It's worth considerable on cold
mornings to have your motor start
easily. That's the assuarance you
get by using Dixie high test gasoline. Costs more per gallon, less
per mile.   All Dixie stations sell it.
Arthur fLutz, Saline, is the 1928
champion corn grower of Michigan by
virtue oi producing a crop which
yielded 112 bushels of shelled corn to
the acre m the 5-acre growing con-
test conducted by the farm crops department of "Michigan State college,
in which the winners were announced
Farmers Week.
Six other Michigan farmers grew
crops which were in the coveted 109
bushel class. The state is divided into three regions in this contest so
that the competitors in each area
have similar climatic conditions ■ to
contend with. Leaders in each region receive medals from, the college
and those who make the highest profit per acre get prizes, given, by com.
me'fcial companies.
In addition to securing the greatest yield, Mr. fLutz made the most
money per acre from his crop. Bis
profits were $71.37 per acre. This
profit is "based on the price of corn
December 1. The average cost of
production for the 42 growers who
were in the contest was §12.65,
Only three of the contestants did
not use commercial fertilizer or barnyard manure in the production of
their crops. Most of them planted
the corn on an alfalfa or sweet clover
sod.
The best profit for each region were
secured by Arthur Lutz, Saline; Ros-
coe Master, Waidron; Leland Bush,
Britton; .Rheo Welling, Waidron, for
region 1; George Kohn, Fenwick; F.
A., Smith, Mulliken and Milton Shear,
Flushing; and Lee Ferden, Chesaning,
region 2; B. W. Grandall, Bellaire;
George Rae, Bay City; C. E. Garner,
Six Lakes, and Henry Hehricksen,
Shelby, region 3.

Coal   Heaters   Forf Drinking   Water
Lower Costs of Milk Production.
At the time of the coal shortage a
few years ago, corn belt farmers
found it more economical to burn
corn than coal, but dairy specialists
at "Michigan State; college say that,
at present prices, it costs eight times
as much to, heat vfc ter for cows with
feed as it does with coal. »
. A plentiful supply of drinking
water is essential if cows are to produce large quantities of milk. All of
this water is", hej-^ed to body temperature after^'theSBOws drink it, and
this heating musfiOe done by the fuel
within the animal's body, her feed.
The only way to *iave this waste of
grain is to heat tli§ water before the
cow drinks it.      _ ;
Automatic watering systems which
supply clean, warm water for the
cow all of the timCwhen she. is in her
stall' are ideal fop winter dairying,
but, when; .this system is impossible,
the supply tank | from which cows
drink should "be ' equipped with a
heater which will'""take the chill off
the drinking water.;
The water which the cow drinks
assists to convey her food through tli2
digestive" systeiB^j^aintains vitality,
and health, and aids in the efficient
production of milk. Insufficient supplies of water" affect all of these
bodily functions, and the cow which is
forced to drink ice cold water drinks
as little as possible.
The average cow produces only 15
pounds of milk daily but she drinks
50   pounds   of   water   each day.   Tc j
heat this water to body temperature
will require from two to three cents
worth of feed.    High producing'eows ,
may drink as much as 100 pounds of j
water daily and the cost of heating
this water with feed will be propor-4
tionately higher.

SALINE DEFEATS MANCHESTER.!
Manchester, February 1 I
After handing Dexter a 49-10 defeat a week ago Tuesday,- the boys
found themselves .Friday night 'again
and overcame Manchester by a 28 to
8 count.
In the Dexter fracas Bill Carr was
high point man, tossing in eight
field goals for 16 points. Captain
Estermyer was next with seven.
The Reserves also played the Dexter junior aggregation, coming out
on top by a score of 31-15. Frankie
Jordan was Saline's star, collecting a
grand total of 13 points. (Bill Carr's
only rival.)
In the Manchester .affair Friday
night Bill Carr was again high point
man, garnering 14. Jack Probyn
was the only man on the team to
play the entire game. He was celebrating his last appearance in a purple suit becuse of the fact that he
has been in high school for nine semesters and this one will render him
ineligible, according to the M. -I. A.
A. Floyde Carr probably will take
his place.
George McTaggart, a candidate for
the position vacated by Jack Probyn,
has also been declared ineligible. This
was George's first year out for practice and he was a promising candidate
until this setback occurred. He will
undoubtedly help . George Martin at
the guard posts next year.
William H. Berkey of Cass county, publisher of the Vigilant at Cass-
opolis, will be a candidate for membership on the State Board of Agriculture at the Republican convention,
which is scheduled to convene in"
Lansing on Wednesday, February 20.
Editor , Berkey's candidacy was
not of his own choosing, his friends
throughout, the* state being responsible for his hat being in the ring
having assured him support from
every section of Michigan.
Mr. Berkey, who has retired as
president of the Michigan Press Association, is not only a -publisher of
unquestioned ability, but is well
qualified to pass upon present day
farm problems, being the owner of a
large farm northeast of his home
city.
His candidacy is that to succeed
Herbert Gowdy, of Berrien county,
who voluntarily retires from the
board at the end of his present
term. It is conceded in political
circles that Southwestern Michigan
is entitled to a place on the board
and state leaders freely predict that
the Cass county publisher will have
plenty of support on the floor of the
convention.
