TESTING OF PUREBRED DAIRY COWS.

CURRENT C.O.R. LIST.

W. M. SINGLETON,

Assistant Director of the Dairy Division.

Although not the final C.O.R. list for 1920, the present return shows the records of almost a hundred cows and heifers completed in December. The remaining records of the year are expected to be ready for the next issue of the Journal. As this list is so lengthy, comment on individual records is withheld, but it will be noticed that many excellent yields are reported.
