Things to come.
The cooperative bull association
has been carefully planned to enable
q number Of small dairymen and far-
mers who individually could not ar
lord good bulls, 70 combine their re-
sources and buy few really good
dairy sires. For example, suppose
four farmers each have 500 to invest
IA q bull. They are 30 situated that
they can all use the same bull. Tne
association makes it possible for them
10 5oa their resources and buy ono
900 bull, presumably four times as
rood a. any ooe It the four 500 AMI
uas dat they could buy Individually.
