INDIANA DAIRYMEN KEEP FARM RECORDS By G. A. Williams Owners of the larger dairy herds in Indiana are placing more confidence in records as a means of herd improvement than are dairymen in many other states, according to the word received from the Bureau of Dairy Industry, Washington, D. C. Indiana has 7,225 herds containing 11 or more cows. Os these, 593 are on test in Dairy Herd Improvement Associations. Only five other states have a higher percentage of similar herds on test and of these states only*bne, Pennsylvania, has more than 4,000 herds of this size. Although this is a commendable record, more Hoosier dairymen should avail themselves of the assistance that can be secured from the cow-tester. At the present time, one pound of butterfat will purchase only 18 pounds of feed grains. This is the smallest amount for this period of any year ifince 1920.

someone will tell me where I can get more for what I am already producing I will be interacted.” Good s markets are of vital importance to profitable dairying. Unfortunately, f however, some dairymen keep low producing cows that no market can pay a sufficiently high price to just- ’ ify milking them. Those who devote time and effort to the' marketing end ' of the program and ignore the cost ’ of production are doomed to disappointment. Milk produced by cows averaging one gallon daily must be f placed on a market which pays six j times as high a price as milk produced by cows yeiiding 4 gallons " daily in order to return an equal net income. No marketing agency can be expected to compensate for ! this inefficiency. The dairyman 1 owes it to himself and the industry to rid the herd of such loafers before he demands a higher price for his product. Without records it is impossible to determine the produc- ' ’ ing ability of the herd and the cost jof producing a can of milk. i The ’line required to milk a cow s twice daily 300 days each year can- " not be overlooked. Some cows are milked more quickly than others but it is safe to say in the average hand milked herd not less than 50 hours of labor is spent annually in 1 milking each cow in the herd. After (deducting the feed coat, a cew pro- ' ducing four thousand pounds of milk pays a very low hourly wage t<> the milker. Dairymen owning herds too small to justify the cost of belonging to a Dairy Herd Improvement Association should keep private records. It does not take much time to weigh the milk each cow produces one day each month. This is the most profibtable use that can be made of time around the dairy barn. When the day's production is multiplied by the number of days in the month and the totals for the year determined, it has been found that the record varies little from the actual production determined by daily weights. Jerseys and Guernseys should pro- | duce at least 6,000 pounds of milk | and Holsteins and Ayrshires, 7,500 • pounds in 12 months to return a pro- ; fit. Heifers with first calves should 1 produce about 70 per cent as much las older cows. Present conditions demand profitable cows. The only way to locate the loafer is through the use of the milk scales.

- WORKMEN LAID OFF ‘ IN HOG SCARCITY r 1 . CHICAGO—With receipts of hogs , last week setting a new alltime low I record, officials of the Union Stock t Yards and Transit company have • ordered the closing of half the 1 hog pens at the stock yards as an t economy measure. . | Commission men, through the Chit cago Live Stock exchange, immedi--1 atley made strenuous protests to O. T. Hankle, general manager of the stock yards, arguing that the closing 1 of half the facilities for handling ’ hogs would increase their operating expenses. A conference was arranged for Monday to thresh out their 1 differences. Employment already at an ex- ■ tremely low mark, is not expected to be affected by the economy move. ’ Only about 200 hog handlers are nowemployed by the stock yards com--1 pany, compared with 860 a year ago i and a normal average of between 700 and 800. • | Shortage Laid To AAA i I The extreme stortage of hogs, - which has curtailed operations and I employment in the packing and , live stock industry and caused prices of pork and lard to skyrocket to , levels at which consumers refuse to Hbuy, is attributed largely to Secrei tary Wallace’s AAA hog destruction ! |campaign two years ago which rei suited in the removal of six million i | sows and small pigs. ' | Lack of hogs has reduced jobs 4 not only in the stockyards but in « packing plants. • Walter Hegeman, organizer for the Amalgamated Meat and Butchers Workmen of North America, said yesterday that only about 1,050 of the 3,500 hog I killers and butchers who are normally employed in Chicago packing plants now have jobs. Under an agreement, with the workers the plants guarantee these men at i least 32 hours of employment per week. Due to the shortage of hog supplies, however, Hegemen said that the workers would shortly agree to reducing this minimum to 25 or 30 hours in order to prevent addii tional layoffs. Most of these employes have families. Packers Tell of Fewer Jobs. Packing company officials yester- ' day verified the accuracy of Hegeman's figures. A representative on one of the “Big Four” said that his company’s Chicago plant was employing only 5,500 employes, excluding office help, compared with 7,000 a year ago and 6,200 two years ago. Other big packing companies reported that employment throughout the industry in Chicago is about 25 to 30 per cent below the average for the last five years. For the naj tion as a whole packing plant employment is about 40 per cent below the five-year average. 4> A beauty specialist authority says i that blondes are becoming extinct. Oh yes?

Money The government of the United States has never Issued any paper money which proved worthless. The Continental currency issued during the Revolution fell very low. but ultimately was redeemed. Also. In 1865. the greenbacks fell to 35 cents to the dollar, but returned to par. Weight of Salmon Some kinds of salmon of the Pacific coast run to weights of 70 or even almost 100 pounds. The average Is not more than 25 pounds for the quinnat salmon. Other kinds are smaller. The average for the salmon of the Atlantic Is perhaps 15 pounds. •
