Dairymen To Meet
At Marion, Feb. 20
Out-crossing, line breeding and

dairy cow production will :be among
the topics disa~ussed at the third
sesssion of the dairy short course
to be held at Memorial Hall, Marion
on next Thursday, Feb. 20, County
Agent Rex Conn has announced.
All dairymen in Linn County are
invited to attend the meeting which
starts at 10:30 a.m. and will close
about 3:00 p.m. Principal speak-
er will be Floyd Arnold, Extension
Dairy Husbandrymen from Iowa
State College, who will discuss the
points to consider in selecting a
sire, principles of heredity and dif-
ferent practical breeding plans.
Accot,ding to Mr. Arnold only
one-third of the sires in service can
be considered herd improvers. This
appraisal is based on production
of offspring-. Another one-third of
the bulls definitely lower the pro-
duction of their offspring and the
remaining one-third neither in-
crease nor decrease it.
