SIRE IDEA
GIVEN Ills PRAISE
David D. Tenny Of Blue
Earth County Radios
Endorsement

This purebred sire campaign,
which has been so successfully con.
Quoted in Blue Earth county that a
total of ninety nine bulls have been
sold TO farmers there within twen-
ty one working days, is so vital, so
constructive and so well conceived
that it is something that me can all
get behind and push, enthusiastic
ally" declared David d. Tenny, one
of the best known breeders of
Guernsey cattle in the United
States, speaking from WLAG sta
ton at the Oak Grove hotel Satur
day night writes Charles F. Collision
in The Minneapolis Tribune. a
Mr.. Tenny is the owner OF Shore
wood Farm, at Crystal Bay, on the
north shore OF Lake Minnetonka,
the home of MA Chere Procris,
the grand champion cow of the 1921
National Dairy show. He. is an en-
TO put pure bred sire on every
Farm in the state, promoted by the
Minnesota Holstein breeders as
sociation and fostered by The Min
neapolis Tribune.
All Breeders Give Support y
Although the drive is being put
Oh by the Holstein association, the
hearty support of such men as Mr..
Tenny and other prominent breed
ers of other breeds of cattle is be-
ing given. The management of the
campaign is insisting that all breeds
OF cattle. both of dairy and beef
types, be supplied to the farmers,
according TO their individual needs.
1t is not merely plan to sell. Hol-
stein cattle. but really to improve
all kinds and breeds of live stock
on the farms of Minnesota, even
swine, sheep and poultry.
Mr.. Tenny cited the example of
dairy farmer named S. d. Whiting
OF Mankato, as. showing how a
farmer may start with common or
scrub cows, and grade up his herd
with the use of pure bred sire. Mr..
Whiting has been one of the speak
ers in the Blue Earth county cam
paign, telling Of his experiences on
his own dairy farm.
He moved into the county in 1919.
He had been raising beef cattle in
Watonwan county, but was naturally
inclined to dairying. Beginning
with common cows of very ordi-
nary type. he used a pure bred bull
of John b. Twins and later another
one of Senator ]. NJ Hackney,s
herd.
Has Seventeen Cows
He now has herd of seventeen
milking cows that showed a cow
testing association record for 1921
of 9,091.5 pounds Of milk. and 334.6
pounds OF butterfat per cow. and an
income of $2,455.84 in cash above
all the costs of feed.
This average Mr. Tenny COM
pared with the average yield OF all
the cows of the state, which is only
1850 pounds of milk and 166 pounds
of butterfat.
"Mr Whiting has developed several
of these grade cows which have
yearly production records of more
than 10000 pounds of milk, and
more than 400 pounds Of butterfat,"
said Mr.. Tenney. "All of them
were from ordinary cows mated
with pure bred sires. His herd af-
fords good example of what is be-
ing done all over the northwest, and
what can be done on any farm that
can keep any kind of cows at ALL"

OLD HUMAN RELIC
TERTIARY PERIOD
Discovery At Buenos Aires
Said To Be Skull of
Earth's First Men
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch

New York February 27.-Anthro-
biologists said today that the fossil
lied human skull, believed to be of
the tertiary period, discovery of
which was announced in Associated
Press dispatches from Buenos Aires
last night, may be the oldest human
relic ever unearthed.
IL proved authentic, DIR. Frank
Boas. Columbia university anthro.
pologist and world famous scientist,
asserted that it would be even older
possibly 100000 years, than the
skull of an erect man ape known as
the pithcanthropus erectus which
was found in Java twenty nine years
ago. 1t may even prove, he said, to
be the skull of one Of the earth g
first men.
This discovery, which seems al
most too marvellous to be true" DR..
Boas said, will throw light on
this hitherto unknown period. Sci
entists have merely speculated upon
the possible existence of man in
the tertiary period, although traces
pointing to the existence of man
like animal have been found on var
tous rocks"
He explained that 1t was during
the tertiary peorid that the earth as :
sumed its present geographic form
and huge reptiles were being re-
placed by mammals. The close of
the tertial age ushered in the gla-
cial period of North American hem
lSphere.
