other cases the usual COW testing
method proved more accurate than
any others tried.
Similar tests made at other times
have shown almost identical results.
All such comparisons previously
made plainly indicate that the usual
type 0 fcoW testing records gives a
sufficiently accurate indication of
the cows producing ability for pur-
poses of developing a satisfactory
breeding, feeding and wedding pro-
gram.
AT a time like this when prices
of milk products are relatively low,
it is more important than ever for
the owner to know the producing
ability of his COWS. This is desir-
able so that low producers may be
eliminated, that all COWS in the herd
may be fed according to individual
production, and that a satisfactory
breeding program may be developed
for the future. The Eandard COW
testing association records may be
depended upon to furnish adequate
information to serve as founda-
ton for an entirely satisfactory
dairy improvement program.

BETTER CARE OF
SWINE RESULTS
in MORE PIGS

The increase this year in the av-
erage number of pigs raised per
litter throughout the United States
Is partly result of the more gen.
eral application of the swine-san-
itation system, in the opinion of E.
z. Russell. in charge of swine in
vestigations for the United States
Department of Agriculture, who
comments on the departments pig
survey report for June. This year
the average was GOA pigs per litter,
an increase of 0.07 pig over, last
year and 037 pig over 1929. This
is the first time in nine years that
the average has exceeded six pigs
per litter.
The increase made in the last
two years can not be credited to
any one factor" Russell explains,
but it is probable that much of the
showing is due to better manage
ment of herds and especially to the
prevention of worm infestation of
young pigs, through the use of the
swine-sanitation system. The fav-
orable weather conditions during
the spring narrowing seasons both
this year and last was, no doubt, a
great help in preventing big losses
everywhere"

WEATHER MEN
CONFER WITH
LOCAL CHAMBER

Recent visitors at the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce were G.. M.
French of Los Angeles and James
H. Gordon of Yuma, both connected
with the United States weather bu-
reau. These government officials
called upon Manager Robert Hays
in reference to the establishment of
a weather bureau airWay station at
the Imperial county airport.
Through the assistance of the Ell
Centre chamber, personnel was Sc
lected for this important aeronau-
tical weather station, and the same
will be established, according to
Manager Hays. in October or No
vember, about the time the lighting
of the Southern Trancontinental
Airway is completed to the Imperial
Valley.
The staff of this weather station
will consist of two men on contin-
uous duty, one of whom will always
be on hand. Their function will be
to send and receive every hour of
the day and the night teletype mes
Co6NO SoiiNtlllil mCdblltl COtlol-
tons. This information will be
available for local flyers and for fly
ers desiring to travel toward or
through Imperial Valley. 1t has
been demonstrated that such service
is of invaluable aid to the safety of
aerial navigation, and Ell Centre
Chamber Of Commerce officials as
sert that through the establishment
of this weather station the impor-
lance of Imperial countys airport

nized.
The weather bureau officials were
the guests of Vice-preSident w. A.
Tondro of the chamber of commerce
at the Rotary luncheon where both
gentlemen spoke briefly concerning
the Importance of the airport to
the local community. Gordon has
been frequent visitor to Ell Centre,
and has been of much assistance to
the chamber in establishing the win
ter fruit frost service for the bene-
fit of vegetable and citrus growers
here.
French, Hayes states, will return
to Ell Centre about the time the sta
ton is opened and ready for service
TO accept the same and to instruct
the two operators in its manipula-
ton, and to provide for weather bull
letins to serve flyers leaving the I'M

ACCURACY OF COW
TESTING RECORDS
IS SATISFACTORY

The accuracy OF the records Of
cow testing associations in calculat-
ing the monthly production of COWS
has sometimes been questioned,
largely because tests are not made
and weights are not taken of each
milking, but milk usually weighed
and tested one day each month. In
order to have an accurate record
of cows production, every milking
should be carefully weighed and
tested, but such a procedure would
add greatly to the expense and
place testing beyond the reach of
I'most dairymen.
The purpose of keeping monthly
production records on the COW test
ing association plan is to furnish
records which are sufficiently near
the actual amount of milk and but
terfat produced and feed consumed
to show the utility value of each
COW of producing age in the herd.
With this knowledge it is possible
to weed out Improbable COWS and
feed the others according to their
producing ability.
While absolutely accurate rec
ords are not obtained by taking
samples and testing one days pro-
duction each month, it is believed
that such records are sufficient for
practical purposes. The bureau of
dairy Industry of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture has made COM
parsons with the actual known pro-
duction as determined by weighing
and testing each milking throughout
the entire period with the usual
COW testing method, as we'll as with
a number of other methods, in Or
der to determine their relative &C
curacy. 1t was found that in the
COW testing method the average er-
ror was less than 3 per cent. being
80 per cent. The usual cow test
ing method proved to be more &C
curate than any other of the several
methods tried, with one exception
that exception being where the milk
at each milking was weighed
throughout the entire period and
tested on the middle day of each
month. In this method the aver
age error was 2.35 per cent. In all

