Book-Shy Business Men
Philadelphia Bulletin)

According to Paul T. Cherington, ex- Harvard pro- lessor addressing meeting of librarians flew $20OOO executives read worthwhile book. He quoted Ia statistcay minded friend as having said that it costs with such salary $60 to read volume of average size.
 $20000 executive probably earns tor gets) about $10 hour for his actual working time but he can't lget away with charging that for each of his unemployed hours If he could he might represent that it costs him $10 in addition to the check to eat his dinner; $70 for nights sleep, and $30 plus admission, to sit in of the front at musical comedy.
 This statement that high-salared executives don't read books brings up again the subject of the tired business man. The probability is that such person is myth Business not too tired to chase pill several miles over golf course when they have finished their office abors. The $20000 executive, take him by and large probably reads as many books as his $2000 subordinate Earnings haven't much to do with bookishness.

LINKS WITH ALASKA; PAST
 AND FUTURE"

Alaskas possibilities can not be over- emphasize and down on Puget Sound they again are beconn aware of it. Interesting and colorful the Terr torys past, the future developments will dim int the achievements since the turn of tf century. Commenting under the title Links Wit Alaska; Past and Future" the Seattle t-Intelger ger makes some points that well worth pastir in the hat:
 Later this year the eighty-sixth anniver- sary of the arrival of the Denny party mark ing the first settlement of what is now Seat tle will be observed.
 But most historians agree that the growth of the new Seattle, which we know today dates from the rush to the Klondike, forty years ago this summer
 It was the outfittng of the adventurers at this port, and the subsequent flow of wealth from the Yukon and Alaska that made Seat ties growth at that period the most rapid of American cities.
 In large measure it has been the develop ment of Alaska that has been responsible for the degree of progress that Seattle and Taco have since achieved.
 Historic traditions add interest to the plans of the pioneers of Alaska and the Yukon to rekindle memories of forty years ago in observances to be held later this year.
 The close ties that continue to knit Puget Sound with the territory to the north should provide continuing interest that will keep them abreast of Alaska's current needs.
 Fisheries today have crowded mineral re- sources from first place in Alaskas economic picture. The menace that the Alaska fisheries face from alien encroachments is one of AL laska's current problems that should be looked upon national problem.
 Gold mining in Alaska is coming back. It requires more landing fields for planes and more roads for its development.
 Alaska a vacation land for summer tour sts is coming into its own Ships are filled to capacity for summer sailngs this year
 But think how many more tourists would be able to Alaska if they could drive north in their own cars, the projected Interna- tional Highway!
 The wealth that Alaska has produced has confounded the critics who dubbed it Stewards x folly" when it was purchased, seventy years ago for seven million dollars.
 But Alaska's development thus far does not begin to touch its possibilities.
 Its fuller developments and protection is

GOOD COWS ON EVERY FARM
IS AIM OF DAIRY PROMOTION
BY C. D. WHITE
Henderson County Farm Agent

For quite number of years, dairying has been one
of the chief sources of income for many farmers in our
county This industry is largely confined to the western
part of Henderson county when the COW should be on
practically every farm. The main reason why more OF
our farmers do not keep is because our market
has largely been for Grade Milk which naturally
limited the number of that could be prohtably
kept Fortunately this condition does not exist at the
present time, and sell all the milk that we can
produce to Btmore Diaries for ice cream, to Kamia
Dairy Hendersonville for butter.
To promote better dairying in our county, we are
holding Guernsey Promotion SALE at Capt. Ellison A.
Smyths Farm Flat Rock. n. c., on Friday May Z, at
~ noon. In this sale have of the best blood
lines to be found in the United States, and farmers
and Al Club members should take advantage of this
opportunity to get good foundation animal at rea-
sonable price Make your plans to attend this sale.
Henderson County All Club members will have sand
witches and cold drinks for sale Profits if any, are to
be used to promote All work in the county.

when trip North visited several herd of Guernsey
cattle and impressed with their superiority Dairy
Cattle the Jerseys, and disposed of my herd of

4 farmer milks COWS for the
profit he hopes to receive from
them, not for pleasure. If per-
son were seeking pleasure, ne
would not expect to find 1t IN a
COW barn between two cows on a
hot summer afternoon or at 8
o'clock on a cold, icy morning.
In spite of the long hours and
constant labor connected with
dairy farming, the net returns
from many herds, because of low
production, is small. That is esPe-
cially true of herds located in the
south, or cash crop section of the
country, where dairy farming is
comparatively new and undevelop-
ed. According to the 1885 census
report the average production OF
cows in the southern states was
PIGS pounds of milk and l22
pounds of butterfat. This produc-
ton is too low to be profitable.
1t is a generally accepted fact
among the members of the DAIRY
Herd Improvement associations OF
North Carolina that herd aver
age of around 800 pounds of but
terfat annually is necessary Tor
profitable operation. This butter
fat production would mean, an
average milk production of about
$500 pounds for Jersey or
Guernsey herd and $500 pounds
for a Holstein herd.
The dollar value of high pro-
duction is clearly illustrated by
the following table:

ginning with those between $50
and 200 pounds of butterfat in
the first group and advancing so
pounds in each group. These rec
ords, completed during 1886, rep
resenting three large herds locat-
ed in the Central Piedmont Sec
ton of North Carolina clearly
show the value of high produc-
ton. 1t will be noted that there
was I drop in the feed cost of pro-
ducing 100 pounds Of milk. from
$l.90 in group one to Sl.Ol, in
group seven. About onc-half of
these cows were Holsteins, the
other half being grade Jerseys
and Guernseys.
According to the last report
available, the average production
for all the cows in the Dairy Herd
Improvement associations in
America is S0l5 pounds Of milk
and 1922 pounds of butterfat.
Since these cows are scattered all
over the country their production
is ample proof that herd aver
age of 300 or more pounds of but
terfat is attainable when good
herd practices are followed.
The main factors involved in
developing a good herd average
are:
breeding
Feeding
3-Culling
disease Prevention
Care
BREEDING
One of the greatest needs Of
the dairy industry in the south is
better dairy bulls - bulls proven
for production. When the herd
sire is bred pure for production
he will transmit that's trait to his
offspring. If his Inheritance for
production is low he will transmit
low production. Since he may
raise or lower the production Of
his daughters when compared with
that of their dams, much care
should be exercised in his selec-
ton.
If good proven bulls could be
secured, or those which have
proven through the records of
their daughters that they can
transmit good production, much
of the uncertainty woul dbe re-
moved from dairy cattle breed
ing. Unfortunately good proven
bulls are not plentiful and when
you do find one che is not for
SALE" or the price is so high that
he is not within the financial
reach of the average dairyman.
However, since we may expect a
good proven bull to transmit the
same traits to his sons that he
does to his daughters we are war;
ranted in placing much depend
ence in the sons Of good proven
bulls. Added assurance Of the
transmitting ability Of such bulls
can be found in the record Of
their dams.
If the dams have proven thru
