INDUSTRIAL RECORD

In Industrial activity occurred during
the last qu arter ot 1926, the level o
industrial production for the yea
eclipsed all previous records, a review
of business conditions made public b;
the federal rserve board showed.
Production for the year was 6 pe
cent g re a te r than the high level reach
ed during the previous maximum poi

cember, and November, however, a re
cession was noted in practically al
lines of m anufacture, the output beint
sm aller than in 1925.
Increases wore reported for the yea:
In production ot iron, steel, automo
biles, textiles, rubber tires, petroleun
products, non-ferrous m etals and coal
while building activities increased ‘
per cent, prim arily in industrial ant
public works.
C onstruction of schools declined

made by th e county a g e n t and N. C.

"T h e re p o rt of th e C lackam as

The poorest 10 cows had an av e r­

leaving only $20.25, or less th a n
on e-ten th of th e valuó of b u tte rfa t
produced by th e ir ¡high producing
sisters.
“ No one can tell w h eth er a cow
Is m aking hint money or losing
money unless he keeps records,” Mr.
H olt said, “ and these records a re the
valuable p a rt of testin g w ork. One

” l t w ould not be wise to feed a
cow incapable of producing 600
pounds of fa t a t the ra te for a 500
pound anim al, b u t it Is easy to lose
money by u n d er feeding, as well as
by over feeding. T estin g

dairym an to do his feeding co rrect­

to feed correctly is one of th e big-'
gest problem s facing th e dairym an.
