les. The pontoon was identified as

The Imperial County Farm Bu-
reau Cow Testing Association COM
pleted its eighth consecutive year
Of testing work on November 80,
1880. This association is operated
by the dairy department OF the I'm
perial County Farm Bureau COOP
Grating with the Agricultural EX-
tension Service.
The need for such information
as the dairyman is able to get
through the COW testing association
becomes increasingly valuable as the
investment in the business and cost
of operation increases. Production
which would have made money for
an operator 10 years ago would
force him out of business under
present costs. 1t would be inpos-
sible to list a way in which the
dairyman can make use of the
facts brought out by the testing as
sociation records or even to list
them in order of their Importance
but some of the ways in which
such records may be used are as
follows:
!. To find and Gull out the un-
profitable COW.
2. To determine whether or not
his herd bull is producing daugh-
ters which make higher production
than their dams
8. To avoid selling COWS out OF
the herd without exact knowledge
of the producing ability which viii
prevent sending good COWS to the
butcher and at the same time as.
sure that poor cows will be slaugh-
tered.
