llSTTIR FROM POCLTETMAS
Our readers are here given an oppor

ent management, or the management

had set. much store will go the way of

to market our eggs through the asstocia.

t cents' per dozen has been charged for
. putting eggs on the local market, while
shipments to Nw York showed a loss
i of $2,000. -At the same time a carload
of eggs were sold to a Britisn Co-
lumbia dealer at a price considerably
Iwlow what he had been paying a

Perhaps feed speculators and prof

The producing useful people who sup

8CHBOEDEB REPLIES
Portland, .Or.. June iS. To the Edi--'
tor of The Journal Referring 10 the
, letter signed by Mr, H. V. Rominger
criticizing the management and oper
. atioa of the Pa-Jifie Cooperative foul--
try Producers, which you very kindly,
referred to me ; J beg to advise that
- this letter is in lin with all of Mr. and
" Mrs- Romlnger'e correspondence since
joining the association and in line wiui
., their attitude on all, things both poliu-
eal and otherwise. '
As you will observe from a reading
Of his letter there are. with one or two
excerrtions. no definite statements. The
definite charges are, first, that "it cost
more to marxet uf eggs ihrougn Uie
association than it-id without i'." A
charge which neither Mr. Rominger nor
any other mas caw prove, and a charge
that po one can - Intelligently deny be
cause the conditions are such that it is
Impossible to summarize them in tan-
: glble form. Ilia statement is equvalentyi
to someone 's aaying that it Is hotter on
the earth than it is on Mars, which has
been both, affirmed and denied by
" Scientists.

A tain, he states .that 7 cents per

that in figuring the retail selling cost
4f that portion of our product which 1e
, Sold locally at retail, and In prorating
1 such, business a proportion of the

: charges against retail sales, it was
found that the cost of making retail

itt fails o state that the retail costs

Members of the board of trustees of the Padfiis Egg Producers association, wbicfa held its meeting in Port
land on Fitfdar. This association is made up of the five principal cooperative egg- producers' organiza
tions of the Pacific coast. Reading from left to right H. W. Stanley of Ixs Angeles, manager of the
Southern California Poultry Producers; J, H. Barber, manager of the Poultry Producers of Central Cali
fornia, Inc., and general manager of the Pacific Egg Producers; H.C. Wills of Seattle, manager pf the
Washington Cooperative Poultry Producers; V. L. Upson, manager of the Oregon association; G. C.
Keeney, manager of the San Diego Poulfry association; S. D. Sanders of Puyallup, and J. H. Guffey,
directors of the Washington Cooperative Poultry Producers. Routine
made by the selling agency in
covered by the trustees.
ures are almost as erroneous since our
financial statement shows that there is
a deficit at the present tima in -Hasten
shipment account of J47:;9.51. A deficu
at this time of the year is usual. Every
one who knows market conditions kno
that from December ! to the following
June' 30. during the season of low
prices, there is bound to be a deficit
created on such business.' but from
July 1 to December 1. during the period
of rising markets, this deficit has al
ways been entirety wiped out and profit
made. On June 30 of 1821 our de
ficit In the Eastern shipment account
was $3059.36. This deficit was wiped
out during the season of rising prices
from July to December 1 and in addi
tion a profit of over $7000 was accumu
lated as stated above.
STATEMKN'Tt'KTRfE
Mr. Romihcer lso states that a car
load of eggs has been sold to a Eritish
Columbia dealer at a price below that
which the dealer has been paying to
the Washington Egg association, and
accuses the management of destructive
competition. This is another statement
which apparently Mr. Rominger has
taken at its full face value and which
has absolutely no foundation. This as
sociation has pot sold a carload of
eggs to any British Columbia dealer at
any price during the year 1922.
ISK OK AI.IBT
It Is very errerent from the state
ments made by Mr. Rominger that he
readily believes everything that he may
hear which is derogatory to the as
sociation, and it is also evident from
the latter portion of his letter that the
whole difficulty n the case, as in the
case of some other poultry producers,
is that he is not able to so conduct his
poultry plant as to make him a profit
and that he is willing to accept, any
alibi available to relieve himself of the
responsibility of such failure.
The books and records of the asso
ciation are open to the inspection of the
members at all reasonable times and
the association welcome-, and invites
fair-minded investigation of its con
duct and management by responsible
people. Very truly yours,
(Sigped) F. C. SCHROEDEK,
President-
Poultry

