lO THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. P ORTLAND. SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1920. Multnomah County Jersey. Breeders Take. Successf ul and Instructive Trap JERSEY BREEDERS OBTAIN POINTERS ON JUBILEE TRIP By R. C. Stewart A fine crowd t enthusiastic dairy- men spread the gospel of better stock when they made a trip through the, eastern part of Multnomah coun ty on Wednesday of the past week. On this occasion the Jersey breeders of the county held a small jubilee of their own, which was a good deal on the order of a traveling picnic. The county agent, S. B. Hall, who is , also a dairyman with a nice herd of Holsteine, managed the trip in fine style. Those taking part were Jer- ' sey breeders of the county and the students of the agricultural classes of the Gresham and Hood River high schools. HERD 18 INSPECTED The first herd visited was that of Harry - gamiwls. -who lives on Elshty- second street, Portland. Samuels has a nice foundation herd, backed with both . production and type. The crowd was given an opportunity to get acquainted and spent some time in discussing the different animals, their --breeding and their chances for becoming great pro ducers. O. J. Brown's place on the Base Line road was the next visited. This herd Is headed by a 3 -year-old grandson of Chief Engineer. Buster's Engineer, a very - fine young animal promising to produce some very fine cows. This bunch of Jerseys showed their "nervous ness by demanding attention. They were turned out In an orchard pasture and were very insistent in their demands to be fondled and petted. ' PLEASURE 18 MUTUAL in laci, mis cnaraciensuc was noiea at all of the herds visited ; they seemed as glad to welcome their visitors as the visitors were glad to see them. Miss Nellie McKlnley is said to know Jersey pedigrees and families better than any other woman in Oregon. The half a dozen Jerseys she- personally takes care of are" evidence in them selves that she has made some good se lections tor a nera rounaation. Most ,of Miss McKlnJey's time is taken up with her work as grand secretary of the grand chapter of the Eastern Star grange, but she takes care not only of the Jerseys but some fine berry patches, and has in her young orchard Delicious, Winter Banana. Spitzenburg, Ortley and King Dayid apples and raises Rhode Island Reds on the side. Passing through Gresham the line of cars Was soon at the C H. .Johanson dairy farm. This was the largest herd visited during the day, and is a fine herd that Johanson has been, carefully selecting for several years. A "real" picnic lunch was served by the county breeders and a short busi- under discussion during the lunch hour was "Does it pay to use a milking ma chine?" Most everyone decided that a milking machine paid in certain cases, and that its usefulness varied according te circumstances. B. O. Altman, one of the oldest Jersey breeders of the county,, was the next to entertain the visitors. Altman has '-a fine uniform herd, and recently bought "Oxfords You'll Do Jr." from W. O. Mor row as his new ' herd header. This bull already has nine daughters in the Regis ter of Merit, and several others to soon go in. " J. 1m' Bowman, a merchant of Port land with a farm near Gresham, is new at the Jersey business, but is- making some wonderful selections for founda tion stock. He has less than a dosen, but among them are several grand MULTNOMAH BREEDERS JUBILEE ' P() j JRY PLAN IS Aw "f-, o 1 j r--r --1 f &, ' :s 'i ."juir-y v. , lit fm SfesejeA.-iWr'--V '''ill hswillllli'H WlimYi inminf,,TITTTKIWHI-ssWW M Some of the fine Jerseys viewed br the Multnomali county breeders on. tbeir Jubilee trip through I he county last Wednesday. . champions as well as gold medal win ners at the paiL The herdsman, Melville Hanna, .was assistant farmer at Washington State college for six years.

