The first meeting for the organiza-
ton of the Purebred Breeders Associa-
ton was held this week.
The Lions Club and the Rotarians
have voted to send dairyman to Sc
dalia to study the results of Purebred
Breeders financing plan there.
-Four cows were placed on official
test by the Model Dairy and made
very good records.
The purebred heifers purchased by
number of the dairymen of the COM
munity are all looking very good. Sew
eral of these heifers are to freshen
soon and their owners are contemplate
ing putting them on official test.
Sheep feeding operations in the val
ley have greatly increased the price of
hay.
The price of milk has taken quite a
raise, from sl.75 to $2.25 within the
last two months. Indications are good
for further raise in price. Milk re-
/ ceipts are holding about steady.
Preliminary steps toward reorganiza-
ton of the Association for next years
work will be taken soon.
The average monthly milk produc-
ton this month shows an increase of
147 pounds over last months average.
The fat production has also increased
as pounds. These increases are due
to the fact that a large number of the
association cows freshened during the
month. The average cost of roughage
per COW for the month shows an in
crease of 80 cents due to the increased
price of alfalfa hay.
