H Dungan of the University of Illinois argues for winter home testing of seed corn to avoid poor stands due to late fall maturity and early frosts. The rag doll tester can check germination near 90 percent, with 80 degree warmth and damp cloths, enabling farmers to secure better supplies before planting.

Dairy Cow as Producer in Feed to Milk Conversion
Hoard's Dairyman notes a 1 200 pound steer yields 648 pounds of dry matter for feed annually, while a dairy cow producing 18 000 pounds of milk also yields 2 200 pounds dry matter for food and calves each year. The cow consumes eight or nine tons of feed yearly and transforms it into milk and calf, effectively a factory processing material far surpassing her weight.
