This Dairv Business
•-
A year ago, the plans you made are determining
your butterfat production today.
Early winter breeding of your heifers has been
talked of in this column before, and has also been
set forth as a good thing by your county agent and
the D.H.I.A.
Are there any real advantages to such a program
of trying to control breeding of your dairy herd?
First, is a feed factor. As a general rule most of
you dairymen have more feed in the fall than at
any other time of the year. This being so, you have
a chance to get the most in the way of production
by having your cows freshen in the fall, and using
this feed to keep up that production.
Second is the price of butterfat—as you all know,
for the past seven years from September thru Jan-
uary the price of butterfat has been the highest,
and as a general rule the dairyman’s production
has been the lowest because of a predominance of
spring freshening cows in the herd. Fall freshening
of cows may raise your income here.
A third factor is the sales possibilities. In the past
two weeks cows from this community have been sold
for $75.00 a head. Buyers want fresh cows—and
you know that cows in good condition are the ones
that sell.
Now is the time to plan your breeding program.
As a rule in this section cows will calve about a year
apart. Breeding heifers in November and December
will soon give you a herd where most cows will fall
freshen each year.
Criticisms and suggestions are very wel-
come. Please address

Dr. Homer P. Rainey, President of the University of Texas, has analyzed Texas' future possibilities
in repeated public address. These statements express his thought:
"Th* nest stage in the progress of Tesat lie* in the develop-
i mint of our great industrial and commercial pottibilitics."
"A program of induitrial development centers around the
manufacture of raw materials into finished products."
"American industry is moving closer to its row material source*.
W« in Taia* can capitalise on this movement if the oppor-
tunity la grasped."
"Our great highway dcvtlopment. coupled with industrial
progress, will greatly aid the Taxes farmer ia his marketing
problem."

must bo trained in highly efficiant reheats to meat the
I growing oaods of form and business."
"Our Universities are dedicated to a program of abantific
j- 1 training and research which will create employment and build
r industry to uto our row materials at home."
"Repeated failures did not stop our hardy pioneers in th* building
of our praaoot empire. Th* same spirit must prevail for o successful
future.'
The Texet oil industry recognises the soundness of these broad principles. They underlie present employment and provide
for expanded future employment for our Texas people. The vital part oil plays today in putting these principles into
actual practice will be portrayed in a series of advertisements to follow in this publication.
