NEWARK, Oct. t3.--In the Diamond
State Cow Testing Association there
has been little change In either the
price Of milk or feed during the past
MONTH Mixed feeds OF certain brands
have advanced, but other feeds such as
bran have dropped due 20 temporary
surplus. Cotton seed meal OF high
analysis can be purchased in car load
lots OF twenty tons or more for around
sSi per ton, delivered. lower grades
are available at oOrrespondingly lower
prices. Good grades Of alfalfa hay can
be bought for approximately sac ton.
70 was thought policy 10 compute
The honor list for September on the
builerfat basis. J. /. Dayett, Of Cooch,
is The owner OF the record cow for the
past month She is the first cow 10
make go pounds Of butterfat in the as
socialion, and with test Of IA per
cent she gives evidence Of producing a
splendid yearly record. JT Edmund
sons cow holds the record for milk
production, but because OF her lower
bulterfat test she was unable 10 head
the list. She is, however the only COW
which made over 30 pounds OF butter
Fat for two consecutive months.
When these records are considered
from every angle IL is evident that Tue
herd which contains the highest pro-
ducer is not necessarily the one which
returns the greatest profit for the
owner It takes several good cows TO
make up for a few poor ones. This
month George B. pierson, OF H0ckes-
sing has the honors for the highest
herd average of the association. Dur
ing the month Mr.. Persons herd aver
aged ops pounds OF milk and PAP pounds
Of butiorfat per cow. EnOs Slack. OF
Newark. takes second honOrs with an
average herd record OF ASP pounds OF
milk and 2i3 pounds of butterfat per
cow.
In the Middletown Association the
herds were probably at their lowest
production Of any month OF the year.
Due TO the shortage OF pasture and the
fact that the supply OF silage Is prac-
tically exhausted. The herds Of the as
sOciation probably suffer more during
the month Of Augnust and September
than at any other period OF the year.
As commercial feeds are constantly ris-
ing in price many farmers are making
plans 10 feed fations this winter, the
major part Of which has been grown
on the farm.
Janyier and Schrader Of MiddletoWn
own the cow producing the highest
profit for the six months, that the asso-
citation has been operating This cow
is pure bred Holstein and made a
profit Of Sl926i Second honor in this
class goes TO the pure bred Holsteln COW
owned by 0ln Davis, which returned a
profit OF si6626 in the Ave months that
she has been on test.

tions for September follow:
