Leth Going East Fcr Jersey Trip Takes Agent To Large Breeders Of FmestiCattle I W. C Leth( western director of the American Jersey Cattle club, is leaving Mondjay for an extended business trip that win take him to a number of different cities in the United States and to several Jersey breeding establishments. The regular quarterly directors meeting, which will be held in New York on March 8 and 7, win be attended by Leth. On the way to New York he plans to visit the famous Bandleigh farm herd at Lockport, New York, and the Ira . Payne herd at East Shodack, New .York. The Randleigh farm herd is well known in Oregon as a number of Oregon Jerseys have been pur chased by W. R. Kenan, Jr., owner. One of the most recent purchases was that of Sybil Tessie Lorna, triple national record holder,from the L." A. Hulburt farm at Inde pendence at a price of $5,200. This farm conducts a very extensive re search program and is especially noted for its large number of high production records. Well Known Herd t The Payne herd has been widely known as having consistently had over 500 pounds of fat production for many years, and has had the distinction of having the highest scoring herd for type classified in the United States. Mr. Leth's trip will then take him to St. Albans, Vermont, where he will farm herd which has had the high est national record in the Jersey breed for production of herds with over 100 cows. This herd has con sistently produced over 500 pounds ef fat per cow a year which is ex ceedingly high for such a large " herd. It is owned by E. S. Brig ham of Montpelier,, Vermont. From there, a day will be spent in Montreal, and the return trip home will be made by way of Chi cago and Los Angeles, where a number of Jersey breeders will be visited and several meetings at tended which have not been def tnitely scheduled as yet Following a six-day stay in Cal ifornia. Leth will return home about March 20. On the trip he will investigate prospective breeding stock for ome Polk county and other Ore gon breeders in some of the herds at expects to visit. t ' ' "V" T J "H n v : i Ncths. and Vaeim of Farm and Garden Or ULIJE I- MADSEN' A Pen of Edrkers il Hi 111, Iit.nl u wmwiiiMu i 1 1 w p., j- ,i In Salem Markets !

The new core test meth od of determining wool shrinkage was' endorsed and the college was asked to establish a wool testing laboratory along the lines of the present seed-testing service.

At five months old the lot weighed 1280 pounds and he was paid $197.76 for them. During the five-month period he fed them 810 gallons of skim milk at $32.40, 2570 pounds of grain at $82.50, making a total of $140.48. . The pigs gained an average of 1.4 pounds a day all through the period, eating about three pounds a day. They were kept in pens during the five months, thus not using any pasture land.

Crow, well- known western farm writer. Livestock production in gener al, says Muhs, will be about the same as produced in 1944. al- reducuon of five per cent in milk cows on farms is seen. Shortage of help and extremely high feed costs, Muhs says, are the reasons. Turkey growers are increasing production at least 25 per cent above the 1944 produc tion' which makes a total of 250,- 000 turkeys in addition to the 1944 ! production. The most serious re duction is the number of brood sows on the farms to date. Rec ords of 25 Yamhill farmers show ed -that less than 25 per cent as By the Rural Reporter j many brood sows were on the iarm as compared to a year ago.
