It is in this oook where the name of Oregon appears so prbminently. and ' where the names of j all the world's record Jersey cows are listed. i " " . . Vha It Means , ' j -, Why Is: this? The main reason IS that Oregon has good! cows.; They are ( well bred - cows, They hare been selected with the idea of having intensified In the veins their inheritance for high! produc tion of milk' and butter fat. ' A glance at tho Jist of gold and silver medal and medal of merit bulls -gives a clear indication of why Oregon Tiajs developed high producing cows. It is through the bull or sire in any, herd or flock on the farm that improvement' is made. While he may set his good rrnalities'from his motherj his of f spring must- get those good qualities-, through him. . ..- A" gold medal bull has three gold medal cows, for his daught ers, rr He "s - a ' bull who can sire' several good daughters rather than perhaps only one or two. Out of 28 such gold medal bulls in the United States at the present time,' 12 of theso are found to have been developed in Oregon. . I . 'C i . A silver medal bull has "sired tiwoe daughters from different dame that have made silver medal requirements,; . Tho, silver medal icqulremenls apply to those cows hat freshened at less than; five years of age. Oregon has produced 20 of the 40 bulls that have made these requirements. 'j ,zy y. yy ; A medal of merit bull has isired daughters that have produced 860 arid articles, page; Help are two of these, Orezon , having one. , , ; 1 .Dolng'a Great Work T It wjlll be Been from, this that Oregon not only has a number ot high producing cows, but that the sires that are being , used in the state aro developing ;these cows The list r of sires f that '4 have achieved prominence is constantly growing. The result is that high producing blood is being dissem enated throughout the state in the ordinary dairy herds' on the farms- While it Is true that In many cases the farmer purchasing a sire gets. one; two, to three generations re moved from. the sire of promin ence, yet the influence of this pro duction Is felt in the offspring of these animals in . the ordinary grade herds of the state. : Oregon in the. Lead . To give an idea of the effect of the high producing cows and their relatives on the ordinary herds of Oregon,' attention - is called to the fact - that there we're ' only .' two states in the union that showed a higher percentage of Increase In the average production of all eows during the last 10 years than Ore gon. These . facts are ' discovered rrom ine comparison ; or tne cen sus: figures .for 1010 ; and 1920 Oregon s Increased average .pro duction -per cow was 17,2 in 1920, over the averake production in 1910. This Is greater than the increase shown by any state : in the union except New Mexico! and Florida. The 1910 production In these two states was so low, that it represents almost - none at all. y7'y. Then Ijook lit: This j j : H 'It is also of interest to note: that with the . average percentage of pure i bred cows in j the United States of 3.2, Oregon's average percentage ot dairy cows that are pure bred 1s 4.6. More significant than this, however, is the fact that in Oregon almost . 5 6 of . the dairy bulls used -in the state are pure bred.. This proportion Is ex-j ceeded only by four of the New England states and Arizona. The significance of this -indicates -the use to which Oregon dairymen are putting the high producing strains pof cattle that are available. Even 'With the increase within the last decade, the average pro duction for dairy eattle in. Oregon. is decidedly too-; low.- " Tho cow testing association operating in Tillamook county Is an indication Of .what can be accomplished by applying the 6ame methods to ordinary herds of cattle that have developed tho r high producing herds. "; The average production of that association during the last' year was 330 pounds' of fatv per cjw. The 2200 cows in the testing as sociation produced "an averago of more than twice as much butter fat in the year than the average Tillamook cow not in the testing associating This has been. brought about by the elimination off the unprofitable cow and the - use : of the 'pure bred sire.; Heifer cajves havo.beon kept tfom ," the best cows, and only those that were sired, by pure bred bulls have' been kept in these herds.' ' ' If every cow; in. Tillamook coun ty produced as much as did' the cows in" tho association, it would mean an increased Income to the county ot more than $2,000,000 a year. - ,This could easily be accom plished, and the pure bred, sire whose ancestry, traces back to the high record cows of Oregon would be an important factor In bringing about this .radical improvement. Two Principal Objects i'i - 1 ' Of tho two objects in developing i high producing strains of cattle, one Is" that these? cattle produce more economically than the low producing cows. "Another Is that th?lr offspring will transtnit'these qualities of high production to fu ture generations which, will result in improvement to. the entire cat tle business of .tho country, ; . While It Is a fine accomplish ment for the; Individual breeders to say that they have produced a world's record cow, and It is a fine thing for the state to bo able to say that its citizens have bred and developed world's record cows, yet the finest thing of all Is the exem plificatlon of tho fundamcntaf principle of "more economlCi .pro duction of , food underlying the whole thing. , It means a greater income' per cow, which- means .a more profitable ' cow. ; It ; means through this ; aw better satisfied For instance: Salem district has two counties growing the, eacred myrtle'the only place it grows on this continent.

Herj three records are as follows: ' '! i :126804 lbs. milk." 718.66 lbs. butter fat,-class O (Jr. 2 yr, old 1 13226.6 lbs. milk, 753.46 lbs. butter fat, class D (sr. 3 yr. old) ' .19741.9 lbs. milk, 1112.50 lbs. butter fat, class B (sr. 4 yr. old) . VHer total production for the three years was 45648.6 lbs. of milk containing 2584.62 lbs. of butter fat. A remarkable uniformity of, butter fat test is found, (as her average test on each record was 5.67. 5.70; and 5.64 respectively: Her class G record gave her ninth place in the breed at the time it was made. j Faith's records have been made on three mllkings a day, , and she was on, pasture whenever the weather was not too bad. During her, high months, she consumed from 18 to 20 pounds of the follow- " ing grain mixture: 200 each of bran, stock; feed' gluten feed, mid dlings; and: 200 each. of hominy, cottonseed meal, ground oats, and oil meal.
