Good Wool Profits

Leland Case, veteran animal

declared that good wool profits"

College Cows Win
National Approval
PAGE SEvEM

The Holstein-Friesian AsSocia-
ton of America has announced
that two registered Holstein cows
in the dairy herd at North Caro-
lima State College, Raleigh, have
recently completed official pro-
duction records in herd test of
more than 400 pounds of butter
fat.
The higher producer of the two
was North Carolina Echo 7th,
2097439, with a record of AL
pounds of butterfat and 1925
pounds of milk. This is more
than two and half times the
production of the nations aver
age COW. The record was made
in 365 days at two milkings daily.
Echo 7th is four years and IL
months of age and was sired by
the famous Osborndale Daniel
Inka May, 1892.
The second high producer is
North Carolina Echo End, 1770760,
with 448 pounds of butterfat and
1891 pounds of milk, made i'm
344 days on twice daily milkings.
Echo End is nine years, II months
old, and was sired by North Caro-
lima State Butterboy, 647045.
These and other purebred ami
mails of various types have been
used in a 20-year-old program to
bolster private herds in the state.
Despite the sale of many of its
top animals to farmers over the
years, the college herds have been
gradually improved by the intro
duction of improved breeding
stock.

with success, according to Charles

r Consisting of a series of foot

system eliminates the landing strip
for night fliers.
Used by the army and navy dur

Refectors are portable and can
be placed at any point in the field.
Besides giving pilots a brilliantly
lighted landing field, refectors ad-
