The state’s first central milk testing laboratory opened on November 13, 1978 at the Department of Agriculture Building in Dover. Before the computer age, milk was tested by in dividuals employed by each county’s Dairy Herd Im provement Association, explains Delaware Ex tension dairy specialist Dr. George Haenlein. These milk testers visited each farm, sampled the milk, and analyzed it themselves with their own chemical ap paratus. Since the dawning of the computer age, however, the DHIA testers have found they could cover more ground by doing only the sampling and record keeping themselves, then sending the samples to a central laboratory for analyses. The collected information then is stored and processed by regional computers. Until recently, the closest central testing laboratory to Delaware was the one which is located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Now, for the first time, Delaware has its own 'facility. The new laboratory was established with funds appropriated by the Delaware Legislature, but in time it will become self-supporting with users’ Tractor stolen from York man YORK - A 1967 4020 John Deere power shift tractor was stolen from Charles Schriver of York R 6, on November 22. The tractor had brand new Goodyear tires. The serial number is T213P161594R and the engine number is 23E166093. Also stolen were hand tools, a power chain saw, and hydraulic jack. Anyone with information fees. Some dairy farmers pay more than $lOO per month to have their cows’ production tested. The fee depends upon the size of the farmer’s herd. The Dairy Herd Im provement Association is a voluntary non-profit organization of dairy producers. In addition to testing milk, DHIA keeps records of the genetic potential of each animal based on its production and offspring. This is to insure that the best animals are bred in each successive generation. Fanners who are not members of the DHIA may have their milk tested at the new central laboratory, but production records are only kept for members of DHIA. Members’ dues and testing fees are used to pay the testers’ salaries and to operate the regional com puter at Cornell University. The federal government also supports the DHIA in a limited manner by providing the use of a national com puter in Washington, D.C., and by lending the support of Cooperative Extension Service personnel such as Dr. Haenlein. States are mandated by the federal government to have dairy herd im provement programs. DHIA has become the model for a number of similar voluntary producer organizations in other livestock industries. regarding the property should Schriver. 13 stolen contact
