cialist from the Extension Service,
gave very interesting talks on what
was going on in the dairy world and
the future of Dairy Herd Improve
ment work. AS gathered from those
men who are keeping close tab on
their cows: as to feeding, breeding,
and wedding. as well as production,

rest of the dairy world with breeding
stock; they are the ones who will
reap larger returns per 5 expended.
