Inspected to Increase their production there is room for an enormous expan sion of the industry by increasing the average per capita consump tion. The average consumption of butter per capita in the United States was estimated ; at 16.1 pounds in 1921. Canadians and Australians at that time consumed an average of more than 25 pounds. Per capita consumption ot cheese in France, , Denmark, the British Isles, the Netherlands and Switzerland varies from 2 to People of the United States use about 49 gallons of milk per cap ita for household purposes, while some European countries utilize in this?mannr more than 60 gal lons per year per capita. Coming Closer Home Coming cloEer home, the Unit ed States department of agricul ture has compiled; figures ihdicat Ing that the 11 western states of Oregon' .Washington. Idaho.' Cal ifornia, Nevada. Colorado, Utah. New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming and Montana produce only SO per cent of the "milk required by their combined populations, assuming that each individual consumes 920 pounds per year. To Improve Quality Improvement of the quality of 1 Oregon dairy products Is regarded J by dairy authorities as a most Oow pressing problem. It is asserted that outside markets are not open on favorable terms to Oregon dairy products as they compare favorably with the products of other surplus-producing regions. A veteran creamery operator Is authority for the statement that there has been no appreciable Im provement in the quality of cream received from Oregon dairymen In the last 15 years. A system of paying for cream on a quality basis has been recently adopted by creameries in Oregon and sou thern Washington. It is thought that this practice ;,of grading cream will have a wonderful effect on the ultimate quality of the manufactured products. Oregon Keclally Fovored From the standpoint of econ omical production Oregon is es pecially favored as a dairy state. - Average annual production per cow in this state is 4205 POUNDS AS COMPARED WITH 3148 rOUNDS for the United States as a whole. In the..' 10-years 1910 1920 average production per cow increased 17.2 pounds in Oregon an Increase not exceeded by any state having an Average produc tion of 300 gallons or more. Oregon Sixth iu Xatlon Oregon ranks sixth in the na tion in the percentage of pure bred bulls. Practically 49 per cent of the dairy bulls in this state are purebreds, while the percent- SALEM IS THE JERSEYDOM The Salem district has produced the greatest cow in the world, of ony age, any breed, living or dead The Salem district has the world's rec ord Jersey cow, and has produced all such cows but one in recent years Has produced 1 1 out of 1 7. of all the world record Jersey cows And half of all the 1000 pound Jersey cows - Has the greatest Jersey; herd in the world Has a long lead in gold medal and silver medal Jersey bulls, and other high record animals of that breed Has produced two out of three medal of merit Jersey bulls So the contest is between Salem district animals, and will so continue- Because this is the best dairy country on earth; produces the best cows in the world. CASCADE BRAND HAMS, OREGON S BLESSED WITH WORLD S GREATEST DAIRY j Well Known Feed and Feeding Expert, Confronted .With Colossal Task Picks Out for Special Mention Three of the Great Cows of Oregon Two of Them Were Tested Under Handicaps Editor Statesman: . In attempting to write a story of Oregon's greatest, dairy cows, one is confronted with such a co lossal task that you approach it with fear and trembling, for Ore gon is blessed, as are few states. with not only Oregon's but the world's greatest dairy cows, and as others with intimate knowledge a . 1 ii'Ill oi oiaer onueriui cu.i "'" ooutHiesfr coninpute. w subject I will attempt to tell of some that I consider should be placed among Oregon's greatest dairy cows, not from a standpoint of their marvelous records alone, but also from the angle of excel lent showing made in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles. I am going to pay my respects first to a little wonder, "Miss Inez," the diminutive Jersey mar vel owned by W. A. Forrest, of McMinnville, Oregon. "Miss " Inez" recently complet ed a year's test of 81919 pounds of milk and 952 pounds of butter fat, according to figures recently published in the Pacific Homestead. During this test this great lit tle cow went to 74.5 for one day's production and averaged 73.1 pounds of milk per day for 10 consecutive days. This in itself is a wonderful production from any Jersey, but when you take in to consideration that "Miss Inez only weighed 850 to 900 pounds when she started this test, you age in neighboring states are 41 for Washington, 39 for California, and 34 for Idaho. There are 61 cows for every purebred bull In Oregon, 70 In Washington, 99 in California and 103 In Jdaho. In percentage of purebred cows Ore gon also ranks high, with 4.6 as compared with 3.4 in Washing ton, 2.0 in Idaho and 2.4 in Calif ornia. Importance of Pure Bred The importance of tne pure bred bulls in increasing produc tion per cow is emphasized by the experience of Noah Black, prom inent dairyman ot Reedsport, wes tern Lane county. In 1906 Mr. Black purchased a purebred Jer sey bull. Merry Golden Lad, and mated him with four scrub cows that cost him $25 each and each of which averaged about 175 Dounds of fat per. year. The daughters from this bull made an average of 414.64 pounds fat in 8 months. Climatic conditions that make for unusually good pastures and forage crops, a minimum ot acute digestive diseases, low percentage of tuberculosis, and aggressive dairyman, are other factors that argue far the soundness of a pro gram looking forward to the ex pansion of the dairy Industry In Oregon. , W.

