Importance of Industry
Here Greatly Misunder-

Standard Rules for Cow Testing
Associations was one of the main
issues discussed by the live stock
division of the recent farm adVis-

An attempt to develop standard rul-
es. for all cow testing associations is
being made. \ first draft of such
rules has been drawn up and is be
ing used in two or three counties
and is proving highly satisfactory.
AS soon as possible all of the coun-
ties of Southern California will use
them.
Nern DcTar, who was one of I'm
perial Valley 5 representatives at
the conference, says the Importance
of the dairyiug industry is being un-
derestimatcd as affects the valley.
He SAYS that more than one fourth,
OF S92 of the farmers in valley are
dairymen. Contrary to general opin
ion dajrying is increasing rather
than decreasing. The farm census
of 1925 shows 2S,244 milk COWS in
the county, as compared with 24,434
in 1920.
Demand Is Large
All of winch is not particularly
significant except as it affects the
future of the valley. Statistics
show that there is market for more
milk products in this state than are
produced here, as it at present pro
duces about II per cent Of the milk
