C. L. Griggs, Tester.
That April was an extremely fa
vorable month for high production in
dairy herds of Coqs county is Shown
by th« April report of the Coquille
Valley Cow Testing Association. Of
637 head of cows tested during the
month of April in thia association
white includes territory along the Co
quille river from Gravel Ford to the
ocean, 328 head exceeded 40 1b of
butterfat for th« month. The aver
age production for the month wa»
40.2 pounds of butterfat.
Seven cows in the Association ex
ceeded the 70 pound butterfat man
These were led by Pearl, a grade Jer
sey cow owned by P. E. Bartlett, of
the Catching Creek district near Myr
tle Point, who made 78.6 pounds of
butterfat during the period. Second
place was Won by Lee Evans* grade
Jersey, 'Brownie, who produced 75.5
pounds of butterfat.
Other cows
from this heavy producing Bear
Creek herd making more than 70
pounds were Annie, 74.7 pounds anti
Spot, 71.0 pounds.
w
Bossie, another grade Jersey,jOwn
ed by Fred Sell, at Riverton, was
third high cow for the month with
75.2 pounds of fat. Lucy, of Green
Acres, a registered Jersey from the
S. S. Reed herd at Myrtle Point, pro
duced 71.8 pounds of fat, making her
the high purebred cow for the asso
ciation.
J. C. Strong, of Myrtle Point, also
owned a 70 pound produoer,' his grade
Jersey, Pinky, making 70.7 pounds of
fat.
A npw herd in the association, came
in for honors for the month, when the
herd of 21 grade Jerseys owned by
Charles Sell at Riverton led the herds
having more than 20 cows with the
high average production of 50.9
pounds of butterfat.
Lee Evans, of Bear Creek, again
led the division of the association

of grade and registered Jerteys in
his herd averaging 60.6 ponuds.
“April seems to be about what
May was to the dairymen last year,"
says C. L. Griggs, tester for the as
sociation.
“Pastures were of fine
quality and there was no bad weath.-
•r during the period.”

Marshfield
One hectic inning, the seventh, en-
«bled Coquille to win its second, suc
cessive game from Marsntield last
Sunday, uie score ueing 6 to 4.
Sutherland, for uie visitors, had
oeen getting ny in good siiape until
that time, with only uve hits and one
run made on his twirling. At that he
had uean lucky, for in the fourth Co
quille had three men on, with only
one out, and could not score.
But in the lucky seventh Sutherland
blew up. Richmond, first up, hit
through the infield to center. 'Bon
ney was safe when Mike Burke jug
gled his grounder. Davis took one in
the ribs and Zosel got the same treat
ment, Pullord being forced in.. That
settled Mr. Sutherland.
Fourtier, Marshfield heàver, had
been sick u.ul was not in uniform, but
when Suuierland was yanked, he
started in wuh his civilian clothes on.
Bill Fortier wouldn’t stand for it, so
.thè game was delayed about 20 min
utes while the Marshfield players ran
around in circles and Fourtier got in
to uniform. And all this time three
Coquille runners clogged the bases. -
In order not to delay the game too
long, Lonnie Frye threw one ball to
Dey and when he stepped out in favor
of Fourtier after the one heave, Man
ager Bill Fortier entered a protest
that he had to pitch until Dey was put
out or reached first. Inasmuch as Co
quille won, the protest was not filed.
With the resumption of the game,
Dey forced Zosel at second, Bonney
scoring on the play.
With two on and one out Ding Mul
ligan picked out one just to his liking
and knocked it clear over the hill in
right field. Three more runs, or a to
tal of five for the inning.
“Penny” Studivant hit a hot one to
right, went to second on a passed baU,
stole third when Frye let a throw get
away from him but was caught at the
plate by a quick throw from Frye.
“Gillie” ended th$ frame by striking
out.
Dey, of Myrtle Point, did the Co-

A Stranger Notices
That we have found eight Protes
tant churches in Coquille and attend
ed service« in a majority of them.
That in not one have we seen a
real congregation.
That not one has a building such
as ond would expect to find in a town
like Coquille.
That in all of them the y
.pie were conspicuous by
sence.
That when the Christian people of
any town are divided into so many
parts their influence is correspond
ingly weakened.
That if all the money and effort
required to keep these separate
churches going were applied to one
Community church it would be pos
sible to erect a church building that
would really reflect the glory of God
and to have in it a congregation that
would be an inspiration to any minis
ter.
That the influence of such a church
could not help being felt throughout
the life of the entire community and
it would not be necesiAry to have
three revivals going almost simultan
eously to stir up a little enthusiasm.
That it is useless to say that it
can’t be done for there are many
places where it is being done through
out the United States and Canada.
That the difference of opinion are
not so great that they can not be ov
ercome. A lot was prejudice to begin
with and after all we are «11 bound
for the same place.
That if all the people up and down
the Willamette Valley had insisted on
traveling into Portland each by his
own particular road which for some
reason, real or fancied, he considered

in time they would all have reached

a highway that is of benefit to all

of reaching their destination.

O. A. C. Tournament May 29
Walter Paulson, of Coquille, and
WallaCS T. Miller, of Arago, will be
entered in the fourteenth annual Mil
itary tournament at O. A. C. May 29.

rected by Lieutenant Oakley G. Kelly,
America’s premier long-distance fly
ing ace, will be an outstanding fea
ture of the program. It Will include

Coquille’s run in the third was
scored by Bonney. Pulford, who made
three hits out of four times up, had
singled, but was out at second on an
infield hit by Bonney.
The latter
scored when Otto Davis crashed a
three bagger into deep center.
Two singles ^nd two errors gave
Marshfield two runs in the first and
two doubles, a single and an error
gave them two more in the sixth.
Gilbert relieve/! Zosel in the seventh
and the visitor« did not get a hit off
his delivery.
There was a crowd of nearly 400 in
attendance, a lot of them being from
the Bay.
North Bend took Bandon into camp
last Sunday—so all three teams are
bunched with two wins and one loss.
Marshfield has lost three.
