De mand for fine and Vi blood foreign Hospital Herd Breaks Record For Averages Portland, Dec. 21 The herd of registered Holsteln cattle owned by the Mornings.de hospital of Port land, Ore., Is announced as having broken the national record for high herd averages, according to the Hol steln Frleslan Association of Amer ica. This average, 19,997 pounds of milk and 683.0 pounds of butterfat, Is 17 '4 pounds of fat higher than the former mark of 665.5 pounds established by the herd of Lee E. Gale of Mecosta, Mich. The herd of nine cows produced a total of 89,986 quarts of milk for the year, or enough to supply a city the approximate size of Salem a pint of milk for every man, wo man and child for six days. The Mornlngside hospital herd, owned by Wayne W. Coe, and man aged by Johnny Roetclsoender, con sists largely of animals whose an cestors have been bred in Oregon for more than half a century. The two top producing; members of the group trace directly to the herd of P. A. Frackes, Scappoose, Ore., founded around 1885, was brought to tins section from Holland. Gratia, Mornlngslde's phenomen al producer was featured at the last Pacific International as the dairy queen of the show. She produced an average of 45 quarts of milk each day for the entire year. She is again on test and bids to go over the 1,000 pound fat mark. The present herd sire at Morn lngside was bred by Frank Durbln of Salem. This bull's granddam produced over 1,000 pounds of but terfat, and lived to be 22 years of age. Her brother, the Johnny bull, used in the Jacob Luscher herd at Pairview, Ore., lived until he was 18 years of age, one of the longest lived bulls on record.

To day was the last day of trading in December futures. Corn futures showed a steady to firm undertone In a mixed trade. Receipts on track were estimated at 118 cars.

Orchard Grass Orders Taken Seed orders for leafy strain or chard grass for spring planting may now be placed with the county agent's office, reports W. O. Nibler, assistant county agent. These special strains, S-20 and S-143, have been selected for their leafiness and palatabillty, and abil ity to stand up under pasturing. At present there is no domestic supply of these grasses and seed must be imported at the price of 70 cents a pound. "We would like to get a small do mestic supply of these grasses so that a market may be developed." states Mr. Nibler. Since these grasses are low seed producers, It Is probable that they can most satisfactorily be grown in rows three feet apart and probably not over three pounds will be need ed to seed an acre. Anyone wishing to place an or der for some of this seed should place the order immediately with the county agent's office. Seed must be ordered from abroad at once to be available for spring planting. Date Set to Hear Pension Case Olympla. Dec. 21 (IP) Superior Judge John M.