' TMs herd is made up most ly of grades,-as Wright is Just starting in the purebred business.- The Hood River and Gresham High school agricultural classes joined in and took part: in the jubilee. They then visited the county farm and other farms of interest.' On Thursday these two classes traveled on by truck and auto to Newberg, McMinnVllle, Woodburn and Salem. They are visiting some of the typical farms on the way and pick ing up the agricultural classes from each of these towns as they go through. Arriving in Cor vail is Friday upon, they spent the rest of the time till Saturday night in Corvallis, visiting at the Cor valli4 High school and the Oregon Agri cultural college. C. P. Moffett, in charge of the Gresham classes, gave some in teresting demonstrations of type, using some of the fine Jerseys as examples. Variety; of Fowl on Farm Required as Best Aid to the Hen The hen,! first and last, is the main de pendence for increasing the supply of white meat and eggs on a farm, but she requires the aid of turkeys, guineas, geese and ducks just as on a dairy farm the cow requires the aid of pigs, sheep and goats.1 The setting of the standard at 100 hens per farm is safe, but no such arbitrary standard can be set for the Other kinds of poultry, say the poultry specialists ; of the United States depart ment of agriculture. The small farm, with grain fields of neighboring farms in proximity to the barn and dooryard. would, perhaps, be better without turkeys. The farm through which no streams run and which has no large pond would perhaps be bet ter without ducks. But the circum scribed farm on which turkeys would be a disadvantage may be well supplied with streams and ponds so that ducks would be unusually profitable, and the farm that; has no streams and ponds may have large range fo turkeys. Each farm family will have to determine for itself what poultry can be profitably kept in addition to 100 hens, bearing in mind always that an adequate number should be kept of all the kinds for which free range can be found. Duck Farm Success Depends on Location And Arrangement Duck . farms are . usually located on light, sandy soil, generally on sloping land, where the droppings will leach freely into the soil, so that the land keeps sweet and clean. - The farm should have good shipping facilities to aid both In shipping products and buying sup plies. The arrangement of the build ings should be planned to " economise labor and to allow for future increase of the equipment. The incubator cellar should be convenient to the brooder house, the brooder house to the growing house and pens, and these buildings to the killing house. The pens in .the houses, the outside yards and the ar rangement of the buildings should be planned so that the ducks may be easily driven from house to house if desired. The feed room or house should be cen trally located. , Convenient watering arrangements are essential where large numbers of ducks are kept, as they require a large amount of drinking water. While ducks may be kept successfully under very intensive conditions, it is ' advisable to allow a moderate amount of yard space. Double yards, which may be rotated, and plant ed to quick growing crops, such as oats, wheat, and yye, are good for intensive duck farms. : It is advisable to have a : pond or stream for the breeding ducks, say poul try specialists of, the United States de partment of agriculture, as they usually give better fertility under these condi tions, although on some successful duck farms the ducks are .always kept on dry land. The young, green ducks on some farms which have a pond are not allowed to go into the water except to bathe and clean their feathers before marketing. Other growers, however, al low the green ducks free access to ponds or streams until they are marketed. In answering advertisements mention the farm pages of The Journal. UPON THIS ROCK I Will Build My Church - 1 By Dr. JAMES E. TALMAGE Of the Council of the Twelve. Church of Jesus Christ of Iatter-day Saints, Salt Lake City. Utah. Ketet For free eeplet of ether articles of this series, tend reqaeat to the aathor. i Our Lord's rejoinder to Peter's soulful testimony that Jesus is the Christ is Of eternal significance. "Aad Jesos answered and said snto him. Blessed art tsou, Shnoa Barjonat for flesh aad blood bath not revealed It anto thee, bat my Father which ia la heaves. And I say also onto thee. That toon art Peter, aad upon this rock I will ball my ebarehi and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt. 16:17-18.) i , . It will be remembered that Simon, son of Jonas, on the occasion of his first recorded interview with Jesus Christ, had received from the Lord's lips the distinguishing name-title, Peter, or in the Aramaic tongue, Cephas, the English equivalent of which is rock or stone. (John 1 :42.) The name was confirmed upon the Apostle n the occasion now under consideration. In the course of the general apostasy subsequent to the ancient apostolic ministry, a grossly misleading doctrine gained currency, to the effect that Peter himself was the rock upon which the Church of Jesus Christ was to be founded. Let it suffice hers to say that a church founded or made dependent upon Peter or any other man would be Peter's or that other man's church, but certainly not the Church of Jesus Christ. See Book of" Mormon, 3 Nephi 27. That upon Peter rested the responsibility of presidency in the ministry of the Church, after the ascension of the Resurrected Christ, is not questioned ; but that ha ' was even typically the foundation upon which the Church of Jesus Christ was built is at once palpably unscriptural and untrue. ' tn PttAr knowledre. bevond all Question of doubt, that Jemta ChHiit la th Messiah, the veritable Son of the Living God. Individual revelation from God to man is the Divine principle here announced and affirmed. The fact that Peter had not derived his testimony fsom the teachings of flesh and blood, nor by any exercise of purely human function, is plainly set forth ; and with equal certitude follows the affirmation that the. God of heaven had revealed the great truth to the man. i Peter's knowledge was of a kind apart from all that man may find out tor himself; it was a Divine bestowal, in comparison with which human knowledge ia foolishness, and the treasures of earth but dross, i ' r , ; Then follows in immediate sequence the Lord's avowal that uoon this reek would He build His Church. The sure foundation, against which even the l powers 01 neu wouia not oe aoie to prevail, could not have been the weak and' mortal fisherman ; and the identification of Peter with the rock to which Christ referred is untenable even on philological grounds, through the use of different genders in the original Greek nouns. By- direct revelation from God Peter knew that Jesus was the Christ : and upon revelation as a rock of secure foundation, the Church of Jesus Christ was to be built. By Dlvtne revelation alone could or can the Church of Jesus Christ be builded and maintained ; and revelation of necessity implies revelators. through whom the will of God may be made known respecting His Church.' ..,-... As a gift from God comes the testimony of Christ Into the heart of man This principle was-affirmed by the Master's teachings at Capernaum: "No maa ran come to me, except the Father which hath sent ma to draw him And furthermore : "So maa ran come mnto me, except it were given ante him of my Father." (John 6:44-6..) -Peter's presidency among the Apostles was abundantly manifest and en erally recognised after the close of our Lord's mortal life: but. thourh Peter was for a brief neriod the presiding minister of the Church, that Church wu not Peter's but (mrist's; and the foundation was and is no man. but the worn of revelation that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, and to this there shall be no end, !

