represented 87 3 per cent of the 23830 cows enrolled in d h i a work arc holsteins an analysis of this large group reveals that the cows from artificial service in the average have higher production

fat against an average of 8890 lbs of milk and 302 lbs fat in the case of the three- yearolds from natural service an analyses of the touryearolds and mature cows tells a similar story the production of the artif icially bred fouryearolds have an average production 880 lbs higher than those from natural service the margin in the case of the mature cows is 398 lbs of milk and 27 lbs of fat in favor of the artif icially bred group hay ihg progress slow cropgood 1956 is a year of surprises in early june we had prospects for a 60 or 70 per cent hay crop at best today july 13 we have pretty close to a normal crop of hay true the bulk of it while cut is still in the fields catchy weather coupled with little or no farm labor has made progress slow on may 24 halton mows were emptier than they had been in years there had been little growth of grass and prospects pointed to short pastures throughout 1956 to day the pastures are excellent on may 24 little of the spring grain crop had been seeded many of us thought it was too late for spring grain toda spring giuins in general are n good color and look promis ing t in lute pril and earl may mun fields of fall wheat looked spott todav the w heat is turning and while some fields are lodged pi aspects are for close to a normal crop in halton yes the corn crop is backward but if these sin prises continue the corn crop ma look quite different bv midseptember at the moment inunv are wondering and worry ing as to whether or not thov will ever get the crop off however perhaps w e v ill get some more sur prises and b the end of
