ON MILK TEST
Eight Cow Testing Associa'
lions Now Operating in
State, Survey Shows

Eight cow testing associations
with an approximate membership
of 200 herds are now operating in
North Dakota counties, according
to A. M. Challey, field agent II
dairying at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college. The following
counties are represented with COW
testing associations: Ward, /; New
Salem. 2; Burleigh and Morton, /;
Grand Forks, 1; Cass, 2, and Grant
l. Three of these eight associations
will have been organized during the
past year, states Mr.. Challey. One
is now being organized in Cass coun-
ty, he adds.
Each COW testing association has
on the average of Is to 26 members
who are visited once each month
during the year by the COW tester.
1t is the duty of the cow tester,
points out Mr.. Challey, to weigh
the feed each cow receives and to
take samples of the milk and weigh
and test the milk of each cow dur
ing his stay at farm. He figures
the production of milk and of but
terfat per cow and also the cost of
the feed she receives. In this way
the members Of the COW testing as
ISOLATION know whether or not the
cows they are feeding are paying for
their board and giving profit
besides. Each member of the asso-
citation has herd book which stays

Rates to Be Lower on
Long Distance Calls

Charges for telephone calls over
the greater distances only will be
affected by reduction in long dis
lance telephone rates, which is
planned for December !, according
to an announcement made today by
+. Il. Waldo, manager of the North
western Bell Telephone company.
These reductions will affect calls to
places about 400 miles or more dis.
tant from the calling point. Reduc-
lions for such distances will be
made Tor what is known as station
to-station, person-to-person, mes
senger and appointment calls as
well a. the report charge.
The greater the distance, the
greater will be the reduction, Mr..
Waldo says. For example, from
Fargo to New York, the station-to-
station day rate for three minutes
Is REDUCED from $500 to- $4.75: from
Bismarck to Los Angeles, from S.
70 to &4.75; from Grand Forks to
Pittsburgh, from $4.55 to $500; and
from Williston to San Francisco,
from $685. to $3.50.
The new evening rates (applying
from z p. m. to $3.50 p. n.y. between
the points affected by the change
will be reduced to q level about
halfway between the night rates
and the new day rates. The night
rates (after $3.50 p. n.y. will con-
tinue 1T approximately their pres
ent levels. Evening and night
rates, as at present, will apply only
to station-to-station calls.)

in the dew, lopmcnt Of it's tributary
road system. To the north is High
way No. 6, now being improved and
in time to provide good road from
the northern territory, but work is
progressing slowly on that. To the
south IS Highway No. 81, also q
road which should be improved but
one which is not even graded at the
present time.
Should Be Craveled
To the southeast, connecting with
U. S. Highway No. 10 at Sterling,
is U. s. Road No. 80. This road
has been improved in Emmons
county and graded in Burleigh
county but not yet graveled. As the
most important road offering an
outlet to the southeast Slope coun-
try-Emmons, Mcintosh, Logan,
Dickey, Sargent and ncighboring
counties-this highway should be
improved so that there is an all
weather road into Bismarck.
Highway No. 81 is to be improved
from Napoleon to where it con-
meets with u. S. No. SO. BY doing
this, connection over good roads to
Bismarck will be afforded residents
of 10Th Logan and Mcintosh coun-
ties, since Highway No. 3 is inn
proved from Napoleon to Ashley
and on to the South Dakota border.
Highway No. IS also provides a
link with u. S. Highway 81 from
the McIntosh-Logan county line
and this improvement would further
help to bring traffic to Bismarck.
North Roads Need Attention
Probably the most important i'm
provemcnt necessary is that of
Highway No. Al, north from Wilton
to Mercer. This road, half of which
lies in '>urleigh county, is unim-
proved. If it were graveled, it
would provide an all-weather road
for residents Of towns along the
Turtle Lake line of the Northern

New Salem Circuit
Passes Clean Test

That the New Salem cooperative
circuit has recently passed q 100
per cent clean T. B. test is re-
port just received from A. A. Haines
by Prof. J. H. Shepperd, head Of
the animal husbandry department,
North Dakota Agricultural college.
This extraordinary piece of work
has been accomplished by a group
of some "a neighbors who continue
the circuit which was started in the
New Salem district Is years ago.
Clean dairy cattle, which come as
a result Of proper breeding, feed
ing and testing, have b ready sale
on the markets, according to the ex-
periences of farmers who belong to
the New Salem breeding circuit.
Demands for the circuit cattle have
been SO heavy during recent years
that heifers and cows cannot be
raised fast enough to supply the
orders. 1--WE could easily handle
another hundred head Of grade cows
this fall" writes. Mr.. Haines.
The circuit has developed pro-
ject in the form of cow testing
association, consisting of some two
dozen members. This work, of
course, is aside from the T. B. free
testing which has to be carried on
through veterinarian. The cow
testing association has it's own test
or, but he is under the supervision
of the circuit supervisor, Mr.. Haines.
The testing association is required
to test it's cows for 7. B. and to
keep the herds free from it, accord
ing to Professor Shepherd.
The circuit, working ms one unit,
endorses the records of the grade
COWS in the testing association and
sells the cows for the members. 1t
is usual practice for the circuit
to sell a purc-bred bull to head the
purchasers herd Of cattle. The cir
cult also requires that the grade
breeders of the cow testing associa-
ton turn five per cent Of the money
received for all grade cows sold for
breeding purposes into the circuit
treasury to compensate it for the
service it renders. This policy is
working out happily for the COW
testing association members, accord
ing to Professor Shepherd.

on the farm. In this book the test

cow on test.
Helps Duild " Herd
One big advantage of the COW
testing association work, according
to those who have tried it out, is
that it teaches the real value Of
the herd sire. 1t gives the farmer a
chance to keep all the good sires
and get rid Of the poor individuals
not capable of transmitting produc-
ton qualities to their daughters and
granddaughter. The chief reason
for COW testing, suggests Mr.. Chal-
ley, is to build up the herd. Also
buyers are looking more and. more
for dairy cows and heifers with rec
ord backings. In this way it helps
build sales.
An increase in milk and butter
fat production during three years
Of cow testing association work is
indicated by one herd in North Da-
kota. In 1924 this herd had an
average of 1912 pounds Of milk per
COW. Just three years later, 1927,
this herd had an average milk pro-
duction per cow Of S,SS5 pounds and
329 pounds of butterfat. That would
make an increase of So pounds of
butterfat per cow of 1903 pounds
of butterfat for the entire herd.
This is not an unusual case. sta'es
Mr.. ChalIey. Other herds are doing
just as we'll after continuing in the
COW testing association for several
years.
The COW testers are men who have
had special training in testing milk
and in dairy cow feeding. They
are in a position to give many
pointers on feeding of the dairy COW.
