McKelvey, Mynard, Gives Interesting Account of Tour to Yellowstone Paik. The following letter depicts a won C -rful trip through the Yellowstone ;.:k by II. A. McKelvey, pastor of . he Mynard C. B. church, formerly i : Ycrk. Nt-b. Mr. McKelvey has' written his de-i-c: intion of the trip in two sections, vut- i-ectiou of which he has mailed us this week's issue. On the eleventh of July, we turned he !!Q:V ci our "Tin Lizzie" toward ;:.e f?t. We went to Grand Island, just fifty miles west of Yorlc, Neb., .litre we came to that famous high way known as the Lincoln. We fcl i wed it to Cheyenne. Wyoming. Tl.ert war- not very much of interest :! th. v. ay. txcept the weather, and :hat w;is sure hot. When we came ; . Ogallula. where it was one hun and fittcen in the shade, and up r: -. re in the western part of the state !':.rt is no shade. The dust and Land ::uide it difficult to drive, as there -.as a very strong hot wind blowing. V.'e wt re just two dcys driving to Cheyenne. We stayed there two days as the Hound Up was on and we '.anted to str seme of the faiuy rid ii.g ai.d roping, as they have the best o:" them there. They tell me that cne y uiig fellow roped his ile;r cud tied i lia in twenty-six seconds. That is ;;;:re working fast. Then we waiucd w see Ft. Russell. We went ou.. thc:e and rpent a half a day .aic:U;. thcta ar target practice with three machine guns. They had the gusn arranged in groups cf five and each squad v.ouid take thir turn, at targ?ts six thousand yards. It was surprising Lew short a time it took for the shell tr. reach the target. The men cent b:.ck the score by phone, then the urTicer would announce the score. It : are was interesting. After spending two days mere we :.gain sent our "Tin Lizzie" in a northwestern direction across the state of Wyoming. Now we began to Unci that the country was not very thickly settled, as we traveled fcrty r've miles betcre we came to another town, and it was very small. Had ; bout one hundred inhabitants. 1 think by the name of it. that it might he a pretty good sized town, and I wondered where they got such a name for their town. Chug Water. Then we came to aonther town that was just sixty-five miles from there, Wheatland. It was a town of about the size of Unionville. From there v. e had to make "Lizzie" do good work for it was just one hundred and thfrty-five miles from there to Cas per. Then we had the surprise of cur life. After we got our tent up, and supper over, we wanted to get acquainted with our neighbors. We :aw several Penna. tags, and natur ally we wanted to know what part ( f Penna. they were from and in our visiting wa found a Mr. Rothrock, lrom State College. I asked him if he were any relation to Prof. Rotii rck. at Fort Matilda, and he said, 'Yes, he is a distant relative of mine, v. e are brothers." He and his good wife came over and had a vey fine vi-it in our parlor, that was furnished f y Henry Ford. This was the first tir.i? we ever traveled on Sunday, but anj- one who has ever been to Cas par, and camped in their Tourist l ark, would not want to spend a Sun I'.ay there. From Casper, about all you can see is sage brush, prairie ihigs and bull snakes until you come "i. Grey Bull. This is another oil field. Then we came to some irrigated land, v here you can raise almost anything tht will grow in the r.orth temper ate zone. Thr-re are good farms with .-"'-nd improvements that one could have it" he paid the taxes and water rt nt. Frcm Grey Bull th2 county is bcau Jiful for about CO milrs, and then we ?-r)t rut of ihe irrigated section, and f''f 40 miles we had ueert.

Nebraska Cows are Producing Very Heavily Demand for Profitable Animals Is Re ported on the Increase But terfat Increases. E. C. Scheidenhelm, extension dairyman at the agricultural college says in his monthly report that fcale of dairy cows with good production records has been extremely good in Nebarska this winter. The report says butterfat production increased in December over the same period in 1932. Records kept by lairymen in herd improvement associations show the demand for profitable cows has been constantly increasing. In December they sold 70 cows for breeding pur poses in comparison to 39 for the pre vious month, and 12 for December, 1932. Culling stayed abcui even. The C.44C cows on test in all parts of the state averaged 29.1 pounds but terfat. This was 2.4 pounds greater than for November and 1.2 pounds more than in December, 1932. One reason for the latter rise, Scheiden helm explains, is that freshening took place earlier than a year ago. There has ben a marked trend in this direc tion since 1931. The Hamilton-IIall-Merrick dairy herd improvement association led similar organizations in butterfat' production for Dececmber with an average production of 33.7 pounds butterfat. Ivan Griess is the third. In the group of 5 to 15 cows milked twice daily. Elton Newman of York had the high herd with Joseph Shalla of Beatrice second and C. E. Moore of Decatur third. In the 16 or more cow division, the high herd belonged to Donald Huggart of Grand Island. C. M. Moyer of Ceresco owned the sce ond high group of cows. Donald Huggart, prominent Grand Inland dairvman and a member of the Haniiltcn-IIall - Merrick association had the highest butterfat producing cow in testing associations in Nebras ka for December. His registered Hol stein made 103.7 pounds of fat and was miiked twice daily. Horace J. Anderson of Battle Creek owned the second high animal and Otto Ibsen and Sons of Fremont the third. The surviving children are F. W. Beil and Mrs. Peter Campbell, of Plattsmouth ; Mrs. J. A. Bauer, of Union; Mrs. F. S. Sitzman, of Imper ial and Mrs. G. W. Woodard, of Al bany, Oregon.
