Old Dobbin Fast Disappearing On Farms in Oregon Poor old Dobbin, much rever ed horse of fact, fiction and fan tasy, has really gone away to stay and is aparently not going to make a comeback in Oregon, re veals Berton E. Black, extension statistician a t OSC. During the past decade, the num ber of horses and mules In Oregon has declined 42 percent. Black, in the agricultural econo mics extension departm ent, de clares in a new bulletin entitled, "Oregon’s Specialty Animal In dustries, 1936 to 1946.” Most of the equine anim als are found in eastern Oregon counties w here a m ajority of them are saddle horses ifsed in the livestock in dustry. N um ber of horses and mules totaled only 95,000 on J a n uary 1, 1947, as compared with 165,000 in 1936. Light horses alone are on the increase. These statistics are in the new booklet which includes data on such Oregon speciality industries as farm saired foul & game, goats and m ohair, rabbits for meat, apiary products and fish and sea food in addition to some other miscellaneous listings. The volume of farm m arketings for the entire group am ounted to about $11,000,000 in 1943, the last year that totals are available. Mink and fox num bers declin ed during the period 1940 to 1945. It is significant, however, that re ceipts from farm m arketing for fox and mink furs and breeding stock totaled $1,485,000 In 1945, or 55 percent more than in 1942. Income from the fishing industry came to $7,781,000 from a catch of 70,289,000 pounds In 1943 as compared to a value of $1,995,000 from 57,741,000 pounds in 1936.

Moore Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; I he stockings were hrfhg by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And Mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap— When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the m atter. , Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow', Gave a luster of mid-day to objects below; • When, what to my wondering eyes should appear. But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, 1 knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: "Now, Dasher; now', Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blitzen— To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall! Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!” As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So, up to the house-top the coursers they flew. With a sleigh full of toys- -and St. Nicholas too. And then in a twinglmg I heard on the roof, The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As 1 drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St, Nicholas came with a bound. 1 Ic was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back. And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack. His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His chocks were like roses, his nose like a cherry; His drool little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; I he stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath. He had a broad face, and a little round belly, That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly, lie was chubby and plump— a right jolly old elf; And 1 laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. 1 Ic spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,« And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose. H e sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle. And away they all flew like the down of a thistle; But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, 'H APP Y CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALI A GOOD N IG H T !” Christm as vacations find the Southern Oregon College facul ty leaving for rests, visits and conferences all over the country.
