Newspaper Page Text6 SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1921. EFFICIENT MARKETING BETTER FARMING THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON H,iiF o SURPLUS OF GOOD BOLLS A PROBLEM IN DAIRY CIRCLES By IUC. Stewart . x nrnblem confronting many of the breeders of purebred dairy stock Is, 'What are we to do with our sur plus of registered bulls?" The sit uatlon faces breeders of other stock to a less extent because in most of these cases the animal will bring a fair price if sent to the block. In the dairy breeds, a good rule, if it could be followed out, would be to reg ister only bulls pt good conformation from advanced registry dams and from fculla of e-ood dairy type. This would go a long way toward Improving the ren Intered stock and would make available for use on grade nerds many bulls that are field at high prices merely because they are registered. A separate classi fication could be made for bulls that are not backed by records, making It possi ble, to enter them later If they become eligible by their dams making the nec essary record. TYPE FIRST POIST Each bull registered should come up to a certain standard of type, consid ered along with the production of his ancestors. A bull whose dam will not produce enough to get Into the advanced registry class Should not be backed by papers that will qualify his daughters to be registered. It is regrettable, but nevertheless, a fact that there are a few registered scrubs, and even more regret tabu la the fact that ofspring from these registered scrubs sometimes find Us way to the head or a registered herd. Every purebred.bull In the country should be doings his part In Improving the quality of the livestock of the fu ture. There are still thousands of scrub bulls at the head of grade herds. These should be replaced with purebreds. Re placing the scrubs with purebreds to largely a matter of educating the owjer of the grade herd to the advantages of using better sires, for In most of the cases a man is using scrubs because his father did or. because the scrub was there when he went on the place and he could not see how he could pay a hlp:h price to get a bull that had papers to back him. , GOOD SIRE WILL PAT The average owner of a scrub herd will never make enough money out of his cows so that he can afford to pay even a moderate price for a good sire. That Is. he thinks he cannot, but in truth he can, for a good" sire will soon pay big dividends on the investment even if he, does come high, and In nine: cases out of 10 a breeder wishing jyi Improve his herd can get good backing from his bank, for the banks are alive n h ArlvantaffM rf httf?r livestock." The quality of purebreds varies widely and there are a great many purebred bulls that will not Improve the average registered herd, but these same bulls would Improve any irrade herd. Since there are a great many more purebred bulls than are required to head regis tered herds, the problem Is to find a way tft 'weed out the purebred slrcs so that only the best wiU-go to head the registered herds and 'the rest will be available for use in improving the many grade herds. . j HIGH PRICE BETKATS Testing has made It possible to deter mine the relative qualities of different animals and to arrive-) at a 'conclusion as to which animals are apt to make the best herd sire. A great many breed ers have picked their herd sire by the amount hl ancestors sold for and were very Borry for their bargain. High nrieea in themselves are not an indica tion of the worth of a strain of stock. Cases are 'known where rich .men who are breeding stock as a hobby have paid-fabulous sums for a. cow that would Viot pay for her feed, and yet her off spring brought big prices because of the precedent set. The average breeder the one is depending on his stock for a living must have something back of his stock besides ahlgh price he must .have a line of consistent producers. A herd sire should not be selected by the amount , any someone of his ances tors : produced, by the price his great grandslre sold for, orby the fact that he is a type individual, for he or anyone of his outstanding ancestors may have been a so-called "sport." JPRODrCTIOX IMPORT AST Several things should be ' considered when selecting a sire. Type Is essential both in the individual and in his ances tors. Production is even more important and the greater number of cows with good substantial records back of the sire. It is generally conceded that a bull with a few good records close up in his pedigree is of more value to head a nerd tnan one that has a dam with an exceptional record with no other high producers In the family. Three Veterinarians for'State The state will be divided into three zones' for the future wjrk of . the state sanitary board. Zone headauartera will be established at Bend, Eugene and Portland, with a veterinarian for each place. SASrt AND DOORS O. B).

