Cow-testing associations, as a result of work by the bureau of animal in dustry. United States department ci agriculture, have continued to in crease until now there are 472 active associations composed of 12,088 dairymen owning 216,831 cows. The past year showed a gain of 37 per cent in number of associations. The cows tested are approximately 1 per cent of all the dairy cows in the United States. The most noticeable developenient has been in the western states. Some very promising varieties of chestnuts have been developed by specialists of the United States department of agriculture, The new varieties are likely to be of considerable value as nut-producing trees because of their fruitfulness and precocity of bearing, as well as their evident measure of resistance to the chestnut-bark disease. In the collection of trees which have been under experimentation are about 1,500, representing both native and Asiatic varieties. Fifty per cent of these are hybrids. Observations on the hybrid chinquapins which were developed some years ago also are included in the nut investigations of the department, and the results are considered especially encouraging.
