XJW - "Cosh , George don't you know that thermos is filled with Qoldcn West!" the dairy Industry to bo tho far most Important unit. Compiled figures from most reliable sources provo this contention absolutely true. Now, If we are engaged In an Industry of greatest liunortnnca to our . national economy and health, Is not that a just causa for each Individual to brace up and be proud of his or her calling to this exceedingly Important livelihood? Perfect Joy ' is a realisation of a worthy task ' successfully accom plished. It la hero that your cow testing association plays Its part, j Tho first cow testing association on record was organised in Hon nark In 1895. At that time, tho Danish dairy industry was In tho most deplorablo condition. Pro duction was low duo to lll.bred, badly managed and abortion In fected herds. Organised efforts and cooperation with their oow testing association brought about the most rapid chango In a nutton'a history. Tho results were the elimination of, non-paying cows, purchase of better herd sires, banishing of in fectious diseases and tho discovery of tho abortion bacillus by Bern ard Hang In 1897. Today Denmark stands third in national average production, Holland first. Hnilser land, third and United States seventh. Tho first vow-testing association In the United Htates was organised In Michigan In 11106. Today, we hnvo about 976 associations, Of these, Wisconsin has 16U, Michi gan, 10 H, Minnesota, 86, Iowa, 77, Pennsylvania 40 and Oregon, 14. Tho average number of members in each la about 26 or approxim ately 26,000 herds enrolled. The accomplishment of thoso organisa tions la wonderful. It has brought wealth, as well as an abundance of knowledgo und high estoom for those cltlsens operating undor them. , . Tho Bureau of Dairy Industry has thoroughly . summarised ' tho records and found them to bo sur prisingly correct. Therefor, wo havs their hearty endorsement und cooperation, and togethor with our stuto college, we surelv aro worthy the noma "Dairy Herd Improve ment association." Oregon does not havo so large a number of associations, but 1 do i helievo Oregon has done somo re;. nmrknbly good work, due to a very able, and well arranged sys tem eneouruged by our state dairy specialist. - Homo of our dairy herd Improve ment associations have been In ac tivity for more than a dosen years. The testimony and records form those members who stayed by tho wheel throughout those years, give iw examples of real persistency. Friends, let mo give you the -fact that Oregon produces butterfat more cheaply than any of our rl val: eastern states, or at ,27 cents per pound. Tho Coos oounty, Tilla mook county and lower Columbia associations, havo . Wally accom plished deeds of national Import ance through their production and marketing facilities. - I How are wo coming ulong with j our local affairs? Pretty well, us fur as wo huvo guno-but your. baby1 must have a lot of attention to bucomu a man. I havo here tho annual report of tho Unlon-Wallowa Dairy Herd Improvement association, which wo completed last Hepteinber. Let us comparo this with our national production, ' ' Tho Bureau of Dairy Industry reports 124,337 cows for 408 herd : Improvement associations. I Average production per cow milk, 7324: butterfat 281 lbsV Average test 3.9 per cont. Value of product $170.78. Average cost of roughage $38.18 Averngo cost of grain $31.31, . Total cost ot feed $69.61. ' Average Income abovo cost of food $101.27. I Average Income par $1 expend ed $2.46. The Unlon-Wallowa report fol lows:, No, of herds tested 48. No. cows completing year's test 618. ' - I Average lbs. of mlllt per cow 6640.7. j Average lbs. butterfat 386.8. I Value of product $134.13. ' Avaruge cost of roughugo $34.28. I , Average cost of grain $16.91. j Total uvorage feed cost $61.19. ' Average profit above feed cost $83.98. i : Average return for $1 expended $2.62. From these, reports ' you will readily see that wo ura holding our pwn. j it 1b recommended that to fur ther Improve, we should wit a pro duction standard of something like 260 to 300 pounds of fat to begin (Continued from Pago 14) , m mm GOOD COOKING.
