OREGON JERSEYS WIN IN BUTTER FAT AWARD3 In a recently compiled report of the medal award for 1920 Issued by the American Jersey Cattle Club, seventy Jersey cow completed record tor the year with a production of over 700 pounds of butterfat within the year on authenticated test. Of the ten highest records made In the year, five were made by Oregon cow with an average production of 89.38 lbs. of fat. Heading the Hat of breeder of medal winner la J. M. Dickson and son of Shedd witt seven to their credit, followed by O. O. Hewitt of Independence with four, Ed Gary of Carlton with three and O. Pickard and E. J. Farnham of Marlon with two. In the list of sires represented by medal winning daughters, Valen tine' Ashburn Baronet, the Dickson herd sire, ranks first, credited with five, Rlnda Lad of S. B.. the Hewitt trail, second with four. Poppy St. Mawe. witt two medal winners, is tied for third place with an eastern ball and St. Mawe. of Ashburn, also a Dkkson sire, is one of four in fourth place with two gold medal daughters. Golden Glow's Chief ranks fifth with one gold and one sliver medal to hi credit. Thus an Oregon bull appears In the first five place in the list of producing aire for 1920 Ten cow by reason of superior per formance, won more than one med! eact and of these, seven were Oregon Jerseys. 19 states are represented in the awarda made. Oregon cowa with only 1914 registered, represent-" Ing only four and one third of the Jersey recorded within the year, won 18 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze 6r 51 percent of all the awards made. Ohio ranked second. with 8 gold and 1 bronze Maine, third with 7 gold and 2 bronze; Massachusetts, fourth with 5 gold and 1 silver and Washington fifth with 5 gold medals. , Thia remarkable record of perfor-: ma nee places Oregon in the first rank as premier Jersey state of the Union and should act as a stimulus to still greater effort to maintain that enviable position.

They aimed to go up far enough to get clear of any others who might ccme up the river on the same errand They went a short distance above Vlda; but after they had "outepaa ned," as the Boers used to say. they found that parties wro had gone farther up kept dashing by them all through the day.
