THE SCIO TRIBUNE 1 Vol. 29 SCIO. OREGON. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24,1925 |l,75 the Year ................. ................ -.............. - The School Bell Ring« Again For ume months now there has been a desire by many dairymen to sell their cows and go out of the dairy business altogether, some sav ing that dairying did not pay. The reason dairying dose not pay lies io most part with the dairyman, for in selecting the herd price has had the upperhand rather than production. To get the maximum, one should look to what a cow will return in dividends and not merely as to how much milk—it may be just milk, for which the returns do not pay for the feed. Just recently a jurvey of Linn county has been made to learn how many dairy cows are io the county accessible to present markets and a proposed new market—a powdered milk plant at Albany. It was found that there are enough eows to dou ble the present milk supply If they were producers instead of boarders. In response to a few questions we propounded to Porter Long and his sons. wh<> are milking 28 cosra/we lesrned that thev received from the Scio Condensery for the month of August. 1925. a check for >409. August is a dry month, when there is no grass, and Mr. Long was com pelled to use more feed. Their suc cess lies in the selection of produc ers, eliminating the ones that do not ■how a profit. Mr. Long has put study and commonsenae into hia •business and is making It pay. An other policy he follow«, ws under stand.is to stay with one concern year in and year out. and finds in this he Comes out ahead. Gerald McDonald is another local dairyman that i« making a atudy of the industry. He started In a small w«y and now has about 60 head. In August he was milking only 14 head ■nd his check from the Condensery was for $300. The average number of cows per month during the year, he says. that he milka is 30. In the industry It is also hi« policy to weed out his boarders, as they eat up the profit from the producers. He «ays his bonus this year is >260. and with the new policy of the Condensery he expects to be enriched by $600 next year, or more than >300 oyer the bonus system. Like Mr. Long, Ger ald thinks one fares better .when he slays with one concern. There are many smaller dairies in this community that probably show up as well or better than the two mentioned above. The reason is obvious. It takes longer to find the non-Droducer in the herd and elimi nate it. A cow that tests 4 or bet ter will soon pay for herself, and the pride in her ownership shows I d her keep. We do not need more cows in the county unless we can get better cows. If we can get better cows, the more we have of them the more prosperous dairymen will be.