Orange Eggnog
The following rule for an
orange eggnog will serve two per-
sons:
One egg, orange, cup chilled
milk, l tablespoon sugar, few
grains salt.
Squeeze juice from orange and
crate rind. Combine grated rind
and juice and let stand while
separating yolk from white of egg
Beat yolk with sugar and add
strained juice. Beat we'll and add
milk and salt. Mix thoroughly
and fold in white of egg beaten
until stiff. Be sure to chill or.
ange and egg as we'll as milk.
When you serve a drink made
with egg you are adding 70 cal
cries of protein and fat as well
as vitamins and minerals to the
usual glass of milk. This is the
case when a whole egg Is used for
each person. The orange eggnog
which allows half an egg fol-
each serving. is lower in calorie
content than the chocolate egg
nog.

Male Twins Are
Hard To Locate

NEW YORK, Aug. %. UP)-Boy
twins under one year of age are
rarer than the proverbial day in
June, according to Frank Heath,
movie casting director
A recent search for youngsters Of
this sex, age and description by
him was conducted with the cooper
alton of municipal statistical bu-
reaus. A careful search of the birth
records for October, November and
December of 1880 and January Of
1881 revealed that only one set of
male twins were born to the mil
lions of New York citizens in that
four-month period.
And a further search revealed
that this particular set had moved
with their parents to a distant
city!
The youngsters were sought for a

It's a good plan to have all the

Disease Unnecessary.
According to the public health
service there is really no need for
any one nowadays ever to have
either smallpox or diphtheria, and
those diseases, as is well known,
have been in the past among the
most deadly of scourges. Vaccina-
tion against smallpox, repeated in
a few years, will protect against
smallpox.
Such great Improvements have
been made since the introduction
of this method that no one should
hesitate to have his children vac

Increase Expectation of
Life at Birth From
4S to So Years.

Washington.-Up to the present
time, according to the United
States public health service, the
most significant advances in public
health achievement have been man
ifested among the lower age groups
1t is true, of course, that the great
sanitary reforms, such as the filtra.
ton of water supplies, have remark
ably diminished diseases among all
ages and classes of persons, but the
actual saving of life has been most
pronounced among children, and
especially little children and in
fants. 1t is for this reason that
the expectation of life at birth
that is, the average length of time
that all children born at a given
time will live-has increased from
forty-eight to about fifty eight years
in the last 20 years.
This Is very encouraging, because
it shows clearly that much of the
disease from which the human race
has been suffering. and many early
deaths, can be avoided if specialists
put their best existing sanitary
knowledge into practice. But while
it is gratifying to know that the
nation is on the right track in the
battle against disease, it is true
that there is another side to the pic
ture-a great wastage of health
and life still continues, due TO the
failure to apply existing knowl-
edge.
Avoidance Still Is Need.
There are some diseases which
may be controlled and eventually
eradicated by general measures un-
dertaken by the community in
which the individual citizen is sell
dom called upon to take part. There
are great many other diseases,
however, for which as yet no gen
eral measures have been devised.

early part of the season, when the

now until we are complaining of
the heat. Ii is then we'll 10 re-
member that there is such a thing
as too much direct sunshine and
that shade is just as important.
and We should provide some for
those growing chicks. If their
yards have no natural shade, then
provide some artificial shade for
them. Also remember they relish
fresh. clear water as well as you
do. Do not allow their drinking
vessels to become dirty, and Shiny.
Keep them clean and supplied with
fresh water.
Also see that their roosting quar-
ters are kept cleaned and disin-
fected. They will not only brood
but hatch lice and mites as well
as they will brood chicks. Ii is
much easier to keep rid of the
pests than it is to get rid of them.
A little elbow grease and back
bending exercise will do your
chicks a lot of good, if rightly ap-
piled.
