I Smith, Resident Agriculturist, Arranges For Merting; of Ranchers at Marshfleld Saturday. MARSHFIELD. Or., March 5. (Spe cial.) Two cow testing associations will be formed among the dairymen of the Coos Bay section and Coos River. The organizations are to be effected Saturday, March 7, at which time ranchers will meet here. J. L. Smith, resident agriculturist, has 1000 cows promised for the associa tions and expects to increase the num ber to 1100 before the end of the week. The cost to the dairymen will be $1.23 per year per cow. Mr. Smith says that 1100 cows will be enough to form two associations and each will be in charge of experts, who are being sent to the county from the Agricultural College at Corvallis. Among the benefits to be derivedJ ituiii uiD aasuLiuiiuus art:, icieuung which cows are unprofitable, learning the best feed for cows, keeping account of the cows and their progeny so the rancher has reliable information on what calves are likely to prove valu able milkers, making information available to ranchers when any animals about the territory are. offered for sale. Mr. Smith says the system will, by culling the herds, make a general de mand for better bred cattle and, fol lowing this, the ranchers will be able to obtain better production and in creased prices for their butter and cheese. The testing associations. Mr. Smith holds, will create a greater interest in dairying and will aid the ranchers in co-operating for the improvement of the business in the sections affected. It is the expectation of Mr. Smith to form two or three associations in the Coquille Valley as soon as the Coos Bay bodies are working. It is probable one will be organized as well in the Tenmile country, where there are nearly 1000 cows among the dairymen. Every herd will be tested thoroughly every month. The expert will visit herds, there being about 26 ranchers to each association, thus giving the of fioial tester one day to each herd.
