1t is very interesting to see that
during the past three months the
averagt production of COWS being
tested in the Imperial County Cow
Testing Association A has been con
siderablv above that made during
the corresponding months in 1926.
In March the 1927 average was i
pound per COW higher than in 1926,
in April il was IL pounds higher,
and in MAY it was pound higher.
This condition indicates that mem
bers of the Cow Testing Association
are making use of their records to
improve the production of their
herds. and in this way are increas-
ing the income from these herds.
During May, ~ herds containing
1870 COWS were tested in the lmpe-
rial County Cow Testing Associa-
tion. Their average production for
the month was 149 pounds milk and
27.5 pounds of butterfat.
One hundred and eighty-one of
the 1870 COWS tested this month
made 40 pounds or more of butter
fat for the month. The largest
number of 30 pound COWS in one
herd was II. both the Dorman
ranch of Calexieo and II. G.. Farms

number.
During the month eight boarder
cows were culled out by members
