ed each month for full year per-
iod.
The 1914 report covering these
rs tested herds with a total of
2,697 COWS shows a decrease in the
average production of cows tested
due to a wartime shortage of feed
with high cost, inefficiency of
available labor, and to the fact
that the increase of herds brings
into the records larger number
of cows which have short lactation
records (less than 300 days).
The effect of the work of the
association is shown not only in
the increased number of herds and
dairy cows being tested regularly,
but in the fact that out of the
total of 2,697 dairy cows covered
by the report, 1876 or almost $50
produced 400 or more pounds of
butterfat. They had an average of
294 days in milk with an average
