Willamette Valley
By CHAJILES J. LISLE
Starting at 7:30 Friday morn
ing from . Salem where they had
spent the night, the Oregon Jer-
8ey Jubilee caravan drove first to
the' farm of W. 0. Morrow, six
miles out of Salem on the Inde-
nendenc road. About 100 mem
bers drove out on this first aec-
tion of the Journey, though the
number was greatly increased
during the day.
At the Morrow farm, which is
one of the oldest Jersey homes in
this section of the valley, they
found one real Jersey wonder
a daughter of the famous old
bull; Golden Glow's chief. Her
name is Morrow's Select: she is
18 years old, has raised 15 calves.
and she looks today almost like a
3-year-old, after all these years of
steady milking.
Back Irf the Business
The Morrow herd was all but
dispersed a year or two agd.Tmt
i Mr. Morrow finally decided to o
back into the business on a larger
scale,. and now he maintains
i considerable herd.
S. H. Robinson, a neighbor, al
so exhibited several Jerseys at
the Morrow barns, j
At Mc Arthur & StauK's Ash
wood farm; near Rickreall, the vis
itors Inspected the' famous dairy
herd that has recently broken all
nerd records for heavy produc
tHm. The fanri has almost noth,
us iue iarm. vi its wuriu recuiu
herd, 10 cows were sired by the
famous bull Holger, that McAr
thur & Stauff finally sold before
they knew his world record as
milk sire. He Is now on a farm
I south of Albany.
' Other ReeefTl Cows Here
Seven other cows are the pro
geny of St. Mawes of Ashwood,
and two are td get the present
senior herd sire Pogis 99th of
Hood Farm. Norena of Ashwood
has a butterfat record ot 928.61
pounds In 'one year; Helma of
Ashwood has 903.66 pounds; and
potsie ot Ashwood has 831,9?
pounds. All these wonderful Cows
were in the herd record.
Some young animals, with their
first or second calves, were in the
herd, and of course reduced the
average 1 6-cow herd production
of 56.85 pounds ot fat per month
for a whole year ending April 30,
1922, so that it was only 682.10
pourfda per animal.
Congressman McArthur him
self was present at the farm, and
Li of the day with
the caravan.

phant Presentations
The first annual May festival
came to a close last sight with
the showing ot 13 masterpieces ot
art through the medium of living
models. The fact that Salem
folk had tor the most part wit
nessed "living pictures" was per
haps responsible for the smaller
crowd last night compared to the
first night when Haydn's oratorio
The Creation" was given.
The music by the Salem Sym
phony orchestra which preceded
each picture was especially good.
Mrs. Carlton Smith sang the "Ato
Marie" before the great master
piece of Florentine art, "The Ma
donna of the Chair."
Many Questions asked
What is the benefit of living
pictures? That those who witnes
sed the posing for those 13 pic
tures last night will have a better
understanding of Just what these
paintings are. Questions could be
heard on every slder"What was
hat?" Hasty consulting ; ot the
program which gate not only the
name of the picture bat that of
the artist, the period in which he
lived but also the school to which
he belonged.
It is the hope of those who have
sponsored the first festival that it
may be made an annual event The
"Messiah" Is even now being con
stdered as a
put on next
fitting oratorio to
Christmas by the
8am e chorus which gave the
"Creation." This would of

of the orchestra members work
without pay as did Dr. John R.I
Sites, director of the orchestra
and ot the great chorus of the
oratorio.
The orchestra did wonderful
work in connection with the pic
tures notwithstanding the fact
that it was the fifth night of the
last six that it had played the en -
tire evening. Since rehearsals
were held regularly before the
final appearance. The numbers
were given in accord with the
mood of the pictures which fol
lowed and through it all the per
feet working of the orchestra with
the director was apparent.
Pictures considered -especially
meritorious last night were "The
Children of vharles Stuart, Tne

donna .of the Chair," and the
"Quest of the Holy GraiL"
All Phases Educational
The aim of the committees In

the festival educational. The pic -

were selected from schools rep
