-' Fire-years ago Just as ordin
ary dairy herd, today one of the
leading herds of the northwest,
with state champion cattle, Is
the "accomplishment of the Mt.
Angel college stock farm.
The herd -was first developed
. under the management of Rct.
Tr. Martin. In 120 Rer. Ft.
Joseph, O. S. B.. t6ok over the
management and built the ' fine
dairy - barn which Is now in nse.
He realised- that as expert dairy
man was needed if the, farm was
to . reach trie standard- f of which
he dreamed.- : -.J l-v. ;V,
la 1924 L. H. Thomas came
to : take charge of the farm and
in the fall of that year the first
animals for the 'foundation of the
herd were bought. Among the
lot was the "present senior herd
aire, .Valdessa -De Kol. now - re
cognized as one of the greatest
" proven sires In America.
The. following spring another-
group of fine animals was pur
chased. Including the grand
champion cow at the Oregon
state -fair in 1928, Tillamook
Lilian Beauty. Nearly a year ago
the boll Sir Walter Inka Home
stead 2nd was bought. His sire
was. grand champion at the Ore
gon state fair for 3 years
- straight, 1924, 1925 and 1926.
Sir Walter was grand champion
at the fair In 1929.
There are now about 80 head
of registered Holsteins at the
farm. It is an abortion free herd
and for several years has been
accredited free from tuberculo
sis. Cows capable of giving over
100 pounds of milk daily' and
cot.s testing ovr 4 per cent are
found In fheherd. To accomplish
this is more" than mere luck. No
, coy is kept In the herd that will
not give over 400 pounds of
butter fat. This rule applies even
to heifers. " -
The utmost care in selection
of stock,4 feeding and -general
care has been and is being exer

' WASHINGTON (AP) An ov
erloaded market and declining
profits have setfethe federal farm
board plumbing California's grape
Industry '
. The group will study whatever
factors of overproduction, faulty
distribution or combination of
difficulties facing the 1930 crop.
It is the second effort, to un
tangle the California situation.
The board already has approved
a loan of 19,000.000 for stabil
ization of the 1929 market and
$1,000,000 of the amount has
gone forward to a raisin growers
too pera tire association,
After seeking the basis for a
1930 program In Calif orala the
board proposed to study the
problem of ... growers in New
York. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ar
kansas and other states adding
to the $05,000,000 annual busi
: "ness of the grape Industry.
The California situation Is the
most acute because it is the big
gesL There Is sufficient acre
age to produce 75,000 cars of
grapes each year if the w eatb.gr
-.- is favorable. . It ia-Xor the farm
board -to determine whether that
amount can be marketed prof i-
- tably or whether some . of the
acreage must be abandoned. ;
The flatter move, it is agreed,
. would be unpopular. .
. For ' two years the bureau of
agricultural- economics has nrg
5ed upon the California . . Vineyard-
,Jstsa. association the necessity for
- reducing acreage. . . - -.
The circumstances are those of
norma reaction to any wildly pre
; cipitated boom. As early as 1 9 2 2
i the tfemendous demand - f for
Juice "grapes ' was' sending prices
"from $25 and '$30 a' ton to some-
times more' than $1001 . - : . "
Producers immediately', start-
ed expansion, t urged on by the
; peak sales of 1925 and 1927. The
. total carload shipment of fresh
grapes rose from 59,914 cars in
!2922 to 81,734 In 1923. Of the
' former California' provided 42,

edging the commendation, of Sec
retary Hyde, American meat pack
ers and wholesalers have settled
down behind tBeir new "Code of
Trade Practices" to see what hap
pens. . '
It is the tirsl time the industry
as a whole has come together to
set out tne things that are "un-
fair, wasteful and uneconomical
and pledge uniform opposition to
them. The move was initiated by
the Institute of. American Meat
Packers., Inspired by theories of
former Secretary Jardine and for
mer President Coolidge as early
as 1925.
Mr. Hyde, WW asked the. trade
conference not to adjourn. without
adopting a code of practices, call
It an epoch-making agreement.
In fine, the meat Industry takes
a stand against secret rebates, se
cret concessions or secret ; allowr
ances; ' attempts to obscure the
price at which goods are sold or
to, discriminate unduly among the
buyers; and against attempts to
get business by giving premiums
or coupons with packing house
products, and "guaranteeing cus
tomers against market declines or
advances. , ' :-;.'.? -
It insists that goods not.be sold
below a reasonable market value
f of the purpose of injuring a com
petitor, and that no unwarranted
attempt be made to evade the ful
fillment of an agreement to pur
chase or sell or o receive or de
liver goods.
The code forbids misleading
statements concerning the grade,
quality, condition, Quantity, na
ture, origin or preparation of any
packing house product, and - de
famatory -or untrue statements
concerning a competitor, his bus

Elmer' Miller, for nearly 25 years
state predatory animal hunter,
made a particularly proper and
spectacular gesture on 'the eye of
his resignation, of nearly a life
time In hunting down cougars In
the underbrush of southwestern
Oregon. & x "
Miller bagged five Of the wily
cats, killing three In .one day,
hung up his rifle and called it a
Job well done. So did the state
game commission.
Miller, born and reared in Cur
ry county on a farm along the
Pistol river, knows the hills like
an open book, for he has hunted
in them t since boyhood. He has
killed so many mountain lions
that he can't begin to estimate
the exact- number. In" one '- six
months period last year he killed
10.
The hunter's reports, short and
sharp, bore a wealth of huatinc
material. One stated! "Left mr
raneh for Oak Grove at 7 o'clock
in -the morning. Rover picked up
cougar trail ana treed female.
Prince treed female, Ring and Ro
ver treed eougar." That was all.
but It Indicated how Millef work
ed and how his record far all
predatory hunters in the state
stood alone. ,.

