SELECTION OF A

Dairy Day, once more brings be-
fore the farmer the importance Of
proper selection of herd sire. AS Il
factor in upbuilding the herd, the
sire is all important. lie MAKES or

per cent of the blood of offspring
of the herd is his, so that the old

Trust and Saving Bank
The dairy industry in California
is now 10 hundred million dollar
business 1t is larger and repre-
sents more profit to the people of
the state than the combined citrus
and decidious fruit industries. 1t
is one of the fundamentals of our
existence and progress. While
there is nothing romantic IN lal-
rying that has surrounded the more
spectacular industries of the state,
the fact that it has taken Il place
in the premier class makes this
calling extremely important. 1t is
not too much to say that dairying
is necessary to the prosperity of
California.
According to figures of the
State Department. of Agriculture
California during the year ending
June 80, 1923, produced 10000, 900
pounds of butterf;,t, valued at
$lO4,327 ,522. The increase in pro-
,luction of butterfat amounted. to
l5,000,000 pounds for the year. OF
the six counties producing in ex-
cess of G,500,000 pounds, three-Lo3
Angeles, Tulare and Imperial are
located in the south half of the
state.
There is every reason TO believe
that the dairy industry will grow
and thrive i'll California. There
is no reason to believcl it will be-
come depressed or have set back.
1t is on 4 sound basis; steady
! market has been established to
absorb the product; abundant feed
can be produced to maintain pre-
sent herds and increase and finan-
cial assistance is at hand for nor,
NAL requirements. Banks are more
and more supporting the dairyman.
Prices Are Higher
AT the present time there is but
a very small surplus of manufactur-
cd dairy products in the Pacific
Slope States and the rapidly in
ereasing population tends to re-
strict this surplus. There is a
steadily growing demand in the
Orient, the islands of the Pacific,
and in Mexico and South Americ:,
for all kinds of dairy products.
With all of these markets we expect
to have a constantly increasing
trade. 1t is unnecessary to send
our surplus products to the Allan
tie seaboard. The result is that
while we have not lowered the east
crn prices by invading their mar
ket, we are now receiving, and may
expect to receive higher prices for
our product than producers east of
the Rocky Mountains.
During the first IL months of
this year the average market price
for 93 score butter on the first day
of each month was 46.31 cent in
Los Angeles, as against 46.l1 cents
in New York and 46.03 cents in !
San Francisco. The Chicago mar
ket is usually below New York.
There is every reason to believe !
that the California market will |
maintain its favorable position.
California is the fourth state in
the Union in quantity of produc-
tion, but we eat as much as we
produce. In 1920 we consumed 6l,
100000 gallons of fresh milk and
nearly 100000 gallons of extra
cream. We manufactured 13.0o0,0 900 |
pounds of cheese and about $1,000. |
600 pounds of condensed ana eva
porated milk. With unexcelled ia. /
cilities for manufacturing and u

iege> of Agriculture of the Univer-
sitv of California, working with
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, the California Dairy
Council and other agencies, the
standard of dairy herds in this state
has been raised steadily year by
year and the supply of desirable
cows is increasing. In our own
county the Bankers Association has
cooperated with the dairymen and
the Dairy Adviser to better our
herds. Bankers have found that
a loan on cows that will not pay
{. profit is bad risk. We have
urged the formation of testing as
sociations; have brought in regis
tered sires with ancestors of known
production and sold these sires on
easy terms. Within q year Imperial
County has placed $500 cows on
test. The last monthly report of
the cow-testing association shows
81 top cows with an average
monthly production of go pounds OF
butterfat.
Opportunity for Service
Now this all means that our
bankers who are interested in de-
veloping the dairy industry can
render real service to the busi-
ness and safeguard their lo;,ns by
taking an active part in forward
looking movements to increase the
efficiency of herds and better the
conditions under which butterfat is
produced. For the dairy cow is
merely manufacturing plant for
converting raw feed into the fin
ished product. If she is well fed
with the proper ration of raw ma
terial and is an efficient milk-pro-
ducing machine she will pay big
dividens on her investment and her
owner will become a safe credit
risk for the bank. But Il COW can
only produce as she is fed and
the banker must satisfy himself
that his loan is as safely protected
by ample feed as by high-produc-
tion cows.

1t has been said that the dairy
man who wishes to improve the
production of his dairy herd should
weed out his low producing cows,
feed the cows that remain in a bet,
ter manner, and use only pure,
bred dairy bull of high producing
blood. These steps in improvement
are usually summed up in the
words, weed, feed and breed
In Imperial Valley the most neg.
lected of these three steps is pro,
badly better feeding. The average
cow in Imperial Valley does not
have enough to eat during certain
months in the year. so probably the
first step in better feeding should
be to provide plenty of feed, and

There, his old friends, extended a

could be held in the hand, but his
observations were accurate. A prom
