Conclusions. 



i. Illinois is deficient in good pure-bred dairy cattle of 

 all breeds. 



2. The large increase in the number of tests made during 

 the last year indicates that the breeders are commencing to real- 

 ize the importance of systematic breeding for production. 



3. There is a great need for the organization of state and 

 local breed associations, and for active work to be done by 

 them.
