FERTILIZER ~
VVlien the World's Fair opens in
New York in the spring of 1939, the
dairy industry will be well repre-
sented. Five breeds of dairy cattle
—Ayrshire, Brown-Swiss, HoUtein,
Guernsey and Jersey—will each have
thirty outstanding cows in the
"Dairy World of Tomorrow." These
150 cows will be milked in the Bor-
den Building on the Central Mall,
using a rotolactor equipped with
magnetic milkers to do the job.
Calves and bulls representative of
each breed will also be on exhibit.
The animals are chosen by a spe-
cial committee from each Breed
Association, and will come from all
parts of the United States and Can-
ada as representatives of the best
that the breed can produce. The
Ayrshire cow shown above is one of
the animals chosen.
Ill this exhibit not only the pro-
duction of milk will be demon-
strated, but the handling, bottling
and sale of it will go forward under
the eyes of the public. About one-
tliird of the milk produced by the
cows of this country is used as
fluid milk. The rest is sold as but-
ter, cheese, ice-cream, casein for
paint, billiard balls, paper sizing,
milk sugar for medicines, and in
literally hundreds of others forms.
The Borden exhibit will tell much
of this story and give a better under-
standing of the place the dairy cow,
as exemplified by these pure-breds,
and the milk distributor play in the
scheme of things.

have studied the plant food
needs of sandy East Texas soils
and have prepared a fertilizer
that not only gives to crops that
needed food but also adds more

crop takes away. Come and

Texas produced about 83,000,-
000 million bushels of corn last
year: but already, with the sea-
son less than half gone, the com-
mercial supplyiscoming from the
Corn Belt into many section of
the state.
The average j eild for the state
on last year's crop was about 17£
bush"ls per acre, which is some-
what better than the previous 10
year average. Since many acres
produce 20 to 40 bushels, and j
some acres produced even 50 to
7">, there must be many thousand
of aores that produce 10 bushels j
or less. These acres cannot be
expected toproduceanythwig but
j very high cost corn, I
Sincecotton production is- limit
Jed and a live-at home program is
j a necessity, corn has become
| most important crop to thesouU
;orn farmer; but the crop can on
ly be profitable with good per ac-
j re production, Ono of the most
•important factors in production
J is the planting of good seed of a
variety suited to your section.
; Much corn is still produced from
"just any old seed," tor which
the farmer pays and pays with
very low yetlds—and high pro-
duction costs. In any test of 12
to 1"' selected varieties cultivated
under identical conditions there
; will be a variation of 30 to 50 per
(sent in yield between the highest
land the lowest. One such tost
| iiiuue by an experiment station
I of the south west in 1988 shows
! the highest yield of 1 variety at
'65,0 busshels per acre against
the lowest at 48.5; and the higli-
| est had 00 per cent of sound ears
' while the lowest had 05 percent,
j Varieties of seed may mean the
difference between profitand loss
in production. The Texas Experi-
j tnent Station reccommeuds the
following varieties for the va-
rious sections of the state:
East Texas: Prolific, Texas
Goldeu Prolific, Surcropper. Yel

When suitable seed hava been
obtained, select the best land
available, give it good preparation
and an application of two to three
hundred pounds of 0 8 4 or 4-12 4
fertilizer on lands that are adapt-
ed to fertilizer and help get Tex-
as out of the teen age in average
