A special feature will be an in-depth discussion of the merits of some of the new breeds recently in 'troduced into the United States. Another “special” will be a consideration of the controversial “optimum cow body size” question that recently has become extremely important in producing cattle. According to Dr. Lowell L. Wilson, professor of animal science and chairman of the program, “this conference ties together many of the essentials of modernizing cow-calf production systems. The beef cattle business is changing rapidly. To ef ficiently use land through beef cattle, the producer must in corporate as many modern production practices as he possibly can.” In Pennsylvania, a state producing only approximately 25 per cent of the total beef con sumed in the state, there is an opportunity to raise more beef cows. The conference March 21, 22, and 23 is designed to help develop this potential, he points out. County agents have further information regarding the conference.
