Chamber to Be Host - To Four Governors A feature of the entertainment pro gram for the western governors who will come to Portland to participate in the Governors.' day program on Tues day, November 8, at the Pacific Inter national, will be a dinner to be given in the green room of the Chamber of Commerce on Friday evening, Novem ber 11, by the Chamber of Commerce, in connection with the Chrysanthemum show. Ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden of IHU nols will give an informal talk at this dinner. E. E. FaviUe, editor of the Western . Farmer and chairman of the Chamber's agricultural committee, will oe in tnarge oi arrangements. The operations of production and dis tribution of the Hollywood farm, at Hollywood, Wash-, have been brought to such efficiency that the flow of milk products to the Seattle coasumers has come to be a part of the' daily food attribution of the community. The business is standardized by the provision ot every facility that can assure main tenance of the high quality which has been set, and ' consequently the Holly wood trademark carries a guarantee that has come to be a 'legal . tender" wherever known. A dairy store is maintained in Seattle by the Hollywood farm, where products fresh from the farm which have been handled with regard for sanitation and wholesomeness at. every step and which are maintained at a quality that never shows appreciable variation. PAIRT DISHES SERVED ; At the cafeteria counter of the dairy store, a menu of dairy and other dishes are served. At the retail counter, milk, butter, cottage cheese and other dairy products are sold. A feature of the Hollywood service is the supplying of milk for babies. The Hollywood farm was purchased by Fred S. Stimson in 1910. A herd of grade cows which had produced milk for the Seattle market was included in the deal of the acreage, which extends across the Sammamish valley. Stimson added a number of registered Holstein rows, with a view to developing a high class herd. An accounting system re quires a showing by every cow. An especially interesting feature about Hollywood farm is the fact that most of the cows now on the farm have been bred there. . Many of them claim the famous Judge Segis for their sire, which iin itself puts a high distinction on them. COWS ARE SELECTED Certain cows are selected for the sup ply of milk to babies. These are milked before the' rest of the herd, the milk passed through sterile gauze, cooled to a low temperature and bottled. A spe cial cap covers the neck of the 'bottle as further protection. All of the stables are kept scrupuously clean, being finished in concrete. In the utilization of the by-products the same efficiency which is shown in the handling of the milk is attained. Forty-two acres of land are used for the poultry department of the Hollywood farm. Every hen tias to Justify her maintenance for production. Products of the poultry department are sent to the Hollywood dairy store. . v. ' ' V v.

Dairy Feed Division, Kerr Gifford Co.. Portland. Oregon. Dear 8lr: On the 8th day of this month 1 finished an official 30-day record with my Holstein Frieslsn cow. Stanhope Belle Johanna No. I82S77. ' During that time she produced 3560.9 lbs. milk, containing 12.674 lbs. fat, equivalent to 128.23 lbs. butter. During this same period she finished a seven-day record of 859.7 lbs. milk, con- ; tain lng 27.375 Its. fat, equivalent to 34.22 lbs. butter. During all this time the cow has beep fed a concen trated ration of Kerr's Milk Maker, and I may say the cow Is in as good or better condition today than she was , at the time of freshening. This, in my mind, speaks vol umes for Jfour teed, for a cow with her production has been under heavy strain at all times and shows no 111 effects. , If you will maintain this standard of your feed, I shall not hesitate to recommend it to anyone desiring a first class feed, and you are at liberty to use this letter for any purpose you see fit in promoting the sale of this feed.
