Dairy Cows Like
Cold Weather
College Station, Nov. 29—Dairy
modern emphasis on the “light-j cows like cold weather—if they
' are properly fed and well housed.
Tight, dry dairy barns are a-
bout as good a substitute for
grain in the winter time as any,
G. G. Gibson, extension dairy
husbandman at Texas A&M Col-
lege points out.
Elaborate, expensive shelters
are not necessary. But patching
of roofs and walls with scrap
lumber or tin will keep out rain
and cut down cold drafts'which
lower milk production.
Cows which have to work their
way through muddy lanes and
feedlots use up energy which
otherwise have produced milk.
That’s where a slip or fresno
comes in to make feed go further
by draining off standing water
and building up low spots.
Dairymen won’t save any grain
by cutting down on the milk
cow’s ration, Gibson said. The
er” vegetables, such as leafy
greens and tomatoes, has caus-
ed many housewives to neglect
the sturdy root vegetables, once
a regular in cold weather meals.
Many of these vegetables can
be used to a good advantage in
family meals this fall and winter,
while cereal foods and meats are
critical. Louise Mason, extension
food preparation specialist for
Texas A&M College, says that
they offer good food energy a-
long with varying amounts of
minerals and vitamins plus bulk
which helps to give that '“satis-
fied” feeling.
Sweet potatoes rank first in
energy value and contribute an
important amount of vitamin A
and some vitamin C. Irish pota-
toes have about two-thirds as
much energy as the sweet potato
plus some vitamin C value. Both
kinds can be used in many ways
to replace flour and other grain
foods.
Some of the old-fashioned veg-
etables are less appreciated. Sal-
sify or “vegetable oyster” and
parsnips' rank along with whife
potatoes in energy value. Onions
are next in order, although most
people think of them only as a
cow is going to take care of her-
self first and if her feed is cut,
she’ll cut the amount of milk she
gives. Always give cows all the
roughage that they will clean up
daily and feed hay according to
Mr. and Mrs. Pete Whitworth
entertained with a “42” party at
their home on Thanksgiving
night. A sumptuous turkey din-
ner was served buffet style to
about 50 relatives and friends.

flavoring. Carrots, beets, ruta-
bagas and turnips are all good
energy foods, although not as
high in value.
With the exception of beets,
all these vegetables are useful in
making a little meat go a long
way, either in stews, casseroles,
meat pies, scallops or creamed
dishes. The main thing to re-
member is that they lose flavor,
color and appetizing texture, if
over-cooked.
return.
Another little trick that will
hold up milk production is to
warm drinking water in cold
weather. Milk is approximately
87% water, and if the water is
icy cold the cow won’t drink as
much as she needs. A simple
way to warm water is to sink
a half oil drum in the trough
with rocks and start a fire in it.
Zachary Scott, who constitute the
triangle concerned, perform in
masterly fashion, Miss Smith
has never before given so warm-
ly human a portrayal! for once
she is allowed to be a human be-
ing, instead of a beautiful clothes-
horse.
In the role of a cynical young
novelist, Scott is at once the nar-
rator of the story and one of its
principal characters. On a visit
to the ranch of a college friend—
Reagan—he falls in love, despite
his better judgment, with Miss
Smith, who breeds horses on a
neighboring ranch. She, however,
is in love with Reagan, who por-
trays a veterinarian of scientific
acumen and great personal inte-
grity. It is that integrity which
comes between the lovers, and it
is the acumen that saves his life
when he falls victim to the dread
anthrax which is decimating
herds pastured on the range.

Bosed on prewar statistics 119391. Source H. DeGraff in Steelway* Magazine November, 1947
The American mastery of modern
farming techniques gives us a big
edge in strength over any potential
aggressor, according to Dr. Herrell
DeGraff, outstanding Cornell Uni-
versity agricultural economist.
This is because farm productivity
is an accurate measure of a coun-
try’s industrial strength as well as
the health of its population, he said.
Writing in Steelways Magazine,
Dr. DeGraff said, “Russia, for in-
stance, has yet to win the war of
steel plows and the efficiency which
they symbolize.”
Comparing the agricultural sys-
tems of the two countries, he said,
“America’s basic advantage makes
Russia look like a 14-year-old boy
pitted against a brawny blacksmith
in a weight lifting contest.”
“We have to go back to shortly
before the Civil War,” he added, “to
find when the American farmer’s
productivity was as low as the Rus-
sians’ in 1938. American agricul-
ture in prewar years turned out six
times as much as each worker on
the land in Russia.”
The use of prewar figures was
necessary. Dr. DeGraff explained,
for the reason that the Soviets do
not give out statistics now. He also
said that “even if we had the infor-
mation, it would hardly be satis-
factory to draw a comparison since
Russia’s agricultural production
was far more disrupted by the war
than ours was.”
Although Russia is the largest
nation in the world, containing one-
sixth of the world’s land area, and
with a population one-third greater
than that of the United States, agri-
culturally speaking, Dr. DeGraff
pointed out, this nation’s output of
farm produce in the years for which
we have a comparison exceeded
Russia’s by 50 per cent. Both coun-
tries had approximately the same
harvested crop acreage, prewar.
“Except in a few operations. Rus-
sia’s claim ‘o have the most mech-
anized agriculture in the world is a
gross exaggeration ’ Dr. DeGraff
stated. “The bulk of Russian farm
work is done by hand while the
American farmer, using machines
made mostly of steel, supplied by
an aggressive American industry,
never ceased to expand the effec-
tiveness of his work.”
Dr. DeGraff quoted figures to show
that the Russian farmer worked 63
hours before the war to grow one
acre of corn, while in this country
American farmers worked only 16
hours and obtained double the yield.
Russians, according to the article,
required 330 hours to raise and har-
vest an acre of cotton. American
producers do the same in 91 hours.
While the farmer in this country
labored 9 hours to raise and har-
vest an acre of wheat, the Russian
farmer took 47 hours and even then
got Jess wheat. Sugar beets, pota-
toes, milk and poultry production
all followed the same pattern.
“The great vitality and produc-
tiveness of American agriculture
has been the basis of the rising
strength of the nation and the rising
standard of living,” Dr. DeGraff
said. “We now use only one-sixth
of the nation’s productive effort to
provide for this country and still
ship 10 per cent of oqr farm pro-
duce overseas.”
Production levels in the United
States are ever-increasing, Dr. De-
Graff explained, “because individu-
als have had freedom to work and
enjoy the fruits of labor. Under that
system we have built an economic
system that has stimulated produc-
tion, individually and in the mass.
“The steel industry and other
allied industries, making* possible
such machines of increasing effi-
ciency, constantly reduce still far-
ther the manpower needed to pro-
duce food and thus release more
men to devise and produce more
ways to build higher the level of
our civilization.
“Whatever else may be behind
the Iron Curtain, we know it hides
great weaknesses. Our strength is
in plain sight. The steel coming
from the mills, the machines from
our factories and the production
from our farms make it possible
to get ‘from each according to his
ability’ in increasing measure, the
stuff of life.”
