LOW PRODUCING COWS
UNPROFITABLE MARKET
So for Hay and Nothing for Labor
Poor Business Policy

AS man is known by the company
he keeps, so is dairyman known by
the COWS he keeps. Man is advised to
discriminate among his companions,
and dairyman will find it profitable
to be choosey about his COWS.
According to production studies made
in dairying, COW that produces less
than 200 pounds Of butterfat year re-
turns less than So ton for the hay
she consumes and absolutely nothing
for the labor that is expended in her
care, while COW that produces $50
pounds of butterfat returns $40 per ton
for hay and good income for labor.
A good dairyman will not sell his
time for nothing or his hay on a So
market when there are higher markets
to be had. BY studying each individual
COW and keeping records on each, he
knows what every animal in his heard
is doing and whether he is being paid
well for his feed and labor.
The COW testing association is the
best friend the dairyman has, for 1t is
through the records secured in this
work that the dairyman is enabled to
keep his business on a paying basis.
The dairyman has it within his power
to control the kind of market he has
for his time or any of his feeds simply
by keeping only high producing an
inals in his herd, and disposing OF
those which the COW testing records
show to be improbable.
The COW testing association is not
only valuable in determining the
worth of the dairy COW but also Of the
herd sire. The production records OF
his daughters will indicate whether
he is real asset to the dairyman OF
just an expense.

GIRLS SHOULD NOT FAST TO
REDUCE WEIGHT SAYS
MISS HUNT

That the girl who fasts In order to
lose weight is eating her own flesh is
the statement of Miss Leila Wall Hunt.
associate professor OF foods and
nutrition at the State College, who
recently addressed group of under
and overweight co-eds at q deter
mine-your-weight" meeting sponsored
by the physical education department.
Girls who are reducing and who go
without meals are burning reserve
energy" declares Miss Hunt. I'm case
of sickness you have no resistance.
You have sapped your own stamina
by stealing energy from your own
body"
Nine hours sleep each night is i'm
perative to those DESTROYS Of increas-
ing in weight, declares Miss Hunt.
Relaxation and absolute freedom from
worry are prime essentials, and the
out-of-doors activities so numerous
are remarkable helps, as are mild
exercises Of any nature. Strenuous
activity is to be summed and left to
those who wish to lose excess baggage"
rather than gain.
EAT even when you are not hungry"
states Miss Hunt. Many times the ap-
petite will increase as you eat, par
ticularly in the case of well-prepared
and attractive FOODS. Eat breads,
thick soups, creamy vegetables, and
fatty meats regularly. The lean, meats
and fish are for the heavyweights.
You who wish to gain must eat fatten-
ing foods in fattening quantities. We
here in the home economics depart
ment are often ridiculed because of
our emphasis on Galleries, but am
stressing their value again. Eat foods
rich in calorie content and watch re-
suits. That charmingly symmetric
silhouette you now envy will be yours. "

MOST FARMS TOO SMALL
IN CUT OVER AREAS
Cleared Acreage Does Not Allow For
Profitable Handling

The average farm in the cut-over
sections of western Washington is too
small TO permit sufficient size of
business to satisfy the average farm
er or to keep him and his family en-
ployed on his own place at productive
farm labor. Many farmers therefore
are attempting TO buy additional acre
age to increase .heir size of business
and farm income.
According to a recent survey in
these sections, the average farm con-
tains 28.7 acres, but less than half, or
1876 acres, is cleared. OF this cleared
area, 1913 acres are in crops and the
rest in pasture. The income that can
be secured from this small area is not
sufficient to provide for the farmer
and his family, so part of the year
finds them working away from the
farm, either in town or in lumber
camps. Clearing the remainder of the
farm and thereby increasing the size
of business will result in greater con-
tentment and increased capital hold
ings.
Every farmer in the logged-off sec
ton should have definitely estab-
lished clearing policy" says r. N. Mil
Ter, extension specialist in land clear
ing economics, This policy should in
clude the clearing, breaking and seed
ing of three to five acres of the I'M
cleared portion of the farm each year.
With the perfecting of new methods
of land clearing, this can easily be
done at small cost. Electric and gaso-
line stump burners and the low pow
cred gasoline stump pullers now in
use are effective in reducing the cost
of land clearing to a fraction of the
labor and cash costs Of generation
ago.

Reading Season at Hand

Progressive farmers will find that the
winter reading season can be very pro-
fitably spent with bulletins that relate
recent Investigations along agricultural
lines and discuss improved farm and
home practices. A total of 1880 bull

Extension Service to farmers of this
state in 1928. If you do not have re-

Guide Pattern Helps Home Sewer

On the average, the home sewer has
more difficulty with pattern alteration
and garment fitting than with any
other part of garment construction. A
great deal of this altering may be
eliminated if a foundation pattern, us
ing good quality of unbleached mus
lin, is cut over q simple dress pattern
with q normal shoulder seam, high
neck line and set-in sleeves and care
fully fit to the individual. Almost any
style of dress and many blouses can
be designed from this Eattern.

Many COWS which produced splendid

during the winter months simply be-
cause the feed has not been compound
ed TO furnish the proper nutrients for

Substitute for Cheap Hay

With hay scarce and high, it will be
advisable for the farmer to lay in a
supply of their feeds that will substitute
for hay in winter feeding, says j. K.
Ford, extension livestock specialist.
These supplies purchased when the
market is low will aid materially in re-
ducing the cost Of producing livestock.
