Yolo County Is
To Make Effort
To Get Dairymen

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24-What
is regarded as one of the most de.
finite and effective plans for dairy
settlement in the history of Cali
fornia colonization has just been an
nounced by the Yolo County Board
of Trade, through Secretary Fred
Shaffer.
"Certified lands for dairy pur-
poses" is the slogan adopted by
Yolo county.
Briefly, it is the purpose of tic
Yolo County Board of Trade to Sc
lect twenty tracts of land, ten for
sale and ten for lease, all of them
most desirable for dairy purposes.
1t is then proposed to induce the
owners to offer these at the low
est possible price aud on the best
possible terms to prospective dairy
settlers. 1t is then proposed to
send Shaffer to get capable dairy
farmers who are anxious to start
dairy farming In California.
After these settlers have been Sc
cured, it is the plan of the YolO
County Board of Trade to cooperate
with them in making successes.

Our Sea-G0ing

Who would ever think that cows
grazing peacefully in Michigan,
Kentucky. Wisconsin or western
New York played any particular

mote as they are from sodboard,
these very COWS contribute both to
our exports and our imports, accord

Council.

The dairyman who is always short
of feed, cannot afford to overlook
the silo. BY its use, from 20 to -
tons per acre of good succulent feed
can be obtained, and this will make
feed shortage a thing of the past.
More silos are being used every
year in Imperial Valley, and each
new silo means a step i'll the i'm
prOvement of dairy feeding methods.
The third recommendation is bas-
ed on the experience of few
dairymen in Imperial Valley. Dur
ing the past year certain COW test
ing members have tried feeding
grain to their best producing cows.
In practically every ease it has
paid. 1t is too much to expect, that
COW should produce one and a
half to two pounds of butterfat per
day for 800 successive days and
eat only such roughages as hay,

Now then one is more apt to
find the prepotent sire among the

nowadays, one can get the yearly

the sire is the kind of stock he
will produce. Will he produce true

will, if he is the right sort.

1t is doubtless true tnat the pro.

not all realize a profit from their
operations.
Probably in not a single case,
however, could failure TO do so be
charged 10 any factor inherent in
the industrr itself. 1t is certain
that every failure to profit from
operations over given period OF
time could lie traced to either lack
of attention 20 the herd, either in

Work Well Repaid
Of course, DAIRY herd means
work: not only work, but intelli-
gent work. But for that matter, so
does every branch of farming,
whether it be vegetable growing or
fruit growing, grain growing or
truck gardening. One should not
look for spectacular profits. No
farmer can, but steady, generous
reward may be expected to follow
the application of intelligent in
dustry TO the vast acreage await
ing development of alfalfa and the
location of quantity producing herds
of cows. One thing to be said in
favor of dairying as compared with
any other farming operation is that
given a profitable herd, the dairy.
man s income is spread over the
entire year, his milk check comes
in every month. And his standing
in the community is that of pro
