V>ve, h?te fcrifif or THE HORRY HERALD, OON HAVING BULL ASSOCIATIONS Open the Way to Good Stock at Low Cost on Farms USED IN EUROPE, NEW OVER HERE U. S. Department of Agriculture Will Supply the Details Free Every dairy farmer knows that he would ?ot better returns from his feed and labor it* he had hiprh grade stock; but the idea of establishing p blooded herd immediately suirirests "kid glove" farming and bankruptcy I "Two-thousand dollar cows and two dollar milk," was one farmer's characterization. Vet the United States Department of Agriculture annually is leading hundreds of farmers toward the possession of herds that will increase o* increase the former milk and butt^v tt yield with the same outlay for unkeeo. One of' the most useful agencies is the co-operative hull assc ciation. A Better Calf a Year. A high grade cow will impart her excellent finalities to one calf a year and tho total of high grade farm cattle is increased hv one. On the ether hand, a hull whose mother had the same milk and butter qualifications and whose father is descended from a milk and butter strain may sire as many as seventy-five calves, each carrying its share of the racial excellence. This bull can do duty with one lot of cows for two years without anger of inbreeding. If there were five lots of cows and five bulls and the hulls were rotated from one herd to another every two years, each bull would have a period of usefulness of possibly ten years and may easily have added 750 head of young stock, with a due proportion of high milkproducing heifers. As the first generation of heifers became milkers the breeding value of the bulls would become established and any inferior .?izes couid be v eeded out. Five bulbkept for ten years m.ay change the entire dairy industry of a community and possibly give its cattle a distinctiveness that would be a valuable market asset. Co-operative bull associations have listed in Europe for a long time. In America the system is only twelve or thirteen years old, but records of milk n<l butter-fat production are is possession of the department showing mgible benefit far exceeding the cost to the cow owners. At New Windsor, Md., for instance., .-even daughters of one sire average*! 270.5 pounds of butter fat a year, an' improvement over the average of 208.3 pounds for their dams. This was only the first generation. The fiveblock association will permit line breeding with greatly increased possibilities. Plan or Organization. To organize a co-operative bull association ii is first advisable to arou as murh interest fs possible in the plan through meetings, conversation and the circulation 01 iJepartmen Agriculture literature. It is possible that the county agent or even some state or Federal agricultural repre tentative can be induced to help per<oiv.l'v. Advice can always he obtained from the department by mai1 Forms can he had from the department for a preliminary agieemeni, in which, among other things, the number of cows owned by each prospective member is listed. When a sufficient number of cows have been listed, a meeting snouici oe called ami arrangements made for incorporation. Each member would contribute in proportion to the number of cows he owns, but would have only one vote. As early as possible the tempo . rar\ or permanent secretary shouM begin corresponding with breeder? having high grade bulls for s::!r. One bull should bo purchased fo% 1 about every seventy-fi v 1 cows Tlr ow>- should be divided into blockf of that number, with regard to geo> ' graphical conveniencee, .and arrangements made for the keeping ol . the bull by a responsible membei v. hose farm is conveniently located ' The fees should be such as to cove? ! the purchase cost and the cost oi keep for a year and annual asses? ( ment provided thereafter. f Valuable information on the for m.ilion and conduct of bull associa f ion - will be found in Farmers' Hulle lin which the department wi) s | end Cvc on request. Supplements j informal ion, including plans for ; model bull pen, and data on the op oration and success of various estab ' lished bull associations can also l? J had by correspondence. The depart ' ment is doing everything in its powei ' to promote the co-operative bull as Kucuiuun movement RS one 01 tr.< most valuable advances made in mod jj crn dairying. 1 V.

C.?Farmers of the ] Pee Deo section will have the most direct service possible from the South 1 Carolina Extension Service, under a policy adopted and now put into et- i feet, announces Mr. T. Benton Young, t of Florence, district .agent. A corps i of specialists have been stationed in Florence where they will be within j three to 12 hours call of practically t every farmer in the district, in addi- * tion to the assistance of the local J county agent. "And these specialists are here for ? the service of the agricultural interests, the individual when needed, of his district?and we want anyone, in need of them, to call cn them, too," adds Mr. Young. "If urgent, use the long distance telephone or the telegraph wires?write or call in person." Mr. Y oung is head of the service in | this district, which includes the counties of Berklev, Charleston, Clarendon. Colleton, Darlington, Dillon. Dor'hest^r. Florence, Georgetown, Iioivy, Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter and Williamsburg. All the corps of specialists here is under him and onrates in the same territory. The nresent special corps comprises tlio following members: S D. Sims in livestock. Ho i< a graduate of Purdue University^ Ir.is had several yoars practical work on livestock farms of the West, and vmiVc -it! rivo of tho ablest members of tho district corps. L. H. Lewis, in marketing. Prior to coming to South Carolina about two years ago, he engaged in tho extension service work in Alabama. Already his work handling sweet potatoes in this section, has won connendation of his ability. He is ready and competent to advise on hond'ing 'nd preparing any product of the territory for the market. R. Farmer, in horticulture. He is duo to ioin the district beadouarters witMn the next, two or three weeks. Ho i<? our of tho honor men of Clemson ,ond ronks very high in his activity. Tho district arrent hopes tbc farms of this section are going to ntil i/.o Mm t<"> expand and improve their fruit and nut orchards, i C. W. Schmolke, in dairying. He lis a man of international experience having woi^od in England, Africa and thp United Sf.nt/*s. Mo lioro nbout two months ago and has already accomplished some notable work. Ko is at the call of anyone hav insr problems in dairying. E. E. Hall, plant and seed breeding. For 10 years, he has devoted his time almost exclusively to this highly technical and interesting work. Ho has been engaged with some of the foremost breeders of the United States and joins the service as an unusually well equipped man. Anyone desiring to undertake breeding improved varieties of seed or plants should con.4 ill him. A poultry specialist probably will be added to the district corps within :he near future. He will be added if certain development work is undertaken in this territory. Dr. W. W. Long, director of the extension service, originated the idea of putting the special men in position to be of most direct service to the individual who needs them. Service is his great idea and objective. Decentralization at the college was necessary because of the tremendous amount o' work which they are being called upon to handle. The Pee Dee people especially are availing themselves of this expert assistance. ?.?? MMMft - .
