SOME STRIKING FACTS

Tluit the use of purebred sires is
usually a forerunner to ownership of
vellbred live stock in the vara us
classes and breeds is shown by data
on breeding just made public by the
"Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The facts and figures compiled are
based on records of the "Bott?i
Sires?Better Stock" campaign,
which at the close of 1919 had been
in progress just three months. A
greater quantity of data will be need
cd before conclusive deductions may
be made, but the following facts are
considered of unusual interest to live
c 1 n/?lr rru'nnrc
The use of pure bred sires appears
to lead automatically to the
-ownership of a considerable quantity
of purebred female stock.
The use of purebred sires apparently
results also in the culling out
of scrub females, judging from the
small proportion of scrub females
to grade, crossbred, and purebred
female animals owned by purebredsire
users.
Of all female stock owned by persons
enrolled in the better-sires
campaign at the end of the year, 71 i
per cent were purebred, 2fi per cent
were grades and crossbrcds, and 3
per cent were :scrubs.
The scrub females are believed to
b.' the remnants of former inferior
stock before purbred sires were used, j
since purebred sires lead automatical
h to either purebred, crossbred or
grade offspring, depending on the
blood lines of the females used.
Low Percentages of Scrub Fain ales.
The percentages of purebre 1 females
found in herds and flocks own
ed by purebred-sire users was notice
ably similar for the various classes
of animals. In cattle the per cent
o' purebred females was 63.5, in
swine 64, in sheep 63.
Poultry figures showed the smallest
per cent of scrub females in
Pocks headed by sires of pure breeding,
the figure being 1.8. Poultry al
so showed the highest per cent (78.1)
of females of pure breeding, and the
smallest per cent (1.8) of scrub females.
Similar figures on horses, asses,
and goats are not presented as the
ei loilmcnt of t' e o animals is not
considered sufficiently large at this
time. Those classes, however, were

CHURCHES PLAN
COSY PROGRAM
Intcrchurch World Movement
Outlines Activities In South
For Months Ahead
Beginning with a campaign of education
of the church member to his
financial obligation to tlie church, a
comprehensive and continuous program
of activities from the present
time through the month of June has
been decided upon by the Intcrchurch
World Movement in tlie South. This
campaign of education in the duty oi
giving to the support of religious activities
is commonly known in the
movement as the Stewardship campaign.
It will culminate on Washing
ton's Birthday in the observance ol
National Stewardship Enrollment Day
in all churches participating in the
movement, February 22 this yeai
chancing to fall on Sunday.
The Stewardship enrollment observance
will be followed by the observ
ance of Sunday, February 29th, as
Life Enlistment Day of Prayer for l
Students. February this year, for the
first time in forty years, will have five
Sundays. This fifth Sunday observance
is to be made a day of significance
throughout the lnterchurch
World Movement's organization.
The month of March is to be given
over to the promotion of the campaign
for life-work and evangelism, culminating
in the observance of Acknowl- ?
edgment Day on Palm Sunday, which ?
this year falls on March 28th. Every
church taking part in the movement
is expected to hold special evangelistic
services during the month. During
March also there are to be held
a series of state pastors' conferences
in the principal cities of the South
to bring the pastors more closely in
touch with the purposes and scope of
the lnterchurch World Movement in
its relation to the individual church,
community and denomination.
Join the Church Day and Commitment
Day, when thousands of new
members are expected to be received
into the churches in the South, will
be observed on Faster Sunday, April
4th. This day will be marked by a 31
great ingathering of Christians in the
churches inspired with the thought
and determination of doing a greater
Qorviro for Christianity
The next fortnight in April will bo
spent in active preparation for the
great financial campaign to be conducted
April 21st to May 2d, inclusive.
Local teams and committees
will be organized and thoroughly drill
ed in the duties to be expected ul
them in the making of this canvass
for funds to carry out the constructive
program of the churches.
Throughout May and the early part
of June the Movement will be directed
toward the organization and peifee
tion of conservation and extension
plans. Later in June summer confer
ences of missionary education wis! bo

Results of Work for Better Bulls
Comments accompanying b'anks
enrollment indicated tha* many livestock
owners had used pur. bred
| sires for a considerable period,
which materially reduced the percentage
of senilis. This is lik ly t>
be true of a good many who enrol'
e: rly in the campaign, but is evi
donee pointing stiongly to the influ
cnce of purebred sires on improvement
in quality of herds and
flocks.
The drive which many Steles have
been waging against sc ui> bubs was
reflected in the enrollment figures.
More purine I bulls were enr lied
- j than any other class of live stock,
? except poultry.
At the end of December there
were enrolled in the "Better S res?
B< Iter Stock" campaign 6,200 animals,
and in addition 8,940 poultry,
Facts Obtained with Special Care.
Knowledge about the breeding of
live stock in the "Better Sires-Bettei 1
Stock campaign is obtained with ]
special care. First, the owner of 1
I the stock lists his animals kept for
breeding on the enrollment blank in
accordance with the official (bfini

with respect to their parentage.
As the better-sires slogan in(i
rates, all males must be purbrcd

Female stock may be of any breed
ing and spaces are provided for the
K listing of purebred, grade, crossbred,
and scrub females. Then the classify
fication is approved by the county

anything before taking it. He was in bed
most of the time, complaining with broken-down
nerves and backache. He has
taken three bottles and says he is M
strong as when he was 17 vears old."

'rooting deep into the soil ha* its
virtues.
In these times there seem to be
a great many men of the tumble- <
weed variety being swept hither an?l
thither. There are* so many tumbleweeds
scurrying about that the oaks *
may he overlooked. Start to count
them though and there are plenty of
oaks?hen who have struck their '
roots deep into their home soil.
One of the present day problem ?
is whether it is worth while to attempt
the task of increasing the- L.
number of oaks and decreasing the *
number of tuniblewecds. The fii^t
thing to be noticed about the <IIQ*
is that it is of slow growth. It does
not spring up in a day. The next
thing is that it establishes itself ty
1 iking root.
Community building is oak growling-.
Raising colonies of tumble- ^
weeds will not do the trick. ^
Before men begin to root deeply
in a community they must have an
i abiding interest in it. That community
must be more than a cha c>
fence corner into which they have
been whirled. Too many communities
are simply stopping places fywthc
people that live in them. In driving
home the fact that, community
building brought about by a real
community life is a constructive
work, the present day Community
Service movement has performed a
distinct service. Community building
means more oaks. A lack of it
means more tumblcwecds.
