Cedar Falls, April 2s.-The secretary
of the Benson Cow Testing Association
has completed his list of certificates
of merit, cows for the association for
the years work ending March l. To
win n certificate OF merit q COW, must
produce a certain specified amount OF
butter fat in a year. The Benson US
ISOLATION report follows: NJ
THE year ending Feb. 80, 1916, has
as whole not been a prosperous one
for Benson Cow Testing Association.
The wet and cold season and the all
most complete failure OF the corn crop
has shown its effect on the herds.
Every herd in the association except
one is way below the preceding years
work. And. as a whole, the association
average is much lower than the rrevi-
Gus year. The association has a small
er number of certificate of merit cows
and they have lower records. There is
just one herd in the entire association
that has made any progress, the herd
of Theodore Hansen. His Is the only
one to average higher than the preced-
ing year and he deserves great credit
for the way he has kept his herd go
ing: it helps out a great deal ON the
general average. n ~ n *, -
Quite number of cows that had
been freshening in the spring were car
ried over to freshen last fall. or the
association would have shown n lot
more high producers for the year. But
cows that have MIXED from Is to 20
months are not doing much when heavy
