Linn Cow Test Association No. 2, Ernie Nation of M'ount Vernon tester, won the award for the best group of Guernsey sires among 34 qualifying associations with a score of 46gS.4. The award was made at the annual cow testing associa- tion banquet held on Friday eve- ~ing during the l)airy Cattle Con- ~'ress at ~,Vatcrloo which was at- tended by Mr. Nation. Members of the local association who have one Guernsey sire each are: J. F. Bowers and Son, and George Graver, Lisbon; EdGewood Dairy, Cedar Rapids. Three mem- bers have two sires each, E. C. Clark, Marion; A. "~hr. H. Lenders and R. E. Choate, Cedar Rapids. The I,inn No. 2 association rank- ed tenth in the best group of sires, all breeds considered with a score of 4088. The association was fifth in the group of best Jersey sires. Seventeen associations qualified in that group. "],here are three herds with Jersey sires, bows Maniti Dah'y, Fry's Dairy and Ralph Smith and Son of Ely. The results of the Better Sire Contest were decided on the basis of information entered in the bull record book which is prepared by the tester and contains a photo. pedigree, and performance records of every sire in thc association. In- formation concerning the produc- tion and breeding of each herd was also included. At the close of the contest year the books were sent to the Dairy Husbandry Extension office where a committee of judges rated each sire on type as indicated by the photo, pedigree, suitability for the herd in which each was being used The judges were: J. C. Nisbet. Hoard's Dairyman: Prof. J. C Berry, University British Columbia Canada; Professors I). L. Espe, and 1,2. N. Hanson, Iowa State college and E. M. Wright, secretary Iowa State Dairy association, Waterloo. Thus the carefulness with whic!~ the tester's record book is prepar- ed as well as the quality of the sire are taken into consideration in the rating of the sires.
