March 13,1976 The incredible milk making machine Dairy cows do much more than produce wholesome milk and nutritious meat Being female, these in credible milk making machines tidy up nature’s house and make do with leftovers. They graze where plows cannot go and tran sform inedible food byproducts unfit for human consumption into nourishing and necessary milk. And cows are naturalists, too. They irrigate and fer tilize wherever necessary for future grazing lands and leave enough weed and grass stems for sheep and goats to enjoy. They juggle nature’s imbalance and tolerate man's shortsightedness. Every year dairy cows munch a mountain of some 13 million tons of byproducts. Because of microorganisms living in their rumen, cows have the unique ability to transform these worthless materials into nutrients that can be used to produce milk. Something more from something less is a refreshing change in this era of decreasing expectation. Cows graze placidly while man frets about decreasing oil supplies and sometimes overlooks his four-footed natural resource. Animal agriculture is being challenged today as a luxury our modern society can no longer afford. Some contend that grain produced on an acre of land should be fed directly to humans and not be converted into animal products. Others suggest eating less meat in this Father-Son Part nership Life In surance Both Insured for $50,000.00 Dad ■ Age 60 Son - Age 37 Premium for Bolh $2,758.00 CALL; RAY D. BAIR, CLU 202 Butler Avenue Lancaster, PA 17601 397-4258 country would solve world hunger elsewhere. That simply is not true. Feed for dairy cows consists mainly of rough, fibrous materials un suitable for man, or coarse feed grains man doesn’t eat in large amounts. In ad dition, cows forage on lands that would provide little or nothing to human food requirements. In fact, taking cows out of the food producing business, would actually decrease the food available for human con sumption. The dairy cow is the most efficient farm animal in converting forage and grain into food. Future agricultural planning should concentrate on crop and animal production that will provide the greatest yield for the lowest cost. It is estimated that cows can be mainatined on a ration of 80- 100 percent non-grain feeds. Every year about 350,000 acres of farm land on the fringes of America’s suburbs are taken out of crops and turned into condominiums and high-rises. The lost acreage is quality farm land with rich topsoil. And even though the U.S. has 470 million acres of cropland, man should be ever more thankful for the cow. Yes, be thankful for that gentle creature, the cow, that walking garbage collector who does her bit to make our lives better. For only she and her ruminant club members can eat forage and contentedly chew cuds to make milk that’s necessary for the nation’s diet. Women’s Rights The first convention of women advocating woman sufferage was the National Women’s Rights Convention held in Worcester, Mass , Oct 23-24, 1850 The purpose of the convention was to “consider the question of women’s rights, duties and relations ” 51
