MOST MILK PER ACRE
ON FARM FEEDS ALONE
By Wilber J. Fraser, University of
Illinois.
To determine the maximum amount
of milk and butterfat per acre, that
can be economically produced when
all of the feed for the stock is raised
upon the land, a part of the univer
sity dairy farm was set aside and
the demonstration continued for six
years. Only 20 acres were available
for this purpose.
The conditions that led to the start
ing of this work were the tremendous
waste of human energy on our dairy
farms caused by inefficient dairy
herds uneconomically fed and im
properly cared for, and crops raised
that were not suited to produce the
maximum amount of proper dairy
feed per acre. This was 14 years ago.
Since that time Illinois dairying has
progressed a great deal. Silos have
multiplied, clover and alfalfa are
more commonly grown; and, most
striking of all, the cows now gener
ally kept are of higher quality and
/roduction. Yet a large share of the
same problem remains—how to pro
duce the most milk and fat per acre
in the most practical and economi
cal manner.
The fact Is that dairying has pro
gressed just to the point where the
two big factors, growing the most
good dairy feed per acre and th.e most
economical feeding, can be applied in
general practice. This milk per acre
demonstration carried on for six
years at the university sheds th.e
strongest light on this problem, and
good practice on many farms has
gone far enough to confirm It.
Through years of cow testing, dairy
teaching, and discussion, multiplied
demonstrations at the colleges and
better practices on many farms, w.e
have come to a fair understanding
that good cows and balanced rations
are fundamentally necessary. That
much is .generally acknowledged and,
however much we come short of ap
plying It, that is the goal toward
which, dairy practice Is steadily tend
ing. Now we have to complete the
economic circle by producing the
best kind of feed instead of buying
It, and getting the most of it per acre.
On dairy farms where the cows con
sume th.e crops, the milk check con
tains a certain portion of the profits
from crops as well as from the cows.
The increased pay for the dairy
man’s labor will depend upon his ef
ficiency in the production of well
chosen crops on every tillable acre of
th.e farm each year, and the proper
feeding of these to efficient cows that
are well cared for. He can and
should raise ' practically all of the
feed on the farm, and the kind of
crops that bears directly upon the
maximum amount of milk and but
terfat that can b.e most economically
and permanently obtained from an
acre of land. When he sees the plain
possibilities of this production he will
have little need for commercial feeds.
3,888 Pounds Milk Per Acre.
The cows averaged, including the
time dry, 7,470 pounds of milk and 262
pounds of fat per cow per year large
ly on corn silage and alfalfa hay, and
without a dollar’s worth of feed from
outside the farm. This production
was obtained under economical farm
conditions. The remarkable results
of this test are that a grade herd
produced 3,888 pounds of milk and
136 pounds of fat per acre per year
for six years from feeds grown solely
on this area. This is almost three
times the amount of milk p.er acre
that was produced on strictly dairy
farms In Illinois and, therefore, chal
lenges the attention of practical
dairymen.
The details of all. this experience
for six years; how the crops were
chosen and handled; how the cows
were fed, housed, and cared for; and
their condition and production
through all the stages and vicissi
tudes of this period, are necessary to
a full understanding of how far and
how well these methods solve the
problem in actual farm practice.
Each feature of the farm work re
quires a story to set forth its facts
and meaning. This article can give
only a birdseye view of the test and
the results and Indicate what a sub
stantial advance and economic saving
they bring to practical dairy farm
ing.
Corn and Alfalfa Yield Three Times
Other Crops in Feed.
The crops raised were largely corn
and alfalfa on about equal areas be
cause these produce from two to four
times as much digestible nutrients or
feed value per acre as other common
farm crops. This tremendous, almost
unbelievable, fact Is but partially un
derstood even yet, as shown by the
fact that less than 6 per cent, of the
tillable area of the United States Is
in clover gnd alfalfa and also by the
buying of great quantities of high
priced protein feeds that could just
as well b.e grown on the farm. Hence''
the details of how ' these crops were
grown and fed will be given, the
yields, amount of digestible nutrients,
and how the practical difficulties were
met. Six consecutive years of such
crops under all the varying condi
tions, with the total and average
amount of feed, and the final goal—
the amount of milk actually produced
from It—will tell the story of larger
production from a given amount of
land and labor. .
Good grade cows were used. .They
were permitted to run loose In a
round barn, being allowed plenty of
fresh air, and the freedom of a yard
in suitable weather. The only feed,
given the cows was that raised on
this area. Corn silage and alfalfa
were fed In whatever amounts the
cows would consume. Corn meal was
added to the ration when needed and
available from this land.

