Pure-Breed Cattle
Assns Improving
Milk Output

Washington, oct. 3-SpeakinC in his
capacity as president of the HOlStcln
FrieSian Association of America, for
mer Governor Frank o. Lowden. of
Illinois told the Worlds Dairy Con-
ference tonight that pure breed cattle
associations were doing a Valua Bile
work by improving the County'S
milk output.
The average milk production for
the entire United States" said Mr..
Lowden, lis something like half the
average production of the cows of the
most advanced dairy countries in
Europe This would be ncXplicable
were it not for the fact that less than
there percent of the dairy cows of
America are pure bred. The field
for Improvement. therefore. is vast;
and the opportunity for useful SER
vice is stimulating in the extreme.
'The various breeds Of dairy cattle
like other farm animals. are the re-
suit of centuries of selection. In the
course of time the natural result was
specialized animal, which was a
vast Improvement upon the earlier
stock. During the early history of
America whatever COWS happened to
be at hand We're brought over by the
ColOniStS. We woe we'll along in the
last century before we had anything
upon our farms but the nondesCript
COW which was a produce of the var
ious early and careless importations.
when importation of pure bred
cattle once began. it became neces-
sary to form associations for pre-
serving records of the cattle thus i'm
ported and their descendants. For
this purpose herd books We're estab-
ltshed. Later, all of the dairy pure
bred associations established advanc-
ed registry for recording production.
This has come to be one of the most
important of the activities of the
pure breed associations.
THE most valuable work of the
pure breed associations, from the
standpoint of the public, is the vast
Improvement they are bringing about
for better and more efficient cows
The improved COW means decreased
cost of milk. an indispensable food.
All our people profit by this.

the house of a leading Holstein
