From Our Schools
Come New Leaders
Agriculture looks forward with confi
dence to tomorrow because its youth is
being trained properly today.
Our United States public school sys
tem has taught scientific agriculture to
millions of boys and girls in the vocational
agriculture courses of nearly 10,000 rural high
schools. Here students learn the improvement
and proper use of the soil which is our basic
wealth; how to produce ton litters of pork in
less than six months; the care and repair of
farm machinery; and many other vital things.
Such studies create an interest in research
and this is important—for scientific research
is vital in agriculture and other industries.
Science has been back of the developmenbof
modern farm machinery; of cows that produce
15,000 pounds of
milk; hybrid
corn; breeds of
beef cattle, hogs
and sheep capa
ble of converting
feed into meat
and fiber economically and speedily. Research
in the science of agriculture is a major national
resource which has contributed largely to the
high standard of American living.
MEAT BUYING CUSTOMS l:
Bostonians like beef from heavy steers, St.
Louisans prefer beef from light ones. It is
of interest to livestock producers and meat
packers that taste, money-to-spend, sea
sons, beliefs and habits all affect meat buy
ing customs in different parts of the United
States. Our new 16 mm. moving picture
sound film, animated and in color, "MEAT
BUYING CUSTOMS," explains these dif
ferences. Interesting for lodge, grange,
school or church shows, and farm and live
stock meetings. You pay only transporta
tion one way. Write to Department 128,

THE EDITOR’S COLUMN
Several times in this space, I have in
vited producers of agricultural products
to come and see us. As a result of this,
we have had quite a number of visitors.
Conversations with these visitors have
been very interesting and helpful to me
and have brought out many of the ideas which pro
ducers have regarding the livestock and meat industry.
Some recent conversations indicated that quite a
number of producers think that there are less than a
hundred meat packers in the United States, in fact
some thought there were as few as ten. This idea seems
to come from the fact that many of them ship their
livestock to only one market and are familiar only
with the number of meat packing plants at that
market. I am sure that it will interest all of you to
know that there are more than 3,500 meat packers in
the United States. In addition, there are upwards of
22,500 other commercial slaughterers.
The only way those 26,000 companies and people
can make money in their business is to sell meat. And
to sell meat they must buy livestock. So all over the
country—from Portland, Oregon, to Portland, Maine,
from the Rio Grande to the Canadian border—these
competing livestock buyers are bidding against each
other for the essential material of their businesses—the
cattle, calves, hogs, and sheep produced by American
farmers and ranchers. The buyers who get that
livestock are the ones who —
bid the highest prices in
their particular areas.

PROVIDE PLENTY OF WATER
FOR DAIRY COWS
By D. I. THIOPHILUS
Head, Department ef Dairy Husbandry
University of Idaho, College ef Agrltuhure
Water is practically always inex
pensive and abundant, as com- ‘
pared to feed and labor, but
nevertheless it is absolutely es
sential for profitable dairying
The amount of water that a dairy cow will
drink depends largely upon the size of the cow,
the amount of milk produced, the type of feed
consumed, and the atmospheric temperature.
Milking cows need 4.0 to 5.5 pounds of water
for each pound of milk produced.
Whether dairy cows are on pasture or in the
barn, or are dry or milking, free access to clean
water at all times produces the best results.
Free access to water, in general, increases milk
production over that secured when cows are
watered either twice or once daily.
During the winter, or severe weather, milk
ing cows should be watered indoors or under
shelter where there is a comfortable atmos
phere. If it is necessary for cows to drink from
an outdoor tank, it is advisable to warm the
water during very cold weather so that they
will drink sufficient for their needs.
FEEDING EARLY-LAMBING EWES
To develop good milk-producing ewes, and
therefore good early lambs, winter feeding is
important. Feed them plenty of top-quality
legume hay and just enough grain to keep them
in good condition, gaining a little weight. And
don’t forget exercise. It makes lambing easier
and helps save a higher percentage of lambs.
Soda Bill Sez:
... that a man who is prejudiced is
usually merely misinformed.
... that it’s smart to live as though
you expected to die tomorrow—and
to farm as though you expected to
live forever.
