Weed, Feed and
Breed for Best
Producing Cows

The Farm Advisor S office has
Just received from Noel Negley,
state dairy extension specialist, the
monthly report covering the work
of all the COW testing associations
in the state. In some respects this
shows that the Imperial County As
sociation stands well, while in other
respects it is well down towards the
bottom of the list.
Los Angeles County and Stanis-
laus County failed to get their re-
ports into this summary so the Ia-
port shows that Imperial County
stands first in number of cows
tested. This is something to be
proud of since testing began in this
county in December 1922, while
most of the other counties have
been testing for years.
The highest herd average in I'M
perial County during March was
41.3 pounds butter fat per COW. A.
II. Smithson of Alamo MIXED seven
COWS, making this average. Only
13 of the associations represented
in this report had herd which did
better than this and 10 of them
failed to do as well.
The highest producing COW in
Imperial County during March
made 82.4 pounds butter fat. Only
- associations had cow which
produced more butter fat than this
while II associations failed to have
cow which produced the amount
of butter fat.
The place where the Imperial
County Association failed to make
Il showing was in the average
amount of butter fat produced per
COW. The 2Sl4 cows tested during
March in this county averaged
28.2 pounds butter fat per cow.
Only two of the associations in
Guided in this report had an aver
age production lower than this
while while 10 averaged higher. In
this report Imperial County is
therefore very near the bottom of
the list.
Can Be Increased
Fortunately this same report
points out the way in which the
average production of Imperial
County cows can be increased. In
Ferndale Association 2,734 cows
were tested in March and the ave
rage production was 40 pounds per
cow. This is the oldest association
in California. 1t has been in con
tinuous operation for 10 years, and
during that time its members have
been using the information, fur
nished by the COW testing associa-
tion records, to improve their pro
duction. AS result their average
production per cow is higher than
that of every other association IN
the state.
Therefore, if Imperial Valley
dairymen wish TO increase their
average production, they arc urged
| TO test their cows in the Imperial
County Farm Bureau Cow Testing
Association not just one year, but
each year as long as they are. in
| the dairy business, aud use the in
| formation so obtained to weed,
| feed and breed. After Il few
wears of this work, the average
production Of cows in this valley
should compare favorably with
| that of other counties in the state

Plant lice arc all very small and
feeble insects individually. Their
strength lies in the rapidity with
which they increase in number. Each
female produces hundreds OF young.
They DO not travel far from where
they arc born and the leaves Of a
plant become densely crowded with
them. They are equipped with sharp
beaks which they insert in the fol

and exhaust the plant until the roots
and leaves cease to function and Il
