FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION?Are there any dis
advantages to artificial breeding
of dairy cattle?
ANSWER ? There are none
which cannot be overcome by prop
erly operated breeding associa
tions, according to Extension dairy
specialists at State College. Don't
expect artificial breeding to settle
cows on which the bull has failed.
The program is not a cure for shy
breeders or cows with diseased
reproductive organs.
QUESTION ? Are all proved
bulls good sires?
ANSWER ? By no means. Rec
ords of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for many years show
that of the hundreds of bulls prov
ed in Dairy Herd Improvement
Associations less than 50 per cent
increase production in their daugh.
ters as compared with the daugh
ters' dams. Therefore, around
half of the bulls that have been
and are now still in general use
are lowering rather than increasing
milk production.
QUESTION ? What is a desir
able proved sire?
ANSWER ? A bull whose

Congratulations to the G. I. farm
trainees of the Sylva training cen
ter on buying over 40,000 straw
berry plants for setting this fall.
The plants are being ^bought in
Tennessee and a truck is going
after them in the next few days.
The variety will be Tennessee
Beauty. It is especially recom
mended by officials of the Skyland
Frozen Food Plant at Henderson
vilie.
The income per acre from straw- f
berries is high. This crop fits our'
small farms and they are espe- j
cially profitable where the home >
labor supply can be used at har- j
vesting time.
Let's all push strawberries in,
Jackson county afi^a cash crop. We
are sure of a steady market at j
Hendersonville when they cannot'
be marketed locally.
Lonnie M. Dills of Cullowhee
has had unusual success getting a ,
stand of pasture grass started. Last'
fall he cleaned off 3 acres of
ground. In February of this year
he applied 2400 pounds of super
phosphate and then sowed his seed
on the snow. As the snow melted
the seed was carried into the
ground.
Mr. Dills kept all livestock off
the grass until it was 6 inches high.
a
daughter's records, when com
pared with their dams, indicate he
can transmit a high level of pro
duction. Such bulls are very
scarce; only through artificial in
semination can their ability be
fully utilized. It is possible by
artificial breeding to get 1.000 or
more calves from one bull in a
year as compared with about 50
by natural breeding.
QUESTION ? How does the
conception rate in artificial breed
ing compare with natural service?
ANSWER ? Careful records
kept on a large number of cows
show it to be just as sure as the
bull. On an average it takes 1.5
