Besides, the same persons own 30,000 fowls on which the poultry results are based. All of these stockmen have for several years--an average of nine--used purebred sires to head their herds and flocks.

While there are numerous similar cases and frequent greater successes, tho general averages mentioned are presented as the beat indication of Profits to be reasonably espected. Briefly, good purehrede are sMie efficient than other stock, but their earning power In each case depends 00 two chief factors--(1) Their own quality,, and (2) the human factor, especially skill in management. The evidence gathered by the Department sbowa that live-stock owners are becoming more and more insistent on records of production as a means of distinguishing desirable purebreds from those of less merit. The inquiry shows that for the moat part purebred animals of good typo are readily obtainable. But special requirements or a desire for the less common breeds generally Involve soma difficulties and higher prices. About $8 per c&u of ft© purebred live-stock owners reporting to the Department were satisfied both with the purebreds themselves and the progeny, except when they expressed the desire for still better stock. As one breeder explained, the desjrfl* for improvement is necessary for progress. A few had unfortunate experience with purebreds of Interior quality and pointed out the need for making selections with great care. Practically all reports agreed on the principle that superior quality among purebreds themselves is Invariably worth a higher cost.

A small proportion of the remaining females are scrubs, the others being grades and crossbreds. Thus the persons, furnishing the Department with their experiences were In a position to supply dependable Information. Figures Are Conservative. The figures mentioned were obtained during the last part of 1921 In a period of marked depression In the livestock Industry. Partly for that reason they are considered conservative even though pointing to an unusually high value of purebreds over common stock. The purpose of obtaining this new Information was to supply an Increasing demand for facts of greater scope than Single short-time observations. With the development of the Federal- State campaign for "Better Sires-- Better Stock" the Department has received an unusually large number of requests asking what purebreds can do for the man who does not aspire to become a specialized breeder. "What can I expect from purebred sires, or from both purebred sires and dams, as a utility proposition?" That Is essentially what scores of thoughtful people want to know. Superiority of Purebreds. The superiority, based on utility, of purebred over common stock Is evident frotfi'tfce ftiilowta« figures: the reports. • Following Is a brief summary of the study to be dealt with more fully In a circular which the Department Is preparing for publication. Summary. 1. Baaed on utility alone (entirely apart from breeding or sales value) purebred live stock has an earning power from a third to one-half greater than scrub stock. The average superiority of purebreds over scrubs for all classes of farm animals Is about 40 per cent 2. Of the principal points In which purebreds excel other stock, the most prominent are: Superiority and uniformity In conformation and type, greater sale value, greater and . mora economical production, and earlier maturity. 8.

The progeny of purebred sires has practically a SO per cent greater sale value than the progeny of nonpurebreds. 6. Purebred sires of good quality are readily obtainable In the experience of three-fourths of the breeders reporting. The principal difficulties are: Paying the price and finding the desirable type, but there is practically unanimous agreement that the results Justify the cost. 7.
