The Clackamas County Jersey Cat-
tie Club has held another live meet-
in at the Sunnyside Hail on Satur
day, March 12. In spite of good
weather for farm work, there was a
large attendance of members and a
number of visitors, among while were
Mr. and Mrs. Van Kleek and daughter
of Beaverton and Mr .and Mrs. Beirs
dorf and daughters of Cornelius, Hor
ace Addis of the Oregon Farm, Miss
Pauline Heacock. of Damascus, Prof.
Brandt of O. A. C. and a number of
local dairymen from around Sunny
side. The new county agricultural
agent, Walter A. Holt, was also pres
ent). 'During the business session in the
morning, several important dairy
topics were voted upon, most import
ant ot which were the two following.
A motion was carried to ask the
Clackamas County Farm Bureau to
make a survey of the number of scrub
sires in use in this county, the survey
to be made according to the plana
suggested by the O. A. C. The secre
tary wa3 instructed to write to Mr.
Loughary, secretary of Oregon Jersey
Cattle Club, informing him that the
C. C. J. C. C. stands strong for a
Jersey field man and that support of
the Clackamas county Jerseymen can
be depended upon.
After the business meeting every
one enjoyed a splendid dinner, plates
being filled, and refilled, nobody
knows how many times. Mrs. Kanna
served hot chicken pie which was cer
tainly appreciated. At 1 o'clock the
program began by singing, "Bring th9
Good Old" Jersey Cow." Prof. Brandt
of O- AL C. gave an instructive talk
regarding market conditions, of regis
tered stock and the immense field for
sale of surplus stock here in Oregon
in every community if the breeders
would take it upon themselves, by
means of exmaple and by figures
show to neighbors the benefit to be
derived by having pure bred stock and
registered sires. He said that every
other business has salesmen in the
field of work up a market for their
articles and he urged the breeders to
be less timid, and in everv legitimate
way, keep before the public, the ad
vantages, the profits obtainable, ana
the future development of the pure
bred livestock business here in Ore
gon. In the course of his talk he gave
a thorough explanation or tne tnree
bills of vital interest to the dairymen
passed by the last legislature. The
law to prohibit the sale of grade sires
for breeding purposes was considered
by Prof. Brandt to be the most con
structive bit of legislation yet passed
for the benefit of the dairymen. Think
what such a law enforced means to
the future dairyindustry. In sight of
15 years practically every farm ani
mal will be the off spring of a regis
tered sire. The other two bills were
those relating- to the prevention of
dishonest methods in the public sale
of animals and to prohibit by bidding
at auction sales. He hoped by the en
forcement of these two laws that the
confidence of the people in auction
sales could be regained.
Prof. Brandt emphasized some very
important points that every breeder
would do well to remember.
The debate on the question, Resolv
ed: That it is better to own a herd of
registered Jerseys of fair type and
good production than a herd of good
type and only fair production." was
rather .abbreviated as only two of the
speakers were present. N. H. Smith,
who spoke on the affirmative, gave
ome very, good points in the way of
figures of cost of maintainance and
production, which sure told you, you
didn't want much to do with a 300 lb
fat cow. Then when H. Wy Kanna
spoke on the negative, you surj
thought you didn't want much to do
with a cow that was not typy. So
twas easy to figure that henceforth
we want a herd almost perfect type
nd with an average herd production
of from 500 to 700 lbs of fat. Don't
you agree? The Jersey Club is justly
proud of the work being done by our
county club leader, Miss Snedeckei
who with nine club menxbers, was
present at the meeting, and there o;
ganized the Clackamas County Juve
nile Jersey Calf Club with a member
ship of enrollment of 15 and many
other prospective members. The fol
lowing officers were elected. Local
Club Leader, Carl J. Hanson, Boring;
President. Verner Anderson. Boring:
Vice-President. Francis Kanna, Port
land; Secretary, William Shearer.
The Calf Club will hold its meet
ings at the same time and place as the
Jersey Club and will admit for mem
bership only those boys or girls who
own registered Jersey calves.
The next meeting of the two clubs
will be at the farm home of S. E. and
G. E. Lawrence of Springwater near
Estacada on May 7, 1921.,

PORTLAND, March 22. Heavy
winds and snows have done more
damage to telephone wire3 and trails
than for many years, says Forest
Ranger Joe Gaham of the Clacka
mas lake district in the Oregon na

Graham mushed into Clackama
lake last week and found 3 feet of
snow, while the snow was five feet
deep on the summit of the Cascade
range. He found telephone wires
down and trails filled with fallen
trees, which will require a heavy
maintenance expense to clear. Gra
ham expects to move into his Clack
amas lake station about the middl
of April, but it will be June 1 at least
before the trails and roads will be
open and ready foruse.
