Research Work of the Bureau of Dairying¹

In Charge, Research Laboratories, Bureau of Dairying, U. S. D. A.

ABSTRACT

The subject assigned to me for discussion at this meeting of the Dairy Science Association is the research work in the Bureau of Dairying, but I feel that I can use your time to better advantage if I discuss the general question of research work in dairying. If I draw on the work of the Bureau for examples of how I think research work should or should not be done perhaps I will come sufficiently within the limits of my title.

The greater part of the investigational work in dairying is done with public funds and the public has a right to expect that this work will be so organized and conducted that the greatest possible returns will be secured. The public is much inclined to ignore purely scientific facts and to consider as returns from research only those advances which tend to increase the profits of industry. It behooves us, therefore, not only to obtain results of value but to coördinate our efforts so that these results will become applicable to the industry and available to the public.
