LANDowners HOSTEIN HAS BIG RECORD FOR YEAR Mike Babylon, a well known Orange-co dairyman living one mile south of Santa Ana, owns a mixed herd of grade and purebred dairy cattle. Lady Josephine De Kol Xtasso, an eight year old type purebred Holstein cow owned by Babylon, just closed a 12 months' lactation period producing 21313 pounds milk and 1084 pounds butter. This dairyman has been faithful booster of the Farm Bureau County Cewtesting association and follows very progressive methods in carrying on his dairy business. This record was made in the county cewtesting association and is the highest producer purebred cow that is under test. "Xtasso" as Babylon's cow is commonly known, made a 7-day record of 14-14 pounds butter when she was 23 months old. This animal is not only a real individual but has some prominent ancestors in the Holstein-Freeland world. Xtasso is hired by "Xtasso Gem of Salida", who had two A.K.O daughters, and out of Leda Josephine De Kol, who also held a seven-day record. Babylon intends to dispose of all grade cows and in time breed nothing but purebred Holsteins. He certainly has some wonderful foundation stock.

This record cow, and her two daughters will be shown at the coming county fair this year, which is September 28th to October 1st, inclusive, Huntington Beach.
