Live Stock and Dairy 
The National Dairy Show 
Part I 
The National Dairy Show has passed 
from an exposition to an education in¬ 
stitution. For 12 years it has served to 
stimulate, interest in dairying and has 
played the most important part in the 
progress of this national industry. For 
the second time the dairy show was held 
at Milwaukee. Unfortunately, it seemed 
necessary this year to divide the equip¬ 
ment or dairy manufacture machinery ex¬ 
hibits from the live stock show, one being 
held at the Auditorium downtown and 
the other at the Fair Grounds, about 
seven miles from the hotels and terminals. 
.Tust why this step was necessary was not 
made known to the visitors, and naturally 
they were somewhat dissatisfied with this 
arrangement. What the National Dairy 
Show needs worse then anything else is 
a permanent home, where appropriate 
buildings can be devoted to the timely 
exhibits and where the live stock show 
and its subsidiary interests can be taken 
advantage of by a larger group of farmers 
and dairymen. 
The crowds were disappointing, and this 
is partly due to the fact that the farmers 
from the East were more or less shut out 
and to the further fact that the farmers 
in the Northwest do not have to be sold 
on the idea that dairy farming is essential 
if the Northwest area is to be developed 
on a profitable scale. In fact, the States 
of Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, 
and Michigan are tied fast to dairying 
and they could not have withstood the 
perils of agricultural activities had they 
not been engaged in dairy farming and 
dairy manufactures during the period 
and following the World War. 
It was suggested that possibly the ex¬ 
hibitors of dairy machinery could well 
afford to divorce their exhibit from the 
live stock show and from the National 
Dairy Show proper, but such an align¬ 
ment would be unfortunate. They argue 
that the toll from space to the manufac¬ 
turers of dairy machinery pays the bills 
of the other departments of the show and 
feel that possibly it would be the part of 
wisdom to use this fund more in the ex¬ 
tension and development of their own 
interests. Manifestly, the dairyman who 
is interested in cows is likewise interested 
in, let us say, cream separators. Yet the 
large purchasers of dairy equipment are 
not necessarily cow owners or farmers 
who make a living by milking cows. The 
whole problem would be easy of solution 
if the dairy show had a permanent home 
and provided it could be supported as 
enthusiastically by its fraternity as the 
International Live Stock Exposition is 
supported by its clientele. 
To the several breed associations spe¬ 
cial credit must be given for their timely 
educational exhibits. The American 
Guernsey Cattle Club featured the im¬ 
portance of foundation cows. From the 
herd of Stevens. Brothers, of Wisconsin, 
the old cow, Gbenwood’s Greta, with 26 
of her progeny, was on display. Mr. 
Stevens in 1912 gave his note for $500 
in payment for this cow, then not in calf. 
She lias produced two bulls aud six heif¬ 
ers and has made three A R O records, 
namely, 440 lbs. of butterfat as a two- 
year old, and 516 lbs. as a ten-year old 
in Class DD in 286 days, and 642 lbs. of 
butterfat in double-letter Class AA at 
the age of 13 years. This is a record 
for the breed for single and double letter 
classes where the calf was carried 288 
days. In addition to the own daughters 
of this cow. there was on display seven 
grand daughters and 14 great grand 
daughters, making a total of 26 females 
that trace directly to this old Glenwood 
cow. The development of this family of 
Glenwood’s is a notable achievement and 
evidences in a most practical way the 
possibilities for constructive breeding 
through the careful selection of founda¬ 
tion females. The note was paid off in 
due time, a very valuable herd was es¬ 
tablished, the farm was paid for, and the 
breeder’s reputation as a successful dairy¬ 
man and farmer can be traced directly to 
this famous old cow. 
The Holstein Association, on the other 
hand, played up the importance of the 
purebred sire, and had a most interesting 
exhibit of a tried sire showing 12 of his 
daughters that had produced in some 
eases nearly twice as much milk in a year 
as their first dams. Naturally, tenant 
farmers who make their livelihood from 
selling milk from grade cows were in¬ 
terested in this exhibit and it demon¬ 
strated in a most convincing fashion that 
a good sire is half the herd and that a 
pure one is the “whole thing.” 
The American Jersey Cattle Club em¬ 
phasized anew the importance of the 
Jersey cow as an economical producer of 
butterfat. Carefully worked out. graphs 
and displays showing the efficiency of 
the Jersey cow as an agency for con¬ 
verting farm products into milk and but¬ 
ter products were featured and animals 
that had actually returned unusual profits 
to their owners were on display. Par¬ 
ticularly did this exhibit impress the boys 
and girls who are interested in new dol¬ 
lars that arrive from morning and night 
and everyday milking. All along this 
club has worked harmoniously and in¬ 
telligently for the development of boys’ 
and girls’ calf clubs and dairy clubs. 
