The purebred dairy sire is the greatest single factor in increasing the acerage production of dalry cows. This fact is generally recognized; yet 75 per cent of the dairy bulls in serv- fce in the United States are either grades or scrubs, Furthermore, ac cording to the bureau of dairy indus try, United States Department of Agriculture, a survey of the 48 states has shown that states or sec tions of states having the highest percentage of purebred dairy sires are also leading in average milk pro duction, Suggest Various Plans.
