THE POST, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 1948
NEPA Association, With 41,000 Cows,
Contributes $5,000 To Research Work
Arthur H. 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

Household Hint
Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Williams
of Lake street spent several days
recently at Atlantic City where
they were registered at Chalfonte-
| Haddon Hall. 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.
