European mission, DR.. Love made the
following statement outlining the pur'
pose of the commission:
when the call came to help saVe'
promote and secure democracy in Eu'
rome there came louder call to help
save, promote and secure evangellcal
Christianity in Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which brave men
have died on the battlefield OF Europe
is the Christianity of the New Testa'
ment. Southern Baptists can not long
er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Oar people never
before faced such a challenge and sucn
responsibility.
"Of course we can not 60 to the men
and women Of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message or

decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers Will not be
able to stay the crying of their little
ones to hear us preach if we decline
tc practice the gospel of compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the COM
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering Of Europe. But u

time, and the supervisor must In
every case be in a position to observe
the mixer during the whole milking.
4. Immediately after the milk is
drawn at each milking he shall take
charge of the pail and contents,
weigh the same on scales provided by
the station and enter the exact weight
of the milk at once on his record.
5. An extra pail shall be provided
by the owner and the milk shall be
poured from one pail to the other until
thoroughly mixed. The supervisor
shall then take correct samples of the
milk sufficient for his test and for
the composite sample.
6. The sample shall be kept under
lock and key or under the supervisors
sight, until tested.
7. The fat determination shall
always be made in duplicate, using
properly calibrated glassware, and
both determinations recorded. The
average must be used in computing
the amount of fat. The samples taken
at any one milking shall not be
thrown away until satisfactory dupli-
cate tests of the milking are obtained.
8. Readings of the tests shall be
made at a temperature of 13O to 14O
degrees F. If the duplicate deter
limitations vary more than 2 per cent
the test must be repeated.
9. A composite sample for each
cow correctly made and preserved
shall be forwarded to the station i'm
mediately upon completion of two
day or seven-day test; and in the case
of tests for longer periods at inter-
walls not to exceed ten days. In case
of two-day tests this composite shall
contain c. c. of milk for each pound

1 c. c. for each pound of milk produced
during the test. Suitable containers
for such composite samples shall be
furnished by the owner of the COW on
test.
10. In case all or part of the milk
of any milking be accidentally lost,
the average of the six nearest milk
ings at the same hour shall be inter-
polated. 1t must be stated that such
data is estimated. This rule shall
apply only in the case Of tests seven

II. The supervisor shall report to
the person in charge of testing in the
state any obvious violations OF the
rules of the breed associations on the
part of owner or attendants.
It is very evident that when cows
establish desirable seven-day or long
time records made under the careful
supervision as outlined in the above
eleven requirements that the buyer
of an A. R. o. cow can feel certain
that he is buying an animal which has
gained entry to the advanced register
on her merit of performance during
an official test which was very care
fully supervised. Some of the cows in
this county recently placed on officia'
test have estab lished very creditable
records and due to the records which
they have established are now COM
manding prices almost double the
prices asked by their owners before
they were placed on test.

Articles of Interest to the Farmers
Edited by W. Huntmer County Agent Melrose Minnesota
Through the efforts of E. B. Heller,

Through the efforts of E. B. Heller,
secretary of the Stearns County Hol-
stein Association, number of the
Holstein breeders of the county have
been interested in official testing of
some of the cows in their herds.
During the past month a number on
official seven day tests have been con-
Quoted in the Heller, ZacskowsH and
MANI herds in the neghborhood Of
Paynesville. Several other Holstein
breeders have signifed their intention
in planning to place on official test
in the near future some of the high
producers in their herds. The Farm
Bureau office hopes to have within a
few days the records of all official
testing carried on in the Paynesville
herds recently and will furnish these
records to the breeders of the county.
When a cow is put on official seven
day test the object in view is to secure
for this animal entry in the advanced
register. The advanced register is a
herd book based upon individual merit
and designed as an aid to improve
ment within the breed. All breeds OF
registered stock have their herd
books which are kept up by the
breeders associations. These herd
books are based upon purity of blood
and any animal is eligible to entry
in herd book of it's respective breed
whose sire and dam have been record
ed. Any animal that has been re-
corded in the herd book of the Hol-
stein riesian Association on showing
the required degree of merit may be
advanced and entered into the
advanced register and after entry into
this register is referred to as an
A. R. C. COW. Advanced registration
is especially adapted to the improve
ment of dairy breeds of cattle. Since
the establishment of this system by
the Holstein Association over 58,232
cows and nearly APO bulls have been
admitted to advanced registration;
many of the cows making very notable
records.
No breeder should hesitate in be-
ginning official testing when he is
convinced that some of the pure breds
in his herd are able to meet the re-
4quirements for entering the advanced
register. The increased selling values
which are bound to follow official
testing where cow proves her worth
far more than offset the expense in
o,rrad in HAVING the test conducted.
The Minnesota Agriculture College
furnishes supervisors for all official
testing in this state. These super
visors are paid $3.50 a day and ex-
penses while conducting either seven
day or long time official tests. The
owner of the COWS upon which the
tests are conducted must pay all
charges occurred in connection with
the testing.
The following rules govern official
testing of Holstein cattle for seven
day or long time tests:
1. The supervisor shall be present
at the last regular milking preceding
the beginning of test and shall see
that the COW is MIXED dry. He shall
note the hour that this milking is
made and the last milking OF the test
shall be made at the same hour.
2. He must be present at every
milking during the test and shall see
that the pail contains nothing but the
milk drawn from the cow under test.
