SHERIDAN COUNTY PLANNING
CAMPAIGN AGAINST COYOTES

Farmers and ranchers throughout
Sheridan county are cooperating
with the United States biological de-
partment and the state fish and
game commission in an effort to ex-
terminate coyotes in that part of the
state. Coyotes there have appeared
in such numbers as to prove a grave
menace to sheep and turkeys and the
annual damage has been large in
past years.
Both state and federal authorities
are cooperating to the extent that
together they pay one-half of the sal
airy of man in charge of the cam
paign and they will also furnish free
poison. According to the federal
plan, coyote determination is being
carried on in this manner on a very
large scale and with decided success
in other parts of the state. One
hunter covers large district, and
the pelts secured become the property
of the association or group which has
charge of the campaign and which
pays the hunter. This makes the
cost very small, and in many cases
the revenue obtained through the
sale of pelts has completely betrayed
the salary of the hunter. A county
meeting will be held in the very near
future to consider definite plans for
starting the work.

ROOSEVELT HOLDS
CORN TESTS

~ ORN variety tests are being car
4 ried on in seven communities in
- Roosevelt county this year, in
which IL strains of the best corn
that has been produced in the county
are being grown side by side under
exactly the same tillage conditions.
The names of the farmers conduct
ing these variety tests are: Ben
Smith, Divide community; Earl Malt
by, Wide Awake community; 1. w.
Buchanan, Mineral Bench commun-
ity; Charels Hawkins, Lenark COM
munity; William Irish, Be Square
community; Anderson Brothers, Pi-
oneer community; and John Dorgan,
Pershing community.
County Agent Dan B. Noble in dis
cussing these tests, says: 'The great
est results obtained from these tests
are the observations along about ma
turing time, the state of the plant,
characteristics of which show great
variations, and the final check up on
grain and fodder yield when the corn
is harvested. 1t is impossible for
corn to be compared where it is rails
ed under different conditions, and
people are prone to pass judgment
on such comparison. The only way
to get reliable data from these diff
ferent strains of corn and to compare
them is when they have been raised
under exactly the same conditions"

FARM PAGE

agrees to keep records of his COWS
| and of the offspring sired by the bull
In this way the productive ability OF
the mother is compared with the
daughter and the influence of the
bull definitely determined. If the
production of the daughter shows a
favorable increase over the dam, the
bull is listed as proven sire; if the
result is not satisfactory, the bull is
taken from service. Thus in the case
of proven sires, the pedigree is back
ed up by known service. Breeders
have long since found that the pedi-
gree alone is not dependable in all
cases. Bulls of the highest breeding
have been known to produce poor re-
suits, and the only way to be sure of
the sire's ability is through his off
spring.
AS the poor bulls are eliminated
and as good bulls are located for fur
Their trial the quality of the sires and
their offspring is gradually raised.
When a farmer has used proven
sire as long as good breeding prac-
tees will permit, a transfer of bulls
with some other farmer takes place,
and new proven sire heads the
herd. AS time goes on the offspring
of the first proven sire is mated with
the second proven sire, and this pro-
cess is gradually extended and contin-
ued. Eventually it is hoped that the
quality of high milk production
will become so highly concentrated
in the animals that it will be trans
mitted just as surely as the various
color characteristics are now trans
mitted.
AS the work progresses more and
more bulls of known ability are de-
