WESTLANB ON WAY
Protest of Portland Chamber of Com-
merce Apparently Unheeded.
The steamer Westland, formerly the
Xandaas, passed out to sea at 2 :50
o'clock Friday afternoon en route to
Tuget sound. No word came from Wash
. f ington sufficient to stop her on the pro
, test of the Chamber of Commerce.
. W. D. B. Dodson, executive secretary.
'this morning said it would be made the
subject of further protests, holding that
It is absolute folly to send her to the
..sound for her trial tests when they
could be held here, on the ground that
it is unnecessary loss of time. The
chamber has been Informed reliably that
it will cause a delay of seven days. The
. Westland Is to return to Portland to
finish loading. When she left she had
about 2000 tons of flour aboard.
J The schooner Forest Home has not
arrived as yet but is expected not later
than Sunday or Monday morning.

HENEY EXPOSES GRIP
PACKERS HAVE ON THE
NATION'S FOOD SUPPLY
Washington. Dec 22. fl. V. R.1 The
tentacles or the packers' combine of
Chicago extending into the food supply
of the nation were still further revealed
in the president's food investigation be
fore the federal trade commission today.
unaer ine questioning of Francis J.
Heney, F. W. Croll, treasurer of Armour
A Co., admitted the vast interest that
concern nas m other food -companies.
tie Darea tne concealment of records
that permitted this condition and
showed that in a directorate of eleven.
rive are dummies through which J.
Ogden Armour with his sixth, deciding
vote can do anything he wishes. The
properties are ra the names of dummies,
it developed, leading Heney to observe:
So there is no way in which a gov
ernment accountant or other Interested
person, can secure actual facts as to
what companies Armour controls!" '
Croll admitted this was so.
The extent to which the combined
packing Interests were Interested in the
Chicago Stockyards company and the
Terminal Railway company, waa shown
today by the revelation that in the di
rectorate of the latter are Henry Veeder
of Swift A Co. : Arthur 'Meeker of
Armour A Co. ; J. A. Spoor, treasurer
estate of Nelson Morris., and S. H.
Strawn. attorney, who acts at times for
all the packers.
The price the city of St. Paul paid to
induce Armour A Co. to build a vlant
there and how that money was split
among Armour, Morris and Swift, waa
among the startling revelations today.
The story came out slowly as F. W.
Croll, -J. Ogden Armour's confidential
man. Is a reluctant witness with a short
memory and apparently limited knowl-
edg of his employers' activities. .. How
ever, r the .commission has documentary
evidence showing that the city of St.
Paul felt Itself to be in the grasp of
the powerful meat packers, Morris and
Swift. The city fathers concluded that
brisk competition from an outside com
pany would help matters and reduce
prices somewhat, so the Armour inter
ests were invited to come to the city. A
bonus jat $500,000 and a valuable site
for the new plant were; offered as an
inducement." i-;
After a fitting show of coyness Ar
mour accepted the proposal and built a
plant in St. Paul.- But. according to the
evidence In possession of the trade com
mission. Armour divided the cash bonus
with Swift and Morris, - the. packing

The poultryrnaa who can make his
flock of 1000 pullets average more than
144 eggs per bird per year has shown
skin which should be rewarded with a
salary of more than $75 per month.
I think the contestants sre to be con
gratulated that not a single Leghorn
pen failed to produce some eggs in No
vember, and only 7.S per cent of all the
Leghorns failed to lay. It was to be ex
pected that a higher percentage of the
heavy weight birds should have failed to
reach 'laying maturity. In view of the
fact that we had a generally late spring
last year. On the opening day of the
contest not quite 11 Vs per cent of the
birds laid. On their red Utter day In
November over 46 per cent of the birds
laid and I think the average product! on
of S0.4 per cent, considering our large
number of varieties and the shipping

.-. - mmA AAitraS. NO. Of EggS
By Helen Dow Whltaker
Pullman. Wash.. Dec 22. The results
of the first month of the second All
North west egg laying contest are told In
the accompanying honor rolls.
From what I have available, I believe
commercial egg producers must figure
approximately as follows for a flock of
1000 pullets : First, it will cost to raise
a pullet to laying stge. counting la up
keep of the breeding flock, hatching
eggs, brooding, feed, labor, lossss, de
predation and Interest on equipment,
about 11.20 over and above what she can
be sold for In market at the end of the
puHrt year. Therefore, to pay for her
raising, a pullet must return 2L20 a
year, or 10 cents per month. If one can
care for 1000 layers at a salary of $75
a monl.i. each bird must be charged with
7tt cents a month for labor. I believe 2H
cents a bird per month will just about
take care of overhead In the laying bouse
that la, egg cases, sprays, repairs, in
terest on Investment, etc Add to above
charges 25 cents a bird per month for
feed and the total is 45 cents per month
per bird. If, then, a- bird averages to

