Well for Youngsters to-
Learn to Stand Alone

The best thing that can happen to
any young person, after receiving sur-
ficient education and technical train
ing. is to be away from home and to
stand alone on his or her own feet.
Only in this way can young people pc
sure that they can handle the affairs
of life successfully. Not only do they
develop sense of thrift, but with this
new-found independence they also
come into contact with people, and
must learn to make decisions, to use
their own Judgment, to lessen their
errors by learning from previous
ones. And, everything being equal,
they learn something of understanding
and tolerance and sympathy, SO much
needed today and always. They leaS
teamwork and cooperation, to
orders and to give them. They lear

CLUB CONGRESS

The State of Maryland will be
represented this year at the eighth
annual All Club Congress, which
will be held from November goth to
December 9Th during the Inter-
national Livestock Exposition in
Chicago, by six outstanding young
men who have made enviable rec
ords for themselves from the stand
point of service and achievements
in their All Club project work.
They are Alton Skies, Allegany
county; Ernest Hauser, Garrett
county; Chester Cissel, Howard
county; Orville Ernest, Washington
county; and Carl Knoop and j.
Royston Smithson, Hartford county.
1t was deemed advisable to take two
boys from Hartford county, according
to o. X. Quivey, agricultural agent
for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
who made the final selections, be-
cause of the excellence and number
of records turned in from that
county.
The trip is being provided the boys
by the Baltimore & Ohio and the
party will leave on the Capitol
Limited the afternoon of Thanks
giving Day. Those who will accom-
pany the young men are: r. G.
jenkins, State Bpys' Club Agent
for the State of Maryland. and O.
X. Quivey and L. S. Hartley. of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The Congress, which is held under
the auspices of the National Com
mettee on Boys and Girls Clut
work in cooperation with the U. S
Department of Agriculture and the
various State Agricultural Colleges
is always attended by many hund
reds of young men and women from
all parts of the country. A fine pro
gram of educational and entertain
ment features is promised.
Several years ago the Baltimor'

GOOD DAIRY COWS MULTIPLY
PROFITS

A quart of milk day for each indi.
vidual has become more or less slogan
but il we were using that amount of
milk, asserts H. c. Barker. Dairy Spec
ialist for the University of Maryland
Extension Service, it would require a.
million cows to supply our present needs,
instead of the ~ million we now have
in the United States.
1t is possible, according to Mr.. Bar
ker, to meet this increased demand,
however, with fewer cows by culling out
the low producers, breeding the better
ones to high-class bulls and giving the
good COWS more feed and better bal
anced ration. He states that in a recent
study of more than 100, 900 records OF
cows in Herd Improvement Associations
in the United States. the cows that pro-
duced only 100 pounds of butterfat a
year made an income above the cost Of
feed OF $I4 per COW. Inc 2oo-pound
COWS had an income above feed costs
of SIS. Continuing on up to cows that
produced 500 pounds of butferfat it wa:
found that the average income above
feed costs for COWS in that class was
$2I5 per animal.
AS the butterfat produced per cow in
creased five times, that is, from 100 tc
500 pounds of fat, the income increased
from $I4 to $2I5, or more than four
teen times. 1t is true that the SOC
pounds-cow ate SIo8 worth of feed
compared with $40 worth consumed BY
the 1oo-pound cow, but with twice a:
much cost for feed; the 5oo-pounc
cow made fourteen times as much
income.
Which would you rather do. ask!
Mr.. Barker, milk, feed and care fol
fourteen cows to make a profit o
$2I5. or milk, feed and care for ONT
cow to make the same profit?
