Slate Quickly Awakening to Dairy Farming Summary of Development , Contained in Address Be fore Annual Meet ing. Special Dlapatrh to The Omaha B-f. Lincoln, Jan. 8.—Nebraska is quick ly awakening to the realization that dairy farming is on* of Its most valu able resources. This was indicated by a summary of dairy development In the state, contained in addresses before the Ne braska Dairy Development society, meeting here today in Its first annual convention. Addresses by Carl Gray, president; JJ. P. Davis, secretary and treasurer, and O. H. I.iehers, manager, made It clear that the society has accom plished much valuable work in its spven months of activity in creating Interest In proper dairy methods. Cover Wide Range. The activities of the society have covered a wide range, ,Mr. Gray's ad dress Indicated. Among the import ant undertakings have been the or ganization of the Nebraska dairy special tour, on which ion Nebraska dairymen visited the national dairy show and inspected model dairy farms in Wisconsin, and co-operation in the Burlington's better dairy sire special train. In addition to these major under takings, Mr. Gray pointed out, the field force of the society has ad dressed scores of dairy meetings, helped to organize cal fclubs and cow testing associations, organized feed ing schools and furnished dairymen with statistics needed to enable them to conduct their business profitably. Mr. Gray laid particular emphasis on the practical nature of the so ciety's work. ■ I'ractical Benefit. "The society has endeavored to eon duct Its activities so as to lie a prac tical and not q theoretical benefit to the dairy industry in Nebraska," he sa Id. "Extreme care has been exercised i nencouraging an Increase in the dairy herd, and this has not been done at all unless, in the opinion of our ex perienced field men, the individual involved had proper equipment and ability to mnke a success of his en terprise. “We have rather directed our at tention to the improvement of meth ods and the detection and correction of improper practices and in encour agement to improve the herds and increase the production per animal through the elimination of the In ferior producer, and to the Improve ment of the herd through breeding to purebred sires." Encourage Breeding, Mr. I.iehers, manager of the soelety presented a detailed statement of tiie work accomplished and stressed par ticularly the value of the society's work In organizing cow testing asso ciation* and In encouraging breeding to purebred sires. "When the society became active," he said, “we had only two cow-testing associations in the stale. Now there are three, with the possibility of an other being completed In the neat future. "We have approximately 500,000 dairy cows in Nebraska. Of tbe num ber It Is estimated that one-third arc kept at a loss to the farmer; one third barely pay for their keep, and only one-third show a profit to the farmer. The feed and labor expended on this large number of unprofitable cows represents sn enormous waste. 200,000 Dairy Breeding. "Recognizing tlie great need for more cow testing associations, we have give na great deal of attention to this work. During the short time thst we have been active, we have In co-operation with the college ex tension department, completed the or ganlzation of the Lancaster County Cow Testing association, with 475 cows, the reorganization of the Tri County Cow' Testing association, and have assisted extension agencies in getting individual farmers to keep records on 500 rows." Regarding the movement for bettei sires, Mr. I.iehers said: "Of the 500,000 dairy rows In Ne braska. only about 200,000 are of dairy breeding, and only 1.1 per rent are purebred. This means tlm! we have only one purebred sire for every 354 farms. A careful survey shows that the states and communities hat ing the higher annual production per cow also have a corresponding higher percentage of purebred sires. Valuable Service. "The dairy sire special accom plished a valuable service to the stale In giving away 31 purebred sires More than 100,000 people saw the ex Mbit*. "We believe that the best way to Improve the dairy cattle is by the Use of better sires, weeding out the poor cows and raising the calves from tin good ctiws. We have followe ilup the work of the sire special by encourag Ing tha organization of bull assoclu Rons. "We believe lhat strong. state wide breed organization* can lie of great assistance In building up the dairy Industry by supplying ’the breed er*. especially the beginners, with the right information. We cannot repro sent snv particular breed, but are ready to assist all breed organizations Study of Marketing. "The society is also making a study of and analysts of marketing prob lem* of the dairy industry in Netiras ka. from the standpoint of the Indi vidua 1. We want to render service baaed on facts and figures." Both Mr. Ltebera and Mr. Gray lamented the fact that the society had been handicapped thus fur In the work of gathering statistics through lack of funds. The program outlined for the society contemplated raisins a fund Of $100,000 for the flvc-yeau program, but so far only $53,900 has been subscribed, payable In five 1m stsllments. H. P. Davis, se, retnry anil treiisj lirer of the society, read a financial report at the meeting today. till Statement showed that $10,0 1. 01 war received from members for Hie ft re l year's activities. The balance on hand at the end of the J eaj- wa r $3,117. MAN FOUND DEAD; BODY SHOWS BURNS gpeclal DUpnl<-h to Tho Omolio Be#. Superior. Jan. S.—H. C.

BURGESS Who doth the lnw of safety heed Will not be influenced by greed. —Old Mother Nature. The Oilers Move On. The young Otter, who had left a toe behind in a trap, was so happy to be free again that he hardly gave tile loss of that toe a thought. The cold water was good for the sore foot, and the young Otter being healthy, his foot healed rapidly. In fact, in two or three days his foot was practically well. But the young Otter didn't forget his dreadful ex perience. He never would forget It. He had learned a lesson that he would remember as long as hp lived. All his life he would he suspicious of traps and on the watch for them. Never again would that young Otter be caught In a trap. Of course the trapper found that toe In his trap. Such a disappoint ed trapper as he was! "There won't be a chance of catching that Otter again," said he. "I must have lieen careless In setting that trap, it should have caught him by -the whole foot and not just by the toe. Probably those other Otters all know about It now." When he discovered the new slip pery slide lie knew that his traps at the old slippery slide had been dis Hu he spent all Die next day hidden near the slippery slide. covered, lie set another trap at the foot of the new slide, but he didn't have much hope of catching any one In it. }le understood perfectly that Little Joe Otter and Mrs otter were wise in the ways of trappers 1 guess," muttered the trapper, "that my best chance of getting one ol those Otters will he able to hide for a rlianre to shoot on* of th*m. I'll spend the day over here tomorrow with my gun.” So h» spent ell the next day hidden near the slippery slide, watching with his terrible gun. Hut he didn’t have a chance to use it. He didn't get so much as a glimpse of a slick hrown head. And the reason was that Little Joe Otter and his family were far away down the brook. They had started early the night before. They were on their way down toward the Hlg River. Little Joe and Mrs. Otter had talk ed the matter all over. "Jt Isn't safe to stay here any longer," declared Little .Joe. "[ don't Uke to leave the good fishing, for we may not find another place where It Is so easy In get plenty of fish. Hut that terrilii' two-legged creature will give us no peace. There Is a trap now at the foot of our new sll|ijiery slide.” "Vou are quite right, my dear," replied Mrs. fitter, "j Hm worried to death for fear. In spile of all their watchfulness, one of the children 'will get caught In a terrible trap and be killed. I think the sooner we move a long the better. Safety Is the most Important thing." So once more Little Joe and his family went traveling. There was a crust, on the snow now and they had a lot of fun sliding. Moreover, they dldn i leave a trail, as when they had left the laughing Brook In the soft snow. They followed the hlg brook m Its way toward the R|K River. .Vow and then they ram* to open place, where the water Was swift and ID hadn't frozen. There they stopped to fish.
