TEST RECORDS TO AID
IN BUILDING UP HERDS

A pound a day year for every cow
is the hope of the Wisconsin Dairymen's
association for the future of dairying in
Wisconsin.
AS part of their drive toward this
end the Register of Production has
been adopted by the association and the
College of Agriculture to determine
which COWS are worthy to remain in
the herds Of the state and to serve as
foundation stock for future herds. It's
practical value in interesting out Of
state buyers and in enabling local
farmers to buy from stock known to be
good producers instead of boarder cows.
is apparent to every dairyman in the
state. 1t is also intended to supple
ment the work of the cow testing asso-
citation in enabling the farmer to Gull
out the poor producers and breed up his
herd.
Any COW, grade or purebred, owned
by member of cow testing associa
ton in the state and properly certified
as to test, is eligible for entry at the
end of a years production of 365
pounds of butterfat.
For each cow that qualities in the
yearly test certificate of registry will
be issued, and the record of certificates
will be published in the yearbook. The
fee for entry of each cow is $1.00, and
if a cow betters her original record re-
entry may be made at the same price.
A purebred bull that has in the register
two daughters from different dams is
eligible for registry.
Very definite rules regarding the
testing of the animals in order to insure
the correctness of the register. have
been arranged by officials of the dairy
mems association. They may be OBJ

association, from the secretary of the

The Burke family, living at 1920 Flor
ida avenue northeast, is. made up OF
true patriots. according to the opinion
of D. j. Callahan. director of war saw
ings for the District of Columbia. Its
motto is buy war savings stamps"
This family" said Director Callahan
today has true appreciation of 10y
atty and patriotism and it knows how
to make sacrifices. There are nine per-
sons in it, including the mother and
father. the latter being a navy yard
worker. Six of the seven children are
minors. Since the first of the year this
family has bought nine war savings
certificates and is going to buy more,
although every cent spent in this man
ner has been saved at a sacrifice"
In answer to letter from Director
Callahan congratulating this family. he
received today the following 'realiza-
tions" from the Burke family why it is
making denials to buy stamps:
I'VE realize that we are helping to
protect our own homes.
1--WE realize that our money is safer
than if it were in our own pocket.
1--WE realize that cold, dry room is a
luxury compared to a cold, wet. muddy
trench or doing duty on a submarine
chaser.
I'VE realize that our country needs
our help to provide for our boys at the
front.
I'VE realize that our Army and Navy
will feel better when they know that
we are backing them up with our last
dollar and cent.
I'VE realize that our country needs
the necessary funds for war and that
we can do without the unnecessary
things of life.
I'VE realize that there is nothing but
honor inside the four corners of our
red. white and blue flag.
But the best and most glorious real
