But their herd was 1 still presented with six certifi cates for registered Jerseys pro ducing 3000 pounds of butterfat. The certificates covered the past five years. Neal Miller of Woodburn also won six certificates on the same classification. A large number of Jersey breeders Saturday recalled Neal s father. Sidney Miller, for mer president of the club and one of Oregon's staunch breeders a decade ago. MAT. DAILY FROM 1 T. M.

In many $tates "Highway Barrier Laws" are up before the legislators for consideration. Temporarily sus pended for the "duration" because they wasted time . . . impeded pro duction . . . raised prices . . . they automatically go back on the books. Unless you vole vigorous protest! WHO WANTS THIM IACKT The answer is certain "special in terests". If they get their way you're the loser. These laws, whether they concern your state or neighboring states, punish you by penalizing vital truck transport. Everything you eat, wear, buy or use is affected when truck traffic is slowed down or stopped. Production decreases! Prices rise ! United public opinion, resolutions passed by civic and busi ness organizations and newspaper comment ALL will help banish these selfish laws! 74 or TMI aouirtr received alive at Chicago arrives by truck. 100 of the milk for 49 large cities and 40 of fruits, vegetables for out largest cities are all rushed by highway.
