Notwithstanding the fact that the
type of animal is of very much more
■ importance than the breed, there are
some breeds of beef cattle which are
. better suited than others to the South.
One breed may be especially adapted
to a certain purpose, or a certain
| farm, or a certain section of the coun
try where another may be entirely out
of place. The answer to the frequent-
ly asked question. “What Is the best
breed of beef cattle for the South?”
cannot therefore be given by naming
any one particular breed.
The Shorthorn breed is well adapt
ed to the South, but they are not as
early maturing or do not graze as well
as do the Herefords. They are the
largest of the beef animals, and some
of the Individuals show strong milking
tendencies. On a farm where the pas
ture grasses are well developed and
too much effort is not required to get
a sufficient amount to eat, It would
be difficult to find a breed of beef ani
mals which would surpass the Short
horn.
Hereford Most Popular.
The Hereford breed Is now probably
the most popular in the South. In
size this Is one of the largest breeds,
ranking next to the Shorthorn. From
the standpoint of the average fanner
the weakest point is their inability to
give a sufficient quantity of milk to
nourish the calves. On account of ex
ceptional vigor, rustling ability, a
thick coat of hair, and temperament,
the Hereford has taken first place as
n grazing animal. Owing to their vigor
they nre often capable of securing a liv
ing from pastures which afford a limit
ed amount of grass. No breed of beef
cattle equals the Hereford for with-
se,

standing the unfavorable conditions
which always accompany the range
system of farming. Hereford bulls,
as well as those of the Shorthorn
breed, when crossed with the native
cows of the South and Southwest,
have produced good grade calves.
The Aberdeen-Angus Is not as large
as the Hereford or Shorthorn, but does
not fall far short of the weights
reached by the two larger breeds. The
cows are usually fair milkers. This
breed Is vigorous and has remarkable
rustling ability well suited to range
condii Ions and Is therefore well adapt
ed to the South.
The Galloway breed has never been
extensively Introduced into the South.
A few herds, however, are found In
Texas. The animals of this breed are
extremely hardy and nre well suited
to the ranges of the Northwest, where
food may be scarce and where winters
are severe.
Red Polled Breed.
The Red Polled breed represents the
dual-purpose type In its true form, as
the typical cows yield milk liberally
and fatten quickly and satisfactorily
when dry. This breed is well suited
to the South, and a southern farmer
who wants a cow that will yield a good
flow of milk and at the same time
mise n calf which Is acceptable from
the beef standpoint will not make a
mistake by selecting the Red Polled
cattle. They are hardy generally and
reasonably good grazing animals.
Cattle of the Devon breed are won-
derful rustlers, and will keep In good
condition on pastures where other beef
animals eould hardly subsist In some
sections of the South the Devons have
become popular because of their
ability for grating during the summer
months and making use of the rough
feeds and native grasses during the
winter. They are quick. Intelligent,
attain good site (though their growth
Is a little slower than other beef
breeds) and stand the heat well. For
these reasons they are exceedingly
popular In the timber sections and the
lumber camps of the South. There Is |
no breed which make work oxen rj ,
perlor to the Devon.

A single farmer in a single year Is
in a gamble with nature; nil farmers
in a long period of time can depend
on a certain average of experience.
This aspect of the farmer’s efforts to
produce a crop is a subject of inves-1
tlgation by the bureau of crop esti
mates. Observations with regard to
yield per acre cover 52 years for eight
prominent crops, and shorter periods
for five more crops of importance. To
show how susceptible to Jolts this yield
is, percentages of increase or decrease
from year to year have been computed.
