Oregon's dairy industry, respon sitili ior about one-se-veiiui oi me agricultural Income of the state, Ip tsucceaslully weathering serious ilo- press ion that followed the disas trous Slump m prices mi winter, judging from observations made in connection with the lttOO-niile tour of the state made by the dairy demonstra train ot the Oregon Suite co)k and the & P. and 3. road.' , ' , . ' ' i ' ' " This does not-meaiJ that every dairyman 1b prospering or that all are not still feeling ' the ' nineli of lew' prices .that liavo In many In stances wiped out the 'margin of immediate profit. What Is indi cated is that the Oregon dairy in dustry fn the main Is securely enough established on sound eco nomic factors that it has not been as severely shaken ns In some other sections where boom condi tions grew out of price inflation. 6tate Cows Rate High. -One of the factors favoring Ore gon dairymen is that average pro duction per cow Is considerately higher than Tor the United States as a wholein fact is fifth among the states in this respect. Oregon 'Is fourth among the stales in percentage of cows in cow testing associations and (he 12,000 cows tinder the test average above the 300 pound murk In an nual hutterfat production a rec ord not equalled in any other state. Part of the reason for this bet tered production record for Ore gon's 216,000 dairy cows comes from the fact that this state stands fifth in the country for the propor tion of purebred sires used in the herds. As I i I -ill producing cows , are so born and not made by en vironment, this is one of the most important factors contributing to the average Increase of some 30 pounds per cow in t he last 10 - years. In Favored Position The stnto has been particularly favored in opportunity to build up dairy herds through the jpresehce of many of the world's greatest purebred nnlmals. In the Jersey breed this lulvuiitiige Is particular ly notable in that Oregon with on! A five per cent of the Jersey cows holds more production that all other states combined. Taking nil breeds, Oregon has fewer than l.B per cent ot the registered animals but holds 8.6 per cent ot the rec ords and honors. Thus from the production stand point the Oregon dairy industry .lias been Bteadily advancing and Is In a favored position. Keed con-j dltlnns this spring and summer 'have been favorable following an unprecedented dry fall in which pastures were practically nou exIsL ent. Industry Growth Shown Ten years ago Oregon bad 80 creameries manufacturing an aver age of about Hi (i, 0H0 pounds of but ter each. Today it has IMS cream eries with an average production ot (in hp to 240.000 pounds of but tey. While this is a real improve ment, leaders in the Industry are convinced that fewer and larger manufacturing plants especially among the cooperatives would ma terially increase tbo marketing possibilities with consequent high er returns to the grower. Such a merger or federal Ion of cooperatives Is now being pro posed, the plans being worked out ln cooperation with the federal farm board representatives and the state college extension service. - At definite Improvement In aver age butter quality through the state is being noted in the la.it year or so and exports had In creased proportionately. Oregon, ""In Tact, Increased Its California ' sales bv 75 per cent last year, which is more than twice the In crease of any neighboring state.

The Bel gian government has instructed its amhtissador at Washington ' to make final, approach .to tbo United States government, and lo poirtt out ihat the new Increased duties in the tariff bill can not fall to make the trade balance between United States and Helglum even more unfavorable to Belgium than It Is ut present. The ambassador had been in structed to call the attention of the United States to (he "unforunale effects" which the new tariff scale may huve on the economic rela tions between the two countries. Viugtieme Steele, Catholic demo cralc paper which voices the opin ion of i!el-lan farmers, insists that the Belgian government, as tbo promoter ot economic policy nt Geneva, take a lead In bringing about concerted International ac tion of mutual defense and set up a united front of Kurope against America.

MPRQVES FLAVOR OF MANY Lfimb, Hoef and Hani are Dc- licious Seasoned With Sugar and Salt The popularity of Imked ham lies to a great extent in its glazed sugar coating. But many cooks use sugar in boiling ham. By adding a half to a cup of sugar to the water, uUo a half cup of vinegar, the meat "ph'ks up" u savory-sweet flavor during tlie conking that is most pleasing. Sugar also improves" the-flavor; of laoih chops when that -meat Is allowed to stand before frying in the following mixture 1 teaspoon sugar, teaspoon salt, I or 2 tea spoons vinegar or U-mon juice and 5 tablespoons salad oil. The sugar blend:; delicitmsly with nil the other ingredients and the meat juices. Beef stews composed solely of meat, or in combination with vege tables, arc also most taste-pleasing when a dash of sugar is added with the salt and pepper. Aside from using sugnr to season meat, it can be used successfully In the preparation of most canned And fresh vegoUbU-s.

Better Transportation .arid Refrigeration Develop Markets Acreage on Increase. , , Louisiana Leads States in Yield ; Original Stock Aided by Chilean Importation. The' growth of the strawberry Industry is a striking example of the great expansion of the so called luxury crops in recent years, says the bureau of agricultural economics, U. S. department of agriculture. Time was when the strawberry was limited practically lo the season of locally .grown berries. Fast transportation and refrigeration changed this until now customers may enjoy straw berries practically the year round. Within ten years the commercial acreage of strawberries has in creased from 93,420 acres in 1920 to 202,180 acres in 1929, and a pro jected area of 183.GS0 acres this year. "The commercial strawberry," says J. V. Strowbrldge in a techni cal bulletin on the origin and dis tribution of the commercial straw berry crop, just issued by the U. S. department of agriculture, "is be lieved to be a descendant of the wild meadow strawberry native to the country. The crossing of this wild strawberry of the eastern part of the United States with the cul tivated varieties from Chill result ed in hybrids from which the strawberry grown at the present time developed. Transportation Aids "Market production begun about 1800, hut, because of the perishable nature of the varieties then .grown, only small quantities were pro duced and those In localities near points of consumption. The expan sion of the industry as a commer cial proposition began about I860 and bus been encouraged by im provement In methods of culture and by the development of varie ties which are adapted to meet the variety of growing conditions in many producing sections and which have qualities that give a reasonable assurance of delivery In good condition to distant mar kets. Hefrlgeratlon and other im provements in transportation have aided the development of the In dustry in sections far removed from the centers of consumption." The industry has experienced marked changes. 1 Tennessee was the leading strawberry producing state . In 1920, but Louisiana, an earlier producing area, now leads In acreage and production. The preliminary estimate of acreage in Louisiana this year Is 24,000 acres as against 6.500 acres in 1920. Ten nessee In J 120 had 11,090 acres in strawberries, and reached a peak of 2ti,220 acres in 1924. The esti mate for this year is 13,450 acres. Trucking Also Aids Missouri is second in acreage this year, with, lti, 710 acres plant ed, followed by Arkansas with 14, 870 acres, and Maryland, 11,750 acres. Now York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and Detroit are the leading carload markets, hut the consumption In these markets Is considerably sreatei'i than Is Indi cated by carload receipts," as aug mented by increasing motor truck transportation, indicative of the greater use of ntator transporta tion, Delaware last year trucked strawberries as fur as Montreal, Canada.
