The latter part of April, 1913, a circular letter was sent out notify- 

 ing the men who had furnished calves for this experiment that another 

 consignment of calves was desired during the month of May. Later 

 a second letter was sent out. No calves came in response to these calls. 

 Then the same person who had collected calves for Group VI was 

 engaged to secure the calves for Group VII. On June 2, 4 calves were 

 secured averaging 141.5 pounds in weight. By July 6 the group num- 

 bered 13, averaging 144.54 pounds. By July 27 the group numbered 

 25, weighing, on an average, 136 pounds, and by August 10, 30 had 

 been secured averaging 146.5 pounds. The cause of the difficulty in 

 securing calves for the experiment will be referred to later.
