Meanwhile, the Owenses and two Boston researchers, Dr. V. Everett Kinsey and Dr. Leona Zacharias, had worked out a theory.

...Calgary, there was a super-banquet, with speeches in her honor. Some 500 folks attended, some from as far away as New York and Quebec. Alcartra took it all as a contented country maiden should. A sleek Holstein, she had yielded a barn-shaking 1,410 lbs. of butterfat, 27,800 lbs. of milk, in one year...
