mohawk dam lunch at the mohican state forest and visits to the famous blubaugh and malabar farms and in the evening three hours were spent at the northern ohio artifi cial breeding unit at tiffen at this latter point they have a stud which includes batteries of hol- stelns jerseys guernseys brown swiss ayrshires shorthorns an gus and hereford sires in 1849 they bred 68000 cows and recent ly initiated shipping semen out by plane to branch units two to three hundred miles from headquarters however the visits to blubaugh and malabar- farms were the high lights of a splendid programme the group was particularly impres sed at the first point where the owner cosmos blubaugh the grand old mdn of ohio agricul ture told his story to the group mr blubaugh bought the badly rundown 140 acre farm in 1924 for s4400 his total capital was 10200 which indicates that he started from scratch his livestock the first year consisted of three cows three horses and some thirtyodd sheep that the fertility level was very low is substantiated by the tact that despite the fact that he and his two sons cut and haul ed in all available hay off the sur rounding 1200 acres he still had to buy three loads of hay to carry his livestock over winter the farm is very rolling shaped more or less like a bowl and here con tour plowing and cultivation and strip cropping is a must mr blu baugh gives a good deal of credit to his county agent soils specialist and officials ot the experimental station for his success strawberries and raspberries helped to tide him over the earlier years while he undertook to build up his land field by field that he has succee ded will be realized when we tell you that he had just completed filling a ten by twentyfive foot silo with grass silage oft- three and a half acres today he and his two sons own and operate over 300 acres of which some 40 acres is in orchard a visit to his black rasp berry plantation amazed everyone never ha anyone in the seventy

nmmwiq niouly on tours to enjoy darlings jawsswm outlining scientific tacts to back up his new agriculture he pointed out that when he took over the farms at malabar they were deser ted and run down the people who had owned them could not make a living and had left one hundred acres would not feed five cows for four months he said today mala bar feeds scores of cattle and the hay crop is so heavy some of it is used for bedding what we have done here is not an operation which any farmer could not do stated mr bromfield he further stated that ignorant traditional and greedy agriculture had reduced the productivity of many farms to a low level tjhc form of agricul ture carried out at malabar and which he recommended to formers not only remedied that condition hut had built up the soil to such a high degree in minerals and plant food that concentrates and mineral boxes in the cattle pens were not needed he said that mineral boxes were there but the cattle rarely touched them deriving all the trace minerals necessary for production end health from the hay grass ail- oac and pastures he further stated that for several years a vcterihar- ian had not been required at the farm except in the case of accident or for testing the health of the cattle at malabartsas the soils fer tility was built un likewise in creased until both 1 were now at maximum s green geld we have lots of grass at mala bar and it is grass which makes our money we buy no supple ments and no cows with the ex ception of those milking receive grain other than that mixed into the silage at time of filling mr bromfield stated that with the grasses and legumes grown at malabar milk production differed very little from summer through fall winter and spring he is a great booster for alfalfa he said it opened up the soil added fertility and was considered the leading legume at malabar in next weeks column we shall try t6 present some of the high lights of soli building at malabar friday saturday june 30
