SMITHSON COWS
WALK Off WITH
TESTING HON0RS
Corona" Produces ola
Lbs. Butterfat In
29 Days

During the month of February,
1924, A. H. Smithson of Holtville,
~"~r'od off most of the honors in
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
Cow Testing Association. His COW
" "Corona," the registered Holstein,
which produced 601.3 pounds Of but
terfat in 305 days during the last
COW testing year, freshened on Jan
uary 25, 1924. During February she
produced Ola pounds of butterfat in
90 DAYS. Mr.. Smithson believes
that Corona viii do ev"n Act
this year than she did in 1928. He
gives the credit for her increased
production in February to the grain
ration which he has given her dyr-
ing the past year Smithson also
had the second highest producing
ecw for the month. She is a REGIS
tered Holstcin which produced 1913
pounds of butterfat for the month.
The five highest COWS in Smith
son s herd produced 1882 pounds
of butterfat for the month, or 67.6
pounds butterfat each and this
gives him the five highest produc
ing COWS in one herd for the month
During February 1924, 100 herds
were tested in the Cow Testing As
sociation. These herds contained
1916 COWS. The average produc-
tion for these was $50 pounds milk
md 26.4 pounds buttcrfat. Since
there were only % DAYS in Fcbru-
irv. this is n very satisfactory pro.
luctiou. Three hundred and twenty
six of the 3546 cows tested, pro
lrced over 40 pounds of butterfat
Cor the month. The largest num-
Der of 40 pound cows in one herd
was Is. D. Souza of Mt. Signal
MIXED 80 COWS and 16 of these pro-
duced over 40 pounds of butterfat
AS has been already stated A.. II.
Smithson of Holtville had the five
highest producing cows in one herd
for the month. Warne and Son of
Holtville were second in the class
The five highest producing cows in
heir herd produced 1868 pounds
# butterfat or an average of 59.4
per COW.
40 Cows Are Sold
During the month 10 unprofitable
cows were sold by members of the
association, and one purebred bull
was purchased.

119 DRY LAW CASES
DISPOSED OF DAILY
Attorney General Reports to Presi'
dent Court Records Under
Prohibition Law.

An average of 119 prohibition cases
daily are disposed of in the federal
courts Of the country. Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty yesterday reported to
President Coolidge.
Reviewing the results of prohibi-
ton enforcement for the four years
of its existence, the Attorney Cen
eral said that more than liz, 900 cases
had been concluded, of which 92,411,
or about 80 per cent, resulted in con-
victions and fines aggregating s15,-
1868.
Stricter enforcement of prohibition,
the Attorney General said, had in
spired a more wholesome respect
for law and order
Record of Four Years.
In spite Of an increasing number of
cases initiated in each of the four
fiscal years since the eighteenth
amendment was made effective. the
Attorney General said, the percentage
of cases begun and concluded within
that fiscal year has remained almost
the same. The courts, he said, had
mad measure of success in catching
up with the accumulation of cases.
The Attorney General expressed re-
dismissed cases, most of which, he
said, were dropped by United States
attorneys for want Of evidence. The
number Of dismissals increased great
ly during the last six months, he
added, because many United States
attorneys were seeking to clear their
docketS of old cases.
Rum Smuggling Discussed.
Discussing the efforts to break IN
rum smuggling, Mr.. Daugherty said
it was hard to understand why there
have been no seizures of boats in
nine of the judicial districts having
waterfronts, when rumors of oper-
alton In theri vicinities are heard
frequently Among those districts
| in which no boats were seized the
Attorney General named the follow
| ing: Northern Illinois (Chicago)
Maryland tBaltimore), southern Ala
bama (Mobile) and Maine (Portland)
