shal N. Dana, associate editor ol
the Oregon Journal of Portland,
was the- principal speaker ,ot the
evening at the meeting of the
chamber of commerce at the St.
Lake's community hall Wednes
day evening.
Following the excellent din
ner prepared and served by the
ladies of the St. Luke's parish,
president of the chamber, W. H.
Balllie, presided over the business
session. Eugene Courtney, chair
man of the roads committee re
ported that the Killen bridge
road was completec and open to
travel and asked that as many as
possible of the members of the
chamber drive out and see the
territory which this road taps.
George Keyes, chairman of the

meeting turned over the balance
after the expenses of the meet
ing were paid to the secretary to
be at the disposal of the group.
The meeting time for the ensu
ing meetings of the year will be

give the men additional time to
get their spring work finished
and attend the meetings.
. A delegation from the Portland
Gag and Coke company was pres
ent and introduced and a. member
of the delegation thanked the ci
tlsens of Woodburn, through the
chamber, for then cooperation
with the company lu their recent
project to get gas to the residents
of the city.
Pep Company Thanked
A vote of thanks was extended
to the Portland Electric Power
company for lighting the com
munity Christmas tree and upon
the suggestion of one of the mem
bers "a committee consisting of H.
T. Butterfield, John Hunt and J.
I. Shorey was appointed to make
arrangements for getting a pic
ture taken' of the next meeting
and sending it to several of the
valley papers for publication.
Dana Introduced
The speaker of the evening was
Introduced by Eugene Courtney.
Mr. Dana gave an exceptionally
well-presented and instructive
talk on his trip to New Zealand to
investigate dairy conditions in
that country and to bring back
the secrets of their success for the
use of our Oregon dairymen. His
excursion was due to the efforts
of Mrs. C. S. Jackson, who recog
nized the possibility of gaining
Insight to the success of these
people, and under the supervision
of the .Oregon Journal. He com
pared New Zealand to Oregon in
the respect of population, area and
length of life as practically the
same yet New Zealand reaps 70
million more dollars annually
from the dairy industry than does
Oregon with many advantages in
or location and climate.
One of the big advantages that
Oregon has over New Zealand is
a closer market. New Zealand's
market is on the opposite side of
the earth, 12,000 miles away and
vet in the London market they
rank equally with Denmark
which is approximately 24 hours
distance in comparison. One of
the chief reasons for this is the
high quality of the butter. This
ts made possible through the
compulsory butter grading pro
ject and the better prices given
the producer for the .higher grade
f butter fat.
The principal way in which
the higher grade of butter fat is
obtained is through the efforts
f the government dairy instruc
tor who helps the dairyman get
the best results from his pastures
and cattle.
Reasons For Prosperity
There were four great reasons
why New Zealand is such a pros
perous dairy country, the first
because of the even amount of
rainfall throughout the year,
second, because of the linking of
science with agriculture in the
se of super phosphate fertilizer
n the pasture land, third, the ro
tation of grazing paddocks and
fourth, the compulsory grading
system.
As the soil naturally is in New
Zealand, it would produce noth
ing of obnoxious plants, mainly
ferns and similar weeds. This' is
elliminated by dividing the large
farms into different paddocks,
rotating the grazing in order that
the ferns will not have a chance
to crow and fertilization. This
te accomplished by burning over
in ground, then seeding the field
to grass and turning the cattle in
on it immediately, thus they eat
of the tender shoots of fern and
give the grass a chance to take
root. After the grass is started
they are turned Into' "walk
through' shed where they are
milked and turned into another
paddock.
"This process is repeated each
day and in this manner by the
time the cattle are turned in on
the first pasture, it has bad ap
proximately 15 days for the grass
t start growing- in. The New
Zealand dairymen maintain that
through actual experience they
iave discovered, that short, new
rjun is considerably more nour--ihlng
than long grass. .They
nso grass, fpr feed entirely, be-,
'ante they can can raise nothing
ilse. They Introduce the disease
: esisting elements found in other
. sedi into the grass through
'lemlcal . fertilizers and have
.Md success with this method.

ture entirely and are protected
only by the extremely high hedges
which surround the farms.
It is through the cooperative
organization and friendly compe
tition that the high grade of dairy
products have been produced and
the spirit of organization so pre
valent throughout the country
receives due credit for the pros
perousness of that section.
As a result of his efforts, Mr.
Dana- haa returned to Oregon with
a list of valuable suggests which
he is putting before the dairymen
of this state in a series of articles
for the Journal and he believes
that in a short time scientific
dairying will put Oregon on the
map in this field.
At the conclusion of Mr. Dana's
talk, several members of the
chamber spoke briefly on his sub
ject and minor business was
transacted. ,
The committee for the next
meeting will be Blaine McCord,

Patricia McDonald to Ap
pear in Unique Program
At Auditorium
MONMOUTH, Feb. 20. Patri
cia McDonald, booked on a long
transcontinental tour, will appear
in the auditorium of the' Oregon
Normal school at 8 p. m., Wednes
day, February 26, bringing a
wealth of songs of the -Danube and
Vistula in ballads and folk tunes,
charmingly accentuated by color
ful native costumery. Her costume
collection is said to be extraordi
nary, not only in uniqueness, but
in the complete accessory details
of boots, scarfs, jewelry, laces,
etc. According to her own state
ments it look lawlessness to ob
tain some of them, which because
of age and rarity were not cup
posed to leave their native lands.
An unusual feature of Miss Mc
Donald's presentation is her idea
of introducing herongs in little
monologues, word pictures, which
gives episodes in the lives of just
such types as they are derived
from. This outlines a natural
background, which the costumes
amplify.
Miss McDonald is the daughter
of Pierre McDonald, who for many
years was president of the New
York Rotary, and recognized as
the "Photographer of Men." Pat
ricia McDonald received her col
lege degree and Phi Beta Kappa
at Radcliffe, and the University
Of Chicago.
Although having planned a
scientific career, and prepared for
it at college, she abandoned it for
the artistic after visiting Prague,
and becoming fascinated with the
music of the country. She has
spent years in research, intensive
and prolonged, into the remote re
gions of the Balkan countries.
where she studied the music and
customs of the people. Many more
years were required to translate
and perfect her "finds," and re
create them into ber "show," as
she gives it on this tour.
