Dairy Record Plan
Is On The Increase

The Eastern Minnesota Dairy Rec
ord Plan has completed its second
month of existence under the opera
ton of Arnold Kern of Hinckley, and
it tested 845 cows in May as COM
pared to 615 in April. Perhaps the
most important result up to this time,
says Mr. Kern, is the fact that the
Plan, which was new experiment
in cow testing, has proved itself a
complete success and is functioning
smoothly at minimum of expense
to its members.
MIR. Kern announces that eight de-
fective cream separators have been
detected during the past month and
many cows which have so far proved
improbable are being watched by
dairymen since the plan has not been
in operation long enough to decide
whether they should be disposed Of
The tests during the month of May
varied greatly from those of the pre-
viouS month and some of the cows
have switched from the apparent
improbable class to the profitable
one.
No improbable cow can be accur-
ately detected unless she is tested
over a period sufficient in length to
give her fair average. The aver
age production of the cows tested
during May was 27.1 pounds of but
terfat with an average test of 331.
For information in regards to the
Dairy Plan requests should be di-
rected either to Alfred L. Nielsen al
the Askov Creamery or to Arnold
Kern at Hinckley.