"When production starts to slump,
says the O. A. C. poultry department,
loo's over the -flock carefully for dry,
shriveled combs, yellow ear lobes and
beaks.' H will usually pay, after, an
examination, to dispose of such hens
at this time of the year. A palatable

slightly Increased amounts as the sea

a moist mash will usually result In

Splendid results in crate, fattening

HOLSTEIN TOUR
IS BIG SUCCESS
By O. 31.' Plswmer
On Saturday, June 24, the Multno
mar county Holstein breeders held
their annual tour, under the direction
of County Agent S. B. Hall, a Holstein
breeder. The tour was scheduled to
start from Qresham at 10 o'clock and
the first stop was at the place of
Jacob Luseher at Falrview. The Lus
cher horn' burned down recently dur
ing the absence of the family, and a
new one is being erected, finer end bet
ter than the old one. The Iuscher
children have long been interested in
club work, and have done some splen
did work aong club lines. It is to be
expected that these young folks will
add luster to the Luseher name. The
Luseher herd has Aust come throueh
a complete test for tuberculosis with
out a single reactor.,
. The next stop was' at the Hall place,
where 8. B-. the present owner, was
born. He has some extremely good
young Holsteins on the place, as well
as some very promising young HallSj
and the farm itself is on-whfcJr-,ii
rich in natural fertility and 'wity pro
duce greaf crops under suff icientvCUHft
vation. '.. 4.
FOTrjTDATIOTf SECCBE . ""
Hall has not had the time to devote
to his private work, but the. day jcomeS
when he will turn his attention entirely
to farming and. the breding of Hol
steins. He has ffi great foundation
already.
The third station on the tour was at
the farnvo'f William McKeown and fol
lowing that, the farm of his brother,
Dave McKeown. These breeders owned
Segls Walker Matador, a full brother
to the famous bull. Matador Segis
Walker, .senior herd sire for Carnation
Stock farms, without question one of
the best bulls of the breed in this
country. Segis Walker Matador is not
known so widely as his great brother,
but the same blood in the same pro
portions flows in his veins and his
Calves look Just about as good to the
eye and are very similar to his neph
ews and nieces. The McKeown bull,
proved so good that the Carnation peoK
p'.e bought him about two years ago!
On the McKeowns' places are some
produce of dams right now. two of
which will make worthy contenders
for that great silver faset given by
the Eastern breeders -who visited the
Pacific International Livestock expo
sition last fall. -
GET BUST, JLADIESt
The McKeown brothers have a strong
feeling that they are going to capture
that trophy or try mighty hard this
fall.
William McKeown is a bachelor, and
when he has this tea set in his home
a -wife -should be next in order. His
poetoffloe is Gresham, Or., and sealed
bids will be received at any time. Dave
McKeown has much the same breeding
and style of Holsteins as William,
which is a mifrhty high style. They
undoubtedly will show at Gresham at
the county "fair, the state fair at Salem
and atthe Pacific International this
year.
J. Burns at Sandy has only been in
the Holstein business for a few years,
but It must be extremely good because
Alfred Ghormley has been down from
the Carnation Farms and bought some
Of the young stuff from this place. He
is using a son of Segis Walker Mata
dor and Stanhope Belle Johanna, the
wonderful cow of H. G. Mullenhoff.
; The tour then took in the county
farm where a son of Judge. Segis is
putting some great top lines; on some
fine young stuff. The plant here is
worthy of any Holstein farm in the
country, and. I have never seen a
cleaner barn nor one more adapted to
practical use. The building is a model
one in many respects, and the herd is
extremely 'uniform and good V. G.
Smith, the superintendent of the live
stock department, deserves' credit for
the almost ideal conditions here.
PCBEBREDS PRAISED
The board of county commissioners
deserve praise, also, for recognizing
the real value of milk, and the Hol
stein breeders recognized this in a vote
of approval and a resolution approv
ing of the work done here and. extend
ing the hope that ,the new board will
realise the importance of maintaining
a herd of -purebred Holsteins at county
institutions:. -The testimony ef eounty
and, state institutions is to Jie effect
that the maintenance of purebred milk
cows is marked by an improvement is
the mental and physical condition, of the
inmates at a lower cost. . The Hol
steins seem to be peculiarly adapted
to such institutions.
' -The principal gathering of the day
was held at the MuUenlioff farm, and
the minute the parties on tour reached
the place titer went right out to look
at Stanhope Belle Johanna before- the
settled down to a real feast, and foJ.
lowing the feast came the speaking:,
H. A.- Lewis, former state senator, and
fX . Minton led the way. ; : " ' ,
FI5E MILK RECORD
Mr. Mullenhoff told of the work of
the great, cow which at six years pro-,
duced : 32,453.S pounds of milk ' and
124J.5 pounds of .butter in a yeart the
first'eow he had ever tested.. -k
-1 Miss-Hilda Htafanson, who cared fori
Stanhope Belle Johanna for' the last
everr months of the test, was .pre
seated. Miss Stafaneon seidV she had
1:V
business, and a report on progress,
eggs are being marketed daily, were
not realized how much a person could
grow to love a cow until she started
to take care of this great animal.
When the Mullenhoff cow was started
on test she was not in good condition,
but today she is in wonderful shape,
and appears to be ready to start off a
new year test with every likelihood of
beating her own record and passing
several of the great Holsteins which
have surpassed her. She stands fourth
in the united States and sixth In the
world.
Miss Stafanson found the cow's ud
der so . large that she was unable to
mi!k altercate teats and had, to milk
two teats on one .side and then go
around on the other side and milk'lhe
Other two. Stanhope Belle Johanna
appears "to be of a perfect disposition,
quiet, unruffled and calm. On the
coming test ft is believed by her owner
and others that she will make a thou
sand pounds of milk in seven days.
Her previous seven-day test is about
860. -
HODGES AIDS CAUSE
S, K. Hodgen of Kerr. Gifford com
pensy was present and to htm was due
much of the, success of the cow. He it
was who encouraged Mullenhoff to
test, who hetped - compound the ra
tions and who acted as "expert feed
man, counsellor and friend all through
the year. Hodgen has four record
cows under his personal supervision in
Oregon.
Stanhope Bell Johanna was eight
years old June 24 and all her calves
have been bulls, three by Segis
Walker Matador, and, she is now with
calf to s son of- her wn and Segi
Walker Matador. If this calf Is a
heifer, carrying 75 per - cent of the
blood of this great dam Mullenhoff
will certainly be subject to congrat
ulations. As "We came - away we noted a post
on one side of which there was the
legend "Clackamas county," and on
the : other side, "Multnomah county."
It seems that Stanhope Belle Johanna
made her record in Clackamas county
and that her owner votes in Clacka
mas county, as his house is over the
line, but the bulk of the farm is in
Multnomah county and all the feed
which the cow, ate to make that milk
and butter was produced on the Mult
nomah county side of the line. The
tourists urged that she be brought over
the line and housed on this side, as it
was felt that Clackamas claims to be
a Guernsey and Jersey county

