PURDUE NEEDS COW TESTERS New Cow Testinjr Association Needs Men To Work Throughout The State Six men lire needed ns cow fosters . throughout the state to satisfy the present demand which has been made by dairymen to the Purdue Dairy Department. Tile system of cow testing associations organized ami operated by dairymen has rapidly gained in popularity. Valuable experience and opiMirmnities for advancement are the chief inducements to enter this work. A cow testing association consists of 26 dairymen in a community who wish to secure individual records of feed and milk for their herd. It has 1 been found that a cow's production can be calculated very accurately by weighing th** milk und onw day per month. This allows the tester to take care of twenty-six herds in the 1 association. The production of the herds is weighed, recorded, and the amount of butterfat determined. The 1 feed is likewise weighed and recorded and the monthly record is calcu- j )atf<l. With these records, the difference between the value of the product and feed consumption represent ' the monthly profit per cow. Other duties of the tester are to advise members on the matters of 1 feeding, recommend the best grain , mixtures under existing prices, ami ' suggest the amount of grain to feed each cow. An association organizes for a period of one year, the tester being engaged for the same length of time. A wage of three dollars per month is given the tester for each member of, the association including board ( while at the farm and transportation to the next farm. The qualifications for testers re- ( quire a man with practical experience ( and training along the line of feedIng and dairy herd management. High j school graduates with such requirements are urged to take place in this field and help the present situation. Purdue University offers an eight weeks’ course each winter to train testers, thia course also qualifying a man for the position of herdsman.

April 16—An Indiana high school baseball tourney nt Purdue this spring is a probability, according Io Major N. A. Kellogg, director of athletics at Purdue. The meet would be held by the Lafayette and West Ijtfayette high schools, assisted by the Purtbte athletic department and would be an invitational affair. According tn the action of the I. H. S A. A. board of control no recognized state tournament with the winners declared the state champions might be held but the invitational affair was approved. Tentative dates suggested by the principals of the high schools and th<- Purdue officials are May 16 and 17 or May 23 and 24 More than forty schools in th<> state maintain baseball teams which would be eligible for entrance and it is likely that the tourney would indude the majority of these teams. Eight playing diamonds are available at Purdue for the tourney and any number of teams up to 48 may be taken care of without any trouble. This project is directly in line with the widening of the scope of state high school athletics. and it Is hoped that it will lead to a recognized state tourney, along the same lines as the basketball tourney in the next few years. Definite action on the Invitational tourney will be taken soon by the high school authorities of Jefferson and West lajfayette. who would he responsible for conducting it.
