RECORDS SHOW
VERDE COW IS
BEST PRODUCER

During the month of September
81 herds containing 1898 cows were
tested in the Imperial County Farm
Bureau Cow Testing association.
These 2593 cows produced an aver
age of $50 pounds of milk and 23.5
pounds of butterfat for the month.
This average is low due to the short
age of feed which the present short
age of water has caused, but in spite
of the shortage of feed, the average
is still higher than it was i'll Septem-
Der 1928. In September 1923, 1857
cows were tested and they averaged
23.3 pounds of butterfat each.
The highest producing cow for
September is owned by Paul Mailard
of the Verde section. She is grade
Holstein which produced 1875 pounds
of butterfat for the month.
OF the 2593 cows tested during the
month 81 produced 40 pounds or
more of butterfat for the month.
The largest number of 40 pound
cows in one herd was nine. Warne
and Son of Holtville MIXED rs cows
and nine of them produced 40 pounds
or more of butterfat for the month.
Second in this class was d. r. Smith
of Holtville. He milked SO cows
and seven of them produced over 40
pounds of butterfat for the month.
The five highest producing cows
in one herd were owned this month
by ,Warne and Son of Holtville.
Their five high cows produced 1896
pounds of butterfat or an average of
AIS pounds of butterfat per COW.
Second in this class was w. Weiss of
El Centre. His five COWS produced
229.1 pounds of butterfat or an
average of 45.S pounds butterfat per
COW.
25 Cows Culled
During the month 26 unprofitable
COWS were culled by members of the
cow testing association. This indi-
Gates that members are using their
records to Gull out the COWS which
do not pay. !.
One purcbred bull was purchased
during the month. A. Burger of
Holtville was the dairyman who pur-
chased this bull, which is son of
Prince Aaggic of Berylwood out of
Il COW which produced 33.45 pounds
of butterfat III seven days. This
bull is one of the best bred bulls
now in Imperial county.
Listed below are the nine COWS
which were tested during September
and which produced 80 pounds or
more of buttcrfat for the month:

England's hopes are high because
OF the great performance Of George
Duncan at Glen Eagles.
Duncan and Mitchell have bean
beaten here, and although Duncan

the worlds best players, he is not
likely to have many days as good
as that final day against Mitchell.
He gave Abe the worst beating in
his brilliant career. Jim Barnes.
Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell,

all likely to make trouble for the

field of brilliant stars their chances
are as good as any players in the
tournament.
Smiths experience abroad last
year will help him this year. He
went over early last season and
played for weeks on the various

of his brilliant streal1s next week.

De MAR CAUSES
CRITICS To
SIT Up
General Work Of American
Marathon Team Impresses
All Writers

Sports writer's in Paris as well as
visiting journalists from Sweden and
Finland have been greatly impressed
with the American marathon team
which recently arrived in France
Tor the Olympic games. The only
work done by the Americans so far
has consisted in limbering exercises,
but their form and physical condi.
ton have Impressed the critics to a
great extent.
The work Of Clarence De Mar has
come in for q Int of attention and
the experts state that he will be one
or the most dangerous men any
country will have to face. His vic.
tories in the Boston marathon have
become generally known in athletic
circles abroad and great deal of
respect is felt concerning the
American.
zuna also has come in FOR a
great deal OF description in the
French press, and mention Of him
has been made in Finland. He IS
considered by exparts to be full Of
possibilities" and the consensus is
that the marathon is won before 1t
has been run.
For the first few days after their
arrival the Americans remained in
the capital, but they now are located
outside Paris, and are training care.
fully and slowly. The idea is, the
French have been told, to work the
men gradually into a shape of
physical perfection just before the
Olympic marathon Is run. The
Americans are getting the jump on
other nations by starting their train
ing in France early and a great
deal Of respect is felt for Coach M.
]. Ryan, who has been a marathon
runner of note.

Certain other of the boys did not
DO so well. Messrs Wallie Pipp
and Joe Dugan, for instance, found
the Middle Western atmospheric
conditions entirely unsuited to their
constitutional pecularities and went
into a slump that led to u steady
batting decline. Wallie managed TO

and Joe hit for a mark Of .215.

than eleven runs, and after all 1t

Of fairness, it should be remarked

Waite was lucky, though, at that.
