DAIRY SESSION REPORT
CONTAINS SOUND ADVICE

LIE ldSI w ioHlh5tOH otdlc Ddi =
mems Convention at Chehalis de-
veloped many things of interest to
the owners of cattle. The follow
ing are excerpts from the report of
the secretary, just issued:
H. C. DAVIS, Granger: I can not
refrain from saying that good deal
of the money to replace that breed
ing stock, in my opinion, will come
to the state of Washington. for with.
in the borders of our state we have
world record cows of three recog-
nized breeds, namely, Jersey, Ayr
shire and Holstein.
J. C. BUSH, Chehalis: We will
never get down to business until we
learn to get closer together, until
We have a stronger state dairymen's
association; until We have more COM
munity breeding; until we have
more local associations and clubs;
more cow testing associations, more
cooperation. Let us pull together
to make this state, which has such
great natural resources as a dairy
ing state, great dairying state in
reality.
J. w. McCUTCHEON, Adna; I do
not want to boast of my success, but
rather to tell you of the mistakes
l have made during the time l have
been milking cows and trying 20
improve my dairy herd. My gray
est mistake was starting with a poor
foundation and trying to raise calves
on insufficient milk and insufficient
grain ration. Gentlemen it was not
altogether through lack of know
ledge l made these mistakes, but
through lack of enterprise. For ex-
pediency's sake l started too cheap
and sold too much grain.
e. l.. BREWER, Satsop: Under
stand your COW. Get acquainted
with her. love her, pet her. 1t has
is very dark place" Each COW
is an individual problem and must
be studied as you would study any
problem before you.
The following are resolutions a.
dopted at the meeting:
Resolved, that the association
favors the establishment in Washing
ton of dairy show that shall in
clude not only live stock, but be
educational as to processes, applian-
ces and all that has to do with the
business of dairying; that such a
dairy show shall be national in
character and western in manage
ment and organized along the lines
upon which the National Dairy
show. annually held at Chicago, IS
carried on.
On being put to a vote, this was
unanimously approved.
Whereas, the Introduction of dairy
products into the United States in
general and the Pacific northwest in
particular has resulted in great loss
to the dairy industry of the state.
without corresponding benefit to the
consumer.
Be it resolved. that we are oppos-
ed to the law permitting the import
alton of dairy products from foreign
countries and pledge our best efforts
to the repeal Of the same.
A somewhat heated and lengthy
discussion followed this resolution,
which was finally accepted by the
majority of the members.
Resolved. that owing to the great
difference of opinion among the au-
thOrities of the cities of the state
as to the methods, and to the mega
tive results obtained by other states
from compulsory tests, We are op-
posed at this time to radical legis-
lation, but we favor an educational
campaign conducted through our
state dairy department for the pur-
pose of eradicating as far as posi-
BILE tuberculosis from the dairy
herds of Washington.
