SCRUBS BEING CLEANED OUT
West Virginia Stockmen Making Vig
orous Effort to Drive Out All
Scrub Bulls.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment ot Agriculture.)
West Virginia—largely regarded ns
a mineral-producing state—is on the
war-path to increase beef cattle pro
duction and its output of dairy prod
ucts by eradicating scrub bulls, which
are primary offenders against profit
aide and progressive live stock hus
bandry. Within a few months parts of
West Virginia where the campaign Is
most active expect to round out a
clean-up which will eliminate the
scrub bulls and leave the purebreds
as monarehs of all they survey. The
case of Roane county, W. Va., is an ex
ample of what West Virginia stockmen
accomplish when they go over the top.
The live stock specialists of the State
agricultural college, the county agent
and officers of -the Roane county farm
bureau have solidly backed up the
scrub sire clean-up.
"Not a single man turned us down,”
remarked the live stock specialist In
telling how the campaign to oust the
scrubs was conducted.
“The first of the year our local
stockmen made a declaration of Inde
pendence against scrub hulls, and work
was begun promptly in taking a thor
ough bull census. This Investigation of
sire ancestry showed that there were
200 hulls In the county, of which 102
were misfit grades and scrubs, while
98 were registered pure-breds. There
were 57 registered Herefords, 28 regis
tered Angus, and 13 registered Short
horns. Fortunately, the army of 102
grades ami scrubs was not ns formid
able as it looked on the paper, because
60 of these low grade sires were year
lings. Furthermore, the census showed
that there were only 30 men who
actually made a practice of keeping a
scrub hull.”
By correspondence and personal con
tact with farmers the state live stock
agent and the county agent waged the
battle. These men toured the county
day after day visiting the scrub hull
owners, holding meetings, and request
ing Influential farmers to assist in rel
egating the sorub sires into the ltve
tock scrap heap. In the inu'n the
scrub bull owners, once they learned
the purpose of the campaign, and < tu-e

they appreciated the benefits which
would result If they substituted pure
bred sires for the mongrels, were glad
tn dispose of their Inferior herd-hen 1
■ >rs. Detailed figures showing the in
creased value of calves sired by pure
bred® over calves of scrub parentage
were particularly convincing in gain
ing converts. Most of the scrub bull
owners were prompt in admitting the
error of their live-stock raising ways.
The Roane county banks have aided
the movement to replace poor hulls
with good ones. Every bank in the
county tins offered to lend money at
f> per cent to farmers for tin* purpose
of purchasing pure-bred sires as sub
stltutes for their scrubs.
HANDLE SHEEP WITH PROFIT
Good Drainage, Pasture, Some Shelter
and an Interested Attendant
Are Important.
The requirements of a farm when
sheep can he handled with profit an
good drainage, plenty of fr. -
ture, land that will produce clover, cl
fslfa. eowpeas, or soy beans; a u
water supply, fences that will ic c;
sheep out of growing crops and fur
nisli two or three fields for frequ ni
change of pasture, a shelter tint will
protect the flock from cold rains, wind-'
stid storms, and an attendant who can
give the flock interested and intelli
gent care.

Swine consumed more grain than
cattle last year in the United States,

BEEF CALVES ARE FAVORED
Profit Assured to Farmer With Sm*!l
Permanent Pasture and Plenty
of Feed.
The farmer who hns n small perma
nent pasture and plenty of feed might
find the raising of a few calves of the
heef type or the dual purpose type
profitable. Much will, of course. de
pend upon the calves and the methods
of raising the extra feed. There ar
men making fair profit on l»eef cattle.
Some of these are small farmers.
