194 AGRICULTURE OF MAINE. 



The Cow Test Associations and the Breeders' Associations 

 ought to do much along this Hne. 



In closing this report I desire to extend to you my sincere 

 thanks for the consideration and support you have unceasingly 

 given me during the year. 



Again I am under obligations to the agricultural and daily 

 press, the dairymen and creamerymen of the State and to many 

 granges for valuable co-operation in the work and I would be 

 ungrateful indeed did I not express in some manner my appre- 

 ciation of the assistance rendered. 



Respectfully submitted, 



LEON S. MERRILL. 



State Dairx Instructor.
