Vaudeville and pictures at the Em- McHenry county is richer yearly by $1,000,000 because of the soil fertility produced as a by-product of dairying, according to the Blue Valley creamery institute. The figure is based on data resulting from many carefully kept records on a considerable number of farms. The average quantity of manure recovered for use on crop lands in the area studied was 7.4 tons per cow and since the fertilizing value of a ton of manure is $2.60 the by-product of each cow is approximately $20.00. The application of this figure to the 50,000 dairy cattle in this country brings the total added value to the soil fertility here to the almost unbelievable figure given above. In keeping with its better feeding program the institute estimates that from 25 to 50 per cent greater profit from each ton of feed can be made by local farmers who milk cows thru improved feeding methods alone.
