IMPROVING DAIRY HERD s
THROUGH BREEDING

Some immediate and temporary
improvement in the average produc-
ton of dairy herd can be made by
culling out low-producing cows and
some improvement in the efficiency
of the herd can be made by feeding
the remaining COWS more intelligent
ly, but permanent improvement in
the average producing capacity of
dairy cows can come only through
the use of breeding program which
eliminates the hereditary factors
that cause low production and sub
stitutes the factors for higher pro-
duction. The surest way to de-
velop a herd that will have an in
heritance for high level of produc-
ton is through the exclusive use Of
meritorious proved sires. The chief
objective of all d. H. 1. A. work
should be to provide information,
through testing and record-keeping,
which will make it possible to locate
and use outstanding sires.

raised, and "a occurred under back
yard conditions, j, e., where hogs are
kept in a pen or small dry lot,

is likely that few if any of these

in feeding and management had
been used. Losses also would be
reduced if the trouble was reported

The number Of outbreaks was
about equally spread between the

to serve desks at suggested locations
now and in the future. This resulted
in the new building, while under con-
struction, being equipped with the
necessary conduit between walls and
under floors to adequately serve the
offices with telephones.
When the building was sufficiently
completed, the telephone company's
construction forces installed the riser
cables, terminal frames, outlet boxes
and wired the offices for the installa-
ton of telephones. Then the switch
board and associated apparatus was
installed in rooms especially designed
for the purpose and when the build

A SMILE
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

A smile, the sun is shining,
And all so fair and bright;
Twilight, the birds are singing,
AS softly comes the night.
A smile when skies are overcast,
The toiling time and care,
And burdens seem so heavy,
That we sometimes have TO bear
A smile and trusting Jesus,
The faith that is strong and true
When the storm and tempest RACES
God will safely carry us through
And when life's journey is ended,
With Gods redeeming grace,
We can pass through the valley Of
shadows,
With smile upon our face,

BEEF CATTLE AVAILABLE FROM
DROUTH STRICKEN AREAS

representatives of the u. s. De-
partment of Agriculture are interest
ed in finding out whether Cecil
County farmers are interested in
purchasing beef cattle, to be trans
ferred from the drouth area into
states where there is adequate feed.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture wishes to assist anyone in our
State, or other states, in the location
of any type of beef cattle they de-
sire, whether it is feeder stock or
breeding cattle. These cattle are to
go through the regular commercial
channels and purchased by the indi-
vidual in this State to do with as he
sees fit.
The outlook for the beef cattle
business after next spring locks par
ticularly favorable from all data that
we have at our disposal at this time.
The only check that we can see
which will tend to in any way re-
tard considerable advance in beef
prices is consumptiye demand.
County Agent. ]. z. Miller, would
like to hear from anyone interested
in purchasing beef cattle, either
feeders or breeding stock. It is not
known at the presen. time just how
the transfer and the sale of the cat
tie will be made. However, COM
plete information, when it is avail
able. will be given to those inter-
estei.

local ring followers today were
awaiting with increased eager

Whether the Commissioners planned
further announcements today was not
known this morning, but it was doubt
full if more action was due today.
The appointment of Brown came as
something Of a surprise, for it was
Brown who recommended Inspector
Albert j. Headley for the post. In fact,
he was personally recommending
Headley to the Commissioners when
he was informed the job was his own.
Maj. Brown, who will be 81 years
old in August. is a booster of boxing
and recently was responsible for the
throwing open of precinct gymnasiums
to neighborhood children for boxing
matches and other games At high
school in Auburn, NJ Y, where he was

Dave hung on to his for half an hour,
and at last tired 1t out to the point
where he brought it into shallow
water near the boat and where We
could see it plainly. The captain
estimated it weighed between 125 and
$50 pounds. When it came close in,
it dived under a log in the water,
which we had not noticed. 1t came
up on the other side and lay there
shaking its head as though annoyed
at something Dave did all he dared
with the rod to induce him to come
back on our side of the log, but to
no avail. Finally it was decided to
jab it with a long gaff in the tail,

case, the big beasty just whirled

short under the log 'and left Dave

A Fish With Speed.

4 WORD about snook called also
"A sergeant and robalo). That's
my fish. He is built along the
lines OF a greyhound or a race horse,
and Is as fast as he looks. We caught
them from three pounds up to one big
one took home with me estimated by
various people at from II to 20
pounds. think nearer the latter, but
at any rate he was just one inch
shorter than our yardstick, and I
could put my double-up fist in
his mouth easily. We caught several
that size. There was something doing
every minute. And to show you that
the biggest one always gets away I'm
telling you that fought one all over
the neighborhood, brought him in, the
captain gated him and as he lifted
him into the boat Mr.. Shook gave a
wild flop and got his freedom. That
one the captain insisted was as big
as snooks get, and weighed at least
25 pounds. At one time I had a rs
pound (estimated) tarpon on my
spoon. He was with me just long
enough to make two of the widest
leaps you ever looked at, and then
wig-wagged us a farewell with his
tail to keep an engagement he had
out in the Gulf of Mexico. The
captain said it was lucky he got away,
as my tackle would never have held
anyway, and my reel was to hot to
touch when he quit me. Nevertheless,
I'd been willing to have risked a few
burnt-out bearings, at that. I also
distinguished myself by being the only
man in Florida who ever caught a
catfish trolling with a spoon. We
caught, trolling, jacks up to seven
pounds, and snooks as I've told you
Trout, and red fiSh-none of the latter
as large as the ones we caught at
Saratoga. which as you know ran
from Is to 40 pounds. The largest we
caught was 10 pounds.
One With Strategy.
"XXIHEN we drew in the shade
w for lunch at ! o'clock we
had enough, and the captain
said the fishing would not be so good
in the afternoon, anyway. Dave said
he knew he could catch a jew fish If
he had chance. So the captain
said if he wanted jew fish he'd
get him one. He at once took us to
a place where we anchored, and in
ones and lost two large ones. Those
we landed weighed 10 and 25 pounds.
I hooked one that simply dug his toes
