Heiser, head of the dairy department at the University of Wisconsin, save it very interesting talk at the annual meeting of the | Northern Illinois Breeding / Co-op last Tuesday afterndon. In fact, it was so interesting that Lawrence Crone and Harold Hager of Harvard, who were sitting on the front ..row,' didn't fall $sleep once. Heiser said that, according, to -- iistoyy, a cow prodaoed 691 pounds Irf. fat ninety-eight years ago. At .Wat time the milk was cooled in shallow pans and the fat akimftiea off and weighed. In 1880 to 1890 there were many such high records. In 1896 Dr..Babcock Invented the •jBabowk test for testing the hut- *^lerfat in milk and any records after that were not near as high. S> cow came up to the previous cords until 1917. He said that the dairy industry has learned how to breed 600 pfrund butterfat cows but few 600 pouni dairymen. Many cows that •ire capable of quite high production never get a chance. In speaking of heredity he said dfthat any time a black angus bull la crossed with a holstein cow a black calf with no horns results. That is a simple inherited characteristic that is very dominant but characteristics that make for increased butterfat production within one dairy breed are much more Complex and their chances of bein# expressed everytlme are relatively low. . "By the way", he said, "put '* it IfcPBe black calves in the locker before they get too old. About 3,000 pounds of milk is all you can expect from one of them in one lacf ; • tiAional." . ; ,He said that environment has relatively little to do with milk production. He said their Wisconsin experimental herd in their open loafing shed and milking parlor did not drop appreciably in, proeduction during the recent 35 bellow weather. One statement he made I really think should be remembered well by every dairyman in McHenry county and that was: "To control disease effectively keep the movement of cattle off the farm rather than on to it." Jack Wirth. local Income tax expert, says that is the best way for a farmer to stay in the income tax paying bracket. • Above aM the money many dairymen make is the value their-ealveagrow into. By buying mature cows, to milk they start depreciating from the day they buy them and many co#s can hardly produce enough milk over feed and labor cost to pay for that depreciation. The above !s so very important »• a business principle in making money that every dairyman should cut it out and paste it up where he ^can read it once a day until he ^ knows it J>y heart, and more lmport ant, understands it / There are too many farmers who Liknever heard of the term deprecia- I (ton except as a desirable item in their income tax return which will help cut down on the amount of tax they will have to pay. depreciation and appreciation are two exact opposltes. One is a stone around one man's neck while the other catapults another into Wealth. Getting back to Hetser.--He said many bulls are getting undue credit for, increased production of daughters over their dams when much of it should go to our improved pastures, grass silage and improved methods of making hay. He reported a book he had, written in England about 300 years agp, in which the author stated that half a cow's heridity goes down her neck. He said his young assistant has been doing some close studying on certain herds and brought out this interesting comparison: Two herds were studied. One had a 339 pound fat average and the other a 517 pound average. Comparing the bulls used and the blood \ lines of the cows' dams, there was only 35 pounds difference in the herds in favor of the high herd so far as herdity w»^ concerned. What then, made the difference? the high herd was receiving 1,200 pounds of total digestible nutrients per head per year more than the low herd and much of this was in the difference in the quality of hay. It has been- reported to me by infallible sources that owner-sampler tested dairy herds In Wisconsin average about 100 pounds of fat per cow above official D.H.I.A. tested herds. Records should be watched so that they are official D.H.I.A. if used in purchasin breeding cattle. Heiser finished up with a theoretical problem, to show how minor genetics can be by taking theoretical herds for a study with Identical genetics By doing everything wrong possible in one herd so far as feeding and mahaggment is concerned, the average fat production would be 96 pounds. Another herd with average feeding and conditions would produce 418 pounds of fat per cow and a third herd could be made to produce pounds with heavy feeding! OrMra.

For although March isn't thought of as a time when farmers are doing particularly dangerous tasks, twelve Illinois farmers lost their lives in farm accidents during March last year, according to John Lake, safety director for the Illinois Agricultural Association. In addition, Lake said, five other farm folks were permanently disabled by accidents during March 1950, and forty-seven others were injured seriously. "This demonstrates that accidents know no season," said the IfA safety director. "Farmers must follow all the safety rules they know to avoid mishaps. The IAA is the statewide Farm Bureau organization with 179,000 farm families as members. Death from burns took the biggest'toll of farm folks in March last year, killing five j persons. Lake said. Two perefriuT died from accidental gunshot wounds. Ope person was killed by a power saw, one died from drowning, another was killed when a tree fell on him, a fuel oil explosion killed another, and another person was killed when he became entangled In a tractor-driven grinder. Accidents with power saws also left two persons with permanent injuries, Lake reported.

County In Bonds For Month Told Folks in the smaller Illinois towns and the communities in city neighborhood areas are leading the way in the revival of many of the plans which featured t'.S. bond drives in the second World War. Reports from many county defense bond units reaching U.S. Treasury defense bond headquarters in Chicago show the people realise a national gency exists, that pre must be made to combat It that these preparations must paid for. Arnold J. Hauen of Pistakee Baft state director, cited the receU^ example set by the town of N11SS» Cook county. The Police and Firs departments of this community staged a defense bond rally wHfT all the old-time enthusiasm. ports said virtually all who coul# turned out for the event. Many dd» fense bond sales were pledged. The local newspaper put out % special 8-page issue for^the affair. Investments in this/bounty W January in all,typeSt-dWfrnise bond* were $118,421, it was reported la Chicago. "E" bond investments l|l the county were $87,481; "W bonds, $740; and "G" bonds, $3Q> 200. In Illinois, $44,551,915 were vested in defense bonds in Januar$i compared with $74,191,529 in January, 1950. May 1 marks the tenth anaivet^ sary of the first israance of 41# Series WE" bonds, Rauen said. SKILLED HANDS GUARD J YOUR HEALTH Skilled hands guard your health at our drtlg store.
