I decided to keep the calves, and further took Interest enough to weigh the milk from each cow In my herd; and now those two cows are at the top of the list for the whole association. “You may ask, what about those two calves? Well, If you have J.'iOO you might get them; but not for less than that, even if they are grades. Does testing pay? Well, I will say yea; and i f I can keep the association going next year, you bet I will.” VALUE OF TEST ASSOCIATIONS Information Obtained by Members Enables Them to Weed Out Unprofitable Animals There is plenty of evidence on file In the United States Department of Agriculture to convince anyone of the value of cow-testing associations as a means of developing profitable dairy herds. In all these associations rec ords are kept of the amount of milk produced and feed consumed by each cow, and with this information the members of the association are able to weed out the poor producers of the herd to make room for the heifer calves of the cows that give the larg est produeilon of milk and butterfat. This practice, together with the use of purebred balls, is the best and sur est way of building up the dairy herd, say dairy specialists of the depart ment.

So in April, 1920, we organ Ized ; and to top it they elected me secretary of the association.
