Urbana, IJ., June %.--Inefficient production rather than over produc-- tion is the danger that faces the Iilinoiz dairy industry, in . the opin-- lon of A. S. Rhode, dairy extension apecialist of the University of Illi-- nois. "The popularity of the dairy cow and the cream check during the past tew y:ars has caused many farmers and dairymen to be concerned about an ovoer production of dairy products to the extent that the dairy busi-- ness will become unprofitable, but poor methods and loose practices in dairying are cause tor more concern than any present possibility of over-- productiong," Rhode said. -- --*"The dverage cow in lllinois pro-- duces only a little more than 3,000 pounds of milk a yea;;'_he} pointed out showing the possibilities for more .:efficient production. In con-- trast to this the average production of cows in Ililinois county cow test-- u{'c.nqnocuuwl. the members of w ara using recommended and up to date methods, is more than 1000 pounds of milk a year, or more than twice --the . production of the ln_au cow in the. state. "RWurthermore, only about one--fifth of the dairy bulls used in lilinois are purebreds. In view of the fact 'that high producing cows that pay a profit .are sired omly by good bulls it is easy to see that one of the outstanding needs in an improved system' of. dairying for lllinois is more and better purebred sires. "The use of _such sires coupled with the keeping of cow testing as-- sociation records .will make for more efficient production and . . put the @airying industry of the state on & better basis. _ Herd improvement which 'usually is brought about by these associations eliminate unprof-- itable cows, thus taking' off the mar-- ket the dairy products that are pro-- duced at a loss." . e POLICE RECOVER --LOOT TAKEN FROM K.
