Causes of Slow Milking
Determined by Economists
Poorly trained cows were found
to be the chief cause of slow milk-
ing in a survey of typical New York
dairy farms by agricultural econo-
mists at Cornell. Another reason is
failure of the operator to remove
the machine when milking Is com-
plete. .
Records were taken on 22 farms I
with herds ranging in size from 11
to 38 cows. Machines were used to
milk 87 per cent of the cows.
Light was shed on how much time
It takes various farmers to do the
milking. The range was 3.85 to 8 5(

Winter Cover Crops Yield
Farmers and Ranchers Many Benefits
“ During years of very low rain-
fall cover crops can mean a profit,
once established. During the next
few weeks a large number of
[farmers and ranchers in the Up-
per Elm-Red and Upper West
Fork Soil Conservation Districts
will' be busy getting in winter''
; coyer crops.
These farmers and ranchers
will receive such benefits as soil
improvement, nfereasi d yields,
erosion control, gra/llig aiid pas-
ture improvement, or a crop for
seed production. Benefits received
may be a combination of the
above depending upon tin- Iqj tn
J e.r’s or rancher’s desires and man-
agement used towaid his goals,
according to the soil service.
They will be improving their soil
by adding nitrogen and organic
matter A good legume crop can
add as much as 80 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, and at the same time be
95 percent or betft-r in controll-
ing erosion. This protection will
come at a critical period--durmg
the winter and early Spring. A
larger portion of our rainfall and
high winds come at these seasons.

The land at this time would be |
bare without a cover crop. The
nitrjogen added will increase pro-
duction on the following crop
whether it is a rosy crop or in-
creased grass production. When
the cover is left on the soil or
grazing is controlled by good
management practices larger
amounts of organic matter and
nitrogen will be returned to the
soil. 'Die organic matter increases
the water holding capacity and
improves the physical condition
of the soil
Cover crops will furnish them
benefits as winter pastures by
providing minerals, vitamins and
needed protein This will cut the
cost of wintering livestock. Le- j
gume seed should be inoculated I
before planting. The cost is small I
compared with the returns and

seed. Earlier plantings mean carl-

J S. Clark, better known as
Uncle Joe Clark, celebrated his
90th birthday in Seymour Sun-
day, August 28. Mr. Clark ha*
lived in Sunset for 37 years. He
came to Sunset on November 11,
1918, the day the Armistice was I
signed.
Mr. Clark has lived with his
l children since his wife passed on
six years ago. Despite his ad-
vanced age he is able to travel
from place to place to visit them.
Mr. Clark has six childreri. ■
They are Dock Clark, Munday,
Texas; Mrs. Mae Elliott, Sey-
mour, Texas; Mrs. J. H. Cooper,
Hedley, Texas; Mrs. Maude Wil-
Iiajps, Dallas, Texas; Charlie and

Mr. Clark has 14 grandchildren
and 10 great-grandchildren.

and looked out.
Facing her was, what looked
'like. a solid wall of flame about
sixty feet high leaping eagerly for
her "hew house.
Mrs Caudle says she almost be-
came hysterical for a moment but
regained her composure after a
minute
After he got out she noticed
that there were fire trucks fight-
ing the fire upon the hill south-
east of her property
c She ran up on the hill and
asked lor their aid
The firemen and
fought the fire until it
tingmshed but Mi;s, Caudle says
if was a near-lose. There was a
pile of scrap lumber about two
feet from the Caudle's earport
and the firemen said if the fire
got to it they couldn't possibly
save the house. Luckily the
flames only came within two feet
of the lumber.
Mrs.' Caudle says she has al-
ways had a horror of fire since
they have played such a tragic
r"le in her life. Her mother died
in a fire when she was only six
years old. The mother was burn-
iug’trash and her clothes caught
fire. Prior to this, Mrs. Caudle’s
mother and father’s house had
burned. And shortly after the
death of her mother, their barn | minutes percow,”andthe average

The average time’to rnillc a cow
by hand was about 6 50 minutes.
Part of the cows were milked by
fm \ lot of the grass and shrubs hand on all but five farms, accord-
| Ing to R G. Murphy of the Corneil
| staff.
I The specialists were particularly
interested in why machines were
I left on cows more than 7 minutes.
| Prolonged machine stripping was
found to be one of the main reasons.
In some instances the milking was
complete but the operator had not
removed the machine. Stripping the
cow by hand was the most common
job interfering with the removal of
the machine.
Shorter milking time for many
cows could be attained, the econo-
mists concluded, by reducing the
machine-stripping time and elimt-
benefit of fines collected.
