D. H. L A. Records
Aid In Judging
Herd Production
Successful dairymen are gener
ally those Who produce milk moot
efficiently. A study and compari
son of production costs, produc
tion rates and value of products
over oasts of any two enterprises
will show which enterprise is the
most efficiently operated. Dairy
Herd Improvement Association
testing gives each association mem
ber a Chance to make just such a
comparison both within his own
iierd and between it and other
herds and cows in the state and
riation.
Each association member is the
owner of a D. H. I. A. Herd Book
In Which the tester keeps a month
ly and yearly record of: 1. Produc
tion, 2. Value of product, 3. Feed
cost. 4. Value of product above or
below feed cost. This record is
kc-pt both for the herd as a whole
and for each individual cow for
her lifetime. On each cow's page,
in addition to the above informa
tion. the tester keeps the coiw's
name, registration or eartag num
ber, dalte of birth, name and regis
tration or eartag number of both
sire and dam and a complete
breeding and calving record. The
305 day, or first ten month, as
well as the total production for
each separate lactation is also
shown. The 305 day lactation
record is sent to tlhe Department
of Agriculture where a compari
son is made between it and the
record of the cow's mother. By
this dam and daughter comparison
daky bulls are proven.
Every D. H. I. A. member re
ceives his monthly copy of the
North Carolina Dairy Extension
News in which results of Official
and D. H. I. A. testing are given.
Registered cows on Official Test
making over 55 lbs. of fait in the
preceding month are listed, by
breed, under their owners name
with their records. The D. H. I.
A. section of this publication lists:
breed, herd sire, percent of cows
dry, average production of both
milk and fat, feed cost per. lb. of
fat, feed cost per. 100 pounds of
milk. Every herd in every asso
ciation is listed and averages for
each association are given.
Breed Associations, in their
publicstions, also give production
records of cows on Official Test
in every section of the nation. The
farmer on D. H. I. A. has at least
three places where comparison of
records will aid him in judging
the efficiency of his herd and dairy
operation.
The D. H. I. A. member need
go no further than Ms own Herd
Book to compare the production
and other records of his low pro
ducers with those of his Mgh pro
ducers. A glance will show Mm
how much more profit the cow
producing 8000 lbs. of milk has
made over the cow producing 5000
lbs of ttviJk. Ask yourself the
following questions about your
cows and herd. To Which cow
f: mily do your best or poorest
cows belong? Are your heifers
as good as their mothers? Is your
herd sire raising or lowering pro
duction. Can you afford to keep
the lower producers and the poor
herd sire? Did sickness or disease
hurt a low cows production? Do
your poor cows look like good
cows? Do some of your cows get
all of the hay and silage while
others have to Stay out in the lot?
Were your good cows grown out?
Were all of your poor ones stunt
ed when they were calves or heif
ers? Answering these and other
questions in the light of the infor
mation in your D. H. I. A. Herd

LONNIE SEABOLT, and wife,
GLADYS SEABOLT, et als,
Defendants.
By vljtue of authority vested in
me by judgment of the Superior
Court of Cherokee County, N. C.,
in the above entitled cause, I will,
on January 25. 1951, at 12:00
Noon at the Courthouse Door in
Murphy, North Carolina, offer for
'stle to the highest bidder for cash
the following described lands in
Cherokee County, North Carolina,
to wit:
FIRST TRACT neimg ue
NJE SEABOLT lands adjoining J.
A. Shields, Ben Helton, Claud
| Hayes, and Tom Curtis in District
No. 4 and part of Tracts Nos. 2671
'and 2191. BEGINNING on a
Hickory (fallen) and rock and runs
West 60 poles to a White Oak j
(fallen) and dogwood marked; |
thence South 30 poles to a post;
thence S 55 W to the top of the '
ridige; thence with the meanders'
of the ridge to a Hickory (fallen),
corner of No. 2191; thence with
the line of said number N 57 W 32
poles to a rock and chestnut stump
on a ridge; then with the meanders
of said ridge to a Spanish Oak in I
the line of No. 2671; thence South
70 poles to the beginning, con- J
fanning 130 acres.
SECOND TRACT: Being the'
Book should enable you to im
prove your whole dairy set up.
Poor rows or sires will be culled.
Replacements will come from your
best cows and sires. Faults of
feeding and management can also
be more clearly seen and remedi
ed.
Further comparisons of herd and I
cows can be made in both the I
Dairy Extension News and in ]
Breed Association publications.
Produobion records of oows of the
same breed will give an idea of
whalt you should get from your
cows. Production and feed cosit
figures from herds all over the
state will show what your herd is
doing in comparison with Other
herds. When another dairyman
with your breed of oows is shown
in the Extension news to have a
monthly herd average of 690 lbs.
of milk arid 38.4 lbs. of fat with
feed oast per lb. of fat $0.42 and
feed cost per 100 lbs. of milk
$2.35; while your herd average
is 360 lbs. of milk and 18.7 lbs.
of fait with a feed cost of $0 80 for
f?t and $3.00 for milk; what con
clusion will you be led to form
with regard to your whole dairy
operation? You will undoubtab
ly try to find Why this dairyman
and others throughout the state
are able to make cows produce
more milk and fat for less cost
than you have been able to do.
The chances are that you will find
ycur problem to be one of either
breeding, feeding or management;
and will take steps to better the
situation.
After you have solved many of
the initial problems of your dairy
operation through the use of bet
ter practices you will observe that
feed costs have been lowered and
that both production and net pro
I fit have risen. Very few dairy
I men. even after only one year's
'testing, fail to show improvement
i ir nearly every phase of dairying.
As you continue to test your cows,
year after year your pride in the
high producing herd and profit
able business you have built will
emphasize the store of valuable
' irformation contained in your D.
Ih. I. A. Herd Book.
