Notes
On June 19th the advisory council of
the Orleans County Agricultural asso
ciation held a meeting at Orleans, when
it was decided to hold the annual meet
ing about the 1st of October. The
definite date and place to be decided
later. There was a small attendance
due to the fact that itfwas a pleasant
day and the pressure of work made
most of the members feel that it was
necessary for them to remain at home.
There is to be another meeting in
August when the details for the annual
meeting will be thoroughly discussed.
The names of farmers who are plan
ning to go to the National Dairy show
are beginning to come in. Have you
planned to go? If so send your name
in as early as possible. In the August
issue, details and freight rates will be
discussed that the farmers may be
better able to estimate the cost of the
trip.
In this issue we are giving a list of
the members of the association who
have paid their dues. There are quite
a number whom we consider members,
but are not in this list simply because
the dues have not been paid in. It is
hoped that such persons will forward
their dues at once to the secretary.
The association needs the dues and we
feel that there is plenty of opportunity
for the farmers to get their money's
worth if they care to. We now have
340 members paid up. This is consid
erable more than have ever been paid
at this time of the year, and members
are joining at the present time which
would indicate the largest paid up
membership since the organization was
formed. In the last week there have
been 10 memberships paid, most of
which are new members. The associ
ation is in better shape to render the
services expected of it than ever
before. The future is to say the least,
very encouraging.
During the last half of July and the
month of August the county agent will
spend a considerable part of the time
in the organizing and reorganizing four
cow testing associations in the county.
The Lamoille Valley association has so
many on its waiting list that it has
been deemed advisable to organize
another association in the section. As
was announced a short time ago the
Glover association will be reorganized
to commence work early in the fall.
The farmers of the town of Brighton
have shown considerable interest in
cow test work and a new association
which will include the towns of Bright
on, Charleston, and part of Morgan is
almost a certainty. The Derby asso
ciation is also to be reorganized, and
this is the largest in the county. The
Craftsbury association has employed a
new man as tester by the name of Mer
rill Barrett to take the place of C. F.
Wright who was tester for two and
one-half years, who resigned to take
charge of a garrfge in Montpelier.
Ihere is an opportunity for some of
the farmers of Craftsbury who are not
in this association to become members
as Mr. Wright did not devote all of his
time to this work and there are five or
six days open for as many members who
have herds of 15 cows or over.
Beet Pulp as a Substitute for
Corn Silage
Many farmers are discussing the
probable outcome of the poor corn
season and many feel that they will
have a serious loss of returns from
their dairy due to the fact that the
indications are of a poor corn crop and
a shortage of silage. Many are consi
dering putting clover, millet, oats,
and other forage crops in the silo to
take the place of corn ensilage. In
general it can be said that there is no
substitute which will compare favor
ably with corn for silage from every
point of view. The other things men
tioned can be used in case of wet
weather when the crops cannot be
cured for hay, but it is a serious ques
tion whether clover or the other substi
tutes can be fed to as good advantage
in the form of silage as they can as
dry fodder. It is always desirable to
have some succulent food for a dairy
cow. Corn silage is the logical one
under ordinary circumstances, but the
farmers need not fear a serious loss
because of the promising hay crop, and
also because beet pulp can be substi
tuted for silage to very good advan
tage. It has been found cheaper to
feed beet pulp than to raise mangles or
turnips for stock. Beet pulp costs
from $26 to $29 a ton and it requires
from 2 to 3 pounds of dry beet pulp
for a days ration for the succulent
food for a cow. Beet pulp will take
up about 70 per cent water after it is
soaked up. Many farmers find it con
venient to make a water tight box,
put in about the amount of pulp that
is required for the preceding feed and
applying the amount of water that it
will take up, then by feeding time it is
thoroughly soaked up and can be fed
with a shovel or pail. f.t requires
considerable less time to feed beet
pulp than it does to feed silage, and
there is no expense in the preparation
of the food as there is in ensilage corn.
Several farmers in the county have
fed beet pulp and are very well
pleased with the results. Many pure
bred breeders who are making official
records are using it, and it is becoming
popular on the market for the pur
pose mentioned. Many farmers object
to corn ensilage because of the expense
of putting it in the silo, but would like
a succulent food. Beet pulp can be
recommended to such as a practical
feed.
Dairy Cow Breeders' Associ
ation Last summer the county agent had
requests from dairy men from Massa
chusetts for good straight, high-grade,
dairy cows, in car lots. He was able
to assist in filling one such order and the
farmer received a good price for his
stock. Undoubtedly there will be in
quiries for the same this summer and
the county agent would be glad to
direct such buyers to farmers in Or
leans county for their surplus stock.
This does not mean that the buyers
care for canners or three-teated cows,
or blemished in any way, but must be
of such character as the farmer will
guarantee in every way., For such
stock, buyers are willing to pay an
extra good price. There are breeders
enough in Orleans county who have
used a pure-bred bull for several years
to have the quality of stock which
would meet this market Would it
not be a profitable venture for the
pure-bred breeders and the breeders of
high-gradestock to have an organiza
tion whereby they can co-operate to
sell their stock to better advantage?
This thing has been accomplished in
several counties in the east and has
brought splendid results. The county
agent will be only too pleased to assist
and help promote such an organization,
but the demand for such an organiza
tion should come from the farmers
Any who are interested may corre
spond with the county agent, and if
sufficient interest is developed a ven
ture will be made into a pure-bred and
grade stock organization.

THE WiXYEKS&WZAEl
The low first cost of a Ford car is not to be
confused with low value. The best manufact
uring methods, combined with the highest
grade of materials and the services of specialist
workmen produce a better car at a lower price
Ford cars are built to serve and satisfy under all
