THE WORTH OF A DAIRY SIRE
By DR.. John NJ. Evvard
Formerly Professor of Animal Hus-
bandry Iowa State College

1t is always pleasing to converse
with a professor who knows his
stuff'-such one is Professor
Weaver, formerly of Minnesota and
Iowa but now at the Oklahoma
Dairying School. We discussed the
purchasing price of the dairy bull"
and some of our mutual thoughts
along this line are presented below.
Price is an important consider
alton in buying herd sire; it is the
guide that is generally relied upon
in making purchase of the sire;
however, the most of quality per
dollar expended" is the great desire.
Senseless extravaganza certainly
has no place in any industry, and
such is true in buying bulls; never
theless, if there is any place where
in liberality is entirely commend
able, it is in the buying of a proven
dairy herd sire. A dairyman seldom
spends too much money for a proven
herd sire. The policy of false econ
omy which is often assumed tends to
lead the purchaser to a poor and in
ferior bull. The first thought should
not be that of price, but of meritor-
ious performance; the bull is a
breeder; what will his offspring be;
how much more will they be worth
than the progeny of bull that costs
one-third as much; if the superior
pull can produce offspring that
yield so pounds more of butterfat
yearly, how much more is he worth
than the inferior bull which pro-
duces daughters that yield, on the
average, so pounds less of fat an
nually than the dams; get out your
pencil and figure. figure, figure. Such
figuring pays. No female can be
worth so much to a herd as can a
sire. Often a heifer or COW can be
sold or traded at a figure that will
take care of the difference in price
between a good bull and a poor one.
The transaction may spell the "suc-
cess or failure" of that herd.
A common mistake in buying bulls
is to wait until the last minute be-
fore starting the search for one.
Then such haste is demanded that
really critical and careful Judgment |
may not be possible. Time for fore
and deliberate observation |
as well as analysis, permits of an in
telligent and economical purchase.

WORK AND COMMON SENSE WILL
MAKE BUSINESS RECOVERY

One of the best signs is the way
seasonal influences are being over
ridden. Industries which are accus-
toned to severe dildrums during
summer months have been expert
encing constant improvement. An
other excellent sign is that business
failures, a field where some of the
hlackest marks of depression were
registered during the. past three
years, have constantly declined.
And here's a.fact that has received
less notice than it deserves: Re-
covery has come before recovery
legislation has had a chance to get
into action. The great farm bill, the
Industrial Control Act, the railroad
bill-all of them are still in the
planning stage and they have. given
business no help save that of a psy-
Geological nature. Economic forces.
as distinct from governmental ac
tions designed to control those
forces, are almost all on the good
side now. .-.'

NEW TOMATO WIDELY
GROWN IN MARYLAND

The Marglobe tomato, a variety
resistant to wilt and nailhead rust,
developed several years ago by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture to meet the special needs of
southern growers, has become the
leading variety in the eastern to-
mato-grOwing regions and is widely
grown in Maryland, where a large
proportion of the annual tomato
crop is canned.
When the nailhead rust and the
fusarium wilt first attacked early
Florida tomatoes, the growers were
helpless against the diseases. No
treatment was found effective and
the department worked to develop
resistant varieties. ....,.
Department tomato specialists
crossed two varieties, the Globe and
the Marvel, to produce the Mar
globe. This proved resistant to the
diseases. The specialists thought
they were developing tomato that
would be grown chiefly in the Gulf
regions, but it Immediately became
widely popular and is now grown
over much of the. United States. The
tomato is an excellen early mid
season home-garden, market garden,
and canning variety.
Other tomato varieties introduced
by the department which are coming
into wider use in Maryland are the
Break O. Day, an early disease-re-
sistant, market-garden, and truck
ing variety; and the Pritchard,
which is few days later in ripen-
ing than the Earliana and which Is
especially noteworthy for its scarlet
color.
Estimates place the value of to-
matoes grown annually from va
rieties developed by the United
States Department OF Agriculture
at $10,000,000. Most OF these are
produced in areas so threatened by
disease that growing disease-sus-
ceptible plants is hazardous and un-
profitable.

MANY ATTEND
ODD FELLOWS
INSTALLATION
CCOntiHHed from First PG9s]


made by Noble Grand Hammond and
members of the visiting lodge.
Grand Master Pennington compli-
mented the Crystal Fount Lodge on
the fact that they were one of the
largest and most progressive lodges
in the State. He also stated that
Odd Fellowships not only in this
State but throughout the entire
country was doing all it could to al
leviate any hardship due to the de-
preston that were being suffered by
members and even non-members.
He stated, too, that Milford Odd Fell
lows should be proud of the fact
that they have been behind all
movements for civic betterments.
Clarence Jester, past noble grand,
then thanked the friends and visit
ing Odd Fellows for attendance, and
expressed the hope that more
young men would take advantage of
the fellowship offered by the lodge
by becoming members.
The program was then turned ov-
er to Major James Cannon who act
ed as chairman of the entertainment
committee. The entertainment,
which consisted of song and dance |
of high calibre was with
out a doubt the best ever presented |
by a lodge south of Wilmington.
The entertainm ent lasted over an
hour, and at its conclusion, everyone
was invited to the second floor,
where ice cream and cake were SER
we'd. 1t was a wonderful occasion,
and the City of Milford should be
very proud to have such an active
organization that has gained State
wide prominence.

