People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Chester Linwood Roadhouse

CHESTER LINWOOD ROADHOUSE, born on a dairy farm near Watsonville, Calif., Jan. 5, 1881, got his start in the dairy industry at the age of five by trying unsuccessfully to milk a cow. Soon after, the family leased the dairy and moved to Fresno County in the interior valley and developed a raisin-grape and fruit acreage. A dairy was operated in connection with this enterprise. In his high school years he worked during summer vacations with grain harvesting crews, and the long hours convinced him that there must be a better method of making a living.

Roadhouse entered the Univ. of California as a regular student in agriculture in 1902. Courses in bacteriology and animal diseases were of special interest. After conferring with an instructor who was a graduate of Cornell Univ. and meeting DR. V. A. MOORE of the Cornell Veterinary faculty, he decided to continue his studies at that university.
