The 34 Holstein and Guernsey herds are on a voluntary (cost paid, by the dairyman) basis. The 10-bead hydrometer test for determining the solids-riot fat in milk is relatively easy. The milk is first heated to 105 degrees 'Fahrenheit and held at this temperature for five minutes to dissolve the butterfat. It is then cooled to 68 degrees and placed on the mirror assembly. The number of beads rising to the top of the sample is recorded and compared to the percentage of butterfat to complete the test. Martin, Top SNF Herd Ivan G. Martin, Ephrata 81, owner of the top herd in the county feels SMF breeds through from dam to daughter to the same extent as butter fat. “But you are disappoint ed sometimes in the test of the daughter out of a good cow,” he said. Martin keeps 24 cows and 18 heifers on his 123-acre “strictly-dairy” farm. The main crops raised are alfalfa, corn and wheat.

Other States have kept the county agent set-up but have added spe cialized agents and teams at agents to help with more spe cialized commodity and are® problems over a several-coun ty area. The area agents are select ed for their special training and experience in such prob lem areas as agronomy, farm management, marketing, pest control, or resource develop ment, depending on the needs of the area. The area, agents, provide more specialized, lo calized services needed by farmers, commodity and com munity groups. The study is being carried out by teams of two Federal Extension leaders in each of 12 States; Arkansas, Califor nia, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania and Wash ington. Dr. Davis estimates that the study teams 'will complete their survey in about six weeks. Results of the study will be summarized for re porting to State Directors of Extension at their annual meeting in May. • Farm Calendar (Continued from Page 1) baker, Strasburg Pike, Lan caster. 7.30 pm.
