Clemson College—“It is a common
saying that the sire is ‘half the herd.’
As a matter of fact, in most coses, 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 damst and
after awhile the farmer complains
that his stock has “run out.” One
farmer who owned a scrub bull bred
him to his cow, which had produced
146.8 pounds of butterfat in one year,
and their daughter when she came
into milk produced only 126.3 pounds
of butterfat. This heifer was bred
back to the scrub bull and a heifer
from this mating produced only 99.7
pounds of butterfat, of 47.1 pounds
less than her grandmother. At 5Qc.
per pound for butterfat this would
mean an annual loss of $23.55.
An Investment That Paid. I
Another farmer who had become
discouraged with scrub sires decided
to buy the best he could afford. He
mated Mm with his cows, which were
Just “otdinary,” and the first six belt
ers produced an average of 93.8 pounds
of butterfat more than their dams.
With butterfat at 50c per pound this
would mean an increased yearly in
come of $281.40. These heifers were
retained for’ fire years and in that
time brought in $1,407.00 more than
their dams. In other words, through
the use of a good pure-bred sire for
only one year he realized $1,407.00.
Only Pure-Bred Bulls Are Good Bulls.
But you can’t expect these results
using a scrub bull. The scrub
ill has no individuality. He is the
bsult of years of careless, indiscrim-
aate, haphazard breeding. In big
Dod runs the inferiority of many an-
monistic breeds. The scrub bull is
mixture and almost without excep-
lion the bad far out weighs the good.
The scrub bull chokes instead of pro
moting improvement ih the herd.
And you can’t expect these results
from a grade bull, no matter if he is
the Son of a high-producing cow.
The grade bull has no lines of good
blood back of him. He is more apt to
transmit the weakness of his make-up
than his strong points.
But you can expect these results by
using a good bull. A gdod bull must
be a pure-bred bull. He must be
more. He must be a good pure-bred
bull. '
Use Only Bred-For-Produetion Sires.
A good bull must have back of him
a family of high producers, because
toe can transmit to his offspring only
what he has received from his ances
try. His mother must be a family of
high producers, because he can
transmit to his offspring only what
he has received from his ancestry.
His mother must be a high producer,
and his sire must come from a high
producing dam. His sire must have
mired high-producing daughters.^ If
his family for two or three generations
back has a record of uniformly high
production, there is little doubt that
he will be able to transmit that qual
ity to his offspring. And such a‘bull
can earn for the dairyman many times
his- cost.
But Pedigree Is Not Everything.
Many an animal has a fine pedigree
but is a very poor individual. The
right dairy sire should toe a good in
dividual as well as have a good pedi
gree. He should be fairly typical of
his breed and show Masculinity, C»
pacity, Size and Quality.
. The real value of a dairy sire te
any herd is told when his daughters
freshen. Then we are able to teH
whether he is improving the herd. If
his daughters are better producers
than ...their dams were at the same
age, then we are on the right track.
A sire which does nst improve the
herd and whose daughters are not j
better than their dams should be sold
at once. j
If you caught a man running oft I
with $100.00 worth of your property,
would you sit back in your chair and
let him do it? Well, then, why be so
partial to the scrub or grade bull?
IHe is robbing you of $100.00 every
time he breeds one of your cows. He
is breeding your herd down and not
up.

AN-
Cotton anthracnose, the fungus boll
rot of cotton, is carried in the seed.
The fungus lives over from one year
to the next in the boll. To prevent
this troublesome and destructive dis
ease it is necessarv to practice a ro-
tation, and to secure seed for planting
parpost* from fields where there was
no disease last year. Seed may also
; eome in contact with the disease at
the gin, and thus carry the trouble
intb the field. Cotton seed three years
old will be free from disease even

the disease was present. Avoid this
