there is here in Maury county on the
farm of w. 2. Ridley one OF the finest

II was the general opinion among
the so or more dairymen attending
the convention of the Tennessee
Dairymen's association Wednesday
afternoon that the best dairymen OF
the state are not selling their cows
and quitting the business because Of
abnormal conditions, but are doing
the things advised by the division of
extension and with efficient MANAGE
ment and methods are finding the
dairy business even more profitable
now than before the war.
G. A. Hutton, expert of the division
of extension and secretary of the as
sociation, read figures from the re-
cords of the Jefferson County Cow
Testing association showing that 15
dairymen In the two years, 1916 and
l9l7 made an increased net profit Of
$4,000 over 1916 with only IL more
cows. This was done by wedding out
pasturing properly and selling their.
products comparatively. a
Consideration was given at the i
meeting to needed legislation for the
protection of the dairy business in
Tennessee including provisions for
standardization of products, such as
ice cream and butter, a uniform sys-
tenn of sanitary dairy inspection, pro-
visions for a system of sanitary re-.
quirements at milk and cream sta
tions, ice cream plants, etc, prohibit
ing discrimination in the prices OF
dairy products as protection to CO.
operative creameries.
+ A general discussion led by G. A.
Wilson of the University of Tennes,
see assisted by Prof Wiloughby az
Florida including such subjects as
selling poor cows and keeping only
the most profitable ones, using better
dairy bulls and saving surplus heifers
for market as COWS, home growing a
variety of feeds; allowing the COW 10
gather much of her own feed in the
field; advertising the dairy business
to show the high food value of milk.
Sufficient time for the meetings of
the dairymen had not been provided
on the institute program for this year,
but arrangements were made to have
sectional meetings for this purpose
in the future, when time will be given
for more general discussions.
