The first live calf ver known to have been, born in America from frozen semen was "dropped" on the farm of John and Melford Hill of -Route 1, Janesville, Wis. Fri day morning. May 29, 1953, accord ing to a report released this morn ing by . the Wisconsin Scientific Breeding Institute, an- American Breeders Service, in Madison, Wis. JS. O. Conrad, manager of the Institute, reported that a number of artificial breeding organizations are experimenting with the use of frozen semen in artificial insemi nation, but to date, as far as is known, this calf is the first in America that has resulted from the frozen semen process. Conrad pointed out that the Brit ish were the first to conduct ex periments in successfully freezing and thawing semen. . They have been successful in keeping semen frozen and of good quality, for as long as one year. A number of calves have been born in England. The Wisconsin Scientific Breed ing institute,' a non-profit organ ization, in cooperation with the American Foundation For - The Study of Genetics, a publicly-endowed, research center at Madison, repeated the experiments of the British scientists and have bred over 2J300 cows -with frozen semen, some stored as long as four months. 1 -This marvelous discovery can very well make it possible for a tingle proved bull to have possibly as many, as 100,000 offspring through, artificial breeding. While now three put of every four cubic centimeters of unfrozen semen is wasted, with . frozen semen, every ec could be used. There will he fewer bulls In the stud, but better buns producing many more off spring. : This discovery' will make potijble a ,t wj dibution of tne influences or, : great .proved sires. It will be " possible for the average farmer .almost anywhere in the country to have the mating of his cows to the best breeding Duplin Square Dancers To Chapel Hill Saturday The Duplin Sauare Dancers. headed by Faison and Susie Smith, will appear in the Carolina Folk Festival In Chapel ' Hill Saturday night.

Black shank Is causing some-damage to tobacco, especially In the Coastal Plain area, accord ing to the Federal-State Crop Re porting Service. However, the average condition of tobacco in the Eastern and Bor der belts is generally good. - This was based on a crop report for the week ending May SO, the agency reported yesterday. Transplanting in the Eastern and Border belts is almost 'complete and cultivation is progressing well." ,.,; .. ,,. ... - In the Piedmont or Type 11 belt the condition of the tobacco crop are reports ' indicating poor. About three-fourths of the crop has been set in this area. : The report stated that weather conditions last week were hot and dry over the entire state. Rainfall ranged from 'none to very light in most areas. Small grains were re ported in good condition, with har vesting operations getting under way in most areas. ''.'-. $ 1 bulls in the' world at probably nq more' than the regular charge now being made. Semen banks will be the answer! Commercial breeding organizations will build up banks of semen; from their sires during the slack breeding season, thus ob taining the most economic use of the bull.: These semen banks will make it possible for dairymen to have service from a bull long after he has died. In natural service it is considered good if a bull has a few hundred offspring. Artificial breeding has boosted that figure into the thousands, and now with frozen semen, it could very well be into the hundreds of thousands. . Although frozen semen in the popular sense may seem a simple process, 1 a tremendous amount of research : and study is still being actively pursued by the research ers at both the Wisconsin Scientific Breeding Institute and the Ameri can Foundation For The Study of Genetics.; ; ' Semen to be alive and of good quality must of necessity be frozen carefully through the low tempera ture range or 40 degrees F. to 110 degrees F. (temperature of dry ice) and there Jield until used. The British scientist discovered that this could only be done by using glycerol as a buffer with semen. properly cooled. The action of gly cerol in tne solution prevents in jury to the sperm during the freez ing -and thawing. The Wisconsin Scientific Breed ing Institute is managed by the American Breeders Service of Chi cago, the world's largest privately owned artificial breeding organiza tion. .
