Four Holstein breeders in Black Hawk and Bremer counties, Iowa, sold 18 registered cows to J. P. Cundell, manager of a 100000 acre Hawaiian ranch, signaling a strong national demand for dairy stock. Cundell plans to use some cows at home, place bulls on nearby ranches, and send animals to an agricultural college and Honolulu traders.