The Ayrshire Breeders’ Association 
was content in staging the best breeders’ 
exhibition that has been made at the 
dairy show in 12 years. Thirty-three 
cows paraded in the aged cow class. With 
Scottish caution and precision they pa¬ 
raded until the judges, as well as the 
lookers-on, were convinced that the task 
of assigning places to this group was im¬ 
mense. Its educational value cannot be 
overlooked because dairy conformation 
and working udders, with quality at every 
turn, were the outstanding character¬ 
istics. 
The cow test associations that have 
been organized in the several States have 
demonstrated their usefulness and (mine. 
But the exhibit of grade cows and of 
G T A cows at this year’s National 
Dairy Show was unique. A grade Hol- 
tein with an official record made by one 
of the Wisconsin Cow Test Associations 
was on display, having produced 23.347 
lbs. of milk and 842 lbs. of butterfat in 
a year. A grade Guernsey with an of- 
®cial reeor< f °f 17,555 lbs. of milk and 
88< lbs. of butterfat was likewise fea¬ 
tured. f. c. M. 
Countrywide Situation 
Farm prices, taken together, moved up 
a little.in-September, but the situation 
is rather mixed. Most of the strength 
is owing to high priced cotton, wool and 
grain. Cotton will be a good crop but 
will be all needed to make up shortage of 
past years. 
Wheat stays up in the dollar-twenties 
and thirties because the world’s crop is 
10 per cent short. But these farmers 
who are reporting intention to plant 
more wheat than usual may find different 
conditions next year. The rest of the 
world has cheaper labor which is crowd¬ 
ing our foreign markets with cheap grain 
in good crop years and even with con¬ 
siderable cheap cotton. Corn markets 
are up in the air because of expected 
frost damage and corn has Ueen selling 
almost as high as wheat. So much corn 
may be fit only for quick feeding that 
the millfeed outlook is uncertain. Any¬ 
way, cottonseed meal should be in good 
supply although there is brisk demand 
for export. Such feeds are the very life 
extract of our richest soils and ought to 
be used nearer home. Hogs have been 
working upward toward the $10 mark 
in the West. Beef and lamb is a little 
lower than recently, but doing fairly 
well compared with a year ago. The 
•butter market acts fairly well, consider¬ 
ing the presence of the largest cold stor¬ 
age stocks on record. The public is using 
butter liberally. Eggs are going up as 
usual as this time of year. 
APPLES HIGHER IN WEST 
Western apples have been advancing 
at shipping points, where they sell 50c 
a box higher than last season. Reason ; 
a light crop and much damage from 
worms and drought. Eastern apples are 
holding their own. Southern growers are 
getting $3.50 per barrel at the orchard 
for export apples ; rather poor stuff. Good 
fruit is bringing close to $4, orchard run, 
in most eastern producing sections. Ex¬ 
ports also have netted about that figure. 
The market outlook is good here and in 
Europe unless the price seems too high 
for active foreign trade. The worst fea¬ 
ture is the large proportion of wormy, 
rough fruit. Western growers are com¬ 
pelled by State laws to keep such apples 
near home, but the East will do noth¬ 
ing of the sort. 
THE PREVALENT ELBERT A 
Now that the rush from southern peach 
regions is over, the price averages around 
$3 per bushel in the great markets. It 
is surprising how fully the Elberta has 
captured the main season. Practically 
all the large cities quote Elbertas as a 
leading kind, and some quote no other 
kind after the first of the season. It 
seems even more universal than Concord 
grape. For all that, many lovers of 
peaches will long for more of the good 
old kinds with plenty of rich juice and 
flavor. The peach is in some danger of 
losing ground to the apple because of the 
apple market’s advantage in quality and 
variety. One cau fiud an apple on sale to 
suit almost any taste or requirement, but 
in buying peaches often the choice is 
limited to the Elberta or worse. 
Potatoes and most other vegetables are 
disappointing. Prices have been going 
down below the profit level. The future 
hinges somewhat on the extent of damage 
by early freezing. There is some rot, 
too. The best thing that could happen 
to the growers would be something to 
cut off 10 per cent of the whole crop and 
so give the rest of it a fair chance of 
profit. 
Wages in Germany are $5 to $6.50 pet- 
week, not per day. including the trades 
as well as plain labor. Not very good 
customers for fancy farm products, one 
would say; hut they do buy much lard, 
bacon and flour and some apples. A 
truck farmer living next to a town of 
75c per day workmen would find poor¬ 
picking. No consumers are like the 
American family in the range and quality 
of what they buy. o. b. f.
