Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Department of Agriculture: For the Year Ending November 30, 1922
That Massachusetts farmers are interested in dairying is manifest by the increase in the number of cows as of April 1, 1922. The assessors' report for 1922 shows cows, which is an increase of animals, or per cent, over the 1921 report. During the past fifty years the smallest number Of cows was reported in 1915, since which time there has been a steady increase, so that the number in 1922 is 15 per cent greater than that Of 1915.
The dairy farmers are constantly working to improve their herds, as is indicated by the data taken from the 1922 supple mentary list to the breeders and owners of pure-bred dairy cattle, issued in 1920. The 1922 list shows 605 persons owning pure-bred animals who were not listed in the earlier bulletin.
