How Now, Brown Cow; Is Keeping
You Worth the iMiilk ?
Hy Kenneth Diimoare
NBA StaffCorresrnidezht
.Ever wonldered if it would be
cheapen' to o.wn a cow and have
all the milk you want within
tugging distance?
Well, sir,, if you're considering
such a venture, the U.S., Agri-
culture Department is making a
game effort to lend you a hell?-
ing hand. But watch out,
,Experts at the Agricultural
,Research Service .have just ta-
ken the wraps of); a preliminary
master plan, to determine whe-
ther it costs More to Milk your
own OW$ ar.,bi y the stiff' at the
store,
Officially it's called, "A '1Vleth-
eld for Estimating the Relative
Costs of Home Produced Milk
and Purchased ]Milk,"
, * , .,
Unofficially Ws probably the
first attempt ever: made by the
federal goyerriment to see if do-
lt -yourself down on the farm is
worth all the trouble, ,
It's also one .of the, most - com- "
plicated schemes ever devised
by Uncle Sam to make some-
thing simple. Among other
things, you'll need a couple of
economists and accountants for
assistance.
To make this cow calculation
or "Is old Bessie worth it?" test
requires a special five page work
sheet drawn up by the experts.
It's full of neatly lined columns,.
strange symbols and lots of
numbers.
You're not allowed to leave•
nut a thing. -Under cow ex-
penses, for example, you must
list veterinary, medicine and
breeding; .fees,: corn, ;.hay, corn -
•
hnereial feed, equipnlent and per-
sonae property tax,
4
You, also have to figure the.
cast of buying a cow, interest on
the investment and depreciation,
per year Of use, In ease You
didn't know, a cow priced at $162
depreciates $13 a year according
to a sample worksheet,
The cream really thickens and
sours when. you get to the page
which estimates milk needs in
relation to SuPP1y On this chart
you must enter the monthly
amounts of milk used for drink-
ing, cooking, cream, butter and
cottage cheese.
There ate various explanations
along the way, `however. 'Under
cottage cheese it notes in par-
enthesis that, "If No 10 is posi,•
tive er zero, enter 0, if No. IQ
is negative enter i/4 of 'this neg-
ative. number,"•
The last page attempts to pull
everything together and clarify
the situation. A sample of your
yearly efforts' alight, look like
this: ' • '
1. Family steed met by supply,
1qts. 3) whole ;milk. (Worksheet IV,
, , , 1422,
2. Cost of having milk cow
(Worksheet III, 14) , . , $102.74..
3. Value of 'surplus milk
(Worksheet V$ . , . $10.25.
4. Net cost of home produced
milk (C2-C3)-. • . $92.49.
And 'so on.
"We're trying to make the
plan simpler,'" says Miss Eloise
Cofer of the Household Econ-
omics Branch who is in charge
of the project.
One thing she can report "for
sure. Agriculture Department
statistics • show that people who
own cows, drink more milk.

Then, without `warning, their

Three- shots were fired :at 'short

had had t1Q association with

and his character was exem•-,

The ,police made two very
thorough searches. One Was for:
the t'il, irder weapon, a 38 re-
voiverr The other Was for the
,nnan who had disappeared after
taking Jaeynth to the phone

They covered every yard of

The man in the other car
proved .a mystery, too, The Wo-
man friend said she had only
met him that same evening
when she accepted his offer of
a lift. They had just stepped
to smoke a cigarette when
Tacyihth came running up to
,them.
For some unknown reason
the man did not want it to he
knownthat he was in Epping
Forest that night, and did not
wish to be connected with the'
murder.. Although repeated ap-
peals were made for him to
come forward, he never did.
However, the police were
satisfied' that he had nothing to
do with the crime. Their Sole
purpose was to discover whe-
-ther he had seen ;anything or
anybody Suspicion$ ,in, the
forest.
At the inquest on Ken Dolden
in January, 1947, a verdict of
"Murder by person or persons
unknown” was recorded.
