The Washington County Jersey
Breeders' Association met here
Saturday and held an all-day
session at the courthouse, Presi

to succeed themselves, were:

merich, The Jersey Situation in
in General" Thos. Withycombe
and George Withycombe, general
remarks.
The speeches were replete
with information and judgment,
and the general cry was for a
higher co-operation among breed-
era of Jersey strains. The test
of stock was dwelt upon with
emphasis, and the value of a
test to show what a strain can
do was plainly put
The talks on testing as a value
to dairymen were replete with
wisdom. The thought expressed
was that testing waa of the
greatest possible value because
t helped the dairyman or breeder
to eliminate the poor cow, so
that her offspring , would not
perpetuate the poor milking
strain. Even overfeeding for
test had its virtues as an indica-
ion of what could be done in the
individual, although a conserva
tive ration and even feeding was
considered the best in the long
run, as this meant a long milking
period during producing life.
The association dined at the
Iotel Washington. Those at
