AiniiORlTES ON SUBJECT.
Silage Well Adapted to Union County
Conditions Favorable Comparison
. . With Eastern Results.
L. Lindgren, extension unimal hus-
baudrymau, wis one of the principle
speakers at the Farm Week meeting
in the city hnll this morning. He gave
the assembled farmers data on feed
ing cattle in Colorado, pointing out the
results obtained from experiments
with various feeds, laying special
stress on the feeds that arc raised in
large quantities in Union county.
Paul Spillman, county agent discuss
cd feeding silage and compared re
sults at the Union ex-ninicnl sta
tion with those in similar stations in
the middle western states. Mr. Spill
man showed that, although the gener
al opinion is that the eastern stutes
find that silage is moi-e adapted there
than in the western states, tho results
at the Union station show' that silnge
is equally economical and desirable
from other points of view in this sec
tion of the country.
Speakers This Afternoon.
This afternoon. Robcrt Withyenrntic,
director of the Union experiment sta
tion, will present data on feeding
which will show the results of the ex
periments carried on there un 'er hi
super.-ision. Dr. W, H. Lytle, n'nte
veterinarian, is also on this after
noon's program. He will discuss dls
eases of livestock. 1 .
Tomorrow is poultry d'iy.- Feeding,
cuiling and marketing will be discus
sed. Feeding of dairy cattle, their breed-
dairy farmers must solve were the
I main topics touched on yesterday af
'tomoon. The principle spe-.ikors were
'Professor E. B. Fitts, who spoke on
breeding and feeding dairy cnttle. and
Paul Mehl, of the U. S. bureau of mar
kets, who spoke on the marketing
problems. Mr. Mehl enmo here in
place of Fred Mcrril, of the Dairy
.council of Portland, who was unable
to icome yesterday.
Good cows are necessary if the
d-iiry is to be profitable, Professor
Fitts said. These are only secured
through the use of good sires and es
pecially those from ancestors of n
known milk of butterfnt producing ca
pacity. In building up a grade herd,
besides the use of purebred sires, It
is desirable to raise only heifers from
tho best cows, he said. The only way
known in which cows can be relied on
for a sure profit is to weigh the milk
and test it daily.
silage Necessary.
In feeding tor economic buticnat
or milk production, it is not possible
to secure the best results without sil
age or roots as a part of tho ration,
he continued. In sections where there
js pl,.iy 0 alfalfa hay, as in Union
'couty, the ordinary run of cows cun
bc best fed on silage und alfalfa hay,
providing both are of good quality
und are fed liberally.
The food value of milk was also dis
cussed. It was brought out that chil
dren do not attain the same physical
development without milk which would
I be att iined if the diet included milk
as one of its principal parts. Stutis-
undcrnuurishsd.
Cooperative Marketing.
TJie theme of Mr. Mehl's talk was
cooperative marketing, lie referred
especially to the marketing of dairy
products nnd reviewed the work done
in this state along that line' and point
ed out the underlying principles. .Co
operative marketing must be carried
on in the same manner nnd the same
business principles applied that "bi:;"
business uses. Short time cotractn.
he said, were fatal to cooperative mar
keting efforts.
Ah informal discussion of the many
factors entering into the price of
wheat was also pail of ycslerd iy's
program. -
