is a fact. We have the figures. I took them right off from the books, no-

Q. I was in hopes you would stick to your first statement so I could 

 tell my patrons Mr. Gurler said that you can double the quantity of your 

 milk by care of your cows.

 didn't wash my hands in the morning; he was mistaken in one. 



Mr. Gaboon: I have had to fight that question with my hired help,, 

 and when I presented that question to dairymen that had cows to milk
