Queen Jersey Tells Her Story
(Continued on Page Twelve)
ing food for man and beast from
youth to old age.
Here are a few of the things
that I, Zenia Sparkling Ivy, have
accomplished in promoting the
i breed of we Jerseys. First, I
wish to pay tribute to Mrs. W.
P Harvey, my mistress and my
master, William McPherson, a
master breeder. They were two
awfully good friends of we
Jerseys who we never were too
| busy or too tired to say a good
| word and lend a helping hand
in behalf of this great cause.
Early one afternoon I heard
the sputtering of a motor truck
out front at Mrs. Iversons, near
Athens, Georgia, my former
home. In a few minutes I was
headed down the highway some
200 miles to Pebble Hill Planta
tion, near Thomasville, Georgia.
I There I was led into a quarter of
। million dollar barn with grazed
brick walls, glass windows and
| green - shutters, and there were
I revolving feed troughs and
| drinking founts.
Looking across the hill I saw
I several ladies, said to be from
i the Island, the native land of
we' Jerseys. This all caused me
:to wonder if Mr. Mac hadn’t
sort of slipped, so I donned my
: working cloths and got down to
my knitting and in due time
Mr. Mac came in one morning
and gave orders for me to be
put on a 24 hour day shift, day
in and day out the year round.
I was kept on this shift for
three long years without any
time off for holidays such as
Thanksgiving or Christmas. Dur
ing these three years I establish
ed three official tests, totaling
upward of 2,300 pounds of but
terfat, which was about thre§
times my live weight.
Since my sons and daughters
were showing up very promising
Mr. Mac decided I was too val
uable as a brood cow to further
tax me as a producer so he gave
me private quarters out on the
i farm under the care of a trusted
i servant, where I remained
throughout the remainder of my
days. During this time I had
produced some 17 offsprings and
among these were three full
brothers, superior sires. This is
a record which no other Jersey
cow dead, or alive, holds.
Here are a few of tne things
my progeny has accomplished.
One son has more tested daugh
ters with a high butterfat ave
rage than any other bull liv
ing or dead. One of my sons sold
for $25,000, a grandson sold for
$27,500 which is the highest
price ever paid for American
bred bulls. A double great grand
son sold for $16,600 at six
months of age this being the
highest price ever paid for a
bull calf. A daughter had a life
time production record upward
of 8.000 pounds of butterfat, and
a granddaughter produced 1,076
pounds of butterfat in 165 days.
The breed promotion sale held
Baltimore farms in 1946 was
ponsored by five breeders that
were promoting the bloodlines

of the Ivey Royal and Standard

breeds were using some of mine
as senior herd sirs. I am pround
to say and rightfully I should
be. as my name (Zenia Sparkl

44 pedigrees of the 44 head

old and up) consigned to this
sale, selling for a total of $134,-
904. an average of $3,066, this
being the most ever having been
paid for a consignment of
American breed Jerseys.
Many of my descendants have
gone north, east, and west to
complete with some of the best
and if an extended pedigree of
them were written into a book
it would be worthy of hanging
in the hall of Jersey fame.
Yes, for 20 long years away
down South did I roam and
daily filled the milk pail with

was away down South did I take
my stand and made history, not

land. Yes, away down South as
we all know, where milk and
honey flow and the good things
grow. But alas, Mother Ivy has
gone where the good ladies go.

A wealthy farmer is murdered

Memorial Held

By SIDNEY CAMP
Member of Congress
On Wednesday of this week
Memorial Services were held in
the Hall of the House of Repre

■ away during the past year- nam
ely: Senators John H. Overton of
Louisiana; Harlan J. Bushfield
of South Dakota; and J.Melville

Representatives Thomas L. Owen
of Illinois; Milton H. West of
Texas; John J. Delaney of New

and these addresses were deliver
] ed by women members -Mrs. Re

At the same time these service
I were being held, th* funeral and

taking place at Arlington Nation

Mr. Forrestal had suffered a ner

I strain and overwork Th e same
can be said of several of the oth

The work here at times is most

of our public service is indeed
grave and weighty. Whatever
I may be said of the results ob

jin 1945 the responsibilities of
men here‘who have been stri

There is a brighter outlook
I now of a settlement of the “cold
war ’ and the establishment of
peace. Let us hope above all
mgs for this accomplishment.
