the dairy Industry to bo tho far
most Important unit. Compiled
figures from most reliable sources
provo this contention absolutely
true. Now, If we are engaged In
an Industry of greatest liunortnnca
to our . national economy and
health, Is not that a just causa for
each Individual to brace up and be
proud of his or her calling to this
exceedingly Important livelihood?
Perfect Joy ' is a realisation of a
worthy task ' successfully accom
plished. It la hero that your cow
testing association plays Its part,
j Tho first cow testing association
on record was organised in Hon
nark In 1895. At that time, tho
Danish dairy industry was In tho
most deplorablo condition. Pro
duction was low duo to lll.bred,
badly managed and abortion In
fected herds. Organised efforts and
cooperation with their oow testing
association brought about the most
rapid chango In a nutton'a history.
Tho results were the elimination
of, non-paying cows, purchase of
better herd sires, banishing of in
fectious diseases and tho discovery
of tho abortion bacillus by Bern
ard Hang In 1897. Today Denmark
stands third in national average
production, Holland first. Hnilser
land, third and United States
seventh.
Tho first vow-testing association
In the United Htates was organised
In Michigan In 11106. Today, we
hnvo about 976 associations, Of
these, Wisconsin has 16U, Michi
gan, 10 H, Minnesota, 86, Iowa, 77,
Pennsylvania 40 and Oregon, 14.
Tho average number of members
in each la about 26 or approxim
ately 26,000 herds enrolled. The
accomplishment of thoso organisa
tions la wonderful. It has brought
wealth, as well as an abundance
of knowledgo und high estoom for
those cltlsens operating undor
them.
, . Tho Bureau of Dairy Industry
has thoroughly . summarised ' tho
records and found them to bo sur
prisingly correct. Therefor, wo
havs their hearty endorsement und
cooperation, and togethor with our
stuto college, we surelv aro worthy
the noma "Dairy Herd Improve
ment association."
Oregon does not havo so large a
number of associations, but 1 do
i helievo Oregon has done somo re;.
nmrknbly good work, due to a
very able, and well arranged sys
tem eneouruged by our state dairy
specialist. -
Homo of our dairy herd Improve
ment associations have been In ac
tivity for more than a dosen years.
The testimony and records form
those members who stayed by tho
wheel throughout those years, give
iw examples of real persistency.
Friends, let mo give you the -fact
that Oregon produces butterfat
more cheaply than any of our rl
val: eastern states, or at ,27 cents
per pound. Tho Coos oounty, Tilla
mook county and lower Columbia
associations, havo . Wally accom
plished deeds of national Import
ance through their production and
marketing facilities. -
I How are wo coming ulong with
j our local affairs? Pretty well, us

baby1 must have a lot of attention
to bucomu a man.
