EFFICIENCY MOST VITAL NEED OF DAIRY INDUSTRY SOMETHING FOR THE OLD BOY TO THINK ABOUT Mllclency moro production -per cow mid moro ouonomy In production to match, the high land valuoa and coat of labor and equipment and coat of food Ih the moitt vital nood of tho dnlry Industry today. The averngo production of tho av orago cow expressed In terms of mlllc and butter fat cannot bo culled good. In fact It Is poor and what man JtJioa to" conduct a poor business? Dalrynion may bo divided Into tbreo classes thoso who fall and tmmtunlly i;o out of tho business, thoso who oko.outn bnro oxlBtonco, and thoso who succeed. Invariably tho hucccbh or tho pro gressive dairyman -Is dopondont on tho quality of his cows. Ito cltmbii to freedom from lluuuclat worry over tho liMCha of hlKh produnltiR cows. Ilo knows that high milk producing ability Is an Inherited character and that he must carofully select his breeding stock to tho end that all anlmalN born in his herd possess that ability. Tho greatest aid In creating offlc, lency In tho dairy herd la tho dairy niro with a strong milk producing In heritance. Such a slro adds to tho 111 .,lulni At.MUu Ml n (iiIumI herd. A' poor slro gets his own kind and decreased production. An Incroaso In milk production decreases cohIh whllo a decrease In production In creases costs. Since the milk producing ability j . of tho future herd is dopondont upon i tho slro. groat caro should bo used In , hlf selection. Ilo may bo selected b 'ililtTof two mutliods: j ; 1. Holtct a slro that has already, domotintrntod ,hls value through tho' nilllttni: nttallty uf his heifers. Such a Hire will transmit the same good I qualities as long as he lives. Proven Hires unfortunately are not plentiful fctr tho majority are slaughtered while Htlll young. 2. Select by pedigree or nnceitry. A bull inherits tho milking qualltlei of the cows that contributed to his Inheritance nud passes thesu mwno qualities on to his heifers. IIli heifers resemble his ancestors, which makes a careful examination of theso ancestors' and their milk record n;c emdtry to the Improvement of tho future herd. Gallon's law In breeding shows that an animal receives SO per cent of its characteristics from Its Im mediate parents, 2fi per cent from lt:i gramlcarants and tho remaining 2fi pt-r cent from tho earlier generation. Tlils makes It neeowiry that n bull he selected from closely related an imals of proven high milk producing and transmitting qualities, Select from an ancestry that Is uniformly good producers rather than from one that has one soiria . tlotiul niilmal with the others or or dinary quality. A good sire will often increase butter rat production In his holfoni 100 pounds or fat above that of their dams. In a herd of 20 cows giving 10 heifer calves the bull or fat yield would thus bo Increased 1000 poundo above that of their class when these heirers como Into milk. This c fiO . cents per pound gives $500 addition al Incoino tho first year. This would bo duplicated tho next 'and succeeding yours and thcro would also be other heifers coming Into milk making possible the replac ing of the entire original herd with better cows. Many Oregon bulls nro now demonstrating tholr value In the herds of their owners, but there Is room for many, many moro In the herds of the 20,000 dairymen of our Muto. The average yearly produc tion or tho Oregon cow Is probably not Tar from 200 pounds of fat, lly following a good breeding practice this a vertigo yield could bo doubled within a few years. The cost of a good Hire should dolor no dairyman from securing tho CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS I'ltWHIIYTKHIAN ciruitcii Sunday Services! Sunday school 18 A. M.
