brought into the different counties.
Another encouraging feature is that
Alabama dairymen were in position
to sell breeding cows to dairymen in
other counties. This was particularly
true of the Selma territory, which is
the oldest dairy section in Alabama,
and where new dairymen of Baldwin
county bought several cars of high
grade or registered dairy cattle dur
ing 1922.
In reviewing the progress in terms
of actual production Mr.. Hardie adds
Every Alabama creamery reports a
record amount of business during
1922, and these reports, plus the
opening of new creameries and the
importation of better cows, mean
that dairying has long since passed
the uncertain or experimental stage
in Alabama and that it is perma-
nent important part of the agricul-
ture of the state"
