CAMPBELL, Prop. to . ae? ■’liik produc tion and lower feed costs per 100 pounds of milk. The story, as *old by R. D. Steer, extension dairy specialist, js based on facts reveal ed in the operation of the mail order cow test association conduc ted for farmers by the Extension Service dairy specialists,—a service of real value because it gives the unvarnished facts on each cow. In one herd the returns above feed cost from four cows were found to be 28 cents less per cow per day than from four other cows of similar age and freshening date in the same herd. On this basis, during an average milking year of 300 days, each one of the good cows would return $84.00 more than the low producers. The owner would perhaps never have discovered this difference since two of the low pro ducers were his favorites largely because of their pleasing conform ation and sleek condition. This same herd was producing 2.42 pounds of milk per pound of grain when they were started in the Cow Test Association. The herdsman has been able by following the re ports on his cows to Increase this figure to 2.86 pounds of milk per pound of grain. In 91 days this increase has resulted in a net sav ing of $140.89 in feed costs for the owner. The average feed cost for this herd has been $1.07 per 100 pounds of milk. The owner of the other herd five miles away Ayas found feeding ev ery cow the same amount of grain and his herd was returning 1.5 pounds of milk for every pound of grain. An analysis of the individual cow records shov/ed that half the herd was producing 1.1 pounds of milk for every pound of grain, or milk at $2.85 per 100 pounds; and the other half was producing 1.8 pounds of milk for every pound of grain, or milk at $1.82 per 100 pounds, showing even in this care lessly fed herd a remarkable dif ference in the returns from the two gruops of cows. X United States To Test Manchurian Soybeans Manchurian soybeans, the chief crop of the Asiatic region for which they are named, are to be given thorough trial in 12 States this year, the United States Department of Agriculture says. The beans, more than 3,000 vari eties of them, were gathered by W. J. Morse of the department, in a 2-year Asiatic plant expedition. Last year the seeds were grown on the Arlington Experiment Farm in Virginia, and this year the varieties will be sent to experiment stations in different regions of the United States to test them under condit ions most nearly like those in Man churia, Japan, Korea, and Formosa, where they grow naturally. The soybeans vary from those which ripen in 78 days to those which re quire 173 or more days to ripen. The States to which the beans will be sent for planting this year are: Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Wisconsin, New York, Indiana, and Massachu setts. Soybean production has increas ed rapidly in the United States in the last few years. In 1929, it was estimated that 886,000 acres were harvested, while in 1931 this figure had jumped to 1,271,000 acres. xxx <.(. I > I J * 9? Economical Dishes Made With Whole Grain Wheat To show some of the less-known uses for whole grain wheat, the Bureau of Home Economics of »,he United States Department of Agri- ; culture has recently made several new combinations of palatable and , inexpensive dishes. Most people think of wheat in the form of flour from which broad and pastries aiv I made, or as prepared breakfast l food. In addition to breakfast porridge, the bureau’s food special- j ists have prepared whole grain wheat in chowder, in meat loaf, with liver and with tomato and fish, in pilau, muffins, pudding, and j cookies. The whole wheat is first cooked in a pressure cooker, in boiling water, over steam, or in the fire less cooker. For convenience in use and for economy of fuel, since most of these methods require a long time, the wheat may be cook ed in rather large quantities and stored in a cold place for several days, or it may be canned and kept for longer periods. The time of cooking and the consistency and appearance of the wheat will de pend somewhat upon whether the wheat is hard or soft, as well as on the method of cooking. To save time and fuel in cooking, the bureau also suggests cracking or crushing the whole wheat in a hand grinder. Some of the feed stores or mills sell cracked wheat as well as the cleaned whole wheat. Cracked whole wheat is especially good in porridge, in meat loaf made with beef or pork, and in muffins and cookies. From the standpoint of nutrition, whole-grain wheat is an economical source of energy and is Important as a good source of vitamin B. The whole grain contains a moderate amount of protein which must be supplemented by proteins from milk, meat, or eggs. Wheat also contains phosphorus, iron, and other minerals. —T XI % Get Facts On Termites And Learn To Control i Bleeding , Grapevines Grapevines will “bleed” if prun~ ed too late in the spring, says the United States Department of Agri culture. Although this bleeding is harmful to the vine, there is no danger of the vine bleeding to death, the department says. The proper time to prune grape vines is in the early spring after danger of very low temperatures has passed and before the buds be gin to swell.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 9.— The sudden swarms of white-wing ed insects which may be seen em erging from old logs, posts, and, more noticeably, from floors, win dow sills, or porches of our houses are the kings and queens of the termite colony, says Alfred Lutken, extension entomologist, who states that each spring hundreds of these reproductive forms issue from the older colonies and set out to find new ones. Many will perish when found by hungry birds, and only a few will find suitable conditions for starting a new colony, these con ditions being wood and moisture, and colonies will be founded wher ever there is untreated wood rest ing on the ground. Discussing the destructive work of termites and their control Mr. Lutken continues: “Subterranean termites are not new pests but are native insects which have always been here, but damage to our dwellings is more noticeable than formerly because houses are built nearer the ground and the enclosed foundations do not have adequate ventilation. Even with no wood resting on the ground, the moist air under the house is so favorable to termite de velopment that colonies may be es tablished under chips or scraps of lumber, and the workers will coon build their earthen tubes over the foundation walls to the sills. “Control of the subterranean termites,” Mr. Lutken states, “is a comparatively simple matter if the home owner will take the trouble to learn something of their habits and the ways in which they reach the sills of the house. Full in formation and instructions for the control of termites can be obtain ed by writing to the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., for Leaflet No. 31, “Termites in Buildings,” and Farmers’ Bulle tin 1472, Preventing Damage by Termites or White Ants.” X Per capita consumption of meat in the United States averages a lit tle more than one-third of a pound a day, reports the Bureau of Ag ricultural Economics. Total per capita consumption of meats last year was 133.2 pounds, an increase j of about one-half pound over 1930. Per capita consumption of various meats for 1931 were: Pork, 69.6; beef, 49.6; veal, 6.9; lamb and mut ton, 7.1. . x A Texas man has a college where 1,500 parrots learn to talk English. 1 1 -O O- -o o- -o DO MR JOB PRINTING We are prepared to do various kinds / of job printing neatly and promptly and solicit your orders for —Ruled Letterheads —Typewriter Letterheads —Noteheads —Billheads —Statements —Envelopes —Posters —Circular Letters —Folders —Business Cards —Visiting Cards ’ —Special Invoices —Day Books —Receipt Books —Tally Sheets —Lumber Tallies ^ ,*• . .
