Memorial

Enos J. Perry, 92, extension professor emeritus of dairy husbandry at Cook College, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, died on September 18, 1983.

Perry's greatest contribution to agriculture was in artificial breeding of cattle. During a 3-month sabbatical in 1937, he studied dairy farming and herd management practices in Europe, chiefly Denmark. There he witnessed the first efforts to apply artificial breeding on a broad scale. Perry sensed the potential that existed for improving the quality of dairy cattle by the greater use of better bulls. When he returned from Denmark, he urged and was instrumental in helping local breeders to initiate the first cattle breeding organization to use artificial insemination in the United States, originating as Cooperative Breeding Association No. 1 in Clinton, NJ on May 17, 1938.

His educational leadership in dairy husbandry and his pioneering efforts in the breeding and improvement of dairy cattle were both significant contributions to world agriculture.