(A. J. Ma thl, for Si y"r proprietor

torecaat of the fruit industry in the
RiImii tprritorr.) .
- The fruit Industry Is gradually
trending ' toward more substan
tial profits for the grower. ,The
return of prunes to ji fair .price
has' helped materially to bring
about ' this situation. We . find
that Jhe profits are very good on
walnuts, cherries, filberts,
prunes,- peaches and pear.
Considering the quality, of . our
soil,' our climate, along with the
facilities- for canning fruits, I
believe the-.. Willamette . valley
will -become 'famous throughout
the ' United States, for 'the fine
quality . of her fruits and nuts
Practically speaking-? we are Just
starting In . the industry. It was
during the war and since that we
found .ihe, demand - for onr. pro-ducts-and'this
demand 'IS grow
ing ail the time. ,
v Naturally the growers In . the
community have many obstacles
to overcome and will continue
to have them until they cooper
ate in growth g good frait, with
careful attention xto spraying,
pruning and quality of stock set
out. r Above all else the growers
must . cooperate Jn Z advertising
Oregon produce. Through the la
beling of Oregon . fruit as such
the public will be quick to de
mand Oregon fruit when buying.
This demand for our products
will naturally bring about steady
profits and satisfaction for the
growers. - .

Machine Age Gives Leisure
For Finer, Nobler Life' for
, Americans, Says Expert
Predicting an American re
naissance in which the present
trend of life will be regenerated
and "lifted out of the turmoil of
confusion," Henry James For
man, in an article to be publish
ed in the January Pictorial Re
view, declares that American
women, given?' absolute ' leisure
by the development of the ma
chine age, will bring about . a
finer, nobler life for herself, her
husband and her children. .
The former magazine editor
and author of "The Captain of
His Soul." "The- Endaan ted Gar
den," and other books--- declares
that, far from being the - bogy
some people picture- ft as being,
the machine age will make the
employment of - leisure - woman's
problem of problems "the most
agreeable 'problem: ever present
ed to womanhood, since, the Gar
den of Edea." He says, in part:
"As one dM one the old super
stitions are laid aside, exploded,
laughed , out of . court, we . create
new bogies to take their place.
Just -new it is- tnemachine age.
It will enslave us, we hear; it
will be the final death-blow to
our civilization; It will mechan
ize us deprive us Of souls. In
the end we shall all be a race of
machine-tenders slaves.
"Now the truth 1s there has al
ways been . a machine age ever
since man became inventive. The
wheel, the loom, the printing
press, the steam engine, the dy
namothe .machine, . In short,
has always been of the most tre
mendous help to us, or we would
not have gone on inventing It.
And Its recent, almost fabulous.
development is of supreme inter
est to all of us, and especially to
women. To women because stead
ily, it is freeing them, and will
free, them yetmora. completely,
from the last vestiges of their
age-long snbjection-io' drudgery.
"Never,. In all (hjatory, have
American women ' stood on the
j
CHRISTMAS. .. i then what?
We have had an unusually good year We have sold a lot ct merchandise
and as the time for taking inventory approaches, we find, a number, of odda
and ends in our stock that must be disposed of. To do this we are offering
exceptional values throughout our entire store. Here are few:

verge of so much freedom and
leisure. But few, comparatively,
have been able-to bring them
selves pass over that - verge. " So
take it all in ail, in the light of a
long chain-of precedents, -the tre
mendous struggle of : women
from' the most - primitive drudgery,-
vhen shewas cook, house
keeper,' spina'er, wearer, and
beast of burden, as well as moth
er and wife, Is very nearly at an
end. Why tken, dees . she jhee
tate?- - , ." ' .:-
. "The answer , seems to be habit
habit! ingrained during a mil
lion i years. The 5 point of r the
whole; matter is. ; not only has
wosnan nothing to fear from; the
machine age; but for her " own.
and. her family's sake she. had
better welcome' it with open arms
and as speedily as possible .
"So soon as woman has ac
cepted the machine and its age
she will be- ready for her jsext
grear step:- nothing else than
to indicate to mankind to in
grain to breed Into it the
right use of. leisure. For, how
ever much leisure the American
woman now possesses, compared
with her grandmother,- she will
soon have infinitely more. In the
Tery near future the employment
of that leisure will be the prob
lem of Z problems the most
agreeable, problem ever present
ed to womanhood since the Gar
den of. Eden. And just as surely
as women are completely freed,
they will think even more boldly,
farther Into the future.

cent according. to the December
summary of the Federal-state
