BOLIVIA'S INDIANS
ERE are some1 descendants of
Americas. They are Aymara Indians
of Bolivia whose forefathers were
part of the tremendously wealthy
empire ruled over by the Incas
which was at the height of its glory
when the Spaniards arrived.
Bolivia, a skytop republic without
a, seacoast approached by rail, or
air, from ports In Chile and Peru
on the route of thvweekly cruises
between New York and South
America's West Coast has a popu
lation more' than half Indian. Many
of the tribes, particularly in the
highlands,- live lu an amazingly
primitive style. They dwell in crude
homemade adobe huts practically
Without furniture, cook over open
flres, using for fuel the woody moss
growing on the rocks.
They raise, for food, barley, pota
toes, qulnoa and corn; and use.
llamas and sheep for meat as well
as for wool. Potatoes are made into
"chuno" by freezing and soaking:
qulnoa furnishes leaves to flavor
soups and seeds from which to make
flour fpr their hard bread; the corn
finds its way chiefly into chlcha, a
potent native drink. .
Another important crop is coca !
for centuries the Indians of Boilvla
have been chewing the cocalne-con-tainlng
leaves 'of the coca plant;
and the gorgeously embroidered '

for her care and milking. ,
But.a cow giving, J.0 quarts of , milk
daily will yield a net profit of $40 a
year. yTen such cows will produce a
dear profit of $400 a ,year. Cows
giving more, milk produce , an even
larger, return. .
-. The exact figure, of . course, will
vary with local conditions, the price
of milk,- and the cost of feed, Kuff
ner: added. ,
Many dairymen who did not make
money last year are thinking . of buy
ing high priced cows. In many in
stances they would do better to sell
their lowest producers and endeavor
to raise the efficiency of their better
animals.
Every dairyman should seek to de
velop a herd whose average produc
tion is at least 8,000 pounds of milk
a year, Euffner pointed out.- Top
quality cows frequently produce 9,500
pounds a year, or more.
Proper feeding and management of
the herd will do a great deal to stim
ulate milk production and keep it
at a high level, Ruf fner added. And
good feed, much of which can be pro
duced at home, need not cost more
than the wrong kind of feed.
Another important step in herd
improvement is the breeding of cows
to bulls which can transmit to their
daughters a capacity for heavy milk
production.
As these calves mature, they may
be kept in the herd while their some

Cotton Growers Get

The huge increase in the income of

Dean L O. Schaub at State College
In 1932, before the cotton adjust

lint and seed for a total of only $106,
997.88.
The 1933 crop sold for $213,332.37,
to which was added $24,795.52 in
