Raleigh, April 14—Princess Elise of Charlotte, not only “some cow” but also is New Jersey State Champion four years old, according to J.A. Arey of the Agricultural Extension Service.
And her honors do not stop there. She has qualified as a gold and silver medal cow under the regulations of the American Jersey Cattle Club.
She produced 12,451 pounds of milk and 730 pounds of butter fat in one year, according to statistics of the service.
“Princess Elise”, said Mr. Arey, “takes away the state championship from Pender Eminent Lass E. 269040, who held this honor previously with a record of 563.09 of butter fat. The new champion, property of R.E. McDowell, Charlotte, complies with the requirements demanded. She calved within 16 months of her last freshening prior to the test and carried calf 239 days during her lactation period. Elise’s average test for 13 inspections was 5.94 percent of butter fat.
“Princess Elise comes from noble blood. Her sire is Jap’s Interested Owl 184149, a son of Karnack’s Jap 84363, and her dam is Noble Princess K. 284864. These names are familiar to the breeders of blooded Jersey cattle.”
Since ?? there have been nine Jersey cows with average official records of 12,988 pounds of milk and 747.31 pounds of butter fat each in North Carolina,” he said.
“The official testing work fostered by the State College and Department of Agriculture is proving that there are cows in North Carolina which are equal in production to those of most any well developed dairy section,” he continued. “For this reason, I can see no necessity for dairymen to gout of state in order to secure a good bull of register of merit backing.”
