FACTS GATHERED BY
STATE 1 Mil
Statistics on the dairy industry
with special reference to tho 11 west
ern states was the subject of a re
cent conferenc at Corvallis by repre
sentatives of the state college exten
sion service and the federal depart
ment of agriculture. Plans for a re
port were worked out by directors of
the extension service In these states,
.and the work is in charge of Byron
Hunter and R. J, Dawson of the fed
eral bureau of economics, present at
the conference.
Development of a sound program of
dairy extension with government as
sistance in researcn is the purpose
of the movement. Investigations show
that 4 per cent more cows and heif
ers are now kept in this country for
mint than in lstzu. In the Pacific and
mountain states the increase is 14
per cent and 21 per cent, respectively.
Increase in population, however, has
likewise Deen greater Jn those re
gions. There is a significant difference be
tween the country as a whole and the
western states, say the investigators,
in the number of dairy heifers raised
for tne united states only 87 per
cent as many hellers as In 1920 are
kept while in the western states there
are about 120 per cent.
The report gives data on dairy
stock in relation to population, pro
duction of milk per cow by districts,
percentage of pure bred bulls, num
ber of pure bred cattle by breeds,
statistics on tuberculosis, number of
bulltesting and cowtesting associa
tions, use of milk itemized for man
ufacture, household and other pur
poses, and production, export and
import of milk products by countries.
Representatives of the college who
were present at the conference were
P. V. Maris, director of extension, P.
M. Brandt, chief of the dairy depart
ment and C. J. Hurd, N, C. Jamison,
R S. BesBe and L. R. Breithaupt, ex
tmsion specialists.
KEEPING WELL
IN COLD WEATHER
State Board of Health.
Every year Just as regularly as the
change of seasons causes people to
close their windows, diseases ot the
air passages such as common cold,
bronchitis, tonsilitis and pneumonia,
begin to show marked increase. The
reason of this is plain. With the win
dows open we get a circulation of
fresh air containing a sufficient quan
tity of moisture or humidity, as it is
called. But with the windows closed,
unless care is taken to secure proper
ventilation, the air of the house Boon
becomes vitiated and unfit to breathe.
Moreover, there an modern methods
of heating. The air soon becomes a
great deal dryer than the air of the
desert. This dry nir takes the mois
ture from the nose and throat and
bronchial tubes, irritating these sur
faces so that they are not in a con
dition to repell any disease organism
that may be inhaled or taken into the
mouth. Then in addition to the dif
ficulty of living under these condi
tions which make us more susceptible
to throat and nose disorders, in cold
weather we are much more apt to go
into close, unventilated, crowded
halls, theaters and street cars, and
thus get infected from other people
especially when they cough and
sneeze at us.
To avoid these cold weather dis-
easesLwe should try to approach sum
mer conditions as near as possible,
First of all, we should ventilate our
houses regularly and systematically.
One window open a few inches at the
bottom to let the fresh air in and an
other open a few inches at the top to
iet the foul air out will do wonders
in keeping the air fresh. If the rooms
are not so arranged that this can be
done without creating a draft, try
opening several windows or a door for
Feveral minutes twice a day. Always
be sure to sleep with your chambei
window open wide at night and thor
oughly air your room in the morning.
rropably the greatest fault of mod
ern houses is the lack of any provis
ion for furnishing tiumidity or mois
ture to the air during the time we
i re using artificial heat. With the
old-fashioned coal range or air-tight
stove, it was possible to keep a ket
tle of water steaming most of the
time. Today, with steam and hot
water heat, the problem is a difficult
one, and even with the hot air fur
nace, the water pot is usually inade
quate in size. But moisture in the
air you must have if you want to
avoid dry, irritated throats. Remem
ber also, that moist air at sixty-eight
degrees feels warmer than dry air at
seventy-two, so by finding a way to
humidify the air of your home, you
will not only be advancing your
health but lowering your coal bill.
