43 A. & M. Owned
Holsteins Complete
Successful Test-Year
Forty-three registered Holsteins
owned by Texas A. & M. College,
produced enough milk during the
past test-year to provide 166 fam
ilies of four with four quarts of
milk daily for the entire year, ac
cording to a report of the Hol-
stein-Friesian Association of
America. The average production
per cow was 410.3 pounds butter-
fat from 12,173 pounds milk.
The average cow in the herd pro
duced nearly 2V2 times as much
butterfat as the country’s average
dairy cow, using U. S. Department
of Agriculture statistics as the
basis o focmparison. Thirty-one
members of this Holstein herd were
milked three times daily, the re
mainder twice.
The highest producer in the herd
was the five-year-old , Paulantha
Lady Maid that produced’ 18,974
pounds milk with 598.4 pounds but
terfat in 335 days on thrfee milk
ings daily.
The production records obtained
by having these cows on test will
be useful in planning a breeding
program for the future improve
ment of the herd.
Testing was supervised by The
Holstein-Friesian Association of
America, Brattleboro, Vt.

Annual Houston A. & M. Club Dance
To Be Held December 23 at Plantation
The annual Houston A. & MA
club dance will be held Monday
night, December 23, at the Plan
tation, president James R. Lane
announced today. Louis Panico and
his orchestra, coming from Chi
cago’s Edgewater Beach Hotel, will
play for the event which will last
from 9 till 1, Lane said.
William T. Grisham is general
chairman of the dance, and his
committee includes John T. Cox,

in particular are we anxious to
have the members of the junior
and senior Houston ev-student or
ganizations, the members of the
Houston A. & M. Mother’s club and
Aggie parents present at the
dance.”
Exclusive use of the Plantation

tion for the dance and admission is
by personal invitation. Houston
ex-students who wish to attend the
function should get in touch with
Lane at College Station, Grisham
said.
Part of the program will be set
aside for a contest to select a girl
to represent the club as duchess
at the annual A. & M. Cotton Pag
eant and Ball next spring. Any
date of a Houston Aggie who is
a member of the organization will
be eligible for the honor, Lane said.
“The Aggie escorting the girl se

in the Cotton Pageant,” Lane said.
He further stated that the judges

ed in a few days.

Texas Fire Commissioner Urges
Pre-Holiday Check of Fire Hazards
Faced with the danger of a-
mounting death toll brought on by
the widespread use of highly in
flammable Christmas decorations,
Marvin Hall, state fire insurance
commissioner, today urged Texans
to request local firemen to make
a pre-holiday check of fire hazards
in the home.
“Where at all possible, firemen
will welcome the opportunity to
eliminate the hazards,” Hall de
clared. “Firemen have a special
responsibility to guard against fire
hazards at Christmas, and the own
ers of homes and business estab
lishments should call upon them to
make inspections when in doubt as
to the safety of their holiday deco
rations.”
A Christmas tree kept in a buck
of water will retain much of its
normal dampness and thus cut
down the danger of a hot blaze.
However, hte Commissioner warned
against placing trees in such a way
as to block exits, and admonished
against their use near stoves and
steam radiators.
They should be decorated only
with asbestos, glass and metal. The
tree alone will make a dangerous
fire, without the added fuel of
paper, cotton snow and pyrolylin
decorations.
The wide use of electric extension
cords, Christmas tree lights and
lights in windows bring new haz
ards to every home.

1500 Turkeys Are
Killed and Dressed
In Aggie Meat Lab
Does it pay to dress turkeys and
ship them to the New York mar
ket or it is more profitable to sell
them at live weight locally, is the
question that several Brazos
County turkey raisers intend to
answer this week.
Under the supervision of L. V.
Halbrook, teacher of vocational ag
riculture at Bryan high school, a
dozen raisers killed and dressed
1500 turkeys at the Texas A. & M.
College meats laboratory. They
have been graded according to
market standards by George P.
McCarthy, poultry husbandman of
the Texas A. & M. College Exten
sion Service, and shipped to New
York by express where they will
be sold and the proveeds divided
cooperatively among the growers.
Brazos county produces approx
imately 20,000 turkeys annually
and in the past has sold them on
foot to dealers but in order to find
out which is the more profitable,
they are shipping one carload to
New York as an experiment.
George Cargill is president of
the Brazos County Turkey Raisers
Association and is the man behind
the test. Among others cooperating
are Sam B. Pate, of Harvey, and
Howard Todd, secretary of the as
sociation, both raisers of large
flocks.
By R. R. Lyle
Two farmers, Mr. Jones and Mr.
Smith, have thirty cows between
them; they sell them at different
prices, but each received the same
sum. If Mr. Jones has sold his
cows at Mr. Smith’s price, he would
have received $320, and if Mr.
Smith had sold his cows at Mr.
Jones’ price, he would have re
ceived $245. How many cows did
each man sell ? What price per
cow did each receive for his cows?
Answer: Mr. Jones sold 16 and
got $17.50 per head. Mr. Smith
sold 14 and received $20.00 per
head.
Fish Jones says to Fish Smith:
“Wen you are fifteen times the
age I was when you were half as
old as I am, you will be one-half
again as old as I would be were I
as much older than you as you are
older than I am.”
To this Fish Smith replied:
“When you will be as much older
than you are as you are younger
than I was year before last, our
combined ages will be fifth.”
How old are Fish Jones and Fish
Smith.
Answer: Fish Jones 18 and Fish
Smith 24.
