Co-Operation Pays “Bull Associations” and How They Work FEW years ago a “farm survey” was made of a dairy district “in Iowa, covering the farms on 28 sections of land. In spite of the growing knowl- edge of better farming and better dairying methods, it was found that the productivity of these farms was lessening. Principally this avas mark- ed in the lessened dairy ‘products. The survey showed one of the prin- cipal reasons why dairy production was going down was the new heifers milked each year were smaller pro- ducers than their dams had been. And the reason for this was the poor class of scrub bulls used. Nearly every farmer had a bull, some more than one. The average bull represented an investment of $89. When the survey was completed a meeting of the farmers wag called and an expert of the United States depart- ment of agriculture put the matter up to them in 'this manner: “Most of the money that is invested in your bulls at the present time is worse than wasted, because each year the production of your new milking heifers is less instead of greater. “By clubbing together you can buy a few purebred bulls that will take the place of your many scrubs and the cost to each individual farmer will be no greater than when he owns his own bull, probably less. The result will be that your new milking heifers, instead of producing less than their dams, will give more milk. Now how many of " you want to go in on the proposition ?” Sixteen of the farmers agreed. -The others wanted to wait awhile and see what happened. ‘NORTH DAKOTA LAW WILL AID MOVEMENT A co-operative association was formed. Five purebred bulls were bought for $240 apiece. The cost, dis- tributed among the 16 farmers, was $75 for each, less than their invest- ment had been in the scrub bulls. The 16 .farmens were divided into five groups, according to their location. Each group was assigned one bf the purebred bulls.. At the end of two years, to prevent inbreeding, bulls were moved around the circle. If all the bulls live and are kept until they have mad& the complete circuit, no new bulls need be bought for 10 years. Individual members of the circuit were instructed to keep records of the production of the new heifers as they were milked and of their dams. The purpose of these records ;s to show which bulls are a good investment and which, if any, should be sent to the butcher. The Iowa Bull association is one of 78 now operating in the United States. This number will be greatly increased soon when the North Dakota “cow association” law is put into effect. The North Dakota law provides state and county aid to encourage farmers to buy grade dairy cows. All farmers receiving this aid must be members of a local co-operative asso- ciation and each association must buy one or more purebred bulls so that a progressive improvement in the stock will ‘follow. ‘Farmers desiring information about the North Dakota law. can obtain it by writing J. J. Osterhous, state dairy commissioner, Bismarck, N. D. Farm- ers in other states interested in or- ganizing bull associations can 'obtain full information by writing the United States department of agriculture, Washington, D, C., and asking for Farmers’ Bulletin 098.
