County Agent's
News Column
(By E. I. Besemer.)
Removing poor .producers from
the cow herd is one of the prin-
cipal steps *toward economical
milk production advocated in the
8 -point dairy program being
sponsored by Michigan State Col-
lege and the dairy processors of.
the state, County Agricultural
Agent E. I. Besemer explains.
Cows that are past their .prime,'.
blemished, difficult to get back in
calf, or just poor producers should
be retired to the stockyards, says;
A. C Baltzer, extension dairymdn
of Michigan State College and
member of the national 8 -point
dairy program committee. He de-
fines a poor producer as one that
is giving less than two gallons
daily while on adequate feed.
Eliminating the poor cows
means saving labor, which is
highly desirable during war years.
One cow required about 150 hours
of labor and management a year.
At prevailing labor wage rates,
returns often do not meet labor
costs, not to mention feed costs
amounting to nearly twice the la-
bor expense. A cow giving 4,500
ocunds or less yearly must devote
six months' production to paying
for a year's labor at 50 cents per
hour. The remaining six months
milk output cannot pay for feed,
so her keep is a loss.
Herd population in Michigan
has increased 11 percent since
1940 to 1,059,00,0 head, but the
,yield per cow is down because too
many low grade cows are being
retained, Baltzer states.
Establishing a new all-time
price record, the grand champion
steer at the 15th annual Michigan
4-H Stock show, held in Detroit
December 12-14, sold at auction
for $1,520 or $1.60 a pound. The
previous high bid was $1.30, re-
ceived several years ago.
The champion, a 950 -pound An-
gus, was owned by Matthew
Woods, Jr., of Marshall, and was
bought by Standard Beef Co., of
Detroit.
The grand champion lamb, a 95 -
pound Southdown owned by Del-
mont Chapman, Jr., of South
Rockwood, brought $2.75 a pound,
The animal was purchased by the
Wolverine Packing Co., Detroit.
The 183 lambs and 140: steers
entered in the show by 2'05 Michi-
gan 4-H club boys and girls, went
under the hammer for approxi-
mately $30,00,0.
Reserve champion steer was a
920 -pound Shorthorn, fed by
George McLachlan, Jr, of Evart,
which sold for 52 cents a pound.
Reserve champion lamb was en-
tered by Duane Davis, of St.
Johns and sold for 60 cents a
pound. Joyce Schlubatis, of Cold-
water, had grand champion lamb
pen, and Keith Shafley, St. Johns
had reserve champion pen.

Blue Comb Disease
Recent research at the Univer-
sity of Connecticut has shown that
potassium compounds help birds re-
cover from the blue comb disease.
Use one level teaspoonful of potas-
sium chloride or a high-grade muri-
ate of potash fertilizer to each Bal-
ton of drinking water for 10 days.
Anyt':ing that causes an acute di-
gestive trouble may give chickens
a blue or darkened comb, say the
specialists. This type of comb may
be associated with contagious or
non--,ontagious conditions. When the
distinct "blue comb" disease ap-
pears, it is well to clean and dis-
infect the poultry house.
Struck Reef
The 13,050 -ton President Grant,
lost in 1944 in the Pacific as a result
of striking a reef, was only 10 miles
from its destination when it met dis-
aster. Formerly the luxury liner
President Adams, the ship was on
the reef for 100 days while crew-
men labored to save it. Success
seemed at hand several times when
storms intervened, interrupting the
salvage work. Finally the ship went
down, although the entire crew was
saved.
Presidential Succession
The 20th amendment to the con-
stitution provides: The vice presi-
dent-elect becomes president if the
president-elect dies before the begin-
ning of the presidential term or the
president-elect fails to qualify, the
vice president-elect acts as presi-
dent until a president does qualify;
congress is given power to provide
for the case where neither a presi-
dent-elect nor a vice president-elect
qualifies.
Prepare for Salvage
Prospective fortunes to be made
from raising sunken vessels are al-
ready prompting salvage companies
to make preparations. Lying all
around the coast of the United King-
dom are ships which can yield enor-
mous sums from scrap metal and
cargoes. Some are easily accessible.
According to reports, a Swedish con-
cern has outfitted a large ice -break-
er to salvage submarines.
Store Cotton
In storing cotton, it is good policy
to put it just in front of the door
of the cotton house. The next after-
noon the cotton can be moved back
just far enough to make room for
the day's picking. Then, on the
third day, it can be moved back
still farther. Turning the cotton in
this way several times allows it to
dry out properly and get in good
condition for ginning.
Window Device
A window over a coal bin can be
shut without clambering over the
coal if a piece of rope or insulated
wire is nailed just above the window
and allowed to dangle below the sill.
After coal is dumped, reach in from
outside, grasp end of rope and pull.

