4 What can Virginia dairymcn dc
to solve the problem Of slowmllk-

william S. Griffith. assistant
dairy specialist at VPI says obsti.
nate bovines slow down the milking
process al many farms, and many
yi1nmlcks have been tried to see
they could be made to milk out
/ faster.
| Some dairy scientists have theo
rlzed that milking time might be

sity, ~ slow milking cows were

rotation. Use Of resistant varieties
IN tWo-year rotation may be con-

to prevent recontamlnation.
