Vice Presi dent of the Northwestern National Hank of Portluml, on his return re cently from a tour of eastern Ore gon, Washington and Idaho, stated that he found a condition of pros perity prevailing throuKhout this territory which has been un- equaled in Northwest history. Affer speaking of the returns on spring lambs and wheat from the Pendleton, Jleppncr and Walla Walla country, he spoke of a famer living near Onturio who had just sold 8!!U tons of alfalfa from two cuttings on 120 acres, who had received $7.M per ton or $ti, 270.00. Ho estimated his third cutting at $1000. He also grew corn on 40 acres together with other crops. At Payette, Idaho, notwithstand ing the failure of the fiuit crop, he found that they had more money and are enjoying a greater degree of prosperity than for many years. This is a result largely of diversi fied farming on irrigated lands. Also these lands arc ail about the same elevation as the Prineville Valley and have the same climatic and soil conditions.

H. Rosemnn and Secretary E. C. Park. The association was started largely through the efforts of the County Agriculturist working in cooperation with interested, parties. Records of the two months, Sep tember and August, are in the county agenst's office where the agent, R. A. Blanchard, makes in teresting notation of the facts re vealed. While the records c nly deal with those cows producing more than 40 pounds of butter fat per rqonth, there were but IS cows in the en tire association doing this. The average cow gave 4i lbs of fat per month. Charging ber with a fair cost of labor and keep this would give the owner $69.00 per year profit per cow. The poorest produced a profit of but $45.00 while the best cow on test returned $120.00, a difference of $85 per year. If the association went no farther than this, it would serve to'prove the difference in the herds themselves. From study of the records, it is apparent that the percent of fat, or the richness of tho milk is not always an indicator of the value of the cow. The animals varied from 2.5 to 7 percent, but the cow hav ning the best cream gave the lowest number of pounds, 'While the ' CATTLE Pure-bred Durhams, Holsteins, Jerseys and Grades to be sold without reserve at auction at Redmond, Ore. Nov. 1 7, 1916 Beginning at 1 6:00 O'clock, A. M. Yearling and two-year-old Steers and Heifers, Cows Calves and Registered Bulls Stock Inspected & Guaranteed TERMS Six months at 8 per cent on bankable paper with privilege of renewal if condition of Stock warrants Harris & Miller Owners Col. L. H. Linbarger of Santa Barbara, Caln Auctioneer poorest cow gave the greatest number of pounds of milk, better nan li tons of milk per month than the other animal .representing thdifference of almost $4 per month. Records reveal also that all grade cows are not always the poorest, nor are the pure bred arejbetter than the grades, but the average of the highest cows treds towards the pure breds a difference ot 1.3 lbs of butter fat in. their favor per month. This hinges upon the fundamentals of the association. Quality is invested in the individual, rather than the name of the particular breed. . One member of the association characterized the work of that body by saying that it was just merely good business. While any man can do this for himself, it is rarely the experience that he does it to any real consistent extent. The asso ciation acts as an auditor to the usiness house, who goes over the books, systematizes the work and helps to place the business on a better paying basis. One cow testing ass'Hiiation in , Nebraska makes the claim that the associa tion raised the production of its herds 60 pounds of butter fat as the result of the first year. Recently a man in Washington sold his herd of cows out at $20 above the average price, because of having been a member of an association. b