Leads Paratroopers
Maj. Gen. James Gavin, 37, of
Mount Carmel, Pa., commander of
the 82nd Airborne division, has led
his men through combat jumps in
Sicily, Italy, Normandy, and in Hol-
land where the paratroopers aided
in the capture of the Nijmegen

Pointing out the continued need
for even greater food production
curing 1945 than in any previous
,year since the war began, George
A. Brown, head of the department
of animal husbandry, Michigan
State college, has calculated that
Michigan alone has consumed
during 1944 enough food to fill
128,496 freight cars in a train
my slightly less than 1,000 miles
l::ne more than 10 billion pounds.
"It is difficult for many of us to
realize how much we owe the
farmer, and how much we must
c'enend upon him during 1945,"
Brown emphasizes. "We face a
critical year in food production if
we are to meet the tremendous )
needs of the United States, our
allies, the liberated countries, and
the 10 million fighting men.
"Contributing to the difficulties
of maintaining peak production
will be fewer men on farms, ma-
chinery that is past its greatest
usefulness, and the fear of farm-
ers of a repetition of the losses
that occurred at the close of
World War I when prices declin-
ed.
"Every consumer has a vital in-
terest in food production and
should realize fully that all-out
maximum yields might mean
bankruptcy to many farmers un-
less prices are continued at a re-
munerative level. Returns below
the cost of production will bring
future shortages and resultant
high prices."
Mr. Brown stresses that there
^gin he no letdown this year, es-
pecially when one realizes that
production of many staple articles
of food has in the past varied as
much as 50 per cent from year to
year as a result of weather con-
ditions.
He expects the demand for
foodstuffs to continue at a high
level when peace comes, because
of slow demobilization of the huge
armies, and the lack of food in
the wartorn countries.
Loud have been the gripes
about the U. S. sending nylon
.c, e and baby diapers to foreign
countries. U. S. Chamber of Com-
merce's foreign commerce com-
:ni'tee has proposed this cure for
such complaints. Limit lend-lease
operation to munitions and war
materials, including food -stuffs;
-eturn commercial types of export
to private channels.
Since Pearl Harbor the U. S.
Army Air Force h,s trained 163,-
147 pilots (including 5122 glider
ots), 31,293 bombardiers and
31,906 navigators or bombardier-
navl-ators.

- Piping Aboard
The naval ceremony, "piping
aboard," is followed for all officers
and dignitaries of our own and for-
eign countries. It is internationally
observed.
Remove Mildew
If mildew appears on shoes, wash
it off with a thick suds of mild
soap or saddle soap, and when dry,
rub the shoes with floor wax.
Grease Spots
Grease spots can be removed
from work clothes by soaking the
stained areas for half an hour in
kerosene, then washing in hot suds.
Comfortable Garments
Be sure to buy outer garments for
children that are large enough to al-
low active movement and are easy
to put on and take off.
Reduces Damage
Less than half as much bruising
of potato tubers results if a woven
splint, rigid -handle type basket is
used in place of a crate.
Old Psalms
Some of the psalms are supposed
to have been written as long ago
as 900 B. C., others as recently as
the second century B. C.

FORGOTTEN LIGHTS. Do you sometimes leave a light
burning in an unoccupied room? This is not serious
in normal times. But needless use of electricity wastes
coal—and today there is a critical shortage of coal in
many areas of the United States. Your Government
asks you to conserve electricity in home and store and
office. Save wherever you can ... as much as you can.
