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.

Dec. 40"i, and rye to cent
lower, Dec. A2. Soy beans were

day was the last day of trading in

firm undertone In a mixed trade.

mission house pressure while oats

Union of Churches
For Lasting Peace
London, Dec. 21 (U.R) Heads of
the Protestant and Roman Catho
lic churches in Great Britain put
forward Joint proposals today for
the consideration of statesmen af
ter the war to insure a real and last
ing peace.
They Joined their own five pro
posals, aimed at social and econo
mic equality and justice, with five
which Pope Pius offered last Christ'
mas even, suggesting that together
they would provide for lasting
peace.
The association of the churches,
including the established Church of
England of which King George is
supreme head, was believed to be
without precedent in a gesture of
the sort.

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.
