SMPAY. 21.1930 I IIVF NEWS frmtt ALL PARTS of SOUTH DAKOTA Milk Foam Does Not Affect Growth Test Conducted At State College Gives Proof, Olaon Says; Plan To Repeat 6BOOKINGS, ov. a-yrV-That milk foam fed to calves does not affect their growth or physical condition In any way is the conclusion drawn from a five and a half months test by Ihe South Dakota State college dairy husbandry department. "The experiment was undertaken," said I. M.

Olson, head of the department, "because the rather widespread idea that feeding milk with foam on it to young calves hindered th6r growth and gave them the scours. No record could be found of any such experiment having been made previously." To check results, the experiment will be repeated, he said. After the secor.d trial, more complete data will be available. The six calves used in the test were taken from the college dairy herd, some of them Holsteio, one a Jersey and one or two cross breeds. They were from thrae to four weeks old when the test was started.

Three were fed skim milk with all foam taken off, while ths other three were fed skim milk with ehe foam which accumulated in separating plus the foam taken from the other milk. In separat- ing, the milk pails were lowered from the machine so that considerable foam was formed. Each of the six calves was fed exactly the same amount of milk by weight. At the start each received six pounds. Later the ration was increased to eight pounds and finally to ten.

From four to six inches of foam stood on the pails of mili fed to three of the calves. All were given grain and hay in the customery amounts. Ev3ry ten days of the trial all the calves were weighed and each .30 days they wer2 measured Frequently, Mr. Olson said, visitors came to see the cslves and attempted to pick out th? ones being fed foam. In no case were they able to distinguish between those getting foam and those geting milk without foam, he said.

Issue Warning On Storing Explosive BROOrUNQS, NOT. who are keeping war lalvage explosive for land clearing purposes were advwsa today by R.

L. Patty, agricultural engineer of the South Dakota State college extension service, to make sure whether it is retaining its strength or deteriorating. For five years, 1923 to 1029, Professor Patty explained, the extension service distributed war salvage explosive to South Dakota land owners for clearing farm land of boulderi and stumps. Occasional inquiries for explosive are still being recalved he said, indicating that this land clearing work is continuing. One reason is that increased use of power machinery demands ground free from rocks and stumps.

Most of the explosive being used today is material sold commercially, but some is the old explosive diltributed by the extension service, Patty said. This old explosive was of two kinds The first was called Sodatol, a durable material which will remain good over a period of many yean if it is kept in a dry, well- ventilated place. The second kind was called Pyratoi which deteriorates siightly even when properly stored. If the explosive is of the second kind, Professor Patty said, it should be used as soon as possible, since it will lose strength rapidly from now on. Heavier loading probably will be necessary, he added.

Posters Advertise Registered Alfalfa BROOKINGS, Nov. 21 () Seven thousand posters advertising South Dakota registered alfalfa seed are being distributed by the State Crop Improvement association, R. E. Johnston, secretary, said today. On these posters is a replica of the official blue tag used on all genuine South Dakota grown registered and state scaled Grimm and Cossack alfalfa seed.

The posters wil be sent to retail seed dealers in South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconnsin, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and several eastern states. Last year, Mr. Johnston reported, the assSciation registered and sealed 750,000 pounds of dean tag seed. This year the organization has sent tags and seals to 132 growers for 656,000 pounds of clean seed, after the shrinkage from recleaning is taken out. The Crop Improvement association and the South Dakota State college extension service have-contacts with owners of 535 active alfalfa fields, or those which have produced registered seed during the last two or three years.

All of these fields do not produce seed each year, howevsr. The productidn this year fell below 1921 largely because of hot, dry weather during the growing season. Distribution of the posters is one of the advertising moves being undertaken by the association in behalf of South Dakota registered alfalfa seed. The Crop Improvement organization does not undertake actual marketing of the seed, Mr. Johnston explained, this being handled through seed dealers.

Most of these cars are comparatively late models and mechanically are in Rood condition and capable of thousands of miles of service, yet to all appearance they are old cars, greatly depreciated in value. Your car Is an Investment representing hundreds of dollars. It should be worth taking care of.

Regular systematic greasing of the chassis is vitally necessary, yet too often it is also neglected and soon your car rides like a lumber wagon, is hard to steer, squeaks and groans even on pavement or well-surfaced roads.