Don't forget to take brisk daily
out-door exercise to keep well in cold
weather. Only a few of the lower
animals such as the bear can success
fully hibernate. Keep well in cold
weather by breathing fresh, moist
air both asleep and awake, by getting
plenty of exercise, and by avoiding,
in so far as possible, inhaling or tak
ii.g to the mouth, nose discharges of
others.
FARM REMINDERS
A careful, systematic culling of the
poultry flock will not transform poor
ly housed, lousy, crowded and improp
erly fed hens into high producers,
says H. E. Cosby, extension special
ist in poultry husbandry, in a new
bulletin on culling just issued. Cull
ing is profitable only when the flock
has and will continue to receive uni
form and sensible care.

ly satisfactory.
More than three million acres of
wheat in this country were seeded
last year with grain treated for smut
by the dry, copper carbonate method,
the experiment station finds. The in
creased popularity of this method in-
troduced only five years ago is due
tc the almost perfect protection and
lack of injury to the seed resulting
from its use.
More potato seed sotck in Oregon
is injured by feeing stored in moist,
poorly ventilated bins or pits than by
chilling, finds the experiment station.
Sound, smooth, dry, sizeable potatoes,
preferably from hill selected and
nearly disease-free fields, will give
seed stock of exceptional quality ca
pable of producing good yields.
Eastern Oregon Normal
Oregon City Enterprise.
We, west of the Cascades, are be
ing brought more nearly into touch
with our eastern Oregon neighbors
daily. Their interests are becoming
ours; ours have long been theirs. In
all lines of human activity industry,
finance, commerce, education our in
terests should be united. In educa
tional matters we have given too lit
tle recognition to the requirements
ot the great counties lying east of
the Cascades. We in the Willamette
and other western valleys have the
universities, colleges and normal
schools.
The bill authorizing establishment
of a normal school in eastern Ore
gon, outlined in the voters' pamphlet,
comes up for decision in November. It
should have cordial support. The
present normal schools are at Mon
mouth and Ashland. The old normal
at Drain was discontinued and the
present Ashland school is attracting
large numbers of students. This,
however, does not afford convenience
of access to those who live in east
ern Oregon. They are now obliged
to come to one of the western normal
schools for training, and many of
them cannot afford it.
Herbert Hoover visualizes the great
future of the Columbia basin. Pro
vision must be made for the increas
ing demand in an educational way.
It is not too much to expect in future
several institutions of higher learn
ing placed in favorable positions in
the counties of Oregon's inland em
pire. But the present need of a nor
mal for the people east of the Cas
cades is so vital, so firmly predicated
on their rights and on economic basis
that the measure proposed should
have a large majority for passage.
Elevation of the intellectual stand
ards should accompany all develop
ment of natural resources. In the
picture of the future, eastern Oregon
stands in prominent view. Portland
and western Oregon have been ac
cused of "hogging it all." Let us
show our friends on the. borders of
the Columbia and Snake that we have
their interests at heart.

The Fall
Buying Season
Is Here
M.
AIL ORDER catalogues are in the hands of Mrs.
Housewife throughout Morrow County, and their pictures are
creating a desire to buy. Probably, even now, order blanks
have been made out and goods are on their way.
How is it possible for mail order houses, hundreds of
miles away, to sell goods to Morrow County people? By no
other means than advertising systematic and intelligent
advertising.
It isn't that mail order house goods are any better. They
are not. Nor are their prices lower, quality considered. But
the mail order man places his goods on display before Mrs.
Housewife at her leisure. A desire is created and the goods
are bought.
Mr. Local Merchant, you can do the same thing through
the columns of this newspaper or by direct mail advertising.
You have as good bargains as the mail order house. You can
show the goods before they are bought. You have the edge
on the mail order man in every respect. You give credit and
you need this cash trade. You can have it by beating Mr.
Mail Order Man at his own game.
Good Advertising Doesn't Cost
