IOWA STATE DAIRY ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES 



J. P. Eves, Field Secretary 



The year 1922 has shown a continuation of the dairy interest so 

 manifest during the previous year. The maintenance of a very sat- 

 isfactory butter market together with a continuation of low grain 

 prices has maintained the ever-increasing interest in dairying and the 

 demand for dairy cows. Iowa has long been following, more or less, 

 a so-called dual-purpose type, but during the past year a decided 

 change has been apparent. In practically every portion of the state 

 where there was a decent market for milk or butterfat, demand for 

 cows of our special purpose dairy breeds has been rapidly increas- 

 ing. This condition is gratifying since permanent dairy development 

 was impossible unless based on our dairy breeds as a foundation. 



One drawback to the most rapid development of the industry has 

 been the fact that Iowa has been made more or less of a dumping 

 ground by neighboring states for their inferior quality dairy cattle.
