The School Bell Ring« Again
For ume months now there has
been a desire by many dairymen to
sell their cows and go out of the
dairy business altogether, some sav
ing that dairying did not pay. The
reason dairying dose not pay lies io
most part with the dairyman, for in
selecting the herd price has had the
upperhand rather than production.
To get the maximum, one should
look to what a cow will return in
dividends and not merely as to how
much milk—it may be just milk, for
which the returns do not pay for the
feed.
Just recently a jurvey of Linn
county has been made to learn how
many dairy cows are io the county
accessible to present markets and a
proposed new market—a powdered
milk plant at Albany. It was found
that there are enough eows to dou
ble the present milk supply If they
were producers instead of boarders.
In response to a few questions we
propounded to Porter Long and his
sons. wh<> are milking 28 cosra/we
lesrned that thev received from the
Scio Condensery for the month of
August. 1925. a check for >409.
August is a dry month, when there
is no grass, and Mr. Long was com
pelled to use more feed. Their suc
cess lies in the selection of produc
ers, eliminating the ones that do not
■how a profit. Mr. Long has put
study and commonsenae into hia
•business and is making It pay. An
other policy he follow«, ws under
stand.is to stay with one concern year
in and year out. and finds in this he
Comes out ahead.
Gerald McDonald is another local
dairyman that i« making a atudy of
the industry. He started In a small
w«y and now has about 60 head. In
August he was milking only 14 head
■nd his check from the Condensery
was for $300. The average number
of cows per month during the year,
he says. that he milka is 30. In the
industry It is also hi« policy to weed
out his boarders, as they eat up the
profit from the producers. He «ays
his bonus this year is >260. and with
the new policy of the Condensery he
expects to be enriched by $600 next
year, or more than >300 oyer the
bonus system. Like Mr. Long, Ger
ald thinks one fares better .when he
slays with one concern.
There are many smaller dairies in
this community that probably show
up as well or better than the two
mentioned above.
The reason is
obvious. It takes longer to find the
non-Droducer in the herd and elimi
nate it. A cow that tests 4 or bet
ter will soon pay for herself, and
the pride in her ownership shows I d
her keep.
We do not need more cows in the
county unless we can get better
cows. If we can get better cows,
the more we have of them the more
prosperous dairymen will be.
