The New Salem Holstein Breeders circuit, which has been in operation for many years, is one ofthe most famous dairy centers in the Northwest. John Christianson is president. There are 17 herds ii’ the circuit, representing | an investment of several hundred thousands of dollars. The circuit hires an expert. inspector whose. duty it is to visit all of the herds in the dis- trict, giving expert advice, test cows for butter-fat production, tybercnlosis, etc. % Trying to Buy Helfer. That the dairy busiaess had proved profitable is indicated by the increase of fine cattle in_the circuit. A Bur- leigh county, Hdwtein fancier recently visited New ‘Salem, gave a friend who knows good cattle $400 and asked him to go out and buy him a heifer. Ac: cording to the story told by the Bur- leigh county man, his friend visited every farm on the circuit but was un- able to buy a heifer as cheap as $409. Some of the cows have a record of production of over $200 a year and are valued in the thousands. The tour is being arranged by the animal husbandry department ox the state agricultural college, 1n conjunc- tion with New Salem men and circuit officers. The New Salem Journal, speaks of what may be learned on the tour_as follows: “A number of farms will be visited; and members of the circuit will ex-j plain to the visitors how the circuit hag built up butterfat producing herds| by keeping records of feed and produc- | tion; how the origina! members turn- ed from wheat farming to dairying, ‘how they keep their proven. sires in service until they afe 12:and 14 years of age; how they manufacture.and sell butter co-operatively, and pugchase silos, milking ,machines and” other equipment co-operatively.” POSSE TRACKS DOW BANDIT Green Bay, Wis., July 16—Posses | beth Preston Anderson, state president BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921 PRICE FIVE CENTS Washington, July 16.—(By As- sociated Press.)—A blue-pencilled « _ congressional record appeared to-~ ~ day with its account of the per- sonal clash yesterday in the Sen- ate over recommittal of the. sol- diers’ bonus bill heavily censored.

The: rust increase means a spotted crop in the eastern part of the state, in some cases fields which were expected to go 30 bushels an acre will now yield but one-third, it is said. The extreme southwestern part of the state and the northwestern part promise good yield, ‘the weather bureau advices say.
