DHIA*Making News
The fleet monthly of the Fayette
County DHIA (Dairy Herd Improve-
ment Association) News went out
recently, and the mimeographed news
letter contains a world of informa-
tion.
The report states that 19 herds
were tested in May, total of cow*
464, number of cows dry 96, total
camf in association M, emmber of
cows producing 40 pounds'tertterfot
' 3, average pounds milk per eow
£46, average pounds botterfat per
cow 24-6.
Herbert Janssen had the high herd
for May. He had 19 cows, two dry,
average pounds milk 766, average
test 4J, average pounds butterfat
36.9. Next in order in high herds were
Lloid Henderson, Werner Lamps and
Rosenberg Farms.
The newsletter, in addition to the
complete DHIA uniform testing rules,
also contained a letter to members,
stating in part:
“It is our desire to make our As-
sociation worth as much as possible
to each member. The primary pur-
pose of the Association is to provide
a way to measure accurately the pro-
duction of each of our cows and
thereby determine the efficiency of
our herd. No doubt each of us can
and will improve our herds by hav-
ing the help given by actual record of
what each cow is doing . .
Officers of the Association are
Sam E. von Rosenberg, president;
Frederic Stieber, vice president; Her-
bert Jansson, secretary and treasur-
er; Leo Tiemann and Lloid Hender-
son, directors; Bernard Kruppa, su-
pervisor and tester; and County
Agent J. C. Yeary as adviser.

At the July 4th celebration at
Round Top last Friday the Carmine

of 21 to 8. Burton used four pitchers
throughout the game, with Plueckhahn
of Carmine on the local's mound for
the fell nine rounds. Next Sunday the
locals' have an off Sunday since the
La Grange club has fallen out of the
league.
