TEST ASSOCIA-
TIONS INCREASING
Farmers Are Finding Small
Cost Is More Than Repaid
When Selling Their
Cows

Cow testing associations in Wis
consin arc just as numerous as ever
in spite of the comparative low prices
that the dairy farmer is now receiving
for his dairy products says \. J.,
Cramer, Wisconsin College OF Agricul-
ture, and in charge of cow testing as
ISOLATION work in Wisconsin.
1T is Also just as easy to start new
associations if the farmer is shown the
numerous benefits derived from an at-
count kept of what the cows in his
herd are doing. Three new associations
were started in WalwOrth county the
first of this month. and several farm
ers were not able TO get in because the
quota of each association was filed
This makes seven active associations
at work in the county making it tlie
banner county III the United States.
III all cases where the officers and
testers of the associations have at
tended to their business there has been
little difficulty in reOrganiZing the as
ISOLATION and with the exception Of
up in their associations for next year.
Mr. Cramer also said that the asso-
Citations are continuing to get rid of
the scrub SireS. and that eight aSSO-
Citations in the past three months have
held funerals for their last scrub sire
and have been put on the pure-bred
sire list. This means that 90 per cent
of the associations have MOTT scrub
sire in them.
Many cattle are being sold on the
basis of association records and re-
Gently Mr. Cramer received a letter
from Milton Button, county agent of
Washington county, who says, *. w.

Although it sold to the farmers for
Sh cents a pound in carlotS, picric acid
cost the government 30 cents a pound
