Change in Director Election System by Red Rose DHIA Directors
Red Rose Dairy Herd Improvement Assn. directors met at the Lancaster Post Office to alter director election procedures. A nominating committee will select three candidates per district, with ballots carried to the counting committee for tallying at the Sept. 23 county meeting. A new testing association in Manheim will use owner-sampler testers, with Ly ons and his son as testers. University officials urged machine record keeping for owner-sampler herds, while officials kept a selective machine approach for desired herds. The group approved a $3 testing membership fee, potentially creditable toward a $5 DHIA join fee, and raised the treasurer’s salary to $40 monthly.
