Need, Statement of Speaker.
Jersey breeders all over the state
gathered together this week to celebrate
the victory of Vive La France and do
honor to her breeder and owner, Ovid
Pickard.
President Munn of the A. J. C.
rt the last moment telegraphed his in
ability to be present, but la spite of
this1 the enthusiasm and success of the
meeting- wan-not dampened, but rather
led to an increased ardor on .the part
. of those breeders who were present.
Perhaps the most Important result of
this Jubilee was the bringing tog-ether
of a large number of Washington Jer
sey breeders, who came down from the
northern state and rot really acquainted
with the Oregon Jersey. This means a
better understanding- and an enlarging
of the market for the wonderful Jersey
strains which are being produced in our
state. Most Important of all was .the
attendance of i ft. Barton of Chilli
wack, B. C, president of the Canadian
Jersey Cattle club, who publicly stated
that he was in the market on behalf of
himself and other Canadian breeders, to
buy Oregon Jersey bulls and cows.
VISIT WEST FARM , " '
. The. jubilee opened with a trip over
the highway for the benefit of the vis
itors. On Tuesday afternoon a party
of about BO inspected Harry West's farm
at Scappoose. Tuesday1 evening about
120 breeders (among whom were some
of the Holstein men. like Jake Luscher,
W. K. Newell and Jim Pomeroy) gath
ered for dinner at the Portland Cham-
fber of Commerce honoring Ovid Pick
ard, the ownerof Vive La France. Wil
liam Ladd, owner of the Iron Mine
farm, and himself the father of the
Jersey breed as It; stands today in Ore
gon, was the principal speaker of the
evening. Mr. Ladd outlined the history
of the Jersey in Oregon. He told the
story of how W. V. Myer of Ashland
brought the first Jersey into Oregon in
1873, continuing with the importation
of the Ladd Jerseys from the island in
1882,' the original Golden Glow's Chief,
the St. Francis Jerseys, and finally
brought us down to the day of Vive La
France. He paid the highest tribute to
Kd Cary and W. O. Morrow, to J. B.
Stump and Ovid Pickard, and to N. H.
Smith of Oregon City, and many other
.farmer breeders, putting himself, as it
were, outside the pale, because breeding
with him was not his life business.
GOOD RECORDS MADE
' Mr. Ladd said that whereas there
were only six members of the A. J. -C. C.
in Washington, and only 10 In Califor
nia, there were 16 In Oregon. Ed Cary
holds 11 KOld A. J. C. C. medals, Clif
ford Reed four, the Ladd farm four,
. J. IX Stump three; N. H. SmithT the
O. A. C. Van Kleek, one each; or a
total of 29 A- J. C. C gold medals In

Oregon was in the comparison of the
four daughters of the greatest Eastern
and Western bulls. Four daughters of
Golden Glow's Chief have averaged
S.623 of B. F. ; four daughters of St.
Mawes have averaged 6.068 B. F.7 while
four daughters of Hood Farm Torono
have averaged only 5.25.
FCBLICITT 18 SEEPED (
Mr, Ladd then took eight daughters of
these great chieftains. This changed
the showing of SU Mawes, Ed Cary's
great bull, and put his daughters first
on the list, with an average of 6.04 B.
F. ; eight daughters of Golden Glow's
Chief, with 5.946 B. F., and Hood Farm
Torono's eight daughters w;ith only 5.34
B. F. The figures of Pogls the 89th of
Hood farm are not available, but it is
known that they do not exceed either
Golden Glow's Chief or St. Mawes, our
own Oregon strain.
Ed Cary was called upon to make a
little talk. He is a director of the
American Jersey Cattle club, and says
that Oregon is not getting the recogni
tion that is her due.
"We are too tight on advertising,"
said Mr. Cary- "We don't tell the peo
ple what we have."
Ira Whitney of the Waiklkl farm at
Spokane said the same thing.
LESLIE BCTLEfi TALKS
Leslie Butler of Hood River, who has
started to put Hood River valley on the
map as a Jersey center, and Harry
West ot Scappoose all paid tribute to
the Jersey. Mr. West admitted that his
100 acres of cleared land on which he
has lived for 33 years, and every dollar
which he has made, has come out of
the Oregon Jersey.
W. K. Newell, a Holstein breeder, said
a few words and told a story of a young
man who lived on a farm in Washing
ton county who came to "make his for
tune In Portland." The thought flashed
through the minds of. many, why come
to Portland t make a fortune if you
know anything about breeding Jerseys?
And we say- "Amen" to this.

