY
HINTS
Suitable Age Of Dairy
Heifer for First Calf

Heifer for First Calf
The proper age Of heifers for first
ealving u always q fruitful source Of
discussion among dairymen- One
group points TO the necessity Of proper
physical development before the COW
begins on Its very arduous task Of
yielding milk through ten months o.
more Of the year. The other side holds
that late calving gives the beef quail
tiles in the COW time to develop and
encourages tendency toward coarse
ness In the dairy animal.
In the terms Of ordinary dairyinG,
the question turns on which system.
In the long run. makes the most
money. Does the production Of the
mature cow make up for the extra
feed put into her during the nom
earning period7 Does the sdded year
or two Of production in early life Of
the early calver balance the possible
loss In vitality and In longtime aver
age production1
An experiment that has been con-
Quoted at the Connecticut experiment
station throws an interesting light on
this question. Ten cows were includ-
ed In the experiment Five calved at
the average rate of two years and one
and four-tenths months. The other
five averaged three years and one
month at calving time.
In the first lactation period. the late
calyers produced at nearly double the
rate Of the early calvers. During the
second lactation period the late
calvers made a record 90 per cent
greater than the early calvers. In the
third period the early calvers made
about the same record AZ the late
calvers.
One interesting point about the re-
suits Is that 1t was not until they
reached the third lactation period that
the early calvers made as good rec
ord as the late calvers made in their
6rst lactation period. The late calvers,
aged three years and one month at
the time Of freshening, made 1928
pounds Of milk and 443 pounds Of fat
in their first period. The early calvers,
aged four years. nine and one-half
months at the third freshening, aver
aged 1852 pounds of milk and 467
pounds of fat.
All the cows In this test were Of the
same general breeding and all received
the same care. The numbers involved
are too small and the time covered
too short to warrant any positive con-
clusion. 1t does seem, however. that
late calving has sound ground for be-
ing considered good commercial dairy
practice.

Find Relative Value of
Different Dairy Feeds

Feed stuffs as rule are divided
into concentrates and roughages, says
the dairy department. North Dakota
Agricultural college, in discussing the
relative value of different dairy feeds.
The concentrates are grains and
factory by-prOducts, oats, corn, barley,
oil meal, which contain little crude
fiber and are highly digestible. The
roughages are bulky material like hay
and silage and contain considerable
fiber. 4 A
Corn Is valuable chiefly on account
Of its carbohydrates; although 1t con-
tains about 10 per cent Of protein,
other sources of this material usually
are cheaper. 1t is deficient in mineral
matter. 1t should not be fed alone to
the dairy COW as the only concentrate; ;
however. 1t Is an excellent dairy feed
In combination with other feeds. Corn
and cob meal is valuable in the dairy
ration because it supplies bulk and al
lows more thorough digestion Of the
grain.
Oats contain one pound Of protein to
SIX Of carbohydrates, which in itself
Is balanced grain ration. No grain
Is better for milk producing cows or
cows about to freshen. It Is for sup
plying the unborn calf with nutrients
for growth. 1t should be ground II 1t
can be done on the farm.
Wheat compares in feaiing value
with corn hut Ia LITTLE fod hacaueo ~
Its price.
Wheat bran IL high in protein, ash
and carbohydrates, but its market price
usually prohibits its use. 1t has good
effect upon the system, but 1t is ad-
visable to feed 1t only to cows before
and after freshening. and young grow
ing stock. Middlings are not palatable
or easily digestible.
Barley can be used to supplement corn
and should be rolled, or preferably
ground.

Germany Issues Paper Currency

Berlin.-Nobody knows just how
much paper money is floating about In
Germany, according to the conclusion
reached by the Boersen Zeitung, which
believes that even an approximate COM
putation would be impossible, since
communities, big industrial plants and
numerous private corporations now
have entered into competition with the
reichsbank in the production of paper
money. Even railway station lunch
room operators, says the paper, are Is
suing chips to overcome the shortage
