Bang’s Disease Contained by Vaccination and Testing
Hoard’s Dairyman reports Bang’s disease is waning due to calfhood vaccination, milk testing, and removal of reactors. States curb shipping of Grade A milk from infected herds, with Illinois planning to classify manufactured milk by July 1, 1957. Wisconsin recommends no sale of milk or cream from non Plan A herds after January 1, 1957.

Franklin County Dairy Industry’s Prime Importance Highlighted
Franklin County agriculture centers on dairying with annual milk output near 8 million pounds and farm value around 2.47 million dollars. About 14,000 milk cows across some 200 farms produce Grade A and other milks, with 80 percent sold as fluid milk and 20 percent as butterfat. Projections show ongoing efficiency gains through herd improvement, better pastures, and modern facilities, aided by Kansas State College extension.

Bugs and heat plague dairy cattle in summer
Hoard's Dairyman warns that flies heat and poor pasturing reduce milk by limiting feed rather than directly harming cows. Night grazing increases as daytime heat drives cattle to shade while weeds and poisonous plants threaten milk flavor. Bad actors like wild onions and garlic are avoided by keeping cows off infested pastures.

Milk Consumption Increased 7 Per Cent During Past Year
National dairy data show 1954 per capita consumption rose 7 percent from 1949 to 1954 and total U S dairy foods reached about 67 million pounds. Americans averaged 410 pounds per person annually, with milk and milk products supplying substantial calcium and nutrients, while butter consumption declined in the long run. The Dairy Council notes these gains reflect a rising role of dairy in the American diet amid population growth and price index changes.

Store Chemicals Away From Milk
Prairie Iarmor and University of Wisconsin weed control specialists warn that store chemicals kept in tightly clamped containers near seed grain and milkhouse can contaminate milk and ruin germination. Best storage is a dry machine shop or shed away from dairy. One housefly can produce 180000 offspring in a month. a single fly laying 600 eggs starting April 15 could yield 180000 flies by May 15. One pound of cheese uses about ten pounds of milk.

Kansas farmer installs longest continuous milk pipeline
Scott Powelson of Anderson County completes installation of a 170 foot double strength Pyrex pipeline to move milk directly from a eighty head dairy barn to cans and wash line. The farm runs about 150 yearlings and 105 heifers with 38 acres in wheat and pasture. Milking time averages thirty minutes per shift as three herd sires and a shift to silos streamline operations.
