. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. ig 18 BETTER FRUIT Page ij familiar with one of the well-known irrigated districts of the West where many of the farmers have made a spe- cialty of dairying. Two of the very best herds of that tract that have been tested and have a wide reputation for high production are now offered for sale. When the best of dairymen are thinking of quitting the business it is well for us to think seriously of the future. It is my opinion, confirmed by many experienced men with whom I have talked, that now is a mighty good time to get into the dairy business. Good cattle are being sold in many sec- tions at quite reasonable prices and, as before indicated, there can be no other outcome than such prices for dairy products of all kinds as will enable the dairyman to meet all costs of keeping the herd and have a reasonable profit for his efforts. In (he orchard may be produced corn, peas and oats, and other crops for silage. The production of legume hays such as clover and alfalfa fit in well with the fertilization of the orchard and give the orchard dairymen the very best roughages for milk production. If the silo is not advisable, root crops can be grown between the tree rows to wonderful advantage. Grains may be purchased or may be grown in con- nection with the orchard. The combi- nation of legume hay for roughage, of either silage or root crop for suc- culence, and of our Western-grown grains for concentrates, gives exactly the right kind of ration for heavy milk and butter-fat production. The grains that are needed are barley and oats, in addition to bran, which is now one of the relatively cheapest feeds that can be bought in the market. The dairy cow, therefore, fits in with the orchard plan for between-the-row crops and not only furnishes the family with highly-nutritious foodstuffs, but in addition gives the fruit grower a week by week or month by month cash income to supplement the income from fruit production. Swine fit in well with dairy cat
