AGUE )AIRY FARM OF EIGHT
MILLION ACRES WITH A MIL.
LION OWS—INTERESTING
BASED ON
ECENT SURVEY
This week's issue of the Dairy-
men’s Lefague News carries a feature
article clontaining some interesting
statistic.’ about the eight million
acres off farm land owned by mem-
bers of the associavion. The sta-
tistics gre taken from a recent sur-
vey made throughout the member-
ship off the League.
The {| article pictures the total
acreagle of League farmers as a
single ( dairy farm of nearly nine
million acres, larger than the state
of Idaho or the states of Maine and
New Hampshire combined. Of this
over four and a half million acres
are under cultivation, on which

are raised crops with a total annual
value, including milk, of nearly
$217,000,000.
Over four million acres are in
pasture and woodland supporting
more than a million head of cattle,
worth $72,000,000,
The survey shows that the aver-
age League farm consists of 125.97
acres of which 66.6 acres are un-
der cultivation. 57.62 acres are in
pasture and woodland, 1.76 are in
orchards. The total sales of milk
from this League herd of a million
cows amounted to $75,000,000 this
last year. This includes, of course,
manufactured milk products as well
as fluid milk.
The striking feature of the sur-
vey is that it shows to what extent
the dairy farmer is also a diversi-
fied farmer. This is shown by the
fact that the value of the annual

$3,100.
Other interesting facts are that
League farmers own 45,000 silos;
5,000 have radio sets; 59,000 have
automobiles; 12,000 own motor
trucks and 32,000 use gasoline en-

(On With Laughter)
Funniest thing happened the
other day I can’t help but laugh
every time I think of it. I took an
old lady around town for an auto
ride. Every time we came to a
corner I held out my hand signaling
to other autoists. Finally she said:
“Say you make me nervous. Please
drive the car with both hands and
I'll tell you when it starts to rain.”
Here’s a dern good ad for H, S.
Newcomer & Son:
An owner of a fliver installed a
carburetor guaranteed to save 30
per cent on fuel. Then he put in
special spark plugs guaranteed to
save 30 per cent. Then he added
an intake super-heater guaranteed
to save 30 per cent. Next he added
a special rear axle for which another
30 per cent saving was promised.
And now with a fuel economy of
120 per cent, he has to stop every
hundred miles and bale fuel out of
the gas tank to keep the blamed
thing from running over!
Went up to the movies in the
hall here the other evening and I
want to give the ladies some good
sound advice. When you lay your
hat on an empty seat, please be
sure to take the pin out of it.
You just can’t see those things
in the dark and I have learned that
feeling is believing.
Furthermore, whenever you go to
movies always take the end seat in
a vacant row so that everybody
else can climb over your feet.
And above all other things for
goodness sake don’t eat onions or
garlic,
Paul Diffenderfer told me this
morning that last night he had Mon-
treal, Canada, on his radio. But
that’s nothing I spoke to another
fellow here who had Greece on his
vest.

Met a fellow Saturday night
who would rather blow his own horn
than listen to a band concert.
A fellow from the country took
the pendulum of a clock to Sam
Miller's jewelry store and wanted it
repaired. Sam said: “Why didn’t
you bring the whole clock?” The
fellow said: “The rest is all right.
When I took the pendulum out the
clock run like thunder.”
One of our teachers asked a class
the definition of an oyster. One
boy answered: ‘An oyster is a
fish built like a nut.”

A girl went to Brandt Bros.

OUS TO STEERS GOING
ON PASTURE
One of the principal problems
connected with the production of
beef in the Appalachian Mountain
region of which West Virginia is
the center, has been to determine
the best and most economical
| method of wintering the cattle and
the one that will enable them to
make the best possible use of the
pasture the following summer, when
{the cheapest grains are made. In
this region which takes in a part of
the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Georgia, the use of
grain for fattening cattle is not gen-
eral and by far the greater number
of farmers who handle beef cattle
grow either stockers or feeders or
fatten cattle for the market from
grass alone.
A common practice in this region
of good pastures has been to winter
steers on dry feed, such as hay,
corn stover and wheat straw, and
on corn silage to a less extent, in
such a way as to allow them to lose
materially in weight, depending on
the pasture in the following summer
to put on the finish for the market,
either as stockers and feeders, or
as grass fattened cattle. Some
feeders have held that it is profit-
able to permit this loss of weight
in wintering the cattle, which with
older steers usually varies from 256
to 100 pounds. Others believe that
cattle wintered on silage, or on a
ration of which silage is a part, will
not do well on grass the following
summer.
Accordingly United States
the
Department of Agriculture in co-
operation with the West Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station
conducted a series of experiments
on beef-production problems in this
region. One of the chief objects
was to determine the effect of dif-
ferene winter rations on subsequent
pasture gains. Three years’ results
with 2-year-old steers are now avail-
able.
From these results with six lots
of steers on different rations it is
concluded, on the whole,
steers which were fed to make the
larger winter gains also made larg-||
when | §

er total gains for the year
fattened on grass the
summer. The steers which were
allowed to make only slight gains,
or lose in weight, during the winter-
ing period, however, made greater
gains when put on pasture and had
a tendency to overtake
which had made the larger
gains. Consequently as the sum-
mer
vantages of winter gain gradually
became less but were not wholly
overcome.
Since differences in weight due to
winter feeding are gradually

during the summer

cattle to be marketed early should
gain considerably more weight dur- 3
ing the winter than if they are to
be marketed late.
There is so little difference, says;

made by the steers in the different
the department, between
lots at the end of the summer pas-
turing season that any conclusion
as to the best winter ration must
be based on the cost of the ration.
Succulent rations of silage alone, or
silage, cottonseed meal, and straw,
or silage and mixed hay, as used in
these experiments, are cheaper and
produce greater gains for the year
than a dry ration of mixed hay and
ear corn.

FARMERS SELL INFERIOR
STOCK TO BUY PUREBREDS
In connection with the “Better
Sires— Better Stock” campaign con-
ducted by the various States and
the United States Department of
Agriculture, many farmers are dis-
posing of inferior livestock and are
replacing them with better-bred
animals. The reasons for the
change are believed to be of inter-
est to livestock owners throughout
the country.
A Texas dairyman who had been
using a grade beef bull at the head
of his herd was readily induced to
obtain a purebred dairy bull, to
qualify in the better-sires campaign.
A West Virginia stockman e-
placed a grade ram with a pufe-
bred because the latter was a be
ter individual and he believed if
would help him to dispose of sur-
plus stolk.
A Vermont dairyman disposed of
an inferior purebred bull because he
