ruined by mastitis. On account of
present shortages of milk, dairy
men have requested aid in prevent
ing these losses. Many cows show
no symptoms during early stages
and laboratory examination of milk
is necessary to detect subclinical
cases. But COWS can be cured by
proper treatment. and early dag
nOsis is an important factor. Early
detection and treatment will pre-
vent spread of mastitis and will
save udders of valuable cows.
Control work will be based on
mastitis research conducted by the
Haskell Foundation. A diagnostic
laboratory has been established for
the work at the University Dr.
Lancaster will devote part of his
time to work at the laboratory and
part to contracting dairymen and
their veterinarians to establish a
well-cOordinated program of con-
troll.
DR.. Lancaster. who was gradu

Better Dairy Cows
Produce More Milk
CONTINUED from first Page,


under supervision of a dairy herd
improvement association in which
the milk and butterfat production
records of each individual COW are
tabulated along wit hthe feed costs.
Membership in such an association
always has been profitable for dairy
farmers. but it is more important
now than ever before because of
the feed situations and the mad
visibility of keeping improbable
cows in the herd.
A dairy herd improvement assO-
citation was organized in Kent
county a few years ago, but il had
to be discontinued due to the diff
culties encountered in locating and
retaining competent herd testers
In the meantime, however. a few
dairymen are having this testing
work done by Franklin Voshell.
who is an agricultural student at
Caesar Rodney High School. but
due to his school activities it is
impossible for other dairy herds to
be added at the present time.
Ii there should be a number of
dairymen interested in forming an
other herd Improvement associa-
tion in Kent county. however. fur
ther efforts will be made by the ag-
ricultuPal extension service to solve
this problem. Interested dairy far
mers are requested to contact the
county agent who will he glad to
discuss this project with them and
assist in every way possible in
this herd improvement program.