Get Fuel From Logs
Look forward to. next .winter's supply
of wood. In many parts of the country
the old time custom . still prevails of
burning valuable cordwood in log- heaps
following the cleaning up of new land.
Thousands of farmers must provide
themselves with wood for next winter.
If the farmer can not use the wood
himself some neighbor, schoolhouse, or
church will likely be glad to get it
when cold weather comes. Much wood
apparently useless at this time of the
year, will be wasted unless forethought
is exercised. Postpone burning your
waste wWd.
- When dairy utensils are sterilised by
steam, all bacteria and disease germs
which may be upon them are destroyed,
and therefore milk and cream when
placed in these utensils will keep sweet
much longer.
Method of Finding 'Runways and
Setting Are Explained in
Detail by Experts.
By Professor C. T. Mcintosh, O. A. C.
Oregon moles are best controlled by
trapping. The trap best suited to
catching moles is one .with gripping jaws
that are set astride the mole's runway.
The method of finding the best place
to set the trap and setting it as rec
ommended by George F. Sykes, zoologist
at the college, and practiced with great
success by boys in clubi work mole proj
ects and men in fanqi bureau mole cam
paigns, is as follows :
The runways are located by a broken
ridge running through the cultivated
lands, generally a garden or field near
the farm buildings and fences, or by
low mounds thrown up generally in the
lawns or harder ground. The ridges
are the mole's hunting trails and may
or may not be traversed after they are
first seen. The mounds represent deeper
and more permanent runways, nesting1
and storage burrows, and the like, and
are more ykely to be; used frequently.
Hence the best place to set the traps Is
near a freshly-built mound. This mound
can be told from the gopher mound by
its structure, which comes from the mole
habit of crowding the dirt out instead
of carrying it out as the gopher does.
METHOD OK SETTI3TG EXPLAINED
A little way from the mound the
junction of two or more trails can be
found by judicious digging or prodding.
The best place to set the trap is where
the trail Is single and relatively straight.
Enough, dirt is thrown out to expose the
runway to the bottom. Fresh, fine earth
is then butlt up to about the top of
the runway. The trap is opened and
fastened with the safety, and set so that
each pair of jaws straddles the run
way, being pushed into the loose earth
until the bottom of the Jaws rest upon
the bottom of the runway. This will
bring the crotch of the trap about even
with the top of tie runway, and also
place the free end of the trigger pan in
contact with the little heap of earth
built up by the Wrapper. More dirt is
then put into the hole.
BAIT NOT NECESSARY
No bait is needed. The trap will be
sprung by the mole whenever he comes
along the runway and tries to dig His
way through the" piled-in earth. His
course takes him straight through be
tween one pair of jaws, and as he
crowds through further his back raises
the earth against the trigger pan, which
springs the trap at the time his body
is still between the jaws.
If the mole doesn't come through the
first night he may the next day or the
next night. After a day or two if noth
ing happens it would be well to look for
new Indications of mole activity, for he
has probably changed locations.

College Is Making
Tests on Potatoes
Best for Oregon
Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis,
May 17. The United States department
of agriculture has entered into a co
operative agreement with the Oregon
Agricultural 'college experiment station
for the purpose of determining, growing,
and distributing the best varieties of
potatoes free "from disease and suitable
to-Oregon conditions. Professor G. R.
Hyslop, head of, the farm crops depart
ment,' will have charge of the work.
This action, according to , Professor
Hyslop. has. grown out of need felt
by . farmers ' throughout ; the state for
good seed potatoes, . free from disease.
Good potatoes, he points out, are al
ways demanded 'on the market for hu
man consumption and are disposed of
in this way and the farmer often finds
himself without seed potatoes of desired
quality when the next planting season
arrives.': -.. -. ?
The work will be carried out by grow
ing different varieties in comparative
tests. Considerable cultural - work will
be done to determine the best methods
or cultivation, slie and . time to . plant.
and the best manner of planting. It is
not the aim of the station to go into the
Beed producing business, but merely to
give to those farmers who desire it a
start in the production of good seed
potatoes, that their yield and financial
returns per acre may be increased.
Qregori Jersey Sale
Is of Big Interest
. The sale of 60 Jersey cows owned by
Clifford Reed, president of the North
western Trust company of Portland,
which will be held in Sacramento, Cal.,
on May 27, under the auspices of tne
California Sales & Guaranty Pedigree
company, is attracting- wide attention.
A particular feature of the - sale is
the offering of Goldie's Nehalem Beau
ty, the highest record Jersey cow ever
sold at a public auction. The cow has
a record of producing 750.61 'pounds of
h-utterfat as a junior 3-year-old, which
was a world's record when made. ; As
a senior 4-year-old, the animal gave
904.91 pounds butterf at. The combined
production of the two years also, set a
world's record. ,
The offerings include her dam, two
sisters, a daughter, two sons. 14 grand
daughters and six grandson.
Full Information on the above appears
on the Agricultural page of The Journal
today.
Wool buyers do not like fleeces loaded
with hayseed, chaff and stems. They
want wool, not sticks and trash. Pro

feed racks so that the sheep must reach
up for the hay ; and shake the leaves

SPRAYING NEEDED TO
KILL SLUGS ON PEAR,
: TREES, SAYS EXPERT
Pest Usually Appears on Leave:
as Greenish-Brown Laryas;
Few Half .Inch Long.
"Two years ago," says a prominent or
chardist of Salem, "my pear treos wr
attacked by-slugs. I did nat rcalU,
that the pest, would do serious injury
The result was that my trees wore com
pletely defoliated and so devitalised th
they have not produced a crop since
This injury-and loss' could easily hav
been avoided had I only, known the na
ture of the pest at the time." -
This grower is now on the lookout ft

The pear and cherry slugs appear o .

This peet , is easily controlled by tl

Dust sprays ; are ideal, although t! :
liquid sprays are very effective. For

Meets the Farmer 9s Needo
To every farmer, the motor truck means more time s for" productive farm
work. The time spent in trips W town with, farm products or for supplies
is cut to only a fraction of that needed with horses. Both horses and men
are kept on the (arm the maximum part of the time. (
Denby Trucks have proven very successful in, farm work because they were designed ,
to-meet the hardest conditions of sjervice. They have the extra power needed to work
over soft roads and in the fields, and are able to pull through sandy and muddy roads .
that are impassable to many trucks. ; - '
Denby trucks are built in sizes ranging from one to five tons, so as to meet the
needs of every farm, from the light, quick market work to the heavy loads of the grain
hauling, or of rural express service. They can be equipped with standing bodies, or
