Outlook Good for Charlotte Dairymen, Speakers From VPI Sav At Meeting

Charlotte county dairy farmers, about CO of them, viewed dairying prospects in the county at a meet ing, last week. Sponsored by the Charlotte Artificial Breeding As sociation. the meeting was held in the assembly room of the County Agricultural Building. Ben Morgan, agricultural eco nomist from VPI, discussed “The Outlook for Dairying in Charlotte Countv.''' Mr. Morgan said that Charlotte county dairymen were m a favorable position from the standpoint of markets. At the present time. Grade A milk from the county is being marketed in Richmond. Norfolk. Washington. D. C.. and Durham. N. C. W'hile milk can be delivered fairly promptly to these population cen ters. still Charlotte county is suf ficiently removed from industrial areas to insure an adequate labor supply, he ixiinted out. Mr. Ellmore. of the Dairy De partment at VPI. who has charge of the Dairy Herd Improvement work in the state, explained the importance of the dairyman's knowing what production each cow in the herd is making. When individual production is known, cows can be fed accordingly and a saving of feed made. Also, records on each cow will indicate the cows that have milk and lnitterfat pro duction sufficiently high that thev are worthy of producing the heifers for herd replacements

Production records are also a guide 10 the intelligent culling ol the cow herd, he snid Breeding Cows R. G. Connelly, extension dairy! husbandman, discussed breeding; principles that are essential in im proving the dairy herd. Mr. Con- t nelly said that as a rule dairy herd improvement should be' brought about by breeding all cows to a bull known, to have high milk and butterfat production background. Not only should he have high production in his breeding, but the bull should be proven to the extent that it is known that he is transmitting high production to his offspring. A very small percentage of the bulls that are the progeny of high producing dams and proven sires are able to transmit high pro duction to their daughters. This is the point at which many dairy men have failed. They have de pended on an unproven bull that might have had high production m his background and found out too late that his daughters were low producers, he said. Th s is a serious risk that all dairymen who are not using a proven bull, take. In the past, this was a risk that all dairymen had to take, unless they were able to buy a proven bull. Mr. Connelly said. Now, every owner of dairy rows in Charlotte county ran breed his cows not only to proven

bulls but to those that have the best records. This can lx- done by using the services of the Char lotte Artificial Breeding Associa tion. he concluded. This breeding association is af filiated with the Virginia Artifi cial Breeding Association at Rocky Mount, where the bulls are kept. Discussion Panel A panel, made up of local dairy men. discussed "Pasture Resources in Charlotte County." This panel was composed of M. B. Rice. Jr . William F. Vaughan, and Proc tor Carwile. Lee W. Morton. Jr., county agent, was moderator or the panel. The panel decided that practi cal! v all pasture land in Charlotte county should support at least one cow per acre. Suggested ways of increasing productivity of pas tures were liming and fertilizing according to the need as shown by sjil tests, seeding correct grass and legume mixtures, rotating cows on pastures, and controlling weeds by mowing. Representatives from Birtherd Dairies. Southern Dairies, and Durham Dairy Products Company attended this meeting. jet TRAINER The Air Force has chosen a small, light airplane, with two French - designed jet engines— the Cessna Model 318—as its first true pel trainer. Heretofore, the Air Force lias been using com bat aircraft or modified combat types for training purposes._

THICKENING AGENTS Cornstarch has about twice the : thickening power of flour. In substituting one for the other in a recipe, remember if cornstarch is called for you will need twice that amount of flour. If flour is called for. you will need only half that amount of cornstarch. Long er cooking is needed with corn starch to eliminate the uncooked starchy flavor.
