DAIRY BREEDS OF CATTLE 139 



Great advancement in the appreciation and breeding of pure-bred 

 cattle has been and is being brought about by volunteer state and com- 

 munity organizations. The closer contact which these associations have 

 with the masses engaged in dairying make their opportunity greater than 

 that of national associations for giving encouragement to men to use the 

 very best breeding animals, especially sires, that it is possible to secure. 

 In fact, such organizations cannot be encouraged too much, for in the 

 work of local breeders and community effort lies the success of maintaining 

 high standards of excellence and the preservation of all breeds.
