DHIA Cows Pass 10,00
Pound Level
1958 will be a milestone in the
history of dairy herd impr6vement
work in this coun,try. During 1958
DHIA cows established an all-lAme
high average milk production level
of ten thousand and sixty eight
pounds of mi'lk ,per cow.
In 1906when Dairy Herd Im-
provement work started, the aver-
age produ¢tion per cow was five
thousand three hundred pounds
per cow. In ,that year, only two
hundred thirty nine cows were on
test.
In 1958 one million ,three hun-
dred and forty five thousand co~vs
were on test with an average pro-
ducti(m per cow o:f ten thousand
and six,ty eight pounds.
Improving a dairy herd is not
easily or quicldy done or accom-
plis~hed.
Wha~ ~)HIA members do, any
dairyman can do. Any dairyman
cart improve .his herd regardless
of i.ts s~ze or level of production if
'he keeps records on his cows and
uses ~hose records to improve his
herd.

The November mee
Business in West Virginia has re
istered a ,pronounce/ ,comeback
Irom ~he business decline of 1958.
This fact is ,borne out by figures
compiled by the Tax Depa~l~nent's
Business and Occt~palion and
Transportation Tax Division for
%he ~hird quarter of 1959, ending
Septem~oer 30.
CollectAons under ,ffnat tax were
u~) 1'9 percen:t in %l~t quarter over
~he ,third quarter of last year.
i The tax yield :for ,the three-men
th period to%aled $12,858,573.93 as
related to only $10,794,124.18 for
,~the third quarter af 1958. That is
!a dollar and cen~ increa.~e o~ $2,-
1064,449.75.
: T~e :larges,t increase was marked
up ~n .the cor~tra~ng field ~here
~he ~hird qttavter collections t~-
a:led $1,5~6,912.33, as compared to
$9S1,777.63 for ~e same .three
months of 1958.
! That represents an increase of
83 per cone.
, ~ome ot~er categories listing su
bstantial invreases were oil (up 52
per corot); m~nufacturing (up 47)
telegraph companies (up 40) ;
stea~r~boa,t- steaxnship companies
(up 54) ;'buses (up 40) ; and truck
ers and ot~er carriers (up 23 per
cer~t).
The ~hird quarter figures for
1958 actually cover what were
!probably hhe most severe ~r~onths i
:of ,last year's decline, i
The Vax collecitions trail the per:
iod in w~c:h the business w~s act l
ual,ly ~transacted by approximately I
three months.
The comeback being made in
,~he business Ee~d is bringing our
!revenue yield back to 'the general
level enjoyed prior to 1958.
The year 1967 was the best in
Wes,t Virginia's history in total
collectAons under She Business and
OccupatAon and Transport~vtAon
Tax.
.q-Ieavy tax losses are amt)ici,p~ted
as a result of %he lengthy steel
:str~ke, which will prevent this cur
:ren~ fiscal year from, settAng new
records of revenue collection.
Because of inf}ation, l¢ n~w
costs $2.07 to buy what a dollar
