LYNDEN, WASH., THURSDAY, SEP. 19, 1918
LYNDEN COWS MUSTGIVE 330 POUNDS FAT
Yield Necessary If Profit Is To Be
Made, Annual Report Of Test-
ing Association Shows
That to pay the expenses ofV1"
0-1
duction and to allow the dairyman
a fair warge for his labsr, a cow in
the Lynden district must produce 330, pounds of fat a year, is the con-clusion of Victor Morgan, tester of
the Ferndale Testing Asaociajton. af-ter surveying the results of a year's
experience with the association.In his annual report. Morgan de-
clares:
"Using the average cost of feedfor the Association and adding there-
to the other expenses of production,ias estimated by the County Agent. H.B. Carroll, jr.. and the Tester of theAssociation, the following conclusionwas arrived at: That to pay ex-
penses of production and to allow thedairyman a fair wage for his labor,
considering the average price of milk
during the testing year, a cow must
produce approximately 330 pounds offat per year."
Morgan has the following to say |about proper feeds:
"Protein is one of the most es-
sential of feed constituents in milk
production. In this respect, clover
hay is superior by far to timothy or
.some of the other grass hays. Like-
wise, is a highly protein feed like oil
meal, soy bean meal or cottonseedmeal and a mill feed like bran, sup-
erior to straight carbohydrate feeds,
i "Where a good legume hay is a-
i vailable and is supplemented by sil-age, results indicate that it is more
profitable to use a minimum of grainbecause in the use of a purchasedfeed, the dealer exacts a toll, repres-
jenting his profit. However, where
! roughage is largely fed. this toll is! diverted into the da'.rymr.n's pocket
;as ho embodies alike the function of
grower, dealer and purchaser. If thegrain used were home grown, there
would be no economy effected in thisway, but the only home grown grain.
I oats, commands such a firm price up-
on the market as to render its use
as a dairy feed inadvisable.

"The use of a certain amount ofgrain is no doubt profitable when Itis obtainable and when not too ex-
pensive, the nutrients it contains con-
sidered. Moreover, the major port-
ion of the grain should be fed to thecows in the early part of their lact-
ation period. They need it most then
and will mnke the best use of it when
producing heavily; whereas a cow
yielding as low as 25 pounds of fat
per month would probably not be ser-
iously affected whether fed grain ornot, and most likely would producemore economically without it."
The yearly average per cow in the
Ferndale association was 302.03 lbsof butter fat and 6.936 pounds of
milk. The average cow consumed2,940 pounds of silage, 3,037 poundsof roughage. 1,349 pounds of grain,

den was in the Association under test

FOCH, MARSHAL OF FRANCE, AND GEN. PERSHING
The Lynden Red Cross next week
will undertake to collect a huge ship-:, ment of clothing to ssnd to the im-' prisoned people in occupied Franceand Belgium. All over the country,
the week of Septembo* 23 to 30 will
be devoted to this work of clothingthese sufferers.
In Lynden. garments may be left
|at the Masonic Hall, or at any of thestores.
The Lynden Red Cross today issuedthe following appeal to the people ofthe district:
Back of the German wall that hashemmed in Belgium and a part ofNorthern France, ten million humanbeings look to us for clothing as well
as food. We. who are clothed, can
hardly appreciate what dire need
these people are for lack of necessi-
ties. Stocks of clothing and raw ma-terial are long since exhausted. There
are no imports other than those theCommission of Relief in Belgium hasbeen permitted to make, and thesenever have been sufficient. The world
is now short of both clothing andraw material, so the Commission canno longer purchase what is needed.But you can give it.
Every household in the land hassome spare clothing, worn or out-
grown, of little use here, but desper-ately needed by the destitute there.
This extract from a letter of a well-to-do lady of Brussels shows the con-
ditions exactly."Perhaps you will laugh when you
hear that I wear a cloak made frommy husband's garde civique over-
coat, a waist made from his football 1i shirt, and a skirt made of a dyed
bedsheet. Mother had a suit made of
the table cloth, J. and M. have cloaksmade of woolen blankets, and S. a
dress made of burlap. But all thisis only amusing in comparison withthe wretchedness of the population.
After all we remain calm and conn-
dent of victory."A recent Brussels advertisement
says: "I will give up to 126 francs
ts2s) for new or worn bedsheets."
There is an immediate need for ev-
ery sort of garment, blankets. Bheets,
and shoes.
The wonderful results of the cloth-ing campaign of last March assistedin helping to meet the demands, butwhen we realize that there are ten
million inhabitants in the occupied
regions, most of whom must look to
the outside world for protectionagainst the rigors of winter, it is
seen that we cannot send too much.As long as the war lasts, Belgium
and occupied France must depend
chiefly on America for aid. To in- jsure the steady supply of garments
which are so much needed, we appeal
again to the generosity of the Ameri-
can public to give and give largely.Every kind of garment, for all ag-
es and both sexes, is urgently need-ed. In addition, piece goods, light,warm, canton flannel and other kinds
of cloth from which to make gar-
ments for new born babies, ticking,
sheeting and blankets, woolen goods
of any kind and shoes of every size
are asked for. Scrap leather is need-
ed for repairing footwear.