The spring grains have suffered
badly for want f rain and in most
cases haver not grown much higher

Association Wins
Injunction; Trial
To Be Held Soon
.Dallas. Or., July 1. A temporary in
junction was granted by Judge Belt n
circuit court here against P. P. Bonier,
a Polk county poultry man, from dis
posing of any of his produce to other
than the Pacific Cooperative Poultry
Producers. The cooperative company,
which maintains headquarters in Port-t
lajid.'claim that Buhler. entered into a
contract with it in 1920 to market -his
eggs and other produce through the as
sociation exclusively, but for more
than a year has failed 'to do so. The
case is of more than ordinary import
ance because It involves the validity of
cooperative marketing contrasts. The
case will be tried on its. merits in about
ten days.
Hay Harvest Near
Jefferson Keeping
Farmers on Hop
Jefferson, Or.. July 1. The hay har
vest is occupying the time of the farm
ers in this district. Hay is selling at
S6 a ton in the field, but the price for
hay delivered has not as yet been re
ported. The prospect for a crop of seed clover
is not so good because of the hot and
cold weather which has practically
froien or dried out much of the crop.
Several farmers around Jefferson are
raising sugar cane this year with a
prospect of profitable returns.
3TEr POTATOES APPEAR
Eugene, July 1. New potatoes have
appeared on the local market and farm
ers are getting ii and 4, cents a pound.
Carrots, beets and turnips are down
to 50 cents per dozen bunches and
strawberries are up to $1.50 and $1.75
a crate. The poultry market tone is
weaker and seems-due for a drop of
two or three cents. .
