Derby Sultana.
Varsity Derby Sultana. a purebred
Holsteip cow owned by the agricul
tural college of the Unversity of Ne
braska, has a production record of
1,161 pounds of butter in one year,
according to authorities at the college.
This is slightly more than three
pounds a day. it is pointed out. and
is sufficiently to supply 15 families
of five persons each with their annual
butter supply.
Sultana's record as a senior 4-year
old was 25,456.1 pounds of milk. 928.8
pounds of butterfat or 1.161 pounds of
butter. If taken as milk, it equals
23.680 pints or 11.840 quarts. This is
equal to 32*2 quarts of milk for each
day.
In Nebraska, the average cow pro
duces 2,528 pounds of milk in a year,
college authorities state. Sultana's
production, therefore,, is equal to 10
a \ »rage cows.
A statement given out at the college
said, "Such a cow is not a happen
stance. but the result of years of con
structive breeding. Sultalia's sire and
dam both were bred at the agricul
tural college and she was developed
here. As a 2-year-old. she produced
19.555.8 pounds of milk. 693.59 pounds
of butterfat. or 866.99'pounds of but
ter. which was the Nebraska state
butterfat record for junior 2-year-olds.
She has therefore been a consistent
record breaker.
It will be of interest to know that
her last son was loaned to the Ingle
side State hospital at Hastings as a
part of the effort to build up better
herds at the state institutions."
Kearney Potato Men
Want Rates Reduced
Special Dispatch l« The Omaha Bee.
Kearney. Neb.. April 29.—Potato
growers in the Kearney district,
through their association ■ and the
Chamber of Commerce, have asked
for a hearTTTg before the state rail
way commission for an adjustment
of tales. Tn a petition forwarded to
the commission, it is contended that
the Kearney district is unjustly (dealt
with, as compared with rates ex
tended to other- competitive areas,
and it is further alleged that the
Platte valley area is not even con
sidered and classified a district, with
district rate advantages, although so
recognized by the I’nited States De
partment of Agriculture. Bast year
the acreage was approximately 6.000,
as compared with in excess of 4,000
this season, a reduction correspond
ing with curtailment of acreage at al
most every potato-growing area over
the country.
Based on a rale to Omaha. 1 cent
carried 100 pounds of potatoes eight
miles, when consigned front Kear
ney; the same amount carries 100
pounds 14 miles when shipped front
Dix; 13 miles front Scottabluff. 10
miles out of Kimball. 14 miles out of
Burley, Idaho, and 15 miles out of
Moorhead. Minn. A more equitable
adjustment of the rate is being
sought. . e

