Gay,/President, Reviews Three Years Of Progr al Meeting Highlight of the third annual® meeting of NEPA Artificial Breed- ing Association at Tunkhannock was the address of Arthur H. Gay, pres- ident, who reviewed the prgress: of the Association. In part Mr. Gay said: Progress and tremendous growth have been with us ever since the day we or- ganized. Until now we have 10 local units with 41,000 cows. These same local units employed 18 full time technicians and 8 assistants that bred 35,461 cows during the year just completed. The service of the central unit is to provide a plant for the pro- duction of high quality breeding service from the best bulls obtain- able. It is here that the bulls are housed, fed, and semen obtained for use in the locals cooperating. There are 10 locals. Each of these locals have 9 directors. The locals are represented at the central by directors. Thus, the members elect the directors for their local group who have charge of the operation of the locals. Part of their duty is to carry out the necessary activi- ties in giving service to the mem- bership. The representation from the locals go to make up the Board of Directors of NEPA in carrying out the policies which are needed for good operation. This coopera- tive is strictly a democratic organ- ization where a member has an op- portunity to explain himself at the local meetings or through his di- rector. Much assistance and help has been given by the Extension Depart- ment which includes the specialists and county agents. Dr. Almquist, in charge of re- search at State College, has been very cooperative in working out some of our problems. He has at- tended several annual meetings of the locals the past year. John Gauss, Agricultural Econ- omics Extension, has assisted the locals and the central in keeping their financial acounts. R. H. Olmstead, in charge of Dairy Husbandry Extension; Clyde Hall and Joe Taylor, Dairy Exten- sion Specialists, have advised and assisted in the operations and have attended a number of our meetings. NEPA has its primary interests devoted to the dairymen of north- eastern Pennsylvania. However, we are interested in seeing the artificial program developed on a sound state and national basis. To be sure that we do our part in establishing a sound over-all program for dairy herd improvement, we are an active member of the state association of artificial breeding cooperatives, and, also, a member of the national asso- ciation of Artificial Breeding Estab- lishments, and each year NEPA is well represented at all state-wide meetings. = We sent our manager and Don Williams as our represent- atives to the national association meeting. As an example of the results that we can achieve in these state-wide endeavors, your president and Mr. Madigan had the pleasure of serv- ing on the research committee that secured a state appropriation of $95,000 to establish an artificial breeding research program at State College. In addition to this appropriation, the research committee composed of one member from each of the 5 centrals in Pennsylvania deemed it advisable that each central or- ganization contribute to a research fund to go along with the state appropriation. Your Board of Directors agreed with this research committee's recommendations and granted $5,000 to State College to be used as they see fit for research in artificial breeding. . We appreciate the efforts of our manager, Bill Schaefer, in keeping all members of our organization and other dairymen informed as to the progress and sound growth ' of NEPA. He has done a good job on this through the Bulletin printed each month and his own personal contacts. In addition to his efforts, the directors thought it advisable to have a Field Day, bringing together the calves resulting from artificial breeding in each of our local units. Feeling that this is proof of the results to members as well as non- members, the Show and Field Day was held August 27th with 60 ani- mals exhibited. Each local had an opportunity to compete for a special prize donated by the Wyoming County Bankers. These prizes were plaques. The Holstein plaque was won by the Tunkhannock Local, the Jersey plaque by the Wayne local, and the Guernsey plaque by the Western Bradford Local. The purpose of the Field Day was to encourage the CoH, MAGIC HEAT HOT WATER TANKS Fuel Supply Heatrite Sales DALLAS 579-R-7 Winkler Stokers - Oil Burners Industrial & Domestic NORGE AUTOMATIC HEAT OIL BOILERS — SPACE HEATERS Guaranteed & Service Co. —_ 158-R-8 LE Te A better growing of heifers and to show the members the type of heifers that result from the breed- ing and offer the members an op- portunity to visit the central and become better acquainted with the operation.

Mrs. Williams wrote | the Post a nice note with this little | household hint: ‘Here they serve lemon for one’s tea wrapped in cheesecloth, sorta like a tea bag. It keeps the fingers clean, keeps seeds from dropping in the cup, and above all saves your table part- ner from that inevitable squirt in the eye.” We shall try it. 1 1LL LS AE BERET 0 GET: TO!
