Three Things to Do to Make
All Dairy Herds More
Profitable.

tBy o. z. Reed, Chief of the Bureau of
Dairy Industry u S department
of Agriculture, Washington, d c.
There are three things we can do
10 make our dairy herds more protiia-
BILE. Gull the low producers; feed the
Others according to what they can pro-
duce when well fed: then breed in,
telligently. Let's consider what we
can accomplish by culling the low pro,
dJcing cows from our dairy herds.
Studies. by the bureau of dairy in
dustry, United States Department of
Agriculture. of the production. feed
cost, and income records of cows on
test in dairy herd Improvement asso-
Citations, have shown that the ellmina-
ton of the lowest producers from the
dairy herd not only increases the av-
erage production per cow, but always
results in increasing the cash income
over cost of feed per COW. Therefore.
if any dairyman is dissatisfied with
the income which he makes over cost
of feed, he can always increase that
income per COW by cuiling little
closer.
Surplus of Dairy Products.
At present, when the surplus of
dairy products in this country is alb
normally high, and when prices are
correspondence low, closer culling is
one of the ways of getting better re-
suits Immediately. Our figures indi-
cate that culling the lowest producing
] per cent of the dairy cows in this
country would not lower the milk and
butter fat production as much as
per cent, but only one-fifth of per
cent; and that culling the lowest pro-
ducing 10 per cent of our cows would
not lower the milk and butter fat pro-
duction 10 per cent, but only 5 per
cent.
Some people say that it is not good
logic TO blame the low producers when
there is surplus of dairy products in
this country. | am not interested in
whether it is the low producers or
whether it is the high producers that
cause the surplus, but am nightly
interested in the fine effect which the
culling of the low producing cows from
our dairy herds has upor the pocket.
book of the dairy industry.
Family Cow Profitable.
However, not every low producing
dairy COW in the United States repre-
sentS a loss. There are farms where
the family COW lives principally on
feed that would otherwise be wasted
and she may be cared for by labor
that could not earn as much in any
other way. We are talking now about
the commercial dairy.
In the commercial dairy there seems
TO be little danger that the culling will
be too severe. If all our commercial
dairy herds were cu.ied as they should
be culled, the production of milk
could be so controlled that it could
be kept constantly in balance with
cons dmption. That. of course, would
be the ideal situation.
However, to bring about such an

Steffen Calls Football
Consistent Foe of Crime

Football was extolled as preventa-
tive of crime by Criminal Court
Judge Walter p. Steffen in an address
before the Advertising Mems Post of
the American Legion at Chicago. The
judge is football coach at Carnegie
Institute of Technology.
Young men who come before me
in the Criminal court seldom, if ever,
played football" said the judge. "They
exerted their energy in different
way.
playing football requires all your
surplus energy and at the same time
gives you clear mind. The cause Of
crime today is that too many young
men have too much energy which they
do not know how to exert in the
right way"
