DECLARES STATE
SHOULD PRODUCE
ITS DAIRY HERDS
BY J. P. IVERSON
(Chief, Division of Animal Indus
try, California Department
of Agriculeure)

SACRAMENTO, Calf, July 2l.-
Should California export or import
dairy cattle! Why should our
dairymen have to bring COWS from
Wisconsin, Washington, Idaho and
other distant states! With our fay
orahlc climatic aud feed conditions
it would appear profitable to pro
~Iucc these COWS at home.
The records of the division of ami
NAL industry, California department
Of agriculture, Sacramento, show
l0,446 dairy cows were shipped t"
California from other states during
the wear 1928. The greater number
Of these animals were shipped from
Arizona, Idaho and Utah, with few
cr from Washington, Oregon, WIS
conSin, Colorado, and scattered ship
mentS from states as far east as
PENNSYLVANIA and New England.
For the present year, II appears
probable these shipments will in
crease, since 72s0 dairy COWS have
been received here during the first
six months of 1926.
While this state is the home of
many notable dairy cattle, never
theless, it will be necessary from
time to time to import high class
individuals from other states for
maintenance and Improvement of
blood lines. However, this should
hardly be true concerning the ordl-
nary grade dairy animal, which, con
sidering the attendant expense,
should be produced economically at
home. The need for healthy cows,
no doubt, accounts for some of the
demand. However, III many parts
of California, disease free cattle are
available to supply the ordinary
needs of dairymen. Modoc and
I.asScn counties are known to have
less than onc-half of | per cent of
tuberculosis in cattle, and have been
declared modified accredited areas
by the government and state. Tcha-
ma county likewise is making good
progress in this direction, and with
increased tuberculosis control
healthy COWS should be available IN
other districts. 1t appears that Call
fornia breeders may profitably sup
plv the need for increased numbers
Of dairy cows existing in various
parts of the state.
