take one week vacation each
year

tested during the week would
be averaged, and the danyman
would pay the normal late Un
der the system, heids would be
aveiaged only once in every
four years.
The action was taken at the
lequest of the testers who had
lequested the vacation time at
a meeting last winter Directors
studied the proposal and an al
ternative of an inciease of five
cents per cow in fees It was
agreed that the vacation plan
would be more a equitable ar
rangement
A dairyman who objects to
having his herd averaged once
in four years may lequest a
test during that month, but the

The dnectois voted to pur
chase anothei Milk-O-Meter for
use in testing at pipeline in
stallations The association now
owns nine of the meters
On recommendation of the
University, the dnectois dis
cussed replacing the present
tester scales with a more ac
curate type, but felt that the
$l7 50 per unit for 17 testers
would over-burden the budget
at present
