Predict Young Cows
Future By 'Age
Conversion Factors"

Dairy scientists of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture get reliable
indications Of how much milk q
young COW will give at maturity by
multiplying her early production
Dy certain "age conversion factors. -
Such an estimate of a voung
cows potential production could be
a tremendous help to the individual
farmer in deciding whether she is
worth keeping as a milk COW, saws
Delmar j. Young, Extension dairy
specialist at the University Of Della
ware. 1t can also furnish a means
OF making an early analysis of her
sire's desiTability as a breeding
animal.
The new conversion factors cut
to a minimum the possible margin
OF error in estimating a cows ma
ture production" Mr.. Young states.
The revised factors are based on
study of the 305-day lactation
records Of nearly 100000 cows Of all
ages milked twice a day, reported
from 1945 through 1852.
Inc conversion factors" used
by USDA in estimating a cows ca
pacity vary slightly with the age
Of the COW and with different
breeds, but they are simple enough
so that anyone can use them.
Farmers can obtain tables giving
the conversion factors from the
Dairy Husbandry Research Branch,
D. S. Department Of Agriculture.
25, D. C.
These tables have been used for
many years by scientists conducting
the nationwide Dairy Herd I'm
DrOvement Associations sire-prov-
ng program. Within the last year
The figures have been revised to re-
1ect more accurately differences
IN production of animals Of different
ages. .AyTshires, Brown Swiss,
Guernaey, HOlstein, Jersey, and
ShOrthOrn are included.

Webb Chides Broyhi|I
On Ballot Challenge

John Webb, Democratic con-
gressional candidate in Virginia's
Tenth District. yesterday chided
his opponent for his threat to
contest the Fairfax Electoral
Boards listing of Mr.. Webb first
on the November ballot.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, said Thursday he will
challenge the listing Of candi-
dates in Fairfax in the courts
unless such q challenge would
invalidate the outcome of the
race there.
mot satisfied with having this
advantage (being named first)
in three areas. namely Arling-
ton, Alexandria, and Falls
Church, Mr.. Broyhill apparently
feels that he is so weak that he
must have this added advantage
in Fairfax" Mr.. Webb COM
mented.
Mr.. Broyhill said he would
contest the listing to let the
courts determine for the future
how candidates should be listed.
In most Virginia elections the
name Of the incumbents is listed
first for each race.
Last night Mr.. Webb met with
his Arlington supporters for the
opening of his Arlington cam
paign headquarters at 1913 Fair
fax drive. Also participating in
the ceremony was Brian Bell,
Democratic candidate for the
Arlington County Board.

875-Acre Loudoun Dairy Farm
7oBe Developed by Mormons

Mormons in the Washington
area are introducing novel idea
to the East with the development
of huge, ultramodern dairy farm
on a fertile trace in Loudoun
County, Va.
Members of the Church Of the
Latter Day Saints not only
bought the 875-acre property at
Ashburn, they will operate it
themselves for their own people.
The field work has already be-
gun. In a few weeks, at least a
fourth of the rolling countryside
will be planted in small grains
the first step in a master plan to
develop the costly project.
Within a few years, perhaps,
the big farm will be operating at
peak performance, providing en-
ployment for members of the
church and channeling profits to
a Mormon welfare fund.
Activity for Young.
In addition, q part of the tract
will be developed for social and
recreation activities Of the
church, particularly for young
people. 1t is planned, for ex-
ample, to set aside one section
for a Boy Scout camp.
The project is being supervised
by church members who are ex-
perts in various fields, including
farm authorities on duty with the
Agriculture Department.
H. Alan Luke, who is in charge
Of the Federal milk marketing
orders for Southern States. said
yesterday the dairy farm will be
a highly-specialized operation
making use of the most efficient
equipment and modern tech
niques. All roughage and silage
for the cattle will be grown there.
Hope to Dam Stream.

the property will be razed but

Eventually. the church hopes to
dam q stream crossing the tract.
with a view to irrigating it and
supplying ponds needed by the
livestock.
For their ambitious project the
Mormons purchased property
owner by the estate Of the late
William E. Miller, the Washing
ton furniture merchant and har-
ness racing figure. The reported
price is $125,000-a sum consid-
erably less than had been asked
by the 75-year-old Mr.. Miller
shortly before he died while rae
ing at Harrington, DEL, last July.
The transaction was completed
through Rufus Waple, a Falls
Church real-estate dealer.
Horses Moved to Estate.
Mr.. Miller operated the Ash
burn farm jointly with Clar-
ence M. Hahner. He kept some
Of his 1875 trotters there but
these have been moved since his
death to the family estate, Rose
croft Stock Farm, at Oxon Hill,
Md.
AS Mormons do not believe in
relief for bodied men, the
church will provide opportunity
for its members to find gainful
work and, at the same time. &C
cmumulate profits from the dairy
for its welfare activities.
Next Saturday, the Church Of
the Latter Day Saints will hold
gala outing on the property
so members can become &C
quainted with the project. Its
top member in official Washing
ton. Agriculture Secretary Ben
son, probably will be unable to
attend because of the election
campaign. But at least 1000
