COW TESTING

and make sure the milk was test
ed once every thirty days. The
success of this plan will- de
pend upon the r;o 'i9cns.! of the
farmer who cares enough about
the dairy business to keep a
milk record. However, comment
is welcome and everyone is urged
to assist these boys,if and
when they make arrangements to -
test'your herd.
HAY PRICES (con’t )
After me.ny discussions with
people, both dairymen and hay
producers, and in order to be
fair to the man who must buy the
hay as well as the producer, the
Corporation and the Peed Depart
ment at the Warehouse will pay
,!>17o50 a. ton for iJo.l, dry, oat
and pea or oat and vetch hay on
stakes or in the barn. To bring
this price, hay must be dry and
put up in good condition so that
it can be hauled.
It will not be purchased from
people who will need it for their
own livestock and hay will not
be purchased from owners of lin
stock who turn in good quality
stock so that they may sell hay.
We have some very likely looking
young stock which con be socurcd
for anyone who has the feed and
wishes to build up his herd.
Cows with spoiled udders or non
producers will', be butchered as
soon as they are in condition
and there is room in the refrig
erator available.
Livestock taken in by the ARRC
and held over winter will only be
let out to those who show they
are interested in dairying next
spring and not to someone to
milk ttrough the summer and turn
in next fall.
