EERE ao one PAGE FOUR COW TESTING SHOWS WHICH ANIMALS PAY Cows in Flasher Circuit Show Average Production of 258 | Pounds Last Year North Dakota farmers would make $28,000,000 more from their dairy cows | each year if all cows were tested for production and inferior animals re: placed with good ones, according to A. M. Challey, dairy extension work-| er of the North Dakota Agricultural college. i} Mr. Challey bases his estimate on the actual records of the members of the Flasher Cow Testing association, showing an average production of 268 pounds of butterfat per cow last year, whereas the average for all cows milked in the state was only 140 pounds. At 40 cents per pound for butterfat, the average cow produces $63.85 worth of butterfat in a year at a feed cost, uccording to farmers’ records, of $24.44, leaving an income ubove feed cost of $39.41. With u production of from to 300 pounds, the Flasher cows produced butterfat in 1925 valued at $126.18 each with wn average feed cost of $33.83, leaving an income above feed cost of $92.35 per cow. cows gave an uverage return above the average for all cows in the state. The number of cows kept for milk in the state is 530,000, and all produced as well as t cows, the increased income above feed cost would amount to $28,068,2 Six Tenting Associations There are six regular cow testing associations in the state with 1,464 cows on test. In addition, 1,248 cows have been tested for a year or more through modified testing systems, cows on test, cent of all the ted with Mr. Challey has coop county extension agents in thi during the past seven cow testing Mlinois plan, and the members now have on test 1,850 cows. Under this the expense of testing neg- , as the farmers take their own samples and forward t to a cen tral point for testing, thus eliminat- ing the expense of a tester paid to isit the farm. ‘esting of each cow for the amount of milk produced and the per- centage of butterfat and elimination of the l:w producing animals is the only wi, that 0 farmer can realize the mas.mum profit from his herd, Mr. Challey declares. “The differ- ence in the cost of keeping a good cow und a poor one is very small. The difference in the return from a good cow and a poor cow is very large. Feed Cost Figures “For example, the average feed cost for cows producing less than 150 pounds of butterfat is almost two-thirds as much as the feed cost for cows producing 250 to 300 pounds of butterfat. “The value of ali butterfat pro-} duced in North Dakota in a rat the rate, of 40 cents per pound av present would $29,680,000, since there are 530,000 cows averaging 140 pounds. If the cows averaged as well ws those in the Flasher association, the same number would produce but- terfat valued at $54,696,000, “The return ubove feed cost, on the 140-pound basis, amounts to $20,885,- 0 in a year. On the basis of the higher producing cows, the return above feed cost would be $48,945,500, or more than twice us much. “'The experiences of the members these cow testing associations ches a lesson applicable to all ities. Inereased production does not necessarily mean increused profit. Efficiency in pro- dugtion essential for maximum profit.” agricultural =u is Traffic Regulation Is Discussion Topic in Advisory Groups Discussion of reguiation of traffic in the halls of Mandan high school has been taken up by the student couneil and various advisory groups of the school in an effort to solve the problems a 1 from between class periods. ‘The plan suggested is to have each udvisory group choose one member to be in the halls between periods and. cooperate with members of the faculty to see that running and jost- ling are stopped. The adoption of the point system to regulate, guide and control stu- dent participation in extra curricular activiti has also been a top discussion in the advisory groups, al- though no definite decision has as yet been reached. Under this sys- tem, students would be awarded points for each activity in which they participate and would be limited to a definite number of points, thus giving more students a chance to take part and hold office in extra- curricular activities. The plan has been worked out in other Northwest high schools and has proved highly effective.

Nor are they enthusiastic about paying $3.50 for $2.50 gold ieces, regardless of the design. Profit’ from special coins struck for the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition | recently amounted to slightly more then $125.00, | The coins were minted last May.) One milton of the silver pieces were turned out while 200,000 of the gold] pieces were made. A check a short| time ago revealed that about 150,000; of the half-dollars and 50,000 of the $2.50 gold pieces had been disposed of. The minting of the silver pieces created a precedent, marking — the first time that the likeness of a liv- ine president appeared on a national coin. Unsold pieces will be remelt- ed at the mint.

American industrial plants, ‘ware- houses, merchandise stocks which were destroyed or seized by German military authorities in the war ares, constitute some of the numerous other items in the catalogue of American claims. for Value of Prosperity The original value of German private property seized by the United States is estimated by German offi- clals as exceeding $500,000,000. Large parts of those assets have been released by the alien property custo- dian, either because they were held iNegally or belonged to neutrals or residents in former German terri- tory which was lost to Germany through the treaty of Versailles.

Responding to a query, the heads | of five institutions said that while social activities properly have a place in the life of their students, the of- ficial attitude is that intellectual pursuits ‘should constitute the main | purpose of the student bodies.
