Clemson College.-"It is a common saying that the sire is 'half the herd. As a matter of fact, in most cases, he is of even greater value," says Thos. W. Moseley, Dairy Specialist of the Extension Service. A Common Practice. Yet many farmers do not appre ciate the above statement and year after year are content to use any bull that will make their cows come fresh. The result of the use of inferior or scrub sires is that the calves are near ly always inferior to their dams, and after awhile the farmer complains that his stock has "run out." One farmer who owned a scrub bull bred hiim to his cow, which had produced 141.8 pounds of butterfat in one year, and their daughter when she came into milk produced only 126., pounds of butterfat. This heifer was bred baclk to the scrub bull and a heifer fron this mat ing produced only 99.7 pcrnds of butterfat, of 47.1 pounds less than her grandmother. At 50v. pe'r pound for biitterfat this would mean atn annual loss of $2.55. An Investment That Paid. Another farmer who had becntne discouraged with scrub sires decided to buy the host he could afford. liN mated him with his cows. which wore just "ordinary." and the first six Iaif ers produced an average of 93.8 pound, of butterfat. more than their dams With butterfat at 50c poi pound thit woild mean an increased yearly in come of $2:1.40. These heifers were retained for five years and in tha tine brought in $1.407.00 inore har their dams.

HOW TO PREVENT COTTON AN. THRACNOSE. Cotton anthracnose, the fungus boll rot of cotton, is carrIed ini the seed. The fungus lives over front one year to the next in the boll.
