Mr. Ghck is making plans to
repjace the barn, and hopes to
have the new structure up by
June.
Boards were neatly sorted
and stacked along fences, ma
chinery lined up for repair, and
tobacco ricked up alongside the
stone foundation. Frames of
some farm equipment were
damaged when buried under the
debris.
Neighbors brought in six trac
tors and wagons, another a man
ure loader and another a large
truck to help speed up the job,
which was completed in record
time.
S Calves
This cow from the dairy herd of the Ralston Purina Re
search Farm, Gray Summit, Mo., has had eight calves,
all heifers. Each breeding ,was by artificial insemination.
Her latest heifer calf, pictured above with the cow, weighed
99 lbs at birth. The cow, a grade Holstein raised on the
farm, is one of the better producers in the herd. Several of
her offspring are taking their places in the milking string
and making good production records themselves. Leonard
Gildehaus, Purina dairy herdsman, poses with the bovine
“mother and daughter of the year.”