Co-operative Bull Association Plan in Nebraska
I Practical Demonstration of Value of Better Sires
—
|University of Nebraska Dairy
I .
Department Loans One Ani
mal for Eaeh Organiza
tion Buying Two.
BY H. 1>. LITE.
A new Co-operative Bull association
plan In Nebraska not only .enables
dairymen to have the use of better
sires for the improvement of the herd,
but is a practical demonstration of
their value as well. Prof. H. P. Davis,
chairman of tho dairy department,
college of agriculture, University of
Nebraska, is putting this new plan
into effect.
The plan calls for a hull association
of at least three blocks with not fewer
than 40 cows in each block. The as.
sociatlon buys bulls for two blocks
and the University dairy department
4oans one bull, that means that the
association will have the use for six
years of a sire that needs not to be
purchased. In return for the use of
this sire, certain conditions,must be
met.
All stock in the'association must b«
tuberculin tested regularity; the ow ners
must keep records of milk production
of present dams and of the progeny.
This is to he a practical and positive
demonstration of ilie potency of good
seres in increasing milk production.
It is expected that this demonstration
will greatly stimulate keeping cost
and production records and the use of
better sires. Hamilton county has
one such association going.
Solves Yexing Problem.
How to be able to secure the use of
good sires without prohibitive cost
has been a vexing problem for the far
mer with but few breeding females.
Because of this cost, the man with a
few cows has usually been unable to
compete in quality or productive
capacity of cattle with the breeder
who kept a larger number of cows
One of the animals loaned l>> univeristy daily department to emonrauo
organizations of associations to increase milk production with belter sires.
and could thus'afford to purchase
good bulls.
In that section of Nebraska where
lies the higher priced land and where
fewer cattle are kept, it is necessary
to have more stock to provide a better
rotation system to keep up the fertil
ity of the soil. It is also imperative
that such stock as is kept should be
money makers. It is no wonder then,
that interest is more and more center
ing on dairy cows.
First State \ asocial ion.
To solve the problem mentioned
above, the farmers of Saunders coun
ty. under the leadership of \V. K.
Roberts, county agricultural agent,
and M. X. Lawritson. dairy specialist
of the extension service, college of
agriculture, organized the first hull
association in Nebraska in 1022. By
being the first bull association, or
ganized in Nebraska, they were offer
ed a bull free -by a pure bred Hol
stein breeder near Lincoln. This of
fer was refused but the directors
bought from the same breedei a bet
ter bull which ho sold th'ni at half
price.
The Saunders County Bull associa
tion is incorporated under the non
stock nonprofit law. There is one
director from each block or five in
all. These directors choose ih*» of
ficers from their own number. The
secretary keeps the record* of all
kinds pertaining to the association.
Tho^ membership fee is .*! per year.

The association is divided into five
Mocks. A bull is secured for each
block and is kept there two year*

nmj is then passed on to the next
bask in regular order. This means,
that if a bull lives and proves use
ful. that he is kept in service for 10
years in the association. There are
from 10 to 50 cows in each block.
This number will no doubt be equaliz
ed as the members get more cows.
The bull is kept by some farmer
near tlie center of the block and is
never turned out with other cattle.
Tile farmer on whose premises the
bull is kept quartered may be paid
for feed, labor and time required, but
most farmers are making no charge
as they figure that the convenience
of having him right at home is about
equal to the cost of keeping him.
Tlie price paid for bulls ranges
from $250 to $500 per head. They
must have a standard of T50 pounds
of butter per year or its equivalent.
They are owned by the association to
the treasury of which each member
lias contributed his share, in proper
linn to the number of cows In service,
of tlie money required to finance the
organization. The bulls are kept on
tuberculosis free premises and are
bought subject tci a 80 day retest. All

possible, according to the accredited
herd plan conducted bv the state and
federal government.
Through this system, it is possible
to tiring about rapid and systematic
Improvement of dairy cattle at a rea
sonable expense to the individual
farmer. If should mean the elimina
tion of the scrub sire in a compara
tively short term. it also offers n
splendid opportunity to cooperate in
advertising and selling surplus stock.
With the County Agents
DOKil.AS ( Ol'NTV.
An attempt is being made at this
t in" to organize a cooperative cow
testing association in the two coun
ties—Washington and Douglas.
A cow testing association consists
of a group of 26 or more daily
fanners, who together hire a to. ter
to test the milk of each and cv°ry
cow in their herds, and the:- keep
tlie feed costs ami production of their
herds. The cost to each farmer will
be about $2.2i per cow per year.
Cow testing association records are
kept primarily for the information of
tlie individual member, jn order that
they may know what each cow in
their herd is producing, whether she
is returning a profit or lo«s. It is a
big advantage to have rows entered
in the row testing association in or
der to find and weed out the "board
ers.” who are not paying for their
feed. The surplus stock will bring
higher prices. Should the man want
to disburse his herd, he will realize
many times the cost of the testing in
the returns he will get for his herd.
M. X. Lawrltson, extension special
ist of the Nebraska state college in
dairy husbandry, is assisting in the
organization of this association.

