CORRECTION. 



SOUTH GIPPSLAND JERSEYS. 



In the Journal of Agriculture for February, in an account of Mr. S. 

 Rowe's Jersey herd, it was stated that a two-year-old bull out of 

 Larkspur's Claribelle " won wherever shown last year." Later infor- 

 mation, however, demands a correction of that statement. 



Mr. D. C. Miller, of Agnes, who is also a breeder of Jersey cattle, 

 has pointed out that a bull bred by him won the first and championship 

 prize at the Leongatha Show last year, on which occasion Mr. Rowe's 

 bull was placed second. 



It Avoiild appear that a fine competitive spirit exists in regard to 

 Show honours in the Jersey classes in South Gippsland, as these two 

 bulls have met in competition on four occasions. Three times Mr. 

 Rowe's bull was placed first, and once the judge preferred Mr. Miller's. 



If only the same spirit of emulation obtained throughout the State 

 in regard to annual butter-fat production as exists in the case of Show 

 ring honours, there would be a big future for breeders of Jersey stock. 

 This breed is able to hold its Q-mi with any other in dairv work, and it 

 is every breeder's duty to himself, as well as to the breed he is handling, 

 to demonstrate its worth to the public through the medium of the 

 Government Herd Test Competition.