Cleaner An Indianapolis concern, the Midwest Engine company, which has been build ing dependable power units for the past half century, is finding that many .cog nomens are applied to their new small cultivator-tractor, a - combined utility machine for the small farm or large garden which they have aptly named "Utilitor." This machine is being dis played at the Northwest Utilitor com pany's salesroom at Sixth and Flanders street, Portland, Or. It Is stated the Utilitor has the. faculty of doing the work i of one horse in cultivating the soil or doing the work of a four horse power gasoline engine, and will drive up to its power job and then be belied on to anything that needs power to operate it. ; - Seeing it in operation recently a wit, one of Portland's many youthful jokers, declared the Utilitor looked like a "cootie"' whereupon the name "tractor cootie" -began to be applied ' to the Utilitor.' . r ; "Garden louse" is another nickname that was applied to the little utility ma chine, and "gasoline ant" is another. "Field flivver" is an appelation that in dicated the Utilitor may soon become "the Ford of the fields." r "Lizzie of the Cabbage Patch," "Furrow flivver," "Harrowing Hennery" and "Useful Utie" are other nicknames. "It matters little what the ' Utilitor is ' called." said R. H. Butler of the Northwest Utilitor company, "so long as the public shows that it realises how useful .the Utilitor is." f Grain Grading to Be Shown "The Dalles, May 29.

Write far sen ne SMssn Taga 4 SWIFT A COM PANY 183 tUsaa Street , PtlTtit, min MARKET SOLUTION ; By Arthur 4- Goldsmith The plan of organization of the Pacific Poultry Producers. Inc. is modeled, largely upon that of the Poultry Producers .of Central Cali fornia, which has proved very suc cessful. The experience of that as sociation has "been carefully consid ered in drawing up the contract of the mey association which is being formed to meet the four great needs of the Northwestern poultryman, aa follows: , ? Collective bargaining; elimination of speculation and manipulation, and waste in marketing poultry products ; develop ment, of proper markets ; adequate fi nancing. "n PRODUCER GETS PROFITS ""The Pacific Poultry Producers, Inc., is being organised as a non-profit coopera tive marketing association, where the full profit on the producers' product goes back to the producer. The affairs are controlled by a board of 15 directors, 13 of whom must be chosen . from mem bers' producing poultry : in the ' district from which they are elected, the .terri tory covered by the association being divided into districts, which shall be represented in proportion to the number of hens signed up. One director is nom inated by the field agent in marketing for Oregon, and another is nominated by the director of markets for the state of Washington. . These directors represent the public on the board. EACH HAS OXE VOTE ' Each poultry producer has one vote, except in emergencies threatening the life of the association, and in that event the vote Is proportional to the amount of business transacted through the asso ciation.: ' ' i The association is financed by an issue of preferred : and common stock. The preferred stock has no vote, bears 8 per cent interest, and ' must all be retired within three years. This stock is sold to the general public, and furnishes ay fine method of raising funds, and is used by a number of the most successful cooper ative associations. The common stock is Sold only, to poul try producers, who sign the marketing agreement at the rate of $10 in stock for each hundred hens. This stock can, but need not, be paid for in cash. The pro ducer, if he so desires, may give his note, due in one year for this Stock, and an order to the association allowing it to deduct one half cent per doaen from the proceeds due him for eggs marketed through the association, to be applied in payment of his note. vv AGREEMENT TO SELL' The marketing agreement provides that the producer will market his eggs, except those which he wishes to sell or keep for hatchings, through the associa tion for a period of three years. The contract goes into effect within 30 days after the association has 160,000 hens signed up, or. in any , event, not later than January 1. 1921. The association win pool , the eggs according to grade, variety and district, and repay the pro ducer the week: following delivery his proportion of the proceeds of the sale of eggs delivered during the preceding week, less the actual costs of marketing, which, .must ' not exceed 2 cents per dosen. The association will furnish cases and fillers, and charge the producers their actual cost. ; Another half cent per dozen will be deducted to be used in retiring the pre ferred stock, and the producers will be given credit for this deduction, and for each $10 so deducted oneshare of fully paid common stock' will be Issued to them. . . , . CURBEIfT PRICES RECEIVED 'f Under this plan the association will be able to put ggs into storage and pay the producers the current market price for those eggs. Just as if they were sold on the local market,, and all profit made on the eggs stored will be prorated dur the storage season. The association will also be able to pay the producer without delay the current market price of. eggs that are shipped east Profit made on eastern shipment will be credited to the general association fund. i Th contract is absolutely enforceable, and the honest producer will not be left holding the bag for the slacker who tries to evade his contract He will even have to pay all legal costs to enforce the con tract against himself. Under this plan the association will become a factor in the egg market of the Northwest, and will have something to say concerning the price the producer shall receive for his eggs. It will take the poultry producer out of the hands of the egg speculator and afford him the relief and protection that the Poultry Producers of Central California, Inc., of Petaluma affords the California poultry man. Such an association should spell success for the Northwest poultryman, just as the California association meant success for the poultry producers of California.
