Extract

A Productive and efficient dairy industry seems likely to be a valuable national asset for many years to come. At this time of great change in the economic and political forces governing the dairy industry it is more apt to concern ourselves with what will be required of the cow of tomorrow, rather than to indulge in self congratulation on what has already been achieved, great as those advances have been. Analyses of this kind are essential before we can decide what information will be required to meet future conditions; in other words, what research will be necessary.
