Sixty-four of the one-hundred and forty-six cows produced over thirty pounds of fat in thirty one days. Putnam County Dairymen are certainly doing a good job of producing all the food possible under very trying conditions. Labor aand equipment as well ae fed have been very scarce and hard to obtain, but in spite ot all this, they can produce seme mighty good records.
