«rade their grade and.scrub dairy bulls for purebred bull calves will be given lHllinois farmers during the coming BENEFIT DAIRY INDUSTRY by C. 8.

The exchange plan; which is being developed for the first time on a large gcale, is expected to replace close to 500 grade and u;n? dairy bulls with purbreds during the coming year. It has been approved by more than 100 prominent dairy cattle breeders of the state. The plan was explained by Mr. Rhode as foNlows: Names of breeders who are €0--0p-- mhmwndwhohnbuu calves available for exchange will be urnhwtomnudvlnum'du will hmhth'-mtwnouvmu» yange: for trades. The breeder will register, transfer and ship the calf mnd the express charges will be paid by the farmer. As the fAnal step in the plan, the farmer will sell his Mormbhlludtmthoulu slip and the check over to the county farm bureau treasurer who in turn will send it to the breeder who fur-- mnished the purebred calfl. 'The need for more and better pure-- bred bulls is perhaps the most press ing one in lllinois dairying at the pres-- y Pn y¥ T 7 Je ént time, according to Rhode. Ou!y about one--fifth of the dairy bulls being used are purebred, he said. | "Hundreds of purebred bull calves aré vealed in Iilinois every year be-- cause breeders feel they cannot afford to raise them.
