iOREGON DAIRYMEN
CONSIDERING FUN
Fl
' Members of the Oregon Dairy
tnen's league mar spend $500,000
or more under a plan of reorganiza
tion by Aaron Sapiro of Ban Fran
Cisco. The league hat at present nearly 2S00
members selling fresh milk In Portland
and to creameries, condentarles and
cheese factories within the 40 mile
tadlus.
Under the present system, the Ore
gon Dairymen' league acta aa an agent
for the distribution of milk.
The association seta the price at which
milk shall be sold to the Portland dis
tributors, to condensarles and others.
The new Dairymen's league. If or
ganised, will adopt the plan of the Ore
gon Fruitgrowers' association and the
Washington and Idaho wheat men.
' Twenty-ee-ven local meetings have
been held In various districts surround
ing Portland, at which the proposed plan
of reorganisation has been unanimously
Indorsed;
At a meeting held at Klllsboro Sat
urday, over 300 dairymen present
pledged themselves to support the or
ganisation under the new plan, and 12
signed contracts agreeing to market all
their milk through the new association
for a period of BV4 years.
Power Is given to the new Oregon
Dairymen's Cooperative league to own
and operate condensarles, butter mak
ing factories, creameries, cheese making
.plants and merchandise and advertise
milk and the by-products of milk.
In addressing the dairymen. Aaron
I Baplro threw some sidelights upon the
I Oregon cooperative system which is of
interest to Oregon farmers.
Saplro said that the Oregon coopera
1 tlve law drawn up by Hector McPher
I son, professor of economics of the Ore
; gon Agricultural college, Is the best oo-
i operative law In the United States, and
,that California Would probably adopt a
great 'many of the ejaufles contained In
the Oregon law. He also stated that
the Oregon Dairymen's league is the
only dairymen's association in the
country which has the real confidence
Of the consuming public.
The new cooperative league will be
controlled by a board of 25 directors,
and the main office of the association
will be In Portland. The association
will be non-profit and without capital
stock. Membership In the association
will be 110. Every member will have
one vote.
, The association Is given power to or
ganize a subsidiary Corporation to build
or buy or otherwise operate central dis
tributing plants in Fertland, and the
condehsaHes and creameries and other
plants at the point of production.
The contract offered the dairymen Is
provisional upon the signing up of not
less than 75 per cent of all present
members of the Oregon Dairymen's
league.
The plan has the general approval of
the officers of the league, who state
that they expect to have no difficulty
; whatsoever In reorganising under the
new plan.
It Is anticipated that the absorption
of surplus milk by the league in its
1 own plants will materially help to in
' crease the price to the producer without
I putting an inoreased burden upon the
1 consumer.
Several meetings are scheduled dur
ing the coming week, at which Aaron
, Saplro. counsel In chief to the associa
tion, under its new marketing plan, will
be the chief Speaker.

Farm Record Books
Albany, March 13. Farmers of Linn
counly are using a great many of the
farm record books, which have been is
sued by the farm management demon
stration' department of the Oregon Agri
cultural college. The books are designed
to assist farmers In the business organi
zation of their individual farms. Nine
hundred farmers In the county are us
ing them at present and reporting en
thusiastically on their use, says R. V.
Ounn, farm management demonstrator.
"The records and accounts are serving
at least a threefold purpose," pointed
out Trofessor Qunn. "It gives each
man a record and tells him JUBt where
ha stands at the end of the year. It
Rites reliable Information for correct
filing of inr-rime tax returns. There are
many other advantages which are too
numerous to mention where the farm
management helps the farmer out."