DESCHUTES SEEKS FAIR RATE ON HAY j By R. A. W. , Farmers In Central Oregon want freight rates on hay and potatoes re duced to a basis more nearly in keeping with rates on farm produce made from other hay and potato shipping points in Oregon and Washington. At the present time it costs $1.50 more per ton to ship Central Oregon alfalfa to Portland than it does alfalfa from Yaki ma, although the latter point is 313 miles from Portland and Bend only 249 miles. Farmers have expressed them selves in regard to the matter and com mittees from the Redmond and Bend Commercial clubs are at work investigat ing the situation with a vier to getting a reduction in rates if possible. The. rates from other Washingtona-nd Oregon points of even greater distance from Portland are also more favorable to the shipping of hay and potatoes than are rates from the Deschutes valley. This works a hardship on the Central Oregon producer ; and at the present time pre vents Central Oregon products from com peting on a parity with farm produce from other sections of the Northwest. This year Crook and Deschutes coun ties have cjome into prominence as pro ducers of high quality alfalfa hay in large volume. While figures on Crook county are unavailable,' Deschutes sta tistics show that over 40.000 tons of alfalfa hay1 were harvested in the county this year as well as some 7000 tons of grain hay. Deschutes county has for ex port some 15.000 to 20,000 tons of hay at the present time. Central Oregon alfalfa, because of Its fineness and heavy leaf ing qualities, has always been In demand in the Willamette valley and the coast dairying counties. One group of dairy men on the Coast have paid a premium of $2 to $3 per ton for the Central Oregon hay over that paid for the coarse, ranker growing product. The famous Powell Butte section lylns In Crook county just east of Redmond has several thousand tons of hay await ing shipment. Many of the Deschutes and Crook farmers plan on dairying and Re make water and gasoline tanks of galvanized iron or copper. Metal hen s nests, chimney tops, gutters. Write" for Estimates.

Governor Suggests No Fair; Yakima Citizens Indignant Yakima, Jan. 22. Governor Louis F. Hart's suggestion to the legislature to close the state fair Is bringing a wave of protest from the Yakima grangers. Members of the executive committee of Yakima district Tomona No. 10, meet ing in business session at the Commer cial club rooms recently, were the first to take official action. They went on record in opposition to the move in a series of resolutions asking for a real appropriation and an honest effort on the part of the state to build up a fair here that will make a proper display of the products of the state. They hold that Washington will be taking a backward step in announcing to the world that it cannot support such an institution, that such a movement will in a great meas ure counteract and nullify the work done in advertising by commercial bodies and community clubs. Miekle Accepts Position J. D. Mickle, former dairy and food commissioner, has accepted a position with, the Oregon Dairyman's Cooperative association, and is now on active duty as assistant organization manager Mickle is well fitted for this work, for he has a wide acquaintance among the dairymen.

