OF DAIRY INDUSTRY
AIMED AT BY RECENT CONFERENCE
prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture)

(Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
AS result of the conference of
representatives Of the purebred dairy
cattle associations neld in Washing
ton. May 5, at the call Of DR.. c. w.
Larson, chief of the dairy division
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture, number of important
recommendations were made for the
improvement Of the dairy industry,
especially the purebred dairy cattle
business. Each of the breed associn-
tons. including the Ayrshire, Brown
Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein- Friesian, and
Jersey, was represented by two or
more delegates. The subjects Of dis
cussiOn had to do with the improve
ment Of dairy cattle, advanced regis
try, fairs, and sales.
No conferences Of this kind had
been held for several years, and the
representatives expressed the desire
that this one might result in the for
nation of permanent organization to
thresh out problems Of mutual interest
and to work for the general better
ment Of the industry. Figures pre-
pared by the department showed q de-
cided need for improvement in dairy
animals and in making the best use
of the improved animals that are now
available. The average production Of

suggested that the various representa-,

tees to meet with the Dairy Science
association to see If an improved plan
for making official tests of cows can be
worked out, which will be agreeable
to the breeders, the associations, and
the colleges that send out the official
testers.
The showing of dairy animals at
fairs and eXpositions received a good
deal of attention from several angles.
1t was decided to recommend to the
associations that they cease giving
money prizes at these shows, but
spend the funds in putting on educa-
tional exhibits; that more attention
should be given to production records
in awarding prizes at fairs and
shows; that the associations repre-
sented should give more attention to
educational exhibits showing the eco
nomic advantage Of purebreds in dairy
practice; that each association has a
distinct duty in connection with the
selection of suitable persons to act as
judges of the various breeds of dairy
cattle at fairs and shows; that no ami
mails should be admitted to fairs and
expOsitions unless they are from herds

Princeton, N. 1.-THE brilliancy Of
General Washington's genius in action
and the devotion of his followers Of

the cows OF the United States is about
1000 pounds of milk and 100 pounds
Of butterfat year, while the average
COW in some other countries produces
almost twice as much. There are 80
million grade and scrub dairy animals
In the country and less than million
purebreds. There are 1866, 1884 Amer
ican farms having dairy cattle, and
only 2OS, PSI Of these farms have pure
bred dairy cattle. 1t is estimated that
approximately 250,OOO purebred dairy
bull calves born each year are not
needed on the farms where purebreds
are kept. OF the purebred animals
that were registered last year, about
10000 were females and less than
$4,000 males, which indicates that not
half Of the purebred dairy bulls are
registered.
Recommend Better Slres.
Among the recommendations made
by the conference were those express
ing approval Of, plans for increasing
the use of purebred bulls in scrub and
grade herds, and Of the plans for CO.
operative bull associations as being
the best known means for distributing
surplus bulls and introducing them
into new territory. Although there is
place in this country for all the
purebred dairy cattle that may be pro-
duced. for some time, it was the con-
sensus Of opinion that an expert busi-
ness in purebreds would help to stimu-
late interest among farmers at home.
A number Of questions related to
advanced registry were brought up.
Coordination Of effort by and between
the agricultural colleges and the breed
associations was suggested. and it was
