"The oermance of the dairy Indus try depends on the efficiency of our cattle," declares J. E. Mills, superin tendent of the dairy department of the Eastern Oregon Livestock show, which begins at Union on Wednesday of next week, continuing for three days,-June 10, 11, 12. "While our breeders have developed cows able to produce 600-1300 pounds of butterfat annually and our best herds in the cow testing associations average 300 400 pounds of butterfat per cow, the average dairy cow Is not a paying proposition under present coiuu tlons." Mr. Mills believes that every pro gressive dairyman should avail him self of the opportunity presented at the stock show to observe the progress that has been made In the Improve ment of dairy cattle. Much of the progress made In Eastern Oregon dairying has been the result of breed ing stock disseminated through sales made at tne union snow. tirade Cow Contest.

The Blue Mountain creamery of La Grande and Union and tho Perkins Motor company also offer specials in this division. "Some dav we will follow the cx ample of New Zealand and establish a registry for grade cows of known worth," declared a prominent dairy man recently.