TO IMPROVE JERSEYS
Son of Golden Glow's Chief Pur
chased to Begin Work With
Herds in Thf$ District.
The Pacific Livestock company la a
now organization which has Just been
completed with headquarters in Corval-
11s. W. K. Taylor, of Corvallls is presi
dent. - The aim of the organisation is to
spread the popular Jersey breading
blood of the Qolden Glow Chief strain
throughout the state and to areate a de
mand in the Bast for Oregon Jerseys.
The company began Its work by buy
ing what is considered the best living
son of Golden Glows Chief, who, be
sides his other good points, carries 75
per cent of the blood of Golden Glow's
Chief. His nma is Chief's Qolden Glow
of Ashford. Practically all of his life
his value has never been realised, al
though ha has produced Several good
daughters. He has more living registered
daughters than any other son of Golden
Glow's Chief, despite the fact that he la
only five years old.
Chief's Golden Glow of Ashford Is a
Son of Chief's Evening Glow with a rec
ord close to 600 pounds of fat as a ma
ture cow. She is considered one of the
beet cows In the college herd. Chiefs
Evening Glow has three full sisters in
the. Register of Merit, one being Old
Man's Darling with 117 pounds of fat
as a 6-year-Old.
Tha bull is a half brother to the
world's record cow. Viva La France,
owned by Ploiard brothers at Marlon,
and carries 100 per cent the same blood
as Old Man's Darling 2, whose record of
987 pounds of fat made her the world's
record Jersey for the senior 4-year-old
class. She also won grand champion
ship at the Oregon State fair this year.
This bull Is reputed to be the best
looking and most typical- of any of the
sons of Golden Glow's Chief.
The plan of the organisation Is not
only to use him on their own herds, but
to offer him for service to the best stock
in the state, and so spread the popular
ity and the demand for Qolden Olow
Chief blood.

GROWER'S
SSOOATION
MOTES
Roseburg, March 1J- The Roseburg
unit of the Oregon Growers" association
was organized in this city with an at- ',
tendance of about 75 prominent frul
growers at the City hall. The state of
ficers, headed by C. I. Lewis, were pres
ent The new unit will cooperate with
the state organisation and through which
all the business will be transacted from
Roseburg. The committee chosen was:
R. A. Busenbark of Melrose, Arthur
Marsh Of lok!ng Glass and R. W.
Hinkley of Garden Valley. The growers
were given many points of vital interest
by Mr. Lewis regarding growing and
the handling of fruit until It la packed
for shipment
At Myrtle Creek a similar organisa
tion was formed with Remich Kate.
Sam Moore and E. Balrd as the commit
tee In 'charge. Riddle was organized the
previous day.
Visit Market Personally
A personal visit to the marketvwhich
the shipper patronizes will more than
repay expenses, for points which seem
trivial to him are often very important
to dealers, and the producer should get
the proper market perspective. Such a
visit enables the grower to get Into
personal touch with the distributors, to
select a reliable representative, to learn
the difficulties under which the car-lot
receiver labors, and to appreciate the
problems with which he is constantly
confronted.

FINEST DANISH BUTTER
SOON TO BE SOLD HERE
TO. BRING PRICES DOWN
A recent issue of the Market Reporter
published by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, states that several
thousand casks of Danish butter have
been shipped to this country In recent
weeks and that more of this butter is
on the way. This butter la described as
being a strictly high class article.
EXCEW.EXT BUTTER
At present the butter market in this
country is the highest of any country,
by quotations per pound which natur
ally starts butter moving In this direc
tion and In addition the exchange rates
favor shipping butter to this country.
The shipping board has put on passen
ger cargo steamers fitted with refrig
eration systems so that one will reach
New York from the east coast of South
America once in 10 days. Argentina Is
reported to have lots of good butter for
export.
This Is interpreted by some as a
warning to the producer of butter fat in
America that he should be prepared to
receive a lower price for his product.
The Danish farmer especially can sell

under our price because he has a lower
cost of production. His cows produce
about 8000 pounds of milk m year and
ours about one half that much. He pro
duces milk and cream from which high
elasa butter can be made. Our farmers
produce a grade of cream from which
only relatively poor butter can be made
because the averags creamery operator
will not refuse to take the poor cream.
PKICE8 to saor
It we compete successfully with the
Danes we must cull out the poor cows
and quit buying poor cream. The eream
eryman and the farmer are Jointly re
sponsible for meeting the foreign com
petition of low priced butter of excellent
quality. It Is within their power to meet
this competition by the firmer bring
ing about a lower cost of production and
by the manufacturer refusing to at
tempt to manufacture butter from poof
cream.
KEEP CALF FAILS CLEAX
The farmer who uses the swill pail
for feeding calves oi who hangs the pall
on a post between feedings - without
washing it will soon be looking for a
cure for calf scours. The dirty calf pail
Is one of the chief causes of scours.
WHh warm weather soon coming on
extra precautions must be taken In car
ing for the calf palls. The- same aa the
milk buckets after each milking the calf
pall should be Washed thoroughly after
each feeding and sterilised either with
-steam, or scalding water. If the palls
are so handled and then inverted in a
clean protected place until time to use
them again this factor as a cause of
Bcours will be eliminated.
