Steilacoom Prilly Blossom Sylvia II, one of the prize cows of the Western State's herd, poses proudly with A.D. Wertman, left, director of the farm, and Dr. W. N. Keller, superintendent of the hospital. The cow is the granddaughter of the famous Prilly Ormsby Blossom, who died last year holding the world's record for most milk production. At 17 years of age, she had produced 258, 209 pounds of milk, 9,556 pounds of butterfat. Her granddaughter is no slouch however; at ten years of age she has already produced over 4 times the milk an average cow will produce in a lifetime. (T. Times, 5/11/39, p. 2).
