TIIE 3I0RXIXG OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1913. 11 DAIRY COUKCILVVILL BEGDME PERMANENT Organization to Include All . Branches of Industry. - DISCUSSIONS RANGE WIDE Prices of Various Kinds of Food Compared, Also Value for Fat tening and Milk Production. A committee of the Oregon Dairy Council reported yesterday that there has been a decrease of 62,000 dairy cows in Oregon since January 1. 1918. This report is based upon a census of mu cows September 1. At the meeting of the council It was decided that It shall become permanent. A committee on framing by-laws and constitution was appointed, with struction to report plans for permanent formation, including producers, distrib utors and manufacturers. .Professor O. I:Center. of Corvallis, chairman of the council, presided. Dis cussions covered a wide range from feed to Ice cream. A response to a telegram sent to Herbert Hoover, National Food Admin istrator, at th previous meeting, was read. F. U Shall, of the Globe Milling Com pany advised the members that with the present cost of barley about $54 Per ton In carload lots, for rolled bar ley. It Is the cheapest feed the dairy man can obtain. California has a sur , plus of about 200.000 tons, Mr. Shull said, and eince the Government Is not buying barley to any extent, unless it la absorbed for feed there is no promise that it will not be carried over to the next crop season. Barter Declare fBdesirable. William Schulmerich. of Hilleboro. called attention of the council to the tindeslrabillty of barley for feeding dairy cows, as being deficient In pro tein and high in carbohydrates. He aid It was desirable as food for hogs or for fattening cattle, but not to pro duce milk. Necessity for some concentrated food high In protein brought the informa tion that cotton seed meael can be had from the Imperial Valley at the present time at about $68 a ton laid down in Oregon, but when that supply Is ex hausted further supply would have to come from Texas or Oklahoma at higher cost. The committee on feeding reported that there Is not enough millfeed to go around. Therefore, th farmers and dairymen will be obliged to create a balanced ration with other products. Cora m Tom In Carload Lota. Corn can be had at present at $59 a ton in bulk shipments In carload lots, or at $84 a ton. sacked. It was recom mended as a better feed than barley at a price of $4 higher per ton. ' It was shown that cottonseed meal at $70 a ton Is equivalent to 11 cents a pound for protein, whereas alfalfa hay is the next best for the dairymen, with the present price of $28 a ton. making the protein It contains average 14 cents a pound, whereas at $54 a ton for barley the pro tein costs 30 cents per pound. Professor Brandt, of the Oregon Agri cultural College, declared that it is an exceptional emergency that confronts the farmers of the Willamette Valley. Due to causes over which the farmers had no control, the tintta-a vetch crop was lost. This Is the -rop that is relied upon to furnish the protein product for dairy cows. The value of alfalfa as the most available substitute was strongly advocated. Itself on the same plane with other essential Industries to secure deferred classification for essential farm help. Just as do men operating machine shops, Assuring the dairymen that he regard ed their product as necessary for sup I plying the Army. Mr. Evans thought sucn an arrangement ought to oe possi ble. J. E. Dunn, chairman of the finance committee, tendered his resignation, urging the pressur of other duties as the reason. The resignation was laid on the table nntll the next meeting. R. L. Sabin, Dr. Mack and Walter Asher were named as a committee to confer with the Oregon State Council of Defense regarding the recent re qu st for closing of all stores that serve ice cream, milk and dairy products at 6 P. M. and on Sundays. Bis; CoBsamptlosi After 6 P. M. It was reported that of ths total consumption of dairy products 8 per cent is sold before noon, 22 per cent between noon and 6 P. M., and 60 per cent after 6 P. M. In consideration of the large loss to producers who depend upon this market for their milk, the council deemed it a matter that called for their presentation of facts to the members of the Council of Defense. On motion of J. D. MIckle. a com mittee was appointed to appear before the City Commissioners of Portland next Wednesday, when the question of ordering the use of oleomargarine in city institutions In lieu of butter is. to be considered. Mr. MIckle was made the chairman of the committee, with Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar and E. C. Cal loway to appear with him. ' Secretary Calloway was Instructed to advise the Oregon Butter and Cheesemakera' Association of the de sire of the dairy council to co-operate with that body in Its annual conven tion, soon to meet. In any manner that will be of assistance. SENECA FOOTS IS ACCUSED tOCAI ATTORXEY IS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT. Help Uncle Sam's War Industries RENT A ROOM TO A WAR WORKER! We Give S. fif H.

Portland's Greatest Showing Women's Coats '. Greenberg Complains That He Was Attacked and Beaten by Lawyer In Downtown Hotel. Draft Boards Criticised. J. W. Brewer. Federal farm help spe cialist, reported that notwithstanding orders of the department, the draft boards are still sending needed men from the farms to service In the Army. "District boards cannot oversee all the work of the local boards and some ef them are doing rotten work," as verted William Schulmerich. adviser of local draft boards for the Portland dis trict, appointed by the Department of Agriculture to work with the boards to secure deferred classification for es sential labor needed In producing food products needed for the prosecution of the war. 'There la one case that came to my attention a few ays a?o." said he, ,-in which a young man w ordered to re port for duty who is the son of a w idowed mother, having two daughters with her. The young man was farm ing 240 acres, and among other things turned off 110 head of fat hogs last year, raised on the farm. He was do ing work of greater value In produc ing food fr soldiers than he could pos sibly do as a soldier in the trenches, yet he is being taken away from the farm." District Attorney Gives Advice. District Attorney Evans, who hap pened to be in the room, told the Coun cil that he was satisfied the boards are exercising care in most instances. He advised that the industry should place Fenaca Pouts, Portland attorney, was under Investigation yesterday by the Multnomah County grand Jury for an alleged assault on N. Greenberg, of the iru dikics Duipping coira, at a downtown hotel. According to the story told by Green berg, he was attacked by Mr. Fouts as he reclined on a bed. After Fouts had assaulted him, he alleges, the attorney then called a policeman and ordered his arrest. "The policeman took me to the police station and then let me go," Greenberg told the District Attorney. "The police man told me to say nothing about the affair because Fouts, he said, was a prominent attorney and had a lot of Influence. He said Fouts might make it hard for me." Greenberg told the District Attorney and the grand Jury, that some woman was making a disturbance at the hotel when he opened his door and asked her to be quiet. A few minutes later, he said, Fouts and some other man, un known to him, came into his room. He said Fouts demanded his registration card and when he declined to produce it until Fouts showed his authority. Fouts, he asserted, began beating him. After Fouts had discolored both optics, he says, he called' in a policeman to have him arrested. The District Attorney's office thus far has been unable to learn the name of the policeman as no record of the supposed arrest was made at police headquarters. They are also anxious to obtain the Identity of the woman, who. according to Greenberg's version of the affair, apparently was the cause of the assault. Several witnesses were summoned before the grand jury yesterday but the nature of their evidence would not be disclosed.
