People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Pioneers in the Dairy Industry

CLAWSON YOUNG CANNON has a long and distinguished record in the dairy field. Born at Salt Lake City, Utah, he graduated from Utah Agricultural College in 1913 and remained as instructor in dairy husbandry until 1914. From then until 1920 he was an instructor in agriculture at Boise, Idaho, High School. Smith-Hughes work and the development of vocational agriculture courses in high schools were first introduced in Idaho during that time.

From 1920 to 1930, Cannon was a member of the animal husbandry staff at Brigham Young University. It was during this time, as owner of a farm and a Jersey herd, that he personally bred, fed, developed, and milked a Jersey cow which made a world's production record, as well as another which took twelfth place.

Spurred by an interest in educational work, Cannon obtained leave for advanced study and obtained the M.S. degree in 1923 and the Ph.D. degree in 1927 from Iowa State College.