0. A. C. Reunion at
Camp Is Called On
Not content with the glory ef leading 4
all the other . states In the matter of -voluntary
enlistments, the grand - old
state of Oregon has again forged to"
the front, this Urns with the busiest lit
tle war worker - this country haa yet
produced.,
"Brewster's Oregon GhT is the name
she now answers to, though for quite
awhile she waa modestly camouflaged
"Number ill." Name or number, tt
made no difference to Oregon Girt. Her
epecialty .was the speeding up of erg
production and the mark she haa set for
other busy White Leghorns to shoot at
will take a lot of beating. Three hun
dred and four eggs Is the record hung
tip by Oregon Olrl In her pullet year.
and It must be distinctly undarstopd
that by "pullet year" Is meant the first
calendar year period of 285 days elaps
ing after the laying ef her first egg.
Just for good measure, Oregon Girt
laid IS more eggs before laying off for
the season and getting' ner new plum- -.
age, making a total of 217 eggs laid m
282 days, or 17 daya more than a calen
dar year.
She Was Bred to lay
Beyond question. Brewster's Oregon .
Girt Is by far the most valuable hen In
the world. And this value Is not oc
casioned by the number ef egge produced
but Is mainly due to the fact that m
this hen performance is Joined with
pedigree. Oregon Girl waa bred to do
exactly what she haa done. She la the
culmination of many years' effort by
one of the great poultry breeders of the
coon try, D. Tanered of Kent, Waah.
Only ones haa her record for the year
been surpassed. . Some two or - three
years age a Delaware hen laid 218
eggs In 865 daya This Delaware hen
was a freak outcrop with, so far aa Is
known, no phenomenally high laying
anoeetora Her performance waa more .
or lees accidental and her progeny can
not be depended on to make great lay- -
tng records. But Brewster's Oregon Oirl .
was, bred to break laying records, and. .
having run true to the form expected ot
her, her descendants may with con
fidence be relied upon to equal or rur
pass her own performance.
Conies Press ProsaetBg ftteek .
Consider this pedigree. Her darn, 1
grandam and great-grandam on the ma
ternal side three successive maternal
descents laid from 242 to 272 eggs la -their
pullet year, and were all ot them .
sired by the so no of hens with great
egg record a
On her sire's slds her pedigree Is even
finer. His dam laid 222 eggs In her
pullet year and was bred from a pen of
hens all with records above 200 eggs.
His sire's dam (Oregon Girl's great
grandam) had a record of 282 eggs and
was bred out of a hen with record of
260 eggs which was In turn bred from ,
a pen of "200 eggers."Hls grandsire's
dam had a record of 228 eggs, and other .
great producing ancestors of his. still
farther back, have records of 244,-212. -
248. 281 and 2S eggs respectively.:' AU
the records quoted here are for a cal
endar year only, the first 265 day period
ronowing (and Including) the date on
which the first egg waa laid. A pedi
gree of performance, this ; the right kind
of blue blood.
Itet a Show Sperlmea
Oregon Girl Is a thoroughbred single '
comb White Leghorn of a grand, up-'
standing utility type, but no shew spe
cimen and not an especially beautiful
fowl unless "handsome is so handsome
doea" ghe Is unusually large for her
breed, weighing four pounds. ounces at
the end of her isylng season, which
doubtless helps to give her the stamina
needed to keep up under the strain of
her tremendous egg production. She
is also unusually precocious as a layer,'
having begun to lay at the extremely
early age of four months and 20 days.
And to round off her list of good qual
ities and clinch her title as queen of all
utility fowls, her eggs, pure white la
color, are of first class market sine,
weighing 24 ounces to the dosen in her
pullet year. In addition to the Itemised .
full year record published herewith,
Frank Brewster, her owner, has fur
nished the following data concerning .
her:

I cheers for Brewster's Oregon Girl, and
here's hoping she may long be spared to
speed np the poultry business during
war time and to animate all -the other
