John Yarbrough resulted in no i'm

settled the buying question.
As result of the tubercular test
and production test, as carried on
this past year by the testing associa-
ton, only tested cows are being
sought by those in the field for pur-
chase. Every dairyman who entered
the association has a complete rec
ord of the cows he is handling and
KNOWS what they will do.
Owing to this demand for tested
stock much of the scrub stock that
was formerly on the project has been
eliminated, and it is the general be-
lief that inside of three years that
only such stock will be found on the
project.
Home Product Best
The cows and range stock bred on
the project has proven of such high
quality and so free from disease that
several California dairy people have
endeaxored TO secure stock here.
Very little has been sold owing TO
the home market offering the best.

At the Longheath farm exporta-
tions of pure bred bulls from the
we'll established farm are constantly
being made. The purchase of 100
head of young stock, all purebreds.
this spring by Mr.. Long places this
dairy and breeding farm as among
the top notchers of the coast.
Some Excellent Records
Among the records established
through the testing association some
excellent cows have been shown. In
some cases the profits from individ-
ual cows showed as much as $3.50
for each dollar invested. In many
cases the tests showed that profits
ranged high and that the few dead
head cows are being weeded out
Many Inquiries
L. e. Cline of the federal agri-
cultural office, is constantly in re-
ceipt of letters from dairymen il
other localities who would move
here if conditions are found right.
Unfortunately in nearly every in
stance their herds have too many
reactors and cannot pass the state
quarantine. 1t is was not for the
quarantine Mr.. Cline believes that
double the number of cows now milk
ing would have been shown by a
census.
In a recent trip to the coast Mr..
Cline found that $4,000 cows were
in Marine county, Calf. In
this case most of the stock is not
housed. Little attention Is
paid to the hard and fast quarantine
rules, and they are fog and wind
swept. 1t is his opinion that this
county should and could support 25,
900 cows and that the day is not far
distant when such will be the fact
In the Churchill County Bank
more cream checks are cashed today
than in the history of the county. Il
is stated at that institution that
every month sees an additional num-
Der of such checks cashed, which of
itself shows the steady and healthy
growth of this sure thing crop.
Stores and all merchants state that
the cream check where II was a rare
ty few years ago is now one of the
common services of trade, and that
such checks are just as welcome as
coin. Those interested in tests and
results should call on Mr.. Cline, as
he has some very interesting results
to show from the past twelve months
of dairy herd testing on the project
