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.
