some stock available. Demand im
proved somewhat for cleaned jumbos

lj FARM FACTS $
WORTH >
ji§y§ KNOW,NG i
Q. Is it al right to use either of
twin bull calves for breeding pur
poses?
A. Yes. Either of these calves
should breed normally. It is only in
the heifer of a twin bull and heifer
1 combination that sterility normally
occurs. These heifer calves are
known as Freemartlns and are sterile
99 times out of 100.
Q. What do you think of cold
room brooding of chicks?
A. Many tests on cold-room brood
ing have been made which show cer
tain advantages resulting from this
system of brooding ohicks. In 1942-
43 experimental projects at the Re
search Farm of the Ralston Purina
Company indicated that cold-room
brooding would result in:
1. Better growth 0
2. Less cannibalism and feather
picking
These results were obtained when
the room temperature was below 70
degrees but the temperature under
the hover was 90 degrees the first
week and reduced five degrees each \
week down to 60 degrees.
Q. Which is more profitable
hand-feeding or self - feeding of
lambs?
A. Results recently reported by
the Colorado Experiment Station
showed that lambs self-fed for 84
days gained 39.7 lbs., a daily average
of .47 lbs., while those fed by hand
gained a total of 27.2 lbs., a daily
rate of .32 lbs. The self-fed lambs
consumed more grain and a much
larger proportion of grain to rough
age than the hand-fed lambs. The
total feed consumed for each 100 lbs.
gamed was lower in the self-fed lot,
and the feed cost per 100 lbs. of gain
was $4.20 lower.
Q. Should grain fed to dairy rows
be ground fine or coarse?
A. Coarse ground grain usually is j
more palatable than fine ground j
grain, so high producing cows stay
on feed better. For cows with poor
teeth, however, fine grinding may
be an aid to digestion.

Cotton Carry-Over
Aug. 1 Expected To [
Be 3,000,000 Bales!
Spot Prices Drop Last
Week After Steady
Advance
Spot cotton prices declined last:
Thursday after a week of steady ad
vances. Prices for Middling 15 16
inch in the ten spot markets averaged
•16.54 cents per pound on Friday. May
9, compared with 95.52 a week earlier
and 27,55 a year ago. Futures prices
also advanced during the week but
prices for the new crop months-—Oc
tober and December—were much
weaker than fur the near months.
Spot market activity was moderate.
Reported sales in the ten designated
markets totaled 77,400 bales for the
week against 70,500 last week and
65,200 a year ago. Mill buying de
creased with demand principally fo>
prompt shipment.
The total carry-over of cotton in
the United States on August 1, 1947.
is expected to be in the neighborhood
of ■3,000,000’ bales. This would be 60
per cent below the carry-over of 7.-
521,000 bates a year earlier and would
be the smallest carry-over since 1929.
Soil preparation and cotton planting 1
made mostly good progress this week.
A CORRECTION
In some way the name of Paul R.
Perry appeared in the list of delin
quent county taxpayers published in
The Herald last week. Mr. Perry’s
name was not suffposed to appear, so
that acknowledgement of the error is
gladly made.
