Jacob G. (Jetry) Cash, 67, Professor Emeritus, Dairy Science Extension, University of Illinois, died suddenly on April 2, 1976, at Urbana, IL. He is survived by his wife Ettamae; daughters Mrs. Barbara Frock, Austin, TX, and Mrs. Colleen Moore, Memphis, TN; a son Fred of Urbana; four grandchildren; and his mother and sister, Mrs. Louise Clifton, Watseka, IL.
Cash served the dairymen of Illinois as Extension dairy specialist from March 1, 1933, until he left that position on July 31, 1970. He remained on the College of Agriculture staff in a teaching capacity until his retirement on January 31, 1972.
He attended Blackburn College for two years before transferring to the University of Illinois where he received his bachelor's degree in 1931 and the Master of Science degree in 1936.
The Dairy Herd Improvement production record program in the state expanded markedly under his guidance, and Illinois was one of the leaders in developing a program to calculate production records by electronic computers.
