CRISIS IN BUTTER IS LAID 10 SLUMP || SIDE GLANCES IN CONSIMPTN Editor Glover Tells Producers: Their Trouble Is Not in Overproduction COW FUTURE FARM FACTOR, Experience of Wisconsin in} Making Diversification Suc- cess Is Reviewed —_— i rather than overproduction are responsible for | Underconsumption the low price of butter now prevail- | ing, A. J. Glover, Fort Atkinson, Wis.) ‘editor of a dairy magazine, said in an{ address to the North Dakota Dairy- men’s convention here, today. Citing the history of the dairy in- dustry in Wiseonsin from 1872 to the present, Glover said it now produces almost as much as it used to produce annually. He held out the same prospect to North Dakota if it follows the lead of other states, abandon the one-crop system of farming and turns "to livestock as its best means of ag- ricultural salvation. Glover said the period of agricul- tural depression which has prevailed in recent years has been less keenly felt in Wisconsin than in most cther agricultural states and for this fact he gave credit to the dairy cow. Cows Enriches Land The dairy farmer, he said, has been | better organized, has given more at-/ tention to marketing products, has; ‘studied his industry closer and has placed himself in position to take care of seasonable surplus and otherwise | looked after the welfare of his own industry. Because of the cow, he said, the land once depleted by grain farming now is richer than ever and it pro- duces more corn, barley and other grains than when first brought under cultivation. Legume crops such as alfalfa and clovers, do well in Wisconsin and have helped make the dairy industry Profitable at the same time they en- riched the soil, Glover said. He pointed out that alfalfa hay sells for from $20 to $25 a ton in Wisconsin, where as in sections where dairy cows are few, particularly in the West, it sells for only $5 to $10 a ton. From this it is apparent, he said, that the dairy cow not only provides a market for hay but advances its price. Cow Factor of Farming Future In the south. Glover said, as much as 300 pounds of cottonseed meal is used for fertilizers on one acre. In- stead of this, he said. the dairymen “sell his cottonseed and linseed meal, bran, corn and other crops to his cows ard they “hand him back a large part of all the elements needed for his soil. The cow utilizes feeds that are wasted on the farm without her. The cornstalk, which contains; rom. r cent of the feeding | Foley's Honey and s 7 ld curative demulcent virtues into di- | value of the corn plant, is wasted in many sections. Plowing under the cornstalks enriches the land, but it is better to feed them to the cows and *then return them to the soil. dairy industry, Glover said: “When we consider the relation that the cow bears to the land and what the soil means fo the people. how the cow utilizes waste that would not bring the farmer any re- turn without her; how she increases the farm value of other products; how she adds to the price of hay on the farm; how she is the most economical o_O | Weather Report ! ‘Temperature at 7 a Highest yesterday Precipitation t Highest wind ¥ GENERAL STATIONS: Bismarck, N.

As we go forward in this country and become more intelligent about our diets, the dairy cow will hold a still more prominent place in agriculture.” Fewer Cows, More Butter Citing progress made by dairymen in improving their herds, Glover said there are 1,500,000 fewer cows now than 10 years ago but that they are feeding 18,000,000 more people who are consuming 33 per cent more milk. Averring that “labor conditions are more responsible for the slump in butter prices than any other one fac- tor,” Glover said the consumption of butter decreased 22,000,000 pounds in 1929. He urged that the condition which now “temporarily exists” be met by selling off unprofitable cows and that farmers eat butter instead of a butter substitute. Hogs are a good supplement to the dairy farm, Glover said, since skim milk and corn or barley provide an excellent hog ration and the swine and dairy industries very often go hand in hand to bring dollars into the farmers pocket.

Watt Tells Dairymen of Success of Prairie Refrigeration Belief that “ice wells” will prove a satisfactory means of refrigeration on many farms where other methods are impracticable was expressed by A. L. Watt in an address before the North Dakota State Dairymen’s association in convention here today. Watt ts superintendent of the United States Northern Great Plains dairy station, situated near Mandan. Discussing the ice well which was built at the dairy station in the fall of 1928 and used throughout the sum- mer of 1929, Watt said national and international interest had been cre- ated in this unique method of refrig- eration. During the past year more than 1,000 persons visited the dairy station, primarily to see the ice well, Watt said. The ice well has been tried to some extent on dairy farms in Canada, he said, but so far as known no informa- tion regarding its adaption in the United States has heretofore been available.

The meeting was arranged by 30 members of the Legion and its Auxil- jary who are stationed at the hospital. Members of the Jamestown post and Auxiliary were invited to attend. Department officers also will be speakers at a meeting to be held Wed- nesday night at Valley City.

Formed in Earth Pit Describing its construction and the results noted, Watt said: “On a well drained spot near the milk house and convienient to the well, a pit was dug eight feet Square and nine and one-half feet deep. The \sides were boarded up with cheap lumber and the bottom covered to a depth of 18 inches with coarse gravel |to insure good drainage. A small floor was of two thicknesses of one inch flooring with three thicknesses at of building paper between the layers and it was built in sections to permit easy removal during Win- dows in the house provided air cir- head served for raising and lowering the cans of cream and other food Products held in storage. hk. “Freezing was started in January, 1929. A small quantity of water was sprinkled or thrown into the pit @ number of times each day. Some dif- ficulty was experienced before the first layer of ice was formed, because the water drained out so rapidly. This by freezing a layer of slush in the bottom. By the end of February, however, there was a solid cake of ice eight feet square by six and one-half feet deep. When freezing weather was over, the house was closed tight- ly and the floor replaced. Ice Lasted to Near October “Storage of cream was started on May 25. The ice block lasted until September 28. Considering the num- ber of times that the trap door was opened during the summer to show visitors the ice block and to lower and raise the rack holding the cream cans and food, we believe that the ice well gave very satisfactory and worth- while service. “Careful records were kept through- out the summer. Cream cooled with well water to 56.5 degrees fahrenheit and placed on the rack in the pit at 8:30 a. m. was cooled to 48 degrees within three hours and to 42 degrees by 4:30 p. m. Cream in cans placed directly on the ice was cooled to 34| the degrees in the same period. “Cream was kept in a perfectly sweet condition for 14 days during July, the hottest part of the summer. The temperature in the pit from one inch to one foot above the ice in- creased from 32 degrees to 50 degrees but was never higher than the latter figure and very seldom higher than from 45 to 48 degrees. Temperatures were taken throughout the summer with a thermograph. “The mean average temperature for this region for June, July and August was 62.9, 75.6 and’ 70.6 degrees, re- spectively. The ‘highest recorded temperature for the three months was 106 degrees in July. During 14 days in July and ten days in August the maximum temperature was 90 de- “Meat, fruit and vegetables, as well as milk and cream, were stored in the pit and kept perfectly.
