BUTTERFAT BRINGS
$375,000 LAST YEAR
TO WALLOWA FARMS
Sumo Idea of tho dairy Industry
as It is being carried on In "Wal
lowa county may be gathered from
a recent roport covering tho year
f ia7. mude by . N. C. -Donaldson,
agent of that county. The facts as
clearly set forth by Mr. Donaldson
must have had considerable Inter
est for those in the dairy business,
as well as fur those who hud not
been previously cognisant of Us ex
tent. Mr. Donaldson pointed out that
816,000 pounds of butterfat were
produced in Wallowa county dur
ing 1U27 of which records wero
kept.' Of this, GuO.000 were ship
ped out and 256,000 wero consumed
at homo. Kor tho amount , of the
product which found its way to
market by being shipped by rail or
truck, by being delivered to the
cheese factory ut Knterprlse op be
ing used by the two creameries In
the county, a neat sum of $375,000
was realized. ' .
This, Mr. Donaldson pointed out,
was cash coming In continuously
throughout the entire years. It
ed oil during tho business hour.
Tin day being faster, a very ap
propriate program was rendered tn
honor or the day. Miss Pearl Wells,
who Is visiting her sister, Mrs. It.
12. Thomas, was a visitor of the
grunge und took purt in tho pro
grum. o

Mr. Donaldson makes two state
ments tu calling attention to tho
report, the first being the extent of
the industry. The second was the
fact, that the. greater part of the
product is going out of the county.
He insists that If the cream were
kept at home there would bo suf
ficient butterfat produced to sup
port two more creameries mid an
other cheese factory.
Lambing Season
Successful At
Dobbin's Ranch
.Jim Dobbin whose ranch lies
near Ia Oraude has a reputation
as a sheep grower that extends con- '
slderubly beyond the confines of
this county, lainblng season was
very successful this year, with a
minimum of loss. Mr. Dobbin has
200 head of registered Hampshire
sheop, and it will bo remembered
that animals from his pens havo
always been ribbon winners, ami
t have commanded a very high
t price.
I On the Dobbin farm may be
found what has been termed by
those who know, the best equipped
.shnep barn In eastern Oregon, and
in visitor In tills section from tho
'other valley is responsible for, tho
'statement that It Is tho best In
Oregon. In this barn Mr. Dobbin
lias worked out a number of bis
urlginul if leas, Ideas wyiich hnvo
been copied quite considerably be
cause of their merit. A new addi
tion bus been built which measures
50x140 feol.
The ono outstanding idea, It was
pointed out, wna, tho convenience
fur feeding. Miv. Dubbin, asserts,
that when everything gels in prop
er working order, it will ho possible
forgone man to feed 500 sheep,
night and morning, in one hour.
Me keeps all his feed, Including
chopped hay overhead. Tho hay is
all chopped under cover. He bus
perfected a water trough which
liiiH grent merit. and is working on
a feeder, which he believes will bo
a great Improvement over anything
procurjihlc at the present time.
It was pointed out thiit with tho
arrangements and Improvements
found, with the barn made Into
compartments, etc., a large band
of shec,P could be cared for entirely
