Breeders' Assn. News
(This columa is devoted to all
news pertaining .to the promotion
of the dairy industry of the Val
ley.) .....
By ERNEST H. HARRINGTON
President
THERE WAS a surprisingly
good turnout-, at our last meeting,
i nspite of, the terrific storm.
Parker Lester showed some
very good movies of dairy opera
tions. He also showed us some
literature he had received from a
tire manufacturing company, de
scribing a rubberized cover for
silage, to be put on after filling >
the silo. It keeps the silage from!
spoiling, and it seemed to be aj
very practical item. Mr. Lester!
thougnt also it might be used to!
keep silage from freezing.
WE DECIDED, at this meeting,
to postpone election of officers
until next month, because our
secretary was not present. (He
was snow bound).
However we heard our treas
urer’s report, from which we i
fcund our organization was in j
good shape, financially.
THERE WAS some discussionj
of the effects of artificial lighting
during the dark winter months.!
Mr. Sweetman stated that there
was a marked increase in the
conceivability of cows in herds 1
where lights were used as direct
ed.
One member was certain he j
also got better production when
lights were usd. I am inclined to
agree with him. Besides these
two benefits from use of lights, I
am sure it helps in sustaining the ;
health of the growing calves.
So, it seems to me, we cannot j!
go wrong by leaving the lights
on from the time we get to the
farm in the morning until our '
chores are completed at night (in j,
my case, that means 14 hours), i'
Start w-ith the lights in the first •!
part of November and continue :
using them through January.

KODIAK, TOO, IS
WATERLESS NOW
More than 3,000' feet of fir*
hose was drafted for emergent}
duty in Kodiak last week, wher
the city’s regular and emergency
water supplies both failed, ko
diak homes went completely wa
terless for several hours.
The fire hose was connected
with an emergency pumping sta
tion to bring water from a nearby
lake. Meanwhile, Kodakians went
on a strictly rationed schedule
Housewives were urged to take a
week off—to skip scrubbing the
floors and to let dishes pile up
to be washed only once a day.
Health officers warned that all
drinking water - must be boiled,
i kut that it would be an even bet
i ter idea not to drink any water at
all. Grocers and dealers in
I fluids other than water were pre
paring for record sales during the
drought period.
The Kodiak hospital was re
ceiving its water supply from the
Navy base by way of tanker
trucks.
A big freeze following weeks of
no rain brought on the Kodiak
emergency.
