supply Of dairy cows. and that y. Emf.
land. too, there was shortage. 1t ds to
prevent similar condition in this
country that the dairymen were asked
BY Hoover TO do some intensive educa-
tional work.
IF ne can convince the cattle owner
that his profits ultimately will be Tar
greater il he keeps his dairy cows and
calves, we will have no trouble in
maintaining sufficient supply Of milk
butter. etc, and if we can show the
poulrty man that his chickens can
bring him more money as egg produc-
ers there will be no shortage there" "
Commissioner Barney said.
Fifteen field workers are available
for the work in Iowa, Mr.. Barney said,
and they will do most Of their work In
addresses at dairymen's picnics and
merchants meetings. County agents al

and egg state take an inventory Of its
resources In this respect, giving figures
for the quantity Of butter and eggs
produced during the first six months Of

and hens last fall do not think Iowa
has produced as much eggs and butter

130,657 dozens or 1,451. 1eS.34 eggs,
which yielded sso,5ss.7so to the origin
al owners.
We are going to try to persuade pro-
ducers 20 soil only the 'boarders'-the
non producing cows" Mr.. Barney add
ed, "and shall continue out swat the
rooster campaign IN the interests Of
fewer fertile eggs, which will prevent
them from spelling In SHIRT time in