Writ for Fall Partlralar it FIRST 8TREET ' -yz : : ; OREGON GROWERS HOLD MANY PLANTS Although the Oregon Growers' Cooperative association was not ful ly organised for business until about one year ago, yet during the year 1920 it built plants at Riddle, Myr tie Creek, Dever, Dallas, Sheridan. Carlton and Forest Grove. In addition to building these plants. It took over three new plants. One waa at Roaeburg, one at Scotta Mills and the other at YamhllL Older plants were taken over at Medford, Sutherlln and at Salem. Thus In the one year of its organisa tion the association has built and taken over 13 plants, all located in the great fruit belt of Western Oregon. . The plant bought at Medford had been In use only a few years and is in good condition. It Is built of hollow tile, two stories high, with a cold stor age equipment for about 40 cars. After the plant was purchased there was an addition put on. 72x90 feet. SMALL PLANTS TAKEN OTER j Three small plants In the neighbor hood of Medford were also taken over, one at Voorhies, one at Phoenix and the other at Davis. ; At Grants Pass the association pur chased a site and may at some near future date erect a packing house. The prune packing plants at Riddle and Myrtle creek are regarded as ,of suf ficient size to care for the business in those localities for a number of years. The plant at Roseburg is built of hol low tile. Just for packing apples, a plant was erected at Garden Valley, 60x80 feet. At Dever a 16-tunneI drier was built. This is five miles north of Albany. At Dallas the association purchased almost a city block and erected one of the finest driers In the West. It has 32 tunnejls and is equipped with modern trading and processing machinery. The building is 80x108. j At Sheridan it was necessary to build a' very large drier and therefore a 40--tunnel drier was erected. At Carlton a 24-tunhel drier was erected and was run to full capacity the last season. At Yamhill the association took over a new plant that had just been built At For est Grove a prune packing plant was put up and also an addition for apples. I RECEIVING STATIONS PUT CP At Estacada and Springbrook receiv ing stations were established where apples and dried prunes were handled for shipment. At Scotts Mills an unfin ished plant was taken over and during the year this was completed. At Salem the plant known as the Salem fruit union was entirely taken over by the association. i The tOregon growers are organised on the general plan of the California coop erative associations which have proved so successful. During- its first year of active work it has accepted for mem bership 1600 growers and controls 28,000 acres. It Is the largest cooperative asso ciation in Oregon and is rapidly growing in membership, as fruit growers through out the Northwest are coming more and more to believe In the merits or coopera tion, especially since they have the lea sons of California before tnem. Breeders in Annual Session Walla Walla. Wash.. Jan. 22. Mem bers of the Walla Walla Pure Bred Breeders' association met In annual ses sion January 22. The plans for the an nual sow and gilt sale put on each year by the association were discussed at this time. The association is composed of farm ers throughout the Walla Walla valley Interested In the breeding of pure bred livestock. T NOTICE TO FRUIT GROWERS MR. H. W.

PORTLAND, OREGON GF?OWERS SSCKIATION NOTES More than 1.000,000 pounds of Mlstland prunes were sold in one week recently by the Oregon Growers' Cooperative as sociation and the Washington Growers' Packing corporation, according to R. C. Paulus, sales manager. Heretofore, inquiries from the East have been mostly for large sizes but lately the inquiry has been for all sizes. The low, prices received for prunes was caused by the fact that the Bpot market in the East has been declining as certain coast packers have been quot ing extremely low prices. Paulus says that It is probable other sales will be .made" as there is now con siderable inquiry frpm the East and that several deals are pending. The execiftiye committee of the board of directors of the Oregon Growers' Co operative association, elected at the an nual meeting in January, is as follows:' M. H. Harlow of Eugene, president ; Gor don Voorhies of Medford. first vice presi dent, and Allan Bellinger of Scotts Mills, second vice president. The other two members are George Zimmerman of Yamhill and R. A. Busenbark of Rose burg. The committee meets monthly. Farm Institute Held at Eainier Rainier, Jan. 22. A most successful and well attended farm bureau short course was held at Rainier, beginning January 11 and ending January 15, under the direction of Thomas J. Flip pin Jr., county agricultural agent. State organizers and extension men and women gave talks on subjects of im portance to the farmer. A county or ganization was perfected and a big membership drive was financed and planned for the near future.

This is the first time that breeders of these states have pooled their interests and are working to gether for their mutual benefit, ji One of the most important issues' to come before the meeting was the taking of definite action upon cooperating wlth the American Jersey Cattle club in 'the employment of - a field man to cover these states for the Jersey breed, i It has been felt for some time that the services of such a man was needed, but It has been hard to get enough Interest aroused so that such a move might he authorized. The Jersey breed has made wonderful progress In the past, but It is felt I by all that much better progress can be made If a capable man Is employed to advance the interests of the breed, get the stock into new territory and look after the publicity matters. Closer co ordination of interests and better co operation between the breeders is ex pected as a result of the use of a field man. ' i , The holding of another Jersey jubilee Is being contemplated by Oregon breeders. Model Farm Site Sought Marshfield, Jan. 22. Professor IL D. Scudder. formerly soil expert at the G. A.
