CORN SELLS HIGH
TO DAIRY COWS
_ _____ ,i
Knleigh, N, C. July 26 ? It is un
usual for a farmer to get $4.46 a 1
bushel for his oorn in North Ourolina >
but there is a way tp do it and Tom i
Morrow of Iredell County has learned t
fche method. Grind it into m?al and <
feed the meal along with otRr home
(frown grains to dairy ?Htfie. t
"It tiiken feood cows ok a. goad >
pasture to pay such retixx?i.s nut the )
xec<mls kept ?n Mr. Morrow's herd j
by the tester of the Iredell Cowtest- "
ing Association show this to be a ft
lVut," says John A. Arey, <T?(jJy ex- >
tension specialist at State <#otlege. >
v " An. individual record is kept, of ov- 1
i vy cow in Mi-. Morrow's herd. Dur- i
ing May, the eleven cows composing <
thi- herd, produced 311.3 pourfds of (
Lv.lw.Tfat which sold for 42 cents a j
pound and brought in $130.7S. 'Uxe j
sUunniilk left on the farm after nie (
cream was sold had a fieed value ot ! |
$29.57, making the total income 1
anvbunt to $160.32."
. Mr. Arey states that these 11 ?ows|,
were fed- 2, 269 pounds of a home-lj
grown grain mixture made by mixing!,
together 200 pounds of corn meal, ,
100 pounds of cottonseed meal and '
100 pounds of crushed oats; which
?was valued at $46 a ton or $52.19
for the amount fed. The animals al
so consumed oat straw valued at
$6.80 and were grazed on a gras3 |
and clover pasture for wljich a charge j
'of $2 per head was made. The total :
feed bill was thus $80.99, leaving a '
not income of $79.33.
On this basis, states Mr. Arey, the
> cows paid $9.21; each for their pas- '
ture. The cows consumed 23.6 bu
shels of corn in the form of meal and
allowing all chargcs for the .feed- 1
stuffs, the animals paid .$4,46 a bu
shel -fox; corn. . This does not take
into account, the manure/left on the
place.
Therefore, states Mr. Arey, the
man who has cows above the average,
a 'good pasture and will grow his
? grain and hay mixtures at home can
f make money , selling cream. The j
dairy cow, in his opinion, is one of
the very best markets for the sur
plus feedstuffs produced on the avex-- .
age farm.
MY TOWN
(By Loqkwood POrcher)
Won't you come live in my town |
Said the (R. E.) agent to the man j
'Tis the prettiest little town
, That ever you did scan
' The way into my town -.
Is up a winding road
Ai\d there are .'many good reasons |
You should make it your abode.' \
? Oh, no, no, said the careful man I
To ask me is in vain
1 may not be much to look at
But I hope that I anx saxxe.
1 have thought the matter over
'?'he taxes. are too high
To get them -down and lower
O.i'r.iu.'it the harder try.
1 sure do want to please you
Saul the ?gent to the man

When it comes to selling land. ;
There are wonderous views . on every I

The roads are hard and fine.
The people are the very best
They arc. so good and kind.
"No, no, said the careful man
I cannot come just now,
I have my children to educate."
He said with thoughtful bow.
So I must live where they can get
The host that can be had
A school that runs for nine months
Fo,- I am a careful' Dad.
The world exists for the education

juality of bUu>d.
"We condefcted two interesting
oetfi in 1927 which prove {he pre
vailing; opinion, that pigs of go*d
jreeding, placed in the prorper en
/fronment and fed a good ration will
iroduce more satisfactory results
ban pigs of mondesqript breading,"
ioy? Kail Hostptler, in charge of
iwine investigations at State Col
ege. "We usetf 129 pig.s in the
asts. Sixty-nine were brought in
?as torn Carolina and while they were
:hrifty and in good condition, gave
?o evidence (If any particular biajod

xr high trade Roland Chinij animals

Wenona."
As to results, Mr, Hostetler states
:hat the .69 pit** of poor breeding liad
?n initial weight of 92. 3 pounds at
;hc beginning of the feeding period
ind came out weighing an average of
214. 5. The average daily (gain w?s
1,1 pound and it required 479.5
pounds of feed to produce 100
pounds of grain.
But the good pigs of high class
breeding weighed an average of 103.4
pounds at the . beginning of the test
and came, out weighing 240.5 aver
age daily gain of 2.4 pounds and re
quired only 371.89 pounds of the
same feed to prdduce a 100 pounds
of gain.
Each group of animals received
shelied corn, fish meal: and minerals
from self-feeders and were compar
able as to rations and environment.
Therefore, it is obvious, states Mr.
Hostetler; that good breeding had
something to do with the increased
gains made by the more, profitable
group. The ability to produce rapid
and economical gains from feed con
sumed is certainly transmitted from
parent to offspring in the same man
ner as is color, form and size, lie
states.
