The new record keeping plan
was developed by the Dairy Hus-
bandry Research Branch of the De-
partment's Agricultural Research
Service with the help of the Ex-
tension Section of the American
Dairy Science Association. It is
somewhat similar to a plan tried
out under field conditions in Illi-
nois during the past 2 years which
has proved to be quite successful.
The American Dairy Science As-
sociation approved the Weigh-a-
Day program at its 1956 meeting.
The plan also has the backing of
dairy industry groups, farm orgatv
izations, and the Extension Com-
mittee on Organization and Policy
of the American Association of
Land-Grant Colleges and State Un-
iversities.
! The new plan was given further
impetus in the spring of 1956 when
a special committee representing
research, education, and industry
recommended it as a means of
providing large numbers of dairy
farmers with basic information
needed for developing efficient
and profitable herds. This commit-
tee met with Federal Extension
Service workers for the explicit
purpose of developing a program'
for helping dairymen solve cur-
rent production problems. Tho
Weigha-Day plan was the major
educational approach recommend-
ed by the committe for increasing
dairy efficiency.
sponsibility for operating the plan,
—that is, select secretary-treasur-
er, establish and collect Weigh-a-
Day plan fees, and establish and
pay for computing service. The
Weigh-a-Day clerk may serve as
secretary-treasurer and handle
business of the plan. The clerk
should work under the direction of
the committee and under the gen-
eral supervision of the county ag-j
ent.
The computing service:
1. Receives the monthly record,
from each participating dairyman.
2. Calculates the monthly milk '■
production of each cow, production !
to date for the year for each cow,1
and the monthly herd average, j
3. Returns the calculated rec-1
ords to the herd owner, together;
with a form for the next month's!
records.
4. Provides a yearly summary of
the production of each cow in the
herd at the close of -the recording
year. (Detailed instructions for
calculating the records are provid-
ed computing services. The sug-
gested fees are adequate to pay
satisfactory clerk wage rates to
have the records calculated man-
ually.)

What I is
The Weigh a-Day-a-Month plan
is a simple and low-cost system of
keeping dairy records It is specif-
ically designed to meet the needs
of dairymen who for various rea-
sons are not now participating in
the standard DHIA or Owner-Sam-
pler plan of record keeping.
In addition to its simplicity, the
appealing features of the plan are
its adaptability to all herds, both ,)ts
small and large, and its low cost.
Only records of milk production
are kept by the dairy farmer. Be-
cau.se of this, Weigh-a-Day records
are less complete than DHIA or
Owner-Sampler records. They are,
however, adequate for (1) locating
loafers, (2) feeding each cow ac-
cording to productive capacity,
and (I!) electing tin best cow
from which to raise herd replace-
ments Because of this, Weigh-a-
Day can help owners of both small
and large herds to increase their

How It Operates
Dairy farmers enrolled in the
Weigh-ii Day plan receive their
record keeping instructions from
the county agent. They also agree
t, 1 > to pay in advance a year's fee,
approximately 5 cents per cow per
month, for the record keeping ser-
vice, (2* to provide milk scales and
a looseleat record binder, and (3>
to weiyh the milk of each cow in
the herd morning and evening on
the 15th of each month, record
their weights on the forms provid-
ed. and mail the forms to the
county agent's office or to a desig-
nated computing service where the
records are calculated.
The County Agent, in coopera-
tion with the local dairy commit
tee, develops the Weigh-a-Day plan
of record keeping in his county,
carries out the necessary educa
Uonal work for implementing it,
and supervises its progress He ar-
If properly handled, the leaves
which are now falling and clutter-
ing yards and gardens can give a
boost to next year's flower or veg-
etable garden.
It may be easier to burn them
but the extra time required to
put them in a compost pile will
return big dividends. Use the com-
post next year to increase the or-
ganic matter in the soil or for
mulching flowers, shrubs, or vege-
Organie matter increases
the soil's ability to hold water and
plant nutrients and makes the soil
easier to work. Mulches are valua-
ble for controlling soil tempera-
ture /and conserving moisture.
Making a compost pile is an
easy operation. Scrap lumber or a1
few feet of net wire and four posts
will take care of the enclosures.
Then start with a six inch layer of
leaves . . . and for the four foot
square enclosure . . . dissolve a
cup of commercial fertilizer, eith-
er 8-8-8 or 5-10-5, in water and
sprinkle the solution over the lay-
er of leaves. Keep adding these al-
ternate layers unlil the pile reach-
es the desired height. Leave the
top layer somewhat saucer shaped
as an aid for holding water on the
leaves. Cover the pile with a shal-
low layer of soil.
Decomposition of the leaves will
be speeded up if the material is!
turned and water added at regu-,
lar intervals. In areas where the
«soils are acid, we suggest adding"]
a cup of lime to the fertilizer, i
