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.

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

this industry promises to become quite
extensive In the valley next year. Plans
formulated at a dairy meeting held re
cently at Tumalo contemplate importing
several carloads of dairy cattle from the
Willamette valley and coast counties
during the early spring months.
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.

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.

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.

January 11 and ending January 15,
under the direction of Thomas J. Flip
pin Jr., county agricultural agent. State

JERSEY BREEDERS i
OF 5 STATES MEET
Representatives of the Jersey
breeders of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, California and Nevada are
holding a meeting today in the green
room at the Chamber of Commerce,
Several matters of importance that
are of mutual interest to the breeders
from all of these states were taken
up. 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.