ments For Stricken P»o|»le Of Bel-gium And France
"At the hour when the enemy counted upon Imposing a German peaceupon us. General Forh and his admirable troops vanquished him."
These were the words with which Premier Clemenceau, tbe "Tiger ofFrance," accompanied the bestowal upon General Foch of the ancient andhonorable title Of Marshal of Franc* in recognition of the halting of theGerman drive by the allied chief commander. ?
All tbe world knows of the gallant conduct of American troops, distributedalong the firing line under the orders of General Pershing, In the great battleswhich ended the Hun advance. ?

1b it by buying Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds.

Since the clothes will be subjected
to the hardest kind of wear, only,garments made of strong and dur-
able materials should be sent. It is
useless to offer to any afflicted pop-

practical.Garments need not be in perfect
'condition. A hundred thousand des-

are eager to earn a small livelihood
,by repairing gift clothing and mak-ing new garments adapted to needs
with which they are familar.

TELLS HOW LYNDENBOY FOUGHT AT MARNE
Eastern Correspondent Describe* Des-perate Fighting In Which LocalSergeant Had Part
The kind of fighting that a Lyn-; den boy is doing at the Marne frontIs described in a thrilling story toldby the special correspondent of theAtlanta. Georgia. Constitution in arecent issue of thr.t pr.per.
! Under date of July 18. the corres-pondent tells the story as follows:
"One of the few consecutive stor-ies concerns four men who had beenpals before and who went through ittogether, and it is a key to the kindof fighting in the open our men have
rushed into. The four are Lieuten-
ant Chester Fraser. a n -.tive of Bost-on, but more recently of Rochester.N. V.; First Sergeant Walter G. Al-
len of near Denver; Sergeant GeorgeO. Colon, of ClaytD-. N. V.. betterknown to his shipmates as "Happy."and Sergeant Eylar Staight of Lyn-den, Wash., each of whom, incident-
ally, has been mentiored in orders
and recommended.Lieutenant Fraser and Sergeant
Colon fought together. Straight focghtwith Allen. Speaking of the lieuten-ant, one of the sergeants said of him
what I consider the finest thing I
have ever heard said of an officer
in our army.
"Lieutenant Fraser." he said, "is
an officer who doesn't say 'Go.' butsays 'Come on.' "
The officer, followed by his serg-
eant and a number of men. led an
attack on the machine gun nests in
Belleau Woods and in the wheatfields. They crawled to within a fewyards of the Germans and routed two
squads with four Maxims each.
I In the third attack, they were met
by a hail of bullets from a nest in
the wheat and they threw themselvesflat on the ground.
Lieutenant Fraser and SergeantColon tried to dig themselves in. Theofficer borrowed Colon's mess tin.and Colon himself used his bayonet.
, the two succeeding in scraping ashallow hole.
Staight and Allen were the only
other survivors of this machine gun
attacking party, and they.too, were
digging themselves in. The gun was
firing directly at them, and according
to Staight, they felt the bullets pass-ing through the hair or their heads.
The Germans used shrapnel, also,
and a piece of it hit Lieutenant Fras-er, cutting into his right-hand thumb.
Colon got out a piece of cotton and
bandaged his officer while both lay
on the ground. Had either raisedhimself on his elbow, he would have
been cut down by the bullets.
They recount how Staight. having
dug in about n foot, and fooling muchbetter, saw the strawberries which
were growing with the poppies in
the wheat.
"Have some strawberries," he saidto Allen, who was lying nearby.
Despite the shrilling machine gun
bullets, he heard Allen reply:"No cream here, so I won't,
thankß."And in the next breath Allen was
cursing his gas mask, because it was
keeping him an inch above ground
and that inch was almort the margin
between safety and the bullets which
cut like knives.
It was Sergeant Staight who killeda German machine gunner and founda bayonet with three notches on the
handle in the German's belt.
