Dean Cost of Butterfat The Oregon Experiment Station has recently completed an exhaustive study of the cost of producing but terfat. While these studies were for Willamette Valley conditions they bring out certain truths which apply to our conditions. It was found that the average production requirement per pound of butterfat, covering some 1500 cows, was suc culentg, 34 pounds; hay, 18 pounds; grain and millfeed, 8 pounds; labor, 15 minutes. These feeds gave a bet ter balanced ration than we usuall feed. The more nearly a ration is balanced to the cows' requirements tho more economical is the produe Hon so it is likely that the total nui'rients required to pr yduce a pound of butterfat under our conditions where in general we do not feed sue CUlenta or grain, is rather high The limiting factor in our dairy sue cess now is feeding. Until we havi root crops or silage for winter feet' and pastures for summer the ultl mate success of the dairy Industry, is doubtful. lor some ilace on the coast the) will work this summer.