The above from him, to gether with the illustration, make up ja. wonderful showing for the Oregon dairying industry and its great future- Ed.) CAPITAL: OF, BACON AND LARD SALEM, OREGON COWS. SAYS HOGDEil ; get a glimpse of the reason why I place her as one of Oregon's greatest. Going a step further, "Miss Inez" had no box stall, just a stanchion stall, and a few weeks after starting the test she was afflicted with an attack of rheu matism that stayed with her through the entire year, but in the face of all these things she pro- ftttrcetrirfirtrk 10 per cent In-ex cess of twice her body weight and almost 10 per cent in excess of her body weight in butterfat. I do not know what some would demand in a greatest cow, but, in addition to this record, "Miss Inez" ia almost a perfect dairy type and I believe that if luck favors her that she has a fair chance for the world's record for milk for the breed, and I believe wa can all take off our hats to one of Oregon's greatest dairy cows, "Miss Inez." I now want to mention a cow of another breed that is undoubt edly entitled to be classed with Oregon's greatest, "Stanhope Belle Johanna," the sensational Holstein, formerly owned by H. G. Mullenhoff, Gresham, Oregon. I firmly believe that this cow was and would have proven- her self the greatest milk producing cow in the world had fortune fa vored. Her record for one day of 138.5 pounds, 7 days of 859 pounds and yearly record of 32453 pounds of milk speaks for itself, but when you take Into consideration that for months during the test this cow could not put her weight on one foot, and at times she could scarcely be kept standing long enough to milk her, you get a new angle of her ability to produce. After the year's work in which she captured every milk record in the state and placed herself near the top for the world, she was put back on test the succeeding year with her lame foot cured, and four months after starting this test she was milking in excess of 125 pounds per day. Then Mr. Mullenhoff's barn burned with all records and feed, so "Stanhope Belle Johanna." lost her great great chance, but in the placing of Oregon's greatest dairy cows we must give honor to this one of the greatest cows this state has produced. Another of Oregon's great cows is the widely known "Model Segis Prilly Gelsche," owned by C. J Berning of Mt. Angel, both as a show cow and a producer. Most every one is familiar with her great record of 31588 pounds of milk and 1026 pounds butter fat, which made her the record butterfat cow of the Holstein breed In Oregon and also with the honor that came to her in the show ring this fall in being placed grand champion at the Oregon state fair at Salem. In this cow, Oregon is fortunate In having one of the finest cxamptes of type and production that any state has ever, developed in the breed, and no one (would question her right to be placed in the great list of Ore gon's greatest cows.

Pages ' DID YOU KNOW that the Salem district has produced the best dairy cow in the world, of any breed, any age; that the Salem district now holds the highest place of all sections in Jersey world records; that we are making .more certain our. lead as producers of the highest class dairy cows on earth; that this is partly because we have here in western Oregon the best dairy country known; that there is more certain and greater profit in dairying here than elsewhere under the shining sun; that there is room here for great expansion in this line, and scope for the efforts of the leaders of the dairying industry, and a welcome awaiting them?. FARM REMINDERS FROM THE COLLEGE Advantages of Irrigating Vegetable Crops; Some Poultry Pointer, Etc. (Foillowlng art. paragraphs from a current bulletin of the de narlment of industrial journalism of the Oregon Agricultural col lege:) Two vegetable crops a season and use of cover crops to main tain soils in physical and fertility conditions, are advantages of Irri gating the vegetable garden, qual ity and size are improved by wa ter at the right time. It will en able the growing ot one crop at least not in competition with gen eral growers, insuring a good mar Ket. Irrigation crops hit the mar ket both earlier and later than unwatered crops. Egg size and shape is inherited. Gradual selection of those birds which in addition to a large num ber also lay "selects" will in time eliminate the birds laying the lower grade eggs. Three types of insect and dis ease pest remedies are often hawked about Oregon farms en dangering real control. One type of these fake panaceas is merely harmless, having power neither for good nor bad, one is actually dangerous to the crops it is said to nrotect. and the third is largely ineffective because the remedy is not in suitable form for the de signed use, and is high priced. Egg shell color does not affect the food value of eggs, but It does make a difference in the ap pearance. All brown or white eggs will command the nignesi prices. Range and exercise is especial ly desirable for poultry breeding stock. dix roosters with each 100 hens should give good fertility and hatchability with Leghorns. THE SALEM DISTRICT HAS PRODUCED 11 (Continued from page 10) and the climate and the natural conditions the soil and the sun shine and showers that conserve the highest qualities and make for the highest production in the domain of dairying And we have the dairy brains r And the dairy will do excel For it takes more than soil and climate to make a good Jersey cow it takes a good Jersey cow man; and this is true of all the dairy brt eds. Worth Millions The fact that the cows in the country surrounding Salem are going steadily forward breaking performance production records against the competition of all cowdom is bound to be worth millions to our valley. Instead of going to the Isle ol Jersey for the greatest producers, all Jerseydom must come here. It means that our climate and our soil, and -lneir productions are capable of developing the highest functioning milkinj; ani mals that crfn be produced in any country bordering all the seven seas. This means that the dairyins center of the world will be here in this valley. The big money for the milking champions will come here. It means that there Is greater encouragement here than any where else for the live, up-to-the-minute dairyman who will use his brains and his laltors for the building up of his business -let Phona 1995 it be dignified by saying his pro fession. . 1 For the breeding of such ani mals is a' profession. . .It requires the highest type of skill and study and, pains. But It is 'remunerative; and there is zest and pride and satis faction in theperformance of the unusual that 'is ever before the qualified breeder of the besi that the wide world affords. " It all means." too, the perform ance of unselfish work for the Lcood of all--for it ia shown by the latest studies of scientific men that the world's milk supply must be j increased in order to maintain and conserve and per petuate a virile race of people. -We cannot remain a nation that will do things and continu ally better things withont more and more milk. It is as necessary as air and sunshine. The reader, if he has not kept himself posted,- may be astonish ed at the statement. It is somewhat new. But it is true, by the unvary- OUR diplomatic, po lite services meet with public approval.
