REGISTER-OF-HOlSrOR 



« 



To accommodate members of dairy improvement associations 

 who desire to enter grade cows or pure-breds for register-of-merit 

 tests, but who do not feel like undergoing the extra expense of 

 having the dairy demonstration agent present at an inspection 

 milking as called for in Rule 5, the Bureau of Farmers' Institutes 

 will accept the cows for the tests, and if they meet requirements 

 will issue a reo-ister-of-honor certificate on which is noted the 

 fact that only two milkings have been officially observed. In 

 such cases all of the foTegoing rules apply except Rules 5 and 9.
