ALASKA BRED CON| SETS MILK RECORD
 FQR TERRITORY
GALLOWAY HOLSTEIN CROSS AT EXPERIMENT STATION
 GETTING RESULTS

The crossing of Galloway and IIolstein cattle in Alaska for a harder animal and greater milk production has reached very satis- factory results at the MatanuSka Experimental Station, where a seven year old COW, born in Alaska, weighing 1900 pounds has produced 12,000 pounds of milk in the past 365 days, running four and one-ha.f Irercent butter fat. the highest re- |ccrd in Alaska to date. The test was reported by w. T. White, ami nal husbandnan of the EXperi- ment Service, who declares that the several years of cross breeding and selection have finally produced a superior grade of animal both for milk production and beef With young progeny coming up that
 show every indication of outdis- tancing the present record. Young heifers in their first lactation, Mir. White says, have prduced 5000 pounds of milk and will go 2,C0O pounds over this year.
 The real significance of the re-
 'ord is seen in the fact that the av-
 craze of milk production in the States per COW is between 5000 and 5000 pounds and that heretofore in
 Alaska the record was harlly over 5000 or in other words, an Alaskan
 bred COW has doubled the milk pro duction over that of the ordinary run.
 There are 25 head of crosses at Ithe Matanuska farm and uf these nine head are improving so rapiGly that all milk records are expected Ito go by the board when they hit their real stride

AMERICAS CROSS OF FIRE

A fire prevention artist aptly pic
tured great cross amid a sea OF
flames. Upon the cross he lettered
the world CARELESSNESS and cal
led the completed sketch Americas
Great Cross" There is fire every
minute of every day somewhere
throughout the length and breadth
of our land.
If, from above, we could photo
graph simultaneously all the fires
that rage in the course Of q year,
America would indeed appear as a
sea of flames. Two companion eros
SEES, however, should be reared
alongside the first one and be labeled
False Economy in Building Con-
struction and False Economy in Fire
Protection. These factors, with
carelessness, are largely responsible
for our shameful annual fire loss
which amounted to nearly $500,00O,-
900 in 1927.
The organizations that are en-
deavoring to lift Americas great
cross from her shoulders" advocate
an all-year fire prevention campaign,
but special efforts are put forth dur
ing Fire Prevention Week, which
this year falls on October to 13.
An intensive program at that time
aims to center public interest upon
the things people should practice all
year to make America safer against
fire.
In the front rank of the organiza-
tions enlisted in fire prevention ac-
tivities is the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.

The use of machinery and power
equipment on farms is steadily in
creasing. The agricultural revolu-
ton" is on in earnest.
In the Northwest, according to a
Federal Reserve Bank report, agri-
cultural equipment sales during the
first half of 1928 totaled appreciably
more than in the same period in
1927.
Such machines as the crawler type
tractor and the combine reduce farm
costs, increase efficiency and at the
same time save labor. A manufact-
urer reports that tractor sales in
Montana for the first four months of
this year were larger than for the
whole of 1927. Modern industrial
methods that use machine power in
place of hand power, are becoming
the methods of the farms. The re-
suit is that we are entering an era OF
higher standards of living and pros
perity for agriculture.
