21,468 lbs. of milk and 1,046 lbs.
of butterfat a new high for
Junior two years olds- milked
three times daily on HIR test.
This new record represents a
production pace more than three
times that of the average U. S.
dairy cow.
It shaters a previous high set
only a year ago by Zimmerman
Bestar Royal Sheila a cow bred
and owned by Lewis A. Zimmer
man of Lehighton, Pa., with an of
ficial production of 24,258 lbs. of
milk and 992 lbs of butterfat.
In announcing Budd Farn Mis
tress Little Jo’s new record, Dr.
George R. Barrett of the National
Holstein organization noted that
the Michigan cow started her
testing period at the age of two
years, five months and averaged
learly 59 lbs of milk a day for
J 65 days.
The Budd Holstein hit her peak
in the fourth month of her lacta
uon when she averaged more
Jian 78 lbs. of milk a day. She
,vas still producing more than 38
lbs. a day when her record closed
eight months later.
Like many top-ranking produc
ers, the new National Leader is
equally outstanding in type. Dr.
JBarrett pomte'd out that she was
'classified “Very Good” the
highest rating attainable by two
year-olds scored in the Holstein
Association’s official type classi
fication program.
Granddaughter of two of the
most famous cows in recent Hol
stein history, Budd Farm Mis
tress Little'joe was literally bred
for high production
Her sire, Budd Farm Lauxmont
.Master 1125171 is a son of Enn-
I dale Lady Lauxmont late,
great member of the Budd herd
and one of 60 registered Holstems
with official lifetime production,
records of more than 200,000 lbs.
of milk.
During her long career, Erm
dale Lady Lauxmont completed
three official records of more
than 1,000 lbs of faf
Included among these was the
365 day production of 33,343 lbs
of milk and 1,362.6 lbs of fat at
1? years
Maternal grandam of the new
national champion is Enndale

Farm Electric Use Still Increasing; i
Most of Power Used in Home
J
Use of electricity both in farm
homes and in farming operations
is still increasing, the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture says.
Although about 95 per'cent of
U. S. farms are now electrified,
average consumption per farm
and total electric power consump
tion on farms continue to rise.
A report of a 10-year Federal-
State survey, recently released
by the Department, points out
that more than 400 different ap
plications of electricity on farms
and in farm homes have been
identified.
The > survey was made to esti
mate future use of electricity on
farms of different types and to
provide information useful to
farmers for example, on hoiw
electricity can be used to further
the goals of farmers and their
families. Some 10 different types
of farming areas in as many
States were studied.
Farm households in general re
quire mors electric power than
do actual farming operations.
Households, depending on the
region surveyed, used 58 to 87
per cent of the total electric pow
er consumed on farms, while
farming operations took only 3
to 30 per cent. An additional 5
to 26 per cent of the total was
required for lighting farm homes
and service buildings. *
Use of electricity in pumping
water on farms was rather small,
averaging on a national basis
about 20 kilowatt hours per
month. This is only about a fifth
of the power required for an elec
tric range and less than a tenth
of that used by an electric water
heater

homes use about 3,000 kilowatt
hours of electricity annually on
the average more than any
other type of farm electrical
equipment listed in the survey.
Estimated average annual kilo
watt-hour requirements for some
of the other appliances listed in
clude: washing machines, 35
kwh.; television and refrigerator,
360 each; sewing machine, 10;
milking machine (per cow) 27,
chick brooder (per 100 chicks)
75; grain elevator (per 1,000
bushels) 3; welder, 75.
In the country as a whole, by
mid-1955 only five of the 48 states
had less than 85 per cent of farms
electrified. New Jersey ranked
first with 99.1 per cent of farms
electrified and Nevada had the
lowest percentage, 72 0.
16 Santa Gertrudis
To Southern Rhodesia
Sixteen head of Santa Gertrudis
cattle four bulls and 12 heif
ers recently landed at Cape
town, South Africa, for shipment
to Southern Rhodesia, according
to the Foreign Agricultural Serv
ice.
These cattle, the first Santa
Gertrudis imported by Southern
Rhodesia, were raised on the King
Ranch in Texas and will be used
for crossing with native Africand
ers and Shorthorns.
It is believed that they will ma
ture faster than Indian Brahmans
and Africanders and will stand
the heat better than the British
Shorthorns. <• -
