Registered Stock
: Brought to County
i
County Agent Lewis headed a
committee which returned a few
days ago from Minnesota where
they berrfonally selected some
fine dairy stock for Murray coun-
ty citizens The carload bought
by them included 17 Jersey bulls
1 Shorthorn bull and three heif-
ers :
The Shorthorn was purchased
for T " H Slover of this city
One of the Jersey sires was
bought for the Davis Kiwanis
club which is taking steps to aid
the dairy industry in this section
These animals were on exhibit
here Tuesday and fully came up
to the expectations of the pur-
chasers Dairying has come to
be looked on as one way to im-
prove the wealth of the com-
munity and a movement to get
better stock in the county is a
wholesome sign The value of
these high grade cattle to the
whole county in the years to come
is inestimably ' -
County Agent Writes
Of Trip to the North
Wednesday May 8th Chas
Thompson J A Arms and my-
self left Sulphur on a tyip to se-
cure 18 head of purebred Jersey
bulls for farmers of Murray coun-
ty Our instructions were that
they must not only be registered
cattle but' must be from knowp
high producing cows and sired by
bulls that were in turn from high
producers in other words they
had to be selected from' herds
that had been members of Cow
Testing Associations for a period
of years long enough to "give sub-
stantial proof of their ability to
make more than the ordinary
amount of butterfat in a given
period of time
We met Mr Moffitt Extension
Dairy Specialist of the Oklahoma
A & M College at Stillwater
and after a conference with him
and Mr Trent1 Director of Ex-
tension decided to try to locate
the bulls in southern Kansas
We drove to Lawrence Kan
via Tulsa and Bartlesville on
May 9th and after investigating
at different places in that state
decided we could not find bulls
there with as high production
back of them as we were after
so decided to go on to Minnesota
where we had previously located
a number of herds with high pro-'

In Kansas we had begun to see
signs of dairying and its effect
on the spparent prosperity of cer-
tain communities Farm work
appeared to be late in that state
due to wet weather but wherever
we ran into dairy farms we in-
variably noticed tilths homes
were better "and ' that they hao
good barns and silos began to be
regular farm equipment instead
of the exception We also began
to see manure spreaders at work
as this is the season that they
spread most of their manure and
it seems as if the farmer who has
the most manure to spread in
that country is the most prosper-
ous The general practice seems
to be to spread the accumulated
manure as soon as it is possible
to get in the fields in the spring
disc the manure and stalks into
the soil and then break the land
resulting in a seedbed that is
easily harrowed and disced down
fine and firm Very few fields
showed signs of burning of stalks
and trashes they have Ippgago
found that crop yields cannot be
kept up if all refuse is burned
- From Lawrence Kan we
drove to St Joseph Mo where
we turned east through Missouri
for about 100 miles going through
a very prosperous section where
corn oats clover and bluegrass
are grown for both dairy and beef
cattle feeding Many hogs are
also grown in this territory and
in most cases-following cattle
Evidence was to be seen all along
that this plan of farming had
been profitable as most of the
homes and farm 'buildings were
very much more expensive than
we are accustomed to seeing in
Oklahoma
We turned nor tlT “into" Iowa
‘‘where the tall corn grows” and
drove to Ames Iowa by dark
Friday night This is where
Iowa has located their Agricul-
tural college which ranks very
high among such colleges Will
tell you more of the herds of
dairy cattle we saw later and of
the bulls we bought and who got
them County Agent
