REPORTS FOR FEBRUARY

In the Diamond State Cow Testing
Association the records of the 319 cows
under test were very gratifying during
the month of February. There were
twenty-six cows making records OF
above 40 lbs. of butterfat. the ten high |
est of which range in production from
Al to 81 pounds of butterfat. A COW
owned by Breidablik Farm again heads
the honor list, with a close second by
the pure bred Holstein COW owned by
]. l. Dayett. ]. T. Edmunson is back
again with the high ten. DR.. Taylor
Young, of Newark, breaks into the
honor list this time with two OF his
Holstein cows. DR.. Young's herd is
also one Of the five herds having the
highest average production. Consider
ing the number of cows in the herd this
is very creditable record. Mr.. w. G.
Matthews, with an accredited Jersey
herd, also receives honors this month in
the highest herd production class.
There has been considerable dis
cussion the last few weeks relative to
the new price fixing basis for milk
adopted by the Interstate Milk Pro-
ducers' Association. 1t is thought how
ever, that next spring when the usua!
surplus Of milk comes on that instead
of the farmers experiencing the usual
marked drop in price that the price will
continue fairly uniform through this
period. 1t will probably not be until
this period that the new price fixing
basis will have demonstrated its merits.
In the Middletown Association, Viii
liam Green carries off the honors with
Holstein COW producing 1908 pounds Of
milk and AZ pounds Of butterfat. Her
bert Insolo comes in close second with
COW producing 1895 pounds of milk
and 81 pounds of butterfat. Schrader
and Janvier deserve commendation, as
they enjoy the distinction of having
three cows in the honor list. Many of
the me mbers are taking advantage OF
the services of the government veteri-
marian and are having their herds test
ed fer tuberculosis on the accredited
herd plan.
