The John C. Campbell Folk School at Brasstown; Randolph Shields of Notla Farms, Culberson; and Bill and Mary Russell at And rews, aoheved the honor roll. Walker said the grade is made , by all co'vs making over 400 pounds of butterfat in 305 days or [ less. (305 days is considerer a normal lactation period. Poor records as well as good, ones, must be sent in because the Sire proving ^program of the U. S. Department of Agriculture is based on a Dam-Daughter comparison of these reports, Mr Walker said. The record, name, registration or (in grades) eartag number, age and breed of each Honor Roll coalong with her owner's name end address is published In the monthly Dairy Extension News, circulated among cooper ating dairymen, extension per sonnel and others interested in dairying throughout the state. Mr. Walker explained that only good cows under good manage ment are able to make the honor roll, and, he said, experience has proved that such^oows are the moat profitable one, to own. However, he aaid, many cows make the honor roll almost every lactation, while other cows, in the same herd, never produce enough milk or profit to make their owners proud of them. The honor roll requires that a Jersey or Guernsey must pro duce near 8,000 pounds of five per cent milk to make 400 pounds of fat; while a Holstein, testing three and five tenths per cent, must produce about 11, 500 pounds of milk. A break down of figures. Mr. Walker pointed out, shows that a Guernsey or Jersey would have to average a fraction over three gal lons of milk for 300 days to pro duce 930 gallons or 8,000 pounds; and the Holstein would have to average near four and a 'half gal lons to make her 1,340 gallons or 11,500 pounds.