A PLAN FOR TRUE TEMPERANCE
Legal liquor is coming Nothin

Legal liquor is coming. Nothing
can stop it. Z

Golden Wedding will arrive, and our

What shall we do. with this prod
uct that has. caused social, religious
and political upheavals. since the
birth of Mankind?
Untamed and allowed to run loose
it is creature of destruction and
despair. Held under attempted
heavy guard, as under the 18th
Amendment, it breaks its bonds and
produces chaos, disorder and corrup-
tion. , . +.
There, is wise, amazingly pro-
gressive, and straight thinking group
at the nations capitals running our
AFFAIRS, digging us out Of the indus
trial mire. There Is every reason to
believe that Mr. Roosevelt and his
aides are not going to let loose a
flood of liquor in this country just
to produce some much-needed tax
revenue, without giving deep
thought to the manner Of controlling
the problems it will create.
This writer. has q strong hunch
that many of the mistakes that this
and other nations have made in the
handling OF liquor will be eliminated
in the new era. Some of the SEN
sible provisions that may be expect
ed in the coming eoptrol of liquor,
as recommended by expert students
of the question, are;
Control Of liquor returned to the
individual states,
The encouragement OF the use of
beverage. Of low alcoholic content
by the separation Of sales outlets for
beer, from those selling strong
liquids. 50.
The protection of dry territories
against the smuggling Of liquor into
them. .- ~ , j., 49,. ...,
The removal of the liquor indus
try from any commercial. interest
in the places where it is sold.
The elimination of sales to minors
and inebriates.
The removal of liquor from politi-
cal domination by placing It in the
hands Of noil-partisan county and
regional control boards, with abso-
lutte authority to. issue, refuse and
revoke licenses and with no member |
in any way interested In the liquor |
business. ~.
The discourageinent of liquor |
chains and other developments CON
ducive to monopoly. cl.s.....
The imposition of taxes high en-
ough to produce satisfactory reve-
nue. but not high enough to encour-
age bootlegging and smuggling.
Great care must be taken to pro- |
iuce the desired economic Federal |
and state benefits OF liquors return
without re-creating. the bootIegging
Industry, which abnormally high |
taxes certainly would do.
And, most important OF all, the |

THE STRENGTH OF
THE WEEKLY PAPER

OF late years there has been a
growing realization of the perma-
nent value of the community news
paper. Those who read them have
always. realized their worth. But
time was when those. who viewed
from afar were inclined to look with
disdain upon the weekly press as
compared with the. daily, particular
ly the large city daily. -.-.
1t cannot be wholly accidental
that during the past decade there
have been so many articles In the ma
tional magazines and so many stud
les which call attention to the
growth, both. in size and influence,
of the community Newspaper. ~.
The great daily newspapers OF the
cities have been forced TO give more
and more OF their space to national
and international affairs. Their
readers have demanded this cover
age. These dailies have responded
to the demand with thoronghness
and intelligence, Today they are
printing more and better news OF
the world at large than ever before
in the history of Journalism.
But. because OF this very develop
ment, the town. and countryside news
has had to- be neglected. Side by
side with the demand for national
and international news Is that for
knowledge Of ones friends, ones ae-
quaintancesi ones ,lieighbors. This
is the particular field OF the COM
muhity weekly and it Is, in the full
filling Of this demand-neglected by
the dailies-that 1t has risen to new
heights of achievement
1t is doubtful II the country pub
fishers have awaited themselves OF
their opportunities even yet. The
community newspaper Is destined to
enlarge its audience steadily,
thereby inevitably increasing It's
own stability and influence. II ie no
longer a choice between the, city
daily and the community weekly.

GREEN PLEADS
FOR 'PARDNER'

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, July
30. U.P)-In a letter to Governor
Rolph today, Jack d. Green, SEN
fenced to hang next Friday for the
killing Of Hugh Crowley, detective
lieutenant, in Los Angeles in 1892
directed a plea that his companion
in the theatre holdup and Staying
be accorded ''fairness and JUS
tice.''
Joseph L. Regan, charged with
actually firing the shots that
killed Crowley, is also condemned
to die.
"Regan was not the instigator
of the holdup,'' Green wrote. "He
was talked into the affair by Tay-
lor Conway, the man who drove us
out there.
1--WE both mistook Crowley for
the manager of the theatre and
after he shot Regan he would not
let us surrender but cursed us and
said he d shoot us both down.
"That Began did tie shooting
instead of I seems only an act of
God to me, for it was a moment
when a man may try to save his
life instinctively.

while pursuing his duties as street
sweeper of Imperial, Sebastian
Gutirrez, 10, was found dead in
front OF his little tin shack on I'M
periaPs east side this morning.
He had complained of the heat
for several days and when neigh
bors did not see him this morning,
they investigated. He was sitting in
a chair before the door.
Gutirrez had made his home in
Imperial for 25 years and was IA
miliar character in that city. He
collected anything he found lying
around and piled it on the lot where
he made his home. Officials who
were summoned this morning ex-
pressed amazement at the motley
accumulation of articles.

Warns Amateurs
To Be Careful

High school and Junior college
athletes, who wish to maintain
good standing in the c. I. F.. and
the A. A. u, are cautioned by Seth
Van Patten, president of the South
ern Pacific association, A. A. u,
to use care in playing with night
baseball teams.
Van Patten points out that some
leagues playing baseball permit
payments to be made to pitchers
and other star players. If high
school and Junior college players
take part in games where such
conditions exist, their amateur
standing is endangered, he said.
Even where there is no open pay
ment of players, the status of some
teams are under suspicion, Van
Patten states, and amateur players
owe it to themselves to be careful
with whom they play.