The Prophecy of Franklin’s Pen
It wag in one of those courtly halls of Europe - in ITS” Be
fore the nobility of France. Englr.nd, and Spain, Benjamin
Franklin pointed to a large wall-map of the American con
tinent. Across the vast territory extending from the Missis
sippl River to The Rockies, and from Canada lo the Gulf,
there was printed this legend: "Great American I'e
sert." Over these disheartening words, Franklin drew a bold
broad line. "Gentlemen,” he said, "that Is my prophecy.”
I,csg than a century and a hair have passed. What was
once believed to lie an arid waste has become the richest
agricultural region In the world Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska —
all are part of the "Great American Desert" of the clRhteen'h
century. Beautiful cities have arisen upon the remains of
Indian villages; peaceful herds of rattle abound where once
the buffalo roamed; To bushels of corn to the acre, and <0
bushels of wheat, arff not uncommon yields from soil that
once raised only prairie grass and a little maize. Benjamin
Franklin s prophecy has been fulfilled.
When the first Immigrant trains were crossing this "l>fs
sort"; when the dawn of an agricultural Nebraska was just
breaking; when what Is now the great state of Nebraska was
still part of an almost unbroken wilderness. The Nebraska
Farmer first became an important factor in the development
of the state Founded in ISfdt by Robert W. Furnas, who
later IxM'ame Governor of Nebraska, it has been a innstruo*
live force in its field for over sixty yeais

2. The money invested does not
yield satisfactory, returns.
3. Kces. books, board and roohi,
as well as a girl’s clothes, are out
rageous in pric e.
4 Girls do not have the opportun
ity or desire that boys hove for work
ing their way through school in whole
or in part, and even If the desire
were present, tlie opi>ortunity would
be lacking.
5. Students spend their money
foolishly and then are unable to tell
what becomes of it.
Kail- on Point.
The- affirmative was unable to give
any fibres to support tb»* fourth
point when challenged to do ho by the
negative.
Miss A«countbook gave th'se main
points:
1. Kvery figure given by me is
based on actual f. < t and record.
2. A summary of 4S accounts kept
by the borne « . onomics girls a* the
1‘niverslty of Nebraska for the femes
ter of the year 1921-192* gave the
average total expense as $369.39. with
the minimum account of that lot only
$167.91. and the maximum $543.60.
The second semestei total of that
same year was about $13 le.-s for the
average total.
3. The average student generally
apportions the total money to various
need* in the following manner:

Variation Iwpla inert.
The wide variation is due to the
fact that some of the girls were liv
ing a: home, others working in part
fur board and room, while koiu* few
kept down expenses by doing light
housekeeping. This variation is con
sidered in a separate set of figures.
4 The difference between the ex
11?tiffed of the sorority and nonsoror
j ity amounts on an average to about
$50 more for the sorority freshmen.
Any girls doing work for hoard and
room, living at homes, or in other
unusual circumstances are classed in
the account summarized as "Irregu
lars." These "Irregulars'* have a
tot^l averaging from $100 to $180 less
than those having to pay entirely for
board and room as well as other ex
penses. This shows that it is pos
sible for a girl^ito save that amount
if she wishes to work.
a. Home reliable figures indicate
that all fees, -books, school supplies
and school carfare for the first r*
n ester need not amount to more than
$33 unless there is an unusual amount
to he spent for carfare each semester.
Rooms at dormatoiies may be pro
cured for from $35 to $55. according
to location. Food, clothing, operat
ing and incidental items vary.
6 There arc opportunities for girls
to work their way through school In
fact, one third of the women students
enrolled at the University of Ne
braska are working their way through
school wholly or in part this year.
Mis* Account Book s figures quite
definitely defeated Mr. Skeptic's
strongest points. It was agreed by
all that Mr. Skeptic's statement that
students spend their money foolishiy
and then arc unable to tell what he
roines of it. was entirely unfounded
since the speaker for the r.egativ
was herself a representative of tiK
a<-count kep* by freshmen studem-;
in the home economics department.
The judges retired for quite a
lengthy conference, but the decision
reached by Miffs High School H*moi
and Her Family was unanimGlibly in
favor of the negative.
