Officers elected were DANIEL E. HARRIS, New­ark, president; CLYDE BETTS, .Milton, vice-presi­dent; GEORGE F. 'V. HAEKLEIX, Newark, sec­retary-treasurer.

T. A. BAKER, School of Agriculture, Univ. ofDelaware, reported the progress of the Guern­sey Herd that was presented to the universityby the Delaware Guernsey Breeders' Associa­tion in 1951. The majority of the original cowsproduced more than 2,000 lb. of butterfat.

Fieldmen for Golden Guernsey Milk andGuernsey Cattle Sales reported a'highly com­petitive market. The trend of cattle prices isupward because of increased demand and be­cause of better quality stock. During the pastyears, low cattle prices have encouraged breed­ers to send more cows to the butcher.

Longtime Production Certificates wereawarded to five breeders for cows with morethan 2,000 lb. of butterfat and to one breederfor a cow with over 3,000 lb. of fat in sevencousecutive lactations from two to nine yearsof age. During the past 10 years 18 breedershad been awarded with Longtime ProductionCertificates for 80 cows exceeding 2,000 lb.of butterfat.

Ah"Saba qndthe 407J,ievesThe fabled Ali Baba never suspected that he was harboring 40 armedthieves under his roof. The fable states that Ali's watchful servant,Morgiana, discovered them lurking there and saved Ali and hisvaluables,

There are 40 thieves lurking in "very business operation today­awaiting every opportunity to rob it of profit. There are Wastes,Production Losses. Distribution Costs and a host of others - mostof them well entrenched and not easily recognized.

That's why every business needs a watchful servant like Morgiana- a faithful guardian of profit. In the Dairy Industry that has beenthe function of the Dairy Manufacture and Research Bureau for30 years

The Bureau uses a sharp and practised eye for ferreting out of Milkand Ice Cream operations the 40.odd leaks that may be robbing themof hard·won profit.

If you suspect you are paying tribute to some of these hidden thieves.why not join the Bureau now? Avail yourself of the Bureau's manyservices which will put your operation back on the road to full profit.For complete information, write
