Gastonia, N.C., April 25—The annual meeting of the Mecklenburg-Gaston Cow Testing Association was held in the office of County Agent L.B. Altman. The members were addressed by John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist of the North Carolina State College, who pointed out the advantages of doing such official work as is done by the organization. Mr. Altman said that the work was done by members during the past year had afforded considerable information about how the cows were producing. One man sold 30 cows for beef when he learned how little milk and cream they were actually returning him. Practically every dairyman reported from 3 to 4 animals sold to the butcher as a result of the testing work.
A report also was made showing that over 100 tons of feed were ought co-operatively, saving more than $1,000 to the members sharing in this pool.
