COW TESTING PLAN MEETS WITH FAVOR

Constructed to Meet Needs of the Average Indiana Farmer. ASSOCIATION TESTER 800 to 1,000 Cows Tested At Seventy-five Cents Per Year. In discussing the Indiana plan of Cow Testing association, J. It. Garver of Purdue University, dairy extension department, says: "This type of Cow Testing Association is constructed to meet the needs of the average farmer having from five to ten cows, and is Hot, as many people imagine, an organization that Is beneficial only to men making a business of dairing. That this plan of an association is considered practical and that it is beginning to show symptoms of becoming a powerful factor in revolutionizing the dairy industry throughout the state, is shown by the attitude a number of localities are taking toward this movement. Indiar.j Farmers' Needs. "The Indiana plan is different from the Danish plan of cow testing association. The Danish plan is practical only In highly developed dairy sections, where men are willing to pay $1.50 per cow per year for their testing, whereas the Indiana plan, as previously stated, is designed to meet the needs of the average Indiana farmer. The Indiana type of cow testing association provides for the testing of 800 to 1,000 cows at 75 cents per cow per year. There are eight units in one of these Associations, and each unit contains from 100 to 150 cows. These units may or may not be ad jacent owing to the density of the cow population. For instance, one community may contribute enough cows to form two or more units, whereas miles distant, may have but one unit. Each unit receives a week's time from the tester every two months. JL Tester is Trained Man. The tester who s teMV-Ioyed to do the testing for this imMWiuloi, Is a man who has been UiiwC n me practical as well as the theoretical side of the dairy industry, who can be an Invaluable help to the farmers in balancing rations, in figuring the relative value of different feeds, and in showing which combination of foods gives the best results at the least cost. Then too, the tester while spending several hours on each farm of the members of each unit once every eight weeks, not only tests the composite samples from each cow subscribed to the association, but also serves as a high type of dairy adviser. .From the tests, weight of feeds In different rations, and the weight of milk produced from each cow, he is enabled to give the farmer an actual statement as to the merits of the different individuals in his herd. "The mechanical operations connected with finding these facts and j the contact of the tester ana farmer while making these computations, is in itself a valuable stimulus. The fact was clearly demonstrated last winter when similar work was conducted in the Southern part of the state. It has been found that farmers are much freer in asking questions and in talking about their methods when approached individually than while attending a meeting. "The first Indiana plan of cow testing association has been started in the vicinity of CawnQblesville, Sheridan, Westfleld, Greenfield and Lebanon. Harvey Moredock who has been appointed by Purdue university to take charge of this association, started his work near Carmel, June 17. Several other localities in the state are planning similar associations in the near future. The country around Vincennes is the next territory to receive assistance in this movement."
