PUREBRED SHORTHORN AS CALFJLUB PRIZE White Legacy, a beautiful purebred Shorthorn now In the herd of the State College of Agriculture, -will be given as a prize to some member of the Georgia Calf Club at the South eastern Fair In Atlanta in October. To be eligible for this prize one must be a member of the Calf Club and have exhibited at the county fair previous to coming to the Southeastern. Any calf to be eligible to compete for the prize must be a grade calf and sired by a registered Shorthorn bull. The name and the register num ber of the sire of each competing calf must be given at the fair. The con test is open to all members of the Calf Club, w-hich is composed of both girls and boys. As indicated by his name the bull is pure white in color. He is straight, level in lines and possesses a smooth ness and symmetry throughout that makes him pleasing to the most criti cal eye. He is valued at $760, and will go Into the ring at tho Southeastern weighing well above 1,000 pounds and showing os a two-year-old. White Legacy was sired by Scotch Legacy, for many years the principal stud bull of the Lespedeza herd at Hickory Valley, Tennessee. While at the head of this noted nursery of high class Shorthorns, Scotch Legacy had the distinction of siring the grand champion calf herd at the Interna tional Livestock Show held at Chicago. Here it was that his get met and suc cessfully defeated all comers in the calf herd class from both the United States and Canada. When It is remembered that White Legacy has the same sire as the victo rious lot of youngsters that won at Chicago his value becomes apparent, and Bhould give great Impetus to the work and Interest In tho Georgia Calf Clubs. VALUE OF PUREBRED SIRE TO HEAD HERD Scrub And Grade Bulls Legislated Out Of Existence In Oregon To turn other than purebred bulls of a recognized beef breed upon the open range cast of the Cascade mountains in Oregon has been made unlawful by action of recent Oregon legislature. This law, which the cattle men them selves demanded, demonstrates dear ly the unlimited confidence and faith which the ranchmen place in purebred sires. In the twenty-live years just passed no section of the country has effected such a steady and consistent improve ment in its cattle as has the western range. The persistent use of pure bred sires has changed a motley col lection of upstanding, narrow, shallow loinod, heavy horned cattle into the most, uniformly good beef cattle bred in any section of the United States. Although the ranchmen could buy plenty of well made beef bulls of non descript or even very high grade blood, they are so overwhelmingly in favor of the purebred hull that they now recognize him as the only legiti mate sire of their calves and have leg islated the scrub and grade bulls out of existence. The most common objection to the purebred sire is “I cannot afford to buy one." A few figures will demon strate the fact that the breeder can not afford to be without one. The fig tires given is the record of two cows at the lowa Kxperiment Station. A common scrub cow purchased In Arkansas was placed In the college dai ry herd and given feed and treatment the same as the purebred cows in the herd. She -was mated with a pure bred Holstein bull and the resulting grade heifer in her first lactation made a record that more than doubles that of her scrub dam. The dam gave 2,839 pounds of milk within the year and the grade heifer gave 4,704 pounds of milk or 2,365 pounds more than her dam. This increased flow of milk in the grade heifer for the year was worth $13.19. Given a herd of ten such scrub cows and placing a scrub bull worth S2O with them, we should not expect an in crease in their milk production. How ever, if a purebred hull worth $l5O were used his first ten heifers would pay in the first lactation period a com bined profit of about $l3O more than the daughters of the scrub bull. This amount represents the difference in price that the farmer can affox'd to pay between a purebred bull and a scrub. The profit to be derived from a pure bred sire does not end with the first generation. There should be more daughters and many more lactation periods. The breeder Is also building up a herd of uniform appearance and superior production. What Is true of dairy cattle holds true with other classes of livestock. — (Ira W. Arthur, State College .