in the whole six years was kept and
is available. The production of th®
cows was quite remarkable when it
is considered that so little grain was
fed. The records show the great val

the principal ration for all dairy cows,
and it also shows that milk can ba
very profitably produced on these
feeds without grain of any kind, ex

HOW THE CO-OPERATIVE MOVE
MENT WILL BENEFIT THE
FARMER.
The fallowing article written by
Otto H. Kahn appeared'in the Novem
ber issue of the Bankers’ Monthly.
We have taken occasion to comment
editorially upon this article for it
comes from a prominent man of New
York. Mr. Kahn states:
“I have given careful consideration
to the rural co-operative marketing
movement. I have met some of its
leaders and have discussed with them
what is being done and what is the
aim in view, and I have satisfied my
self as to the economic effects of Its
realization.
Much Misunderstanding.
“Generally speaking and without
conspicuous exceptions—and foremost,
among them my friend, Bernard
Baruch, who is entitled to high credit
for the active, .intelligent, and un
selfish interest which he has taken in
the cause of the farmers—the finan
cial and commercial community, es
pecially in the east, is rather lack
ing in information about the farm
ers’ problems and the details of and
the ground for the measures advo
cated by their spokesmen. And front
lack of information springs lack of
understanding and of sympathetic
consideration, and thence springs
misconception and opposition. It
must be said, I think, that very much
the same is true of the attitude of the
farmers toward the financial com
munity, and especially toward Wall
street.
Mutual Helpfulness.
“I think it is th.e duty of every
man, to the extent of his ability, to
aid in the avoidance of these recip
rocal misconceptions and the result
ing mutually harmful friction. Let
us then shun class animosity and
sectional or vocational prejudice, let
us approach one another with good
will and in good temper, let us seek
to understand one another’s view
point and whys and wherefores, and
aim to help one another in the solu
tion of our problems.
“It is in this spirit that I believe,
with all due modesty and without
assuming to speak for anybody but
myself, that it may be of some slight
service for a Wall street man to give
public expression to his support of a
farmers’ movement which has met
with some antagonism among non
agricultural elements, i. e., the pro
gram for rural co-operative market
ing.
Legitimate Movement.
. “I consider that the results which
the farmers are seeking to attain by
the organization and operation of the
business institutions known as co
operative marketing associations, are
results that should be attained. Their 1
objects are legitimate objects. Their
methods of building up these insti
tutions are legitimate business meth
ods. The basis of their operations is
economically and financially sound.
\ am informed that it is likewise leg
ally sound under existing laws, and
I am quite sure that it ought to be.
While I believe in competition and
am opposed to monopoly or.monopo
listic tendencies and practices, I atn
inclined to think that we have gone
too far, notably In the Dayton act
passed in 1914, in attempting to en
force competition under all circum
stances and to prevent natural and
legitimate co-operation, or, at least,
have gone at the thing in a clumsy
way, leading to results sometimes un
fair to business and detrimental to
the community. It is notable and
significant that not a single one
among the other leading nations of
the world have followed our example
In respect to that policy. But, what
ever one's view on the general sub
ject. It seems manifest that millions
of Individual farmers should not be
compelled to act as millions of indi
vidual sellers in the disposal of their
products, especially In view of the
fact ,that, owing to their principal
dependence upon the forces of nature,
the farmers are not in a position to
regulate the supply In accordance
with the demand, as Is the case more
or less, in most other Industries.
“Any movement that alms to cre
ate, by sound business methods, a
better distributing system, and
thereby bring about a better financial
and economic condition of the farm
ers, who, with their .families and those
engaged In ministering to the wants
of rural communities, comprise about
half the population, should naturally
prove of benefit to the entire popu
lation. Its effects should be seen in
larger and better adjusted buying
power for the agricultural half of the
community. This necessarily will
translate itself Into an enhanced de
mand /or the products and the serv
ices of the other half.

Why Farmers are Turning to

y&r Economical Transportation
*
In 1922 Chevrolet jumped from seventh to second
place in sales of all cars, and to first place in sales
of fully equipped modem cars.
Purchases by farmers were the chief factor in this
remarkable development.
Farmers want automobiles not only of low first
price, but also of low later cost for operation and
maintenance.
They want mom, comfort, and the ability to stand
up under hard conditions.
They find that Chevrolet, fully equipped as sold, is
the best value per dollar in the low-priced field, and
neighbors tell them it costs less per mile to operate*
