MAN HEADS
COUNTY ASSOCIATION
II. II. Curtis Elected President of
Whitman County Cow Testing
AssoCiation-W. II. Beards-
ley Official Tester

II. II. Curtis, prominent Pullman
dairy farmer, has been elected presi-
dent Of the Whitman County Cow
Testing association, the organization
of which was perfected at meeting
held last Saturday evening in the
Chamber of Commerce building. A.
.G Woodward of Fairbanks is vice
president of the association; ]. d.
Carson of Pullman is secretary, and
a. B. Nystrom, head of the State
College dairy department, will ham
die the funds of the organization.
These officers, together with ]. c.
Graham of Palouse, c. II. Barclay
of Pullman and H. S. Curtiss of Pa
louise, compose the board of direct
ors. William Fl. Beardsley, gradu-
ate of w. s. c., was selected as Of
fetal tester.
The Whitman county association
is the first of it's kind in Eastern
Washington, and the organization
was accomplished by A. j. Lash
brook, dairy field agent, employed
Jointly by the State College and the
United States department of agri-
culture.
Upwards of 300 COWS are already
represented in the association and
this number will be augmented until
it will probably require the entire
time of the official tester to visit
the various herds and make the COM
prehensive tests which are required
monthly. The cost to the farmers
will be $3.50 for each COW per year.
The object of the association is
the Improvement of the herds of the
members of the organization by
means of weighing and testing the
milk from each COW, keeping feed
and products records and working
comparatively to improve the dairy
conditions of the county.
The duty of the official tester Is
to visit each herd one day a month.
He usually arrives in the afternoon,
weighs up the hay and grain fed
that night, estimates the value of
pasture or food used, weighs the
milk from each cow night and morn
ing and tests it for butter fat. All
records are carefully kept and the
profits or loss on each COW every
month thus arrived at so that by the
end of the year, the records will
show whether the COW is profitable
or not, whether she should be kept
as ap roducer and breeder or sold to
the butcher.
The dues Of the members will be
paid to the treasurer of the associa-
ton in quarterly or semi-annual in
stallments in advance and used to
pay the testers salary and any pos
sible incidental expense that may be
incurred.
Each member agrees to furnish
board and lodging for the tester one
day q month and to convey him to
his next place of work. The tester
does not work Sundays, but usually
has board and lodging over Sunday
at the pla = where he works on Sat-
urday.
A complete set of milk sheets,
herd records and production books
are furnished FREQ by the Uni;ed
States department of agriculture to
be used by the test9~ and members
OF the association.
Over $50 COW testing associations
arc in successful DUel.tion in tn.
rited Sta'os and ere accomplish
ing a vast amount of good for the
dairvm en-.
