operators with some 1,400 cows. At

semen and heads for the farms.
Simple Operation
On the Sunday of our visit, a call
had just been received from Jim Os-
borne, who was milking Is head of
grade Holstein cows on his farm
just north of Bozeman. We found
the cow tied and waiting in the barn.
In a matter of a few minutes, Hill

the long glass tube of the syringe
with semen. He explained that the

DairYmen's Opinion

And what do the dairy co-opera-
tors think of the breeding program?
We asked Jim Osborne this question
and he answered, "It's a wonderful
thing the only possible way
small dairy operators can have the
use of such good bulls" Jim's en-
thusiasm had only one qualification
that was the necessity for watch
ing the herd much closer to see when
a cow or heifer was in heat. And this
can be difficult, he pointed out, espe-
cially when the heifers are turned
out into a distant pasture.
But Osborne's calves have been
excellent and will undoubtedly mean
increased milk production when they
go into the grade Holstein herd. Then
too, another cow can be kept on the
farm in place of a bull, which brings
in an extra profit, an added safety
factor and freedom from the danger
of transmitting diseases with a bull.

Value OF States Crops
Continues High in '48

During the first II months of
1948, North Carolina farmers sold
crops valued at total of $751;
$500, Moyle S. Williams, farm
management specialist at State Col
lege, said this week. With this rec
ord, the state continued to hold it's
place as one of the leading states in
value of crops produced.
The value of crops marketed dur
ing the same period last year was
slightly higher-$582, ,249.OO. Be-
cause marketings of cotton, tobacco
and other crops are heavy in the
State during December, the total for
the year is expected to be consider
ably higher.
Williams said that on the basis of
these figures North Carolina ranked
fourth in the nation in the value of
it's farm crops, exceeded only by
California, Texas, and Illinois. The
year-end total, he added, will prob
! ably push the Old North State up to
third place, as was the case in 1947.
The specialist pointed out that TO-
bacco, North Cardinals principal
money crop, is one of the very few
farm commodities which brought
higher prices in 1948 than in the
preceding year.
