COOPERATE IN BUILDING
UP THE DAIRY HERD
Bull Associations Are Means Of Pro.
vlding Purebred sires at
Small Expense.

A farmer who owns only few
COWS may not find 1t e1pedient to pur-
chase a high.priced pure.bred bull;
but where there are a number Of
such farmers in community, owning
cows of the same breed, often they
will find it profitable to organize
cooperative bull association and pur-
chase one or more pure bred sides,
say the dairy specialists Of the Eek
tension Division, Louisiana state
University.
Cooperative bull associations are
formed by the farmers for the joint
ownership, use, and exchange OF pure
bred bulls. The purchase price and
cost of maintenance are distributed
according to the number OF cows
owned by each, thereby giving the
farmer an opportunity to build up
his herd without great expense. The
organization also helps its members
to market dairy stock and dairy
products, to fight contagious dts.
eases of cattle intelligent>y, and in
other ways to assist in improving the
dairy industry.
The bull association does not give
something for nothing, but with al
outlay Of $50 or less can furnish ;
share in five pure bred bulls. The
bulls cannot increase the production
Of the cows in herd, but they ma!

Police Jury Abolish Dipping

All complications and disagree.
ments arising out of the dipping
proposition were brought to an
abrupt ending Monday when the
Police Jury, due to lack of funds,
abolished dipping entirely and
allowed the parish to fall back
under federal quarantine, This
of course will be a blow to the
cattle industry and proves a
rather expensive experiment,
it's having cost the parish in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to date
to carry out the dipping accord
ing to the requirements of the
law, but the system has me,
