I Dr. Preitlj Pleads For Better Cow* | In County?Jersey Auocia- [ tioni Have Been Formed |I [ May I be permitted to call at- 5 tantion to the notable progress that is being made in the improvement i of the dairy cow in our county. Few i of our own people are aware of j what has been accomplished, and!" fewer still can correctly estimate . I the far reaching consequence of thejl measures that have been adopted. J | I Under the efficient leadership of I W. A. Rowell, County Agent of the E Cooperation Extension Work, | Jersey Associations have been form- jj ed in different sections of the coun- J ty, each association embracing ff from four to six neighborhood clubs r with an aggregate membership of ? probably one hundred and fifty, p Each club has purchased a bill from the best strains of blood in the Jersey world. Four of them came from the famous herd of the Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass.; four from the I herd of J. A. Shanklin, Camden, S. J| C.; four from the Allendale herd of jj Kentucky. I Each of the bulls is from Register f 5 of Berit Cows; that is, from cows that averaged above five hundred pounds of butter a year. At the I end of a two year's 1 period three I bulls will be exchanged by the vari- 1 ous clubs constituting as Associa- | ions, in order to prevent in-breed- j in?. Z By a conservative estimate, J hese twelve high-bred sires will in- j crease the value of the dairy cows j f the county in very few years one g hundred per cent, anl at a cost to he individual members of the vari us clubs that is purely . nominal. J Well authenticated experiments in ther sections show that an increase 1 has been attained in a single gener- I ation. A moment's reflection will I onvince thoughtful people that I this movement is worthy of consid- 2 eration. [ The time has come when? we must { widen the sphere of our activity, I and include other Interests that'|j have been neglected to our interest. ? No array of facts is necessary to f prove that the common cow is a j ^ liability rather than an asset on ny farm. * ' 5* h Our further step in this scheme j 0 " f leart ^ C R# . a] p crmn s w V sir location in the heart of tfifl a i is the reason why they can build t] oof wagon.
