The La Creole Fi
We recently made a visit to
the La Creole farm, W. O. Mor­
row, proprietor. We found Mr.
Morrow deep in the baying and
hardly time to talk, although
busy, yet he found time to show
us the best field o f corn we have
seen this year in the w est This
corn was just sixty days from
planting and showed a remark­
able growth.
There are ten
acres o f it and it ia very even
through the field. This corn is
known as Pride o f the North and
is a yellow dent. He uses it for
sileage and doubtless will have a
great crop o f it for this purpose.
We also found a very heavy field
o f flax which Mr. Morrow is
growing and will use the seed in­
stead o f oil cake for his dairy
cattle. We found his herd o f
Jerseys in the pink o f condition
and Morrow’ s Select turning out
a fine flow o f rich milk. She had
been on test from September 1,
1911, and up to July 16th, when
we were there, had made 705.88
pounds o f 85 per cent butter.
This cow is one that is repro­
ducing her good qualities in her
daughters. One o f her heifers,
with the first calf, produced in
147 days, 487 pounds o f butter
fat. This was La Creole carna­
tion. Another La Creole Select
Tose made 363 pounds o f butter-
in 216 days. Mr. Morrow now
has a number of his cows under
official test, having just had
eight of them passed into the A A
class. There are now in his herd
about 50 head, a fine lot of heif­
ers and a few bulls. We found
the young bull Oxford, “ You’ ll
d o.” in fine condition and will
be shown on the circuit this fall.
