During the cold weather in Janua-
ry of this year, those dairymen who
had filled their silos last fall, have
felt very fortunate. Every dairy
man who has silo should plan to
plant few acres of honey sorg-
hum this spring, and fill his silo
next fall.
Those dairymen who have cows
which produce SO to 40 pounds of
butterfat per month on hay and pas
ture, could increase their production
and save feed by feeding some con-
centrates to these cows.
One of the following rations Is
suggested.
l. Three or four pounds cotton
seed per cow.
>. A mixture of three parts
pounds or rolled barley and one
part cottonseed cake fed at the rate
of about one pound for each SIX
pounds of milk produced by the cow
3. A mixture of one part ground
Or rolled barley and one part bran
fed at the rate of about one pound

TWO VALLEY men
ESCAPE DEATH AS
TRAINS HIT CARS

j. 1amamoto, Japanese, El Cen
tro, is recovering from an accident
in which escape from death wa.
nothing short of miraculous.
1amamoto was driving his auto
mobile west at the intersection OF
Euclid and Fourth street recently
and attempted to cross the railroad
tracks of the San Diego and Ari
zona line. He did not see the ap
preaching train from San Diego un
til be was directly in the path of
the engine. Yamamoto lost control
of his car which swerved to the
right into the bumper of the loco
motive. The oar was telescoped
and hurled to one side and Yama'
moto thrown through the bottom of
the machine, the footboards having
given way in the collision.
The train was halted and the crew
hurried back expecting to find the
man had been killed. AS they ap-
preached the heap of material that
had been an automobile, they saw
a blood stained man get up from
the wreckage and start walking
round and round his car, Yamamo-
to was taking inventory of the
amount of damage.
He was finally pursuaded by
Charles Matlin, local agent for the
s. D. & A., to, have a physician
examine him to see if he was ser.
iously hurt.
Late yesterday the Jap was in
apparent good health aside from
several bandages about his face and
neck, which were 'cut by flying
glass.
Not much less remarkable is the
escape from injury of Driver Rich
of the Minshew Transfer company
Brawley, whose truck was hit by a
passenger train Saturday morning IN
that city.
Rich had load of Ne ON his
truck, and according to information
of the accident, was unable to see
the train because of cloud of dust
started by a miniature whirlwind
The ice was hurled into the street
carrying the cab of the truck with
it. Rich emerged from the cab un
hurt. The rear wheel of the truck
was broken, and the air brake at
the front of the locomotive was
damaged.

Dairymen Told How to Increase
Butterfat Production of Cows

In March 1923, an article was
sent out from the Farm Bureau to
each dairyman in Imperial Valley,
calling his attention to the fact that
the best time to make hay in this
valley is during the spring months
and that good supply of hay is
essential to the dairyman who wish
es to make money.
The spring hay season is again
almost here, and it is even more
important this year that dairymen
conserve their feed supply and put
plenty of hay in the stock. Due TO
lack of rairS feed is short on the
coast, and there is every reason to
expect that alfalfa hay viii bring
a good price during the coming
year. The man who has surplus hay
for sale during that time will there
fore be fortunate. A word of warn
ing is necessary, however. Each
dairyman should be sure that he
has plenty of feed for his dairy
herd before he sells any, for no
matter what price he receives for
! his hay, if his cows lack feed, he
cannot expect to make money.
Certain supplementary feeds will
help the dairyman 10 conserve his
feed and put mere hay in the stack.
| Among these are, Sudan grass, Won
/ der forage, honey sorghum, and GER
tain concentrates. A brief discus
i sion of each of these supplementary
feeds follows:
Sudan grass does quite well in hot
| weather and IS very desirable as a
supplementary feed during those
hot summer months when alfalfa
does not grow well. Any dairy
mn who has a piece of alfalfa that
should be ploughed up or piece
of land alleaGy vacant, could con-
siderably increase his summer feed
supply, by planting Sudan grass,
Wonder Forage a Heavy Crop
Wonder forage is hybrid plant
resulting from d cross between Su-
! dan grass and the sweet sorghums.
1t gives number of heavy crops
Of feed during the summer. 1t is
usually cut and fed, but can be
pastured.
Honey sorghum gives heavy
yield per acre of fodder or silage
1t is most satisfactory when fed
as silage, but can be used as fod
der. Ii produces a yield of from
20 TO so tors Of silage per acre
