Modem Milking of Live Cows Featured
At First International Dairy Show
The flow of milk, from cow to cooler, will be demonstrated right
before the eyes of visitors at the First International Dairy Show in
Chicago’s International Amphitheater, October 10-17.
A modem Surge milking parlor, featuring real, live cows being
milked at regular intervals in elevated stalls, is equipped with trans
parent glass pipes or experimental transparent pails so that spec
tators can see the milk flowing from cow to pail or tank.
This Surge milking parlor, which has drawn thousands of viewers
at State and County fairs this summer, is one of the many recent
developments in mechanical cow milking being exhibited at the First
International Dairy Show.

CONSERVATION
NOTES
LEW E. HANKS
It has been some weeks since
I have had a chance to chat with
you. I’ve been on leave from the
Soil Conservation Service har
vesting crops.
We had a mean wind last week.
It is unfortunately only a sample
of what we can expect later. This
is the only area I know of where
the worst erosion period comes
in the dead of winter when you
would normally expect every
thing outside to be frozen down
solid. Farmers are doing a good
job in most phases of conser
vation. Very little top soil goes
into the stump rows now during
clearing operations. Use of ferti
lizers, green manures and crop
rotations are standard practices.
Grass farming is spreading rapid
ly. Water or gully erosion is no
problem. We still have a lot of
answers to get though on wind
erosion.
There seems to be no one ans
wer or method. Wind breaks
PARCEL POST
RATES INCREASED
An increase in the cost of par
cel post mailing went into effect
October 1, to join other cost-of
living increases.
The increases are expected to
put the parcel post service cn a
paying basis, bringing in $153,
500,000 a year. They will average
36 per cent.
help but won’t do the whole job.
We’re going to do some work
on temporary snow fencing and
snow ridging again this year.
Brush rows placed across fields
where wind cutting is worst will
help. Mulch type cultivation of
green manure crops and no fall
planting also help.
Take a look at those spots
in your row cropped fields where
soil blows. There aren’t many.
You know where they are. Drag
some heavy brush in to protect
them. It’s worth it. If we can lick
this wind erosion problem we
will have a lot of waste farmland
in half the time.
