Good Sires Increase
Herd Production RAPIDLY

Further proof OF the manner in
which a producing dairy herd may be
built up by using pure bred dairy bulls,
on common cows is afforded by the
results Of a several years breeding
experiment conducted at the South
Dakota experiment station. The foun-
dalton cows Of the experiment repre-
sented a blending of Hereford and
Shorthorn blood, each COW being sired
by pure bred beef bnll and out Of a
grade COW. Each Of the foundation
cows was bred repeatedly to the dairy
herd bulls in the station herd and the
heifers were retained and bred to the
dairy bulls. thus producing second gen
Grafton crosses which had Is per cent
dairy blood. Milk and butterfat rec
ords were kept for each lactation peri
cd Of the grade foundation cows and
their graded-up offspring.
The average yearly production of
the grade beef cows was found to be
Abs pounds of milk and ITO pounds Of
butterfat. The first generation heif-
ers produced by these cows to the
service of pure bred dairy sires made
records averaging 6,707 pounds Of milk
and 200 pounds Of fat The first cross
of dairy blood therefore brought an in
crease Of 1852 pounds Of milk and 90
pounds of butterfat In each heifers
yearly production. Expressed in per
cent, the first cross helfers produced
81 per cent more MIX and So per cent
more butterfat than their dams.

CAN'T STOP OPIUM TRAFFIC
Shipping Companies Offer to Give U.

Not to Delay Vessels.

It Is unjust to hold captains and
owners Of ships responsible for pre-
venting smuggling Of such a commod-
ity as opium compounds. Of which
great values can be concealed In small
space The captains cannot do itsand
sail the ships. The owners. of course.
can do nothing TO prevent It. II they
employ special watchers the guardians
may turn smugglers themselves. And
In the end our customs officers have
to search the ships anyhow, causing
great delay Of the most costly kind.
The proposal to employ only Ameri-
can crews cannot in reason be pro-
posed to foreign owners, nor would
that be assurance against smuggling.
We have plenty Of Americans In the
game. 1t would materially increase
freight rates and would likely divert
ships to Canadian ports.
The shipping companies offer to
give duly appointed American customs
officers free passage with cabins and
board. and let them do during the trip
that which they do at the ports, only
with more time TO do It thoroughly.
That proposal Is SO fun Of common

not accepted without any talk. A ship
ought not to be confscated or fined
for what her owners cannot prevent.

Every Dairyman Should
Know Profitable Cows

Every owner Of dairy cows should
know II his cows are giving enough
milk or butterfat to make a profit over

and NJ. college. "A scale to weigh the
milk in the barn can be bought for 81.
1t takes only a few minutes day
extra time to weigh the milk from
each COW and write the weight on a
milk sheet tackled up in the barn.
Once month a sample Of milk can
be tested. Any creamery. ice cream
factory, or cream station will usually
be glad to do this testing. Every
school house can be equipped with a
tester at very little expense and the
boys at school can do the testing.

Most Troublesome
Pest in Orchards
Oyster4Shell Scale Attacks
Apple and Other Fruit,
Trees.

The commpnest, most wide spr Ead
and best-knO.wn scale insect In the
Omitted States attacking not only apple
and other orchard trees but about 30
different kinds Of shade trees. is the
oyster-sheil scale. so called becasnse
the form Of the adult female scale Is
not unlike that of an oyster shell.
The life history of the oyster-shell
scale may be used as an illustration
for the whole group. The insects pass
the winter as eggs under. the old fe-
male SCALES, these eggs having been
laid the preceding fall The eggs
are very tiny. white and vary from
30 to 100 in number. In the spring
from middle May to middle June,
these eggs hatch into young scale in-
seets. The newly PATCHED young
scales are tiny, six.legged. active crea-
lures. Soon after hatching they leave
the old mother scale and wander away
in search Of the new and tender
gr0wths Of the tree.
They may spread not only Ply crawl
ing, but by being carried on the bodies
Of insects or feet of birds. When
they have finally settled down they In
sert their beaks into the tree and be-
gin drawing out sap. They soon lose
their legs and antenTae and their
bodies become covered with white,
waxy fbers. These fiberp soon mat
down 30 form the scale cuyAnng. AS
the insect grows the scale gradually
assumes Its characteristic oyster
shell shape, within which the legless,
eyeless insect Is to be found.
Change Into Files.
The male scale insects start lout
like the female scale insects. but when
they have formed a scale and made
partial growth they change into tiny
winged flies which emerge from under
the scales.
The control OF scale insects on all
kinds is chiefly by spraying, and this
operation may be carried on at two
entirely different periods of the year
and for two entirely different pur-
poses In one case the spraying Is
done when the trees are not In foil
age, that is, in the late autumn or
early spring, and these sprays are
known as dormant sprays because Of
the dormant condition Of the trees,

Hard Spring Wheat
Resistant to Stem Rust
Variety Known as Kota Has
Been Developed.

Prepared by TIE United states Department
o. Aericuiture.l
A hard red spring wheat that Is 70
'sistant to the principal forms Of black
stem rust has been developed in North
Dakota by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the North
Dakota agricultural experiment sta
ton. This wheat was first INTRODUCED
from Russia In 1908 by Prof. H. L.
Bolley, and is now known as Koia.
About 5000. acres Of Kota wheat were
grown in 1922, and much more this
year.
The particular virtue Of Kota wheat
Is its resistance to the black stem rust
which is general throughout the hard
red spring wheat region. Its rust re-
sistanee was not determined until af-
ter the great rust epidemic Of 1915.
1t is also fairly resistant to drought
and outyields Marquis in North la
kota, averaging nearly three bush
els more per acre during the past i've
years. 1t is a bearded wheat which
ripens about as early as Marquis. In
milling and baking experiments con-
Quoted independently by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the North
Dakota experiment station, Kota wheat
has shown results nearly equal to
those obtained with Marquis.
Experiments with Kota wheat have
been carried on in a number of other
states as well as In North Dakota,
and the wheat was found best adapt
ed to the district where darum wheat
Is extensively grown. Kota wheat could
replace much Of the durum wheat now
grown In eastern North Dakota and
South Dakota with profit to both the
hard red spring and the durum wheat
industries, department workers believe.
This variety is recommended for
North Dakota and adjacent portions
Of neighboring states.
