Orpheum matinee todsy. 15-2S-S0-Ad.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 27. (Special.)
One of the great features of
every state fair Is the display of
livestock. The outstanding feature
of this 60th show Is the great num
ber and exceedingly fine quality of
the dairy stock. To accommodate all
of the exhibitors two tents had to be
utilized, the three barns lacking In
space by more than 50 head.
I undertook this morning to go
through the barns and tents where
the cattle are stabled and make a
mention of the various exhibits and
give the names of the exhibitors, but
I had not gone far before I found
it an almost Impossible task, abso
lutely so to get my dispatches on the
wires In due season.
But I made a stagger at it. and be
gan with barn No. 1. - Going into that
building from the west. I found a big
sign about Tillamook cattle over the
entrance, but later found that the
Tillamook' entries were more or less
scattered, and then there was no
person who could give me the de
tails I wished, for Just then many
of the''exhibitors were out In the
judges' pavilion, where the prizes
were being awarded.
86 Cattle In Barn. ,
In this barn are 86 head of dairy
stock, the three leading classes being
about equal Jerseys. Holsteins and
Guernseys. I suppose some will say
It would be better for me to give the
exact number of each breetf in each
barn, for the Jersey, the Holstein and
the Guernsey breeders are clannish,
each thinking his favorite breed Is the
leader. Now I am not prejudiced
against or partial to either of the
breeds mentioned-and do not act with
Intended unfairness. I try to do the
best I can for each breed with th
facts I can collate. But let me repeat
that in barn No. 1. and in barns Nob.
2 and 3, and in the tents, the three
breeds are pretty equally divided.
Exhibitors Are Named.
D. H. Looney of Jefferson, Or., has
nine head of Guernseys; R. B. Magru
der of Clatskanle, three head of
Guernseys. (In publishing the name
of Mr. Magruder, I hope the typo will
not make the name McCarthy, McDuff
or Morlarty. nor yet Meander. I make
this request because when I visited
the Magruder place a couple of months
ago and wrote about It the article- ap
peared with his name terribly butch
ered.) The Highland Grove farm of F. R.
Bears. Tillamook, has among his Jer
seys ths celebrated Lady Ormsby of
Rock, a cow with a record close up
to the world champion, and his cow
Chimacum Wayne Monarch Cornuco
pia gave 23,296 pounds of milk in 105
days, which waa productive of 822.8
pounds of butter fat. She was, so the
owner told me, the first Oregon Hol
stein to break a world's record.
I can only mention briefly the en
tries of L. A. McCormack of Tina
mook, Howard Edwards of Lee, Or.:
O. H. Graves of Bay City, Howard
Edwards of Tillamook city, H. A.
Brant of the same place, and also
Herman Maso. They shipped In a
mixed car and I did not get their en
tries properly tabulated. I. however,
give their names to show what a wide
Interest the Tillamook people have In
high-grade dairy stock. . There are
other Tillamook entries, but I cannot
give them at present.
Fans Sends Carload.
From the- great River Banks farm
In Josephine county, on the Apple
gate river, near Grants Pass, the
msnager, Clyde E. Nlles, has a car
load, ten head of Guernseys of native
birth and three of the same breed Im
ported. Mr. Nlles also has some en
tries in the swine classes.
I will not undertake to classify
barn 2. It la a mixed lot stabled
there, consisting of 182 head of
Guernseys. Holsteins and Jerseys. I
could not get In touch with anybody
to post me there.
In barn 31 was attracted first by
the veteran Holstein breeder, William
Bishop, of Chimacum, Wash. He has
15 head,- among them the great sire,
Greenbanks Sir Ormsby Hengerveld,
and his great cow, Hazelwood Peeterjl
Jewell. I often wonder If Mr. Bishop
knows where he lives, and If he does,
I wonder If he and his Holstein pets
ever get home. I guess he never
misses a tsrir of any moment in the
west.' And rest assured he gets his
hsre of blue, ribbons.
There is a carload of mixed dairy
stock from Coos county, but I will
not stop to discuss it further than to
give the names of the exhibitors and
their entries. John Whobrey of
Broadbent has three head of milking
shorthorns; Ralph Bun of Argo, two
head of Jerseys; John Carl of Argo.
two Jerseys; A. O. K. Jcliand. North
Bend, one Jersey: L. J. Simpson,
North Bend, four Holsteins, and the
county agricultural station, one
Guernsey. All of the Coos exhibits
are properly placarded, and on a huge
banner is the following sentiment in
large letters: "Coos County The
United States' Garden of Eden."
College Exhibit Fine.
One of the overflow tents is occu
pied with the wonderful exhibit from
the Oregon Agricultural college. I
suppose this is the finest and largest
exhibit the fair has tver had from
one exhibitor. I hope every reader
of this article who comes to the fair
will visit this tent and carefully sur
vey the cattle, one by one. You will
find persons there to tell you ail
about them. No matter whether you
love best the Jerseys, the Holsteins,
the Ayrshires (or even the Bennett
dual purpose cow, that gives half
milk and half beer), you will find,
each getting an equal show. . If you
will look these exhibits over care
fully you will. I know, vote more
cheerfully hereafter for Oregon Agri
cultural college appropriations. There
are eight Holsteins, six Jerseys, seven
Guernseys and ten Ayrshires.
In another tent there are 20 head
of Red Polls belonging to L. C. Cogs
well, and six head ' belonging to a
person unknown to me, for there were
no placards to give the name of the
exhibitor and no person- to tell it
to me.
v Display Is Praised.
So altogether we have here in the
cow barns and tents about 300 head
of as choice dairy cattle as was ever
before assembled at one time in the
west. Indeed, It Is such a display as
was probably never equaled In this
country save at Chicago, and maybe
not there. And let me remind the
reader that we are making very rapid
progress in increasing the number
of our dairy cattle and in raising
the standard of quality. Even the
beginner in the Industry these times
will not start with a bunch of scrubs.
He will have at least an animal or
two of high breeding. And as he
goes higher -he soon finds' that the
cream of the dairy business is on
the very heights of quality the
higher the better.
What an Interesting study It would
make, if we had the data- (which we
have not) to compare our dairy cattle
today with the state's dairy cattle at
the first Oregon state fair and bring
the record down by decades to 1921!
To make a comparison of those 60
fairs would bring us down from the
tallow-candle to electricity, from the
tin horn and speaking tube to the
telephone, from the ox cart to the
automobile. But not one of those
features of progress means as much
to Oregon as the advance made from
the- Mexican longhorn cows, that pre
vailed 'here 60 years ago, and our
wonderful milk stock of today. And
our annual fairs have had much to
do with the advancement, and will
have still more to do from now on.
Dairy Future Predicted.
Oregon is destined to be the great
dairy state of the union. You can
not advance any successful argument
to deny It. The answer is written in
our soil and our climate, in our
owners and breeders, and those who
will not admit it do not understand
the matter. Yes. written upon the
star of destiny is the motto: "Oregon,
the great Dairy State of the Union."
And a majority of the people living
In the state today will live to see my
words come true. We old-timers will
miss it, but we may get credit for
foreseeing it.
Of course, you have already read
what Mr. Pettlt has said about the
weather, the crowd, the races, etc. I
will only say that the first is Ideal,
the crowd Is, I judge the largest of
the Tuesday crowds of the 60 fairs
and the races, alas, I do not get to
see. But Starter McNair tells me
they will be more than usually well
contested, therefore more than usu
ally interesting.
