THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1930 : Withered Past BLAZING SUN DRIES GRASS AND CAUSES PRODUCTION SLUMP Average for. Month Is 25.3 Pounds per Cow, Exten- sion Dairyman Shows NORTHEASTERN GROUP HIGH Walsh and Pembina County Herds Report Average of 31.24 Pounds per Cow ‘Withered pastures and hot weather caused North Dakota cows to skimp on their butterfat production in July, summary of cow testing association reports prepared by E, J. Haslerud, extension dairyman of the Agricul- tural College, shows. In July the 2,- 895 cows in the state's nine testing associations averaged 25.3 pounds:of butterfat in contract to 29.7 pounds | in June. Of the 186 herds tested in July, 110 averaged 25 pounds or more of butter- fat per cow, while 377 cows produced 40 pounds or more each. ‘The Northeastern cow testing as- sociation, which includes herds in Pembina and Walsh counties, was the highest averaging association with 31.24 pounds of butterfat from each of 285 cows in 23 herds. Eighty- one of the cows in this association averaged 40 pounds of butterfat or better, and 18 of the 23 herds pro- duced 25 pounds per cow or better, according to D. F. Zabel, cow tester. ‘With 28.08 pounds of butterfat from each of 205 cows in 16 herds, the Ward County association, of which Floyd C. Almy is tester, placed second. Stutsman County cow testing dairy- men followed with an average of 27.5 Pounds from 333 cows in 16 herds. Albert Midgarden, Northeastern as- sociation; A. A. Mathwick, Ward County, and George D. Broderson, Stutsman County, had the highest testing herds in July with averages of 43.8, 42 and 40.1 pounds respective- ly. Mr. Midgarden also owned the highest producing cow, a purebred Holstein with 85.9 pounds of butterfat to her credit. A Holstein cow owned by the state hospital in Stutsman County made a record of 78.9 pounds. FERTILIZER HELPS RICHLAND FARMER J. B. Goerger Smiles as Manure and Superphosphate Pro- duce Fine Crops A farmer with a smile—that is the way Prof. J. E. Chapman, assistant in soils at North Dakota Agricultural college, describes J. B. Goerger, Rich- land county, N. D., farmer who with the application of a combination of superphosphate fertilizer and barn- yard manure on his farm near Wnyd- mere has the finest looking crops ob- served this season by Mr. Chenman. Corn that stands so high that even a trained agriculturalist mistook it for another variety than Gehu, graced a part of the Goerger farm which is of a Bearden fine sandy loam soil. Where alfalfa wouldn't start in 1925, without saying anything about grow- ing, excellent stands of this noted forage and hay crop now grow. Mr. Goerger’s son was ready to.give up farming because “they couldn't raise alfalfa” back in 1925, so the story goes. Then R. C. Dynes, at that time county agent of Richland county but now assistant county agent lead- ed for the state, came to Mr. Goer- ger's rescue. He suggested applying superphosphate with manure, and the first trial was made in 1926. Now Goerger has good buildings, good crops and a smile. His farming oper- ations as a whole, states Mr. Chap- man, are devoted to the livestock Production end. —_— Farm Facts j | e Lambs infested with stomach worms are thin and unthrifty.

Jacobs, Father of 19,) Comes From Holland to Missouri Slope Area (Tribune Special Service) | _ New England, N. D., Aug. 21—P. G. Jacobs, whose home is in Holland, 15 the father of 19 children, 16 of whom are living. It is some years since the family has been together and as they ‘are scattered upon several different {continents it is seldom he is able to visit them all during one season. But Mr. Jacobs has done well the last year. At the present time he is visiting six of his sons who live south of Regent upon 12 different quarter | sections of Hettinger county land. | With Mr. Jacobs ‘is his son, Father | Leonard Jacobs, who is enjoying a year of rest after five years spent | in British West Africa in charge of a parish extending over 4,000 square miles. Jacobs, the parent, and Father Jacobs left Holland July 4 for Amer- ica, They had hoped to get started | for this country earlier in the year but. remained until after another one of the Jacobs boys, Father Bonaven- tura, took his vows and retired for the remainder of his life in a Trappist monastery in Holland. One of the three daughters of the family is a Sister of Charity, located in France, Don't take Chances. be | SUI Aspirin look for the name BAYER | There is a way to be SURE about the Aspirin you buy.

Bismarck and Mandan and Father Quirlannus, another brother, is a Catholic missionary now working in Brazil. Family on Three Continents From the above it Will be noted that members of the Jacobs family are pretty well scattered over the face of the earth. However, an even half dozen of the sons stick pretty close together in Hettinger county. Jacob, Clarence, Martin, Adrian, John, and | Guy, with their families, each have farms south of Regent. Father Leonard Jacobs talks inter- estingly of his work as a missionary in British West Africa. What North Dakotans termed hot weather the last month meant little to the man who had spent the last five years working near the equator, in a country where distances count for even less than in the wide open spaces of western North Dakota. “I walked for 15 days after leaving the ship until I reached my first lo- cation and started work,” Father Leonard said. Walking, hoWever, is no more lonesome than hitch-hiking in America, for it is usual for this priest to have a dozen black boys go about with him. He says they give their services gladly.. They carry burdens for a week or so, then turn their loads to men from another com- munity and trot back home. Father Leonard says that the people accept the Christian religion readily and labor in building churches and missions. However, the Catholic church’s ideas on marriage are not popular with the kings of the country, one of whom has 500 wives. Wives Cost 20 Goats Twenty goats is the usual price paid for a wife in British West Africa. Those who have good success raising goats have plenty of wives. Some of the wives who are farther down the list in popularity, and feel that they are being neglected, go to the mission where they receive protection. Even kings lose wives for which they have paid the customary 20 goats, and are unable to get them back, for the mis- sions have the protection of the Brit- ish government. In this way women are being given some rights even in the dark Congo. Hundreds have married men of their own choice in- stead of being sold out of single bless- edness by doting parents. The usual length of time a white man can remain in British West Africa is 18 months, but Father Leon- ard, sent out from Mary Hill mission in London, remained in that tropical country for five years, and he is going back next year for another term of work. He still would be at his work there but for a wound ‘hp received and which failed to heal in the hot country. During the five years in Africa Father Leonard saw ‘few white per- sons. All in his district are negroes with the exception of three mission- aries for Protestant societies, who also are carrying on successful work, he says. Born Hitch-hikers The natives become devout in their religion, Father Leonard says. Hun- dreds of them walk for four or five weeks in order to get to the mission to take part in the services on special occasions sucth as Christmas or Easter, he says. Tt may be several summers pefore P. G. Jacobs sees as many of his children as he has been able to visit this summer, and the parting, which is soon to come when he starts for his home in Holland, will bea sad one. However, in spite of short crops. this has been a good season for the half | dozen Jacobs boys who reside in Het- tinger county. NEW VARIETY SWEET CORN BEATS BANTAM BY 28 DAYS A sweet corn which is 17 to 28 days earlier than Golden Bantam has been originated and produced by Prof. A. F. Yeager, horticulturist at North Dakota Agricultural college. Its stalks |stand four feet high while the yellow kerneled ears produce on the average lof eight rows to the cob. A check 'shows that the number of ears of this new variety per acre exceed the amount produced in Golden Bantam which is one of its grandparents. Golden Bantam is a selection from a cross of Sunshine and Pickaninny (early black corn), states Professor Yeager. Sunshine was produced by Mr. Yeager several years ago from a cross with Golden.
