Year Book Cites
Farm Prosperity

American farmers are completing
the longest continued period OF farm
prosperity in the Nations history
according to the 1948 Encyclopedias
Britannica Year Book. The period
covers nine years OF maximum farm
production.
The annual points out that the
countrys agricultural industry assets
on January l, 1947, were estimated
by the Agriculture Department at
Sill ,209, ,OOO, 900, the largest figure in
history. Gross income during l947
was estimated at S34, 800, ,000, 900.
Significant farming aspects of 1947
were listed by the year book as:
Record crops Of wheat, rice, pea
nuts, sugar beets and pears. Below
average production Of corn, barley
rye. cotton, sweet potatoes, sugar
cane.
In the livestock field, heavy mar
ketings of beef cattle took place
during the year, and q slight re-
covery in hog production was noted
Sheep and lamb production con-
tinued to decline, and there was
little change noted in the dairy and
poultry industries.
The annual said farm prices
reached new peaks for most crops
and livestock, and farmer paid on
debts and accumulated cash bank
deposits, bonds and investments.

In Loudoun County, Va, beyond
the Catoctin Ridge in the Water
ford area, Paul Strickler, an 1owan
turned Virginia farmer, is breeding
a strain Of Brown Swiss dairy cattle
that do not have horns.
Mr.. Strickler bought several OF
these polled Swiss before he left
Iowa three years ago. AS far as he
knows, they are the only representa-
tives Of the breed that are naturally
hornless, and he has had similar
opinions from other breeders.
From this start, Mr.. Strickler Is
breeding q polled strain. He now
has several cows and number OF
bull calves coming on. From his
experience he expects about so per
cent of the calves, sired by polled
bulls and out Of polled cows, to pos
sess the hornless characteristic.
Advantages Are Many.
Mr.. Strickler believes the advan-
tages of a polled dairy cow are many.
First of all, most dairymen now re-
move the horns from their cows,
and a polled strain would eliminate
this job. Too, in the South, dairy
men have trouble with the horn
screw worm. even with cows that
have been dehorned, and hornless
cattle should do we'll in this area.
"A cow doesn't need horns" Mr..
Strickler said. They don't have
to fight wolves any more and they
are kept In well-fenced pastures"
The Brown Swiss. Mr.. Strickler
believes, is going to become more
important to dairymen throughout
this section of the country. They
are q heavy, rugged cow, resistant
to disease, and have good milk
producing characteristics. His herd
averages around 10000 pounds Of 4
per cent butterfat milk year.

More Funds Needed
To Pay for Sheep
Killed by Dogs

The need for a sheep indemniflca-
ton fund-similar to that now in
effect through the United Wool
Marketing Cooperative at Har-
risonburg-to provide prompt cash
compensation to growers whose
sheep are killed by dogs, Is being
stressed by DR.. J. L. Maxton, mar
keting specialist for the Virginia
Extension Service.
In q brief on present types OF
indemnification available to breed
ers, DR.. Maxton pointed out that
payments for sheep killed by dogs
Is limited in many counties to dog
tax collections and that the high
assessment of sheep for insurance
purposes is wrong in principle and
has not solved the sheep loss prob
lem"
Further, he said, where the fund
available is divided at the end OF
the year on q pro-rata basis, 1t often
does not meet the payments on an
assessed value basis, and in coun-
ties where the funds are paid
monthly or quarterly, the fund may
be exhausted before the end OF the
year. In the latter case, DR.. Max
ton said. producers losing sheep by
dogs late in the year may receive
no reimbursement at all.
State Numbers Decline.
Although prices of sheep lambs
and wool have been good since
1887, numbers in Virginia have de-
clined by $1,000 in this ll-year
period.
Probing causes, DR.. Maxton said
about 5000 have been killed an
nually by dogs and delays in pay
ments by boards of supervisors have
put many producers out Of the
sheep business.
Other causes for the decline list
ed by the economist included the
difficulty Of parasite control and
the fact that other type Of farm
ing have paid better temporarily
than sheep production.
Citing advantages Of a higher
sheep production in the State, DR..
Maxton said that 1t would tend to
diversity the farm business and re-
duce risks and that 1t would give
high returns for money invested.
Further, higher sheep numbers
would make possible better use Of
pastures and wastelands, use Of
feed normally wasted and more
efficient use Of farm labor.
