for a' new industry.

for both the highest average butter
fut production and the largest num
ber of houor cows that yield 40 or
more pounds of fat per month. .The
average yield of fat for the 230 cows
of this association was 2G.34 pounds,
ii nd the number of cows passing the
40-pound mark was 25.
The entire number "of cows tested
in February was 1502, and their av
erage fat production was 22.80
pounds, reports K. B. Fltts, federal
and agricultural college extension

yield of milk of all association cows
was 533 only 20 pounds less than
the average yield of the Rogue River
association, which produced more
than twice the average fat yield.
One hundred aud seven cows made

Rex Undemood. director of-th.i
orchestra, has taken great pains In
working out the progrum, to make It
interesting u everyone. One it his
pet sayings is: "Everybody likes
music It it is only giveu to him right."
So he always tries to make good his
saying by putting something for ev
erybody Into the concert, lu til"
Ashland concert he is going to even
u greuter extreme than usual, for
the listeners aro to have u choice for
one of the full orchestra uunihers be
tween "Dance of the Hours," from
Ponnielli's "La tiiucoRdu," and the
selection from "Kutiuka." by Ru
dolph Friinl.
The first named is ballet nunir
from the opera. It is composed (in'
the in oh I part of very melodious mel
odies lu which the (lutes, violins and
cellos have the leading parts. Tin'
first part is light' and delicate. At
the end, however, th,e full power of
the orchestra is used.
"Kutlnks" Is' of a lighter nature.
Frimt, the composer, is well known
as the composer of "The Firefly" and
"High Jinks," two ot the most melo
dious musical productions that h.iv.i
