7. REPORT OF THE SECOND JERSEY SIRES' FUTURI- 

 TY TEST OF THE AROOSTOOK JERSEY 

 BREEDERS' ASSOCIATION. 



The first of these sires' futurity tests was held at Aroostook 

 Farm in the late autumn of 1915, and the results have been re- 

 ported.'' 



The first test attracted a great deal of favorable attention 

 both in the State and out. It was hoped that the second test, 

 which was held at Aroostook Farm, Presque Isle, Maine, Oc- 

 tober 9-15 inclusive, 1916, would have a larger number of en- 

 tries than the first, but this hope was not realized, for a variety 

 of reasons which need not be gone into here. The second test 

 was carried out under the same rules as the first (loc. cit. pp. 

 41-46) and with the supervision of a representative of the Ex- 

 periment Station, Mr. C. Harry White.
