GREAT HOLSTEIN
ESSEX COW'S FINE RECORD Only another 26 tons of milk stand between of Essex—her full name is Ongar Estdle —and a world record. Estelle, who was 13 this week has just set up a record for British Fries ians by giving more than 8-i tons of milk. The record of any Friesian is held by the American with 110 tons. In October, it is hoped, Estelle will break one record by becoming the first Friesian to yield more than 2000 gallons of milk in each of seven successive seasons. She has already, cqaulled the record with six. Then she will go for the American cow's record. Her highest yield was 23,6101b in 1937.
