DAIRY OWNERS
KEEPING BOOKS
ON THEIR HERDS

Dairy farmers in the United
States apparently are taking in
creasing interest in the bookkeep-
ing end of their business, if the
growth of the dairy herd improve
ment association movement is Il
fair Indication.
There are now 1000 such assccia-
tions in this country, according to
DIR. ] c. Mcdowell, of the Bureau
OF Dairy Industry, United States
department of Agriculture, an in
crease of nearly 50 per cent in the
last four years. He predicts a CON
-inued growth of the movement and
cites its past history to support his
: lew.
The idea of keeping production
and cost records on the dairy herd
started with one COW testing as
sociation in 1906, Doctor Me
nowcll recalls BY the end Of 1924
there were 732 dairy herd improve
lnent associations, as they are now
called. During the next four ears
the annual growth of the movement
was even greater. In 1925 there was
gain of 45 associations, or per
cent over the previous year; in
l9o6 there was gain of 90, or S
per cent; in 1927 a gain of 1l0, or
13 per cent; and in 1928 gain Of
I43 associations, or 10 per cent.
Thus there were l,090 associa-
rions on January l, 1929. in which
the members were keeping books
on 465,s04 cows. This represents a
remarkable growth in the use of

Piekford in her first 100 per cent
talking picture, which has drawn
large crowds to the Airdome the past
two nights
Great as an actress on the silent
screen, Miss Pickford is even great
er in the "talkies,' and her work
in "Coquette' is nothing short of
superb. From the lightest mood of
the modern flapper, to the primitive
grief and stark tragedy of woman
bereft of her lover, Miss Pickford,
in her present role, is called upon to
run the gamut of emotions.
The supporting east, notably John
Mack Brown, Matt Moore and John
Sainpolis, furnishes an effective
background for the petite star, each
being called upon to share honors
with her at various times.
Miss Pickford S speaking voice is
delightfully."- pleasant, and her south
ern accent, adopted for the present
picture, is perfect.
The settings in the old home of the
aristocratic south are perfect and
add much TO the interest in the pie
ture which no admirer of Miss Pick
ford will want to miss.
