Bessie Filled
1851 Quart
Bottles In Years!

A recent news item told of a
Holstein dairy COW that produc-
ed 1900 pounds of milk and 48O
pounds of milk fat in one year.
Just what does this mean to
consumers of dairy products?
Dairy specialists at Virginia
Polytechnic Institute say that
this 1900 pounds of milk would
fill 1881 quart bottles. It would
take several milk delivery
trucks and several milkmen to
leave this much milk on t h e
doorsteps of the l,400 families
it would serve for one day.
The production of this on e
cow for the year would make
600 pounds of butter and 1900
pounds of cottage cheese. The
cottage cheese would fill more
than 5000 l2-ounce cartons.
What about desserts? TIL e
1900 pounds of milk would
make around two tons of ice
cream.

FARM PRICE
OUTLOOK

(This is the way prospects for
Vrgini Alarm prices looked to
the Virginia Department OF Agri-
culture on Friday. The Depart
ment offers it to farmers with
the warning that no one can
predict prices and be right all
the time.)
Feeder Pigs
Feeder pig growers will be in
a favorable position during the
next month as the outlook is for
continuing strong market.
Demand for feeder pigs is
good for three reasons: tp sup
ply is lower because of decreas-
ed farroWings during April and
May ~ a good supply of grain
feed is in prospect ~ hog mar
ket rrices are expected to be
somewhat lower than last wear
l
and hogs for market during the
fall should be on the minus side.
The feeder pig industry is a
growing one in Virginia as the
swine industry shows increased
indications of becoming spec
ialized.
Prices at recent feeder pig
sales in Virginia: No. /, 1880
lbs, $28.75 to $33 rs: No. 2. 1890
lbs. $3.50 to $32.75: No. /, 60
80 lbs, mostly $27 to $30.25; No.
2, 6O-9O lbs, mostly $26.25 to $50.
Feeder Calves, Yearlings
More than $4,000 calves and
yearlings will be sold at auction
in Virginia this fall, and indica-
tons are that prices will be
coed or better than last year.
The present price for feeder cat
tie is strong. Organized sales are

THE FARMvIILE (va.) HERALD FRIDAY, AUGUST 81 1863
Promising Hog
Market Ahead,
Specialist Says

A strong hog market is ex-
pected for the next few months,
and with a good corn crop in
sight, hog producers should gear
up to take advantage of the stu
alton, believes r. M. Godsey
swire specialist at Virginia Poly
technic Institute.
What are the more efficient
hog producers in southeast
Virginia and North Carolina do
ing to take advantage of tn e
situation? Godsey says they are
using good meat-type purebred
boars on their SOW herds, Sc
lecting replacement gifts from
their best producing sows, feed
ing balanced rations to all age
hogs.
They also are using Is per
cent protein rations for t h e +
breeding stock. an Is per cent
protein ration for pigs UP to
weaving, a l6 per cent protein
ration from weaving to Is pounds
a IA per cent protein ration from
rs pounds to $50 pounds. and a
IL per cent ration from $50
pounds to market weights.
Without exception, says God
sey, these top producers are
grinding and mixing their feed
and putting it in a automatic
feeder. They keep the feeding
area sanitary and free from a
build-up of parasites and dis
eases.
They top out their hogs at
200 to 220 pounds and find the
highest market before moving
hogs from the farm. They also
follow, religiously, a vaccina-
ton program. They use foot
bath with disinfectant to keep
individuals from bringing dis
ease onto the farm. When these
producers visit other farms or
markets they clean their foot
wear before re-entering t h e +
hog Set-upS.
Profit Picture
Hog producers in the old
Dominion have been happy with
the profit picture in the last
three years, says the specialist.
More permanent facilities have
been built in this period than
in any previous 1O-year period.
Several electric mills have been
installed, and more commercial
producers are conscious of the
true value of using a tOp-notch
boar on their sow herds.
About four million bushels of
cash corn are sold each year
in southeastern Virginia coun-
ties. says Godsey. He adds, II
personally feel that with the hog
know how that farmers in south
east Virginia have. stepped up
hog production certainly would
be a profitable endeavor for
many farmers.

Background

HORT HENRY, on the Tennessee
Il River, had fallen to Andrew Foote'S
Federal gunboats with surprising ease.
One of the little ships had ranged even
farther upstream, shooting up the
shores and spreading fear among the
Rebel citizenry as far as Muscle Shoals
in Alabama. Field Commander u S.
Grant, arriving at Fort Henry a few
. minutes too late to receive its sur
render, wasted no time planning some
thing more ambitious than river raids
Another Confederate stronghold lay
within easy marching distance: Fort
Donelson, on the Cumberland River,
IL miles east of Henry. Its capture
would turn the left end of the Con-
federate line stretching through and
east of Bowling Green, Ky. 1t also would
expose to disruption the Rebels vital
rail line from Bowling Green to Mem
phis and open the way to deeper Fed
eral penetration of the South.
Grants plan, approved by Henry
Halleck, his boss in st. Louis, was to

than Fort Henry, but he miscalculated

CUMBERLAND, Md, May
14.-Auto racing's Roger
Penske could be compared. in
boxing parlance, to q fighting
young champion who is gradu-
ally but surely running out of
challengers.
Named by at least two ma
tional publications as the out
standing American sports car
driver Of 1861, Penske already
has demonstrated this year that
he isn't ready to relax with his
silver cups at age IS.
Penske won his third straight
National championship race
here yesterday as his Cooper

little more than 35 minutes for
q record average speed Of rs

Hap Sharp Of Midland, Tex, in

third. trailing by more than a
lap, was the Porsche RS62 of
Bob Holbert, who won the race
for big modified cars here a
year ago.
Challengers Fade
It was Sharp's first visit to a
National race this season and
perhaps his last, because, he
explained, his home is too far
from most Of the courses and
he doesn't like several Of the
sites. Then, too, Holbert's
Porsche still isn't perking prop
erly. 50 that's another possible
challenger who has failed to
give Penske much opposition.
Also, Driver Walt Hansgen
and the formidable stable of
Briggs Cunningham cars didn't
appear here as entered. Hans
gen had a faster car than
Penske's at Danville two weeks
ago, but lost anyway, and pre-
sumably viii forego contesting
Rogers supremacy the balance
Of the year.
Poor Start Costly
Actually. Sharp provided

opposition he could tolerate,
but Hap got off to q poor start
and never closed within four

Penske was credited officially
with q lap record of lis but

"but Roger was in front and
didn't have to push it."
A crowd announced as So, ,942.
but estimated far under this

covering 35 minutes plus time
for the leader to reach the

fled race was one Of the closest.
