PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1927. BOARDMAN Boardman friends were pleased to see A. W. Cobb who came the latter part of the week to hobnob with old friends. Mr. Cobb formerly owned the M. Mulligan ranch and was one of the early settlers on the project. He has traveled over much territory since his last visit here, having been to California, Canada,' the Yakima country and more recently at Enter prise and the Wallowa country. Mr. Cobb was astonished at the growth of the trees on the project, racalling so vividly when this was a treeless des ert waste and the trees were set out as small slips. While in California Mr. Cobb visited with Mr. Star.nion whom many Boardman people knew, who died at his home in Santa Rjsa June 29 of a paralytic stroke. Mr. Stannion was ditch rider preceding Dan Ransier. Mr. Cobb found condi tions about the same every place. His many friends are always glad to see Mr. Cobb and welcome his visits. W. A.

The party was hastily planned Wednesday evening while she was absent at Irrl gon, but twenty-nine were present and enjoyed the afternoon in spite of the intense heat. Mrs. Chaffee was showered with many lively handker chiefs. Punch and wafers were serv ed. The success of the party was due to the efforts of Mesdames Fortier, Johnson, Ballenger and Price.

Lee Mead has completed a new garage opposite the station at Mess ner. While Boardman folks haven't been frying eggs on pavements during the hot spell, we do have a couple of egg yarns to relate. The one incident occurred after the first cutting when Glen Hadley's hay was stacked too soon and burned. A hen decided that the top of the stack was a most de sirable place for a nest and proceed ed therewith to fulfill her destiny. The heat from the sun above and the stack beneath proceeded to cook the eggs nicely as the men discovered when the nest was found. The other yarn: A hen had a nest in the coal bin at the Hereim ranch. Friday one egg was left in the nest during the day. The next morning said egg was found to be practically cooked. We can vouch for the authenticity of the yarns. A most delightful party was given Saturday by Mrs. C. S. Calkins for her grandson Dwight Calkins of Spokane who is spending the summer njre. The occasion was his 12th birthday. Croquet was played and later qunnti ties of ice cream were consumed by children and grownups, as well as the birthday cake and cookies.

Improving Dairy Herd Through Cooperatives Every dairy herd needs a high-class bull at its head if the herd is to be improved, says the United States De partment of Agriculture. For the d liryman who has a small herd and is short on finances, the cheapest and best way to obtain the use of first class purebred buls is through the work of a cooperative dairy-bull as sociation. A bull association is a farmers' or ganization whose chief purpose is the breeding of better dairy cows through joint ownership, use, and systematic exchange of prepotent dairy bulls of high-producing ancestry. Improve ment of the herd that may be expect ed through membership in such an organization is discussed in Farmers' Bulletin 1532-F, "Dairy-Herd Im provement Through Cooperative Bull Associations," just issued by the Bu rea uof Dairy Indusrty, United States Department of Agriculture. Through the system of transferring bulls from block to block, the bull association makes it possible to keep the desirable bulls as long as they live or are fit for service. This en able a bull's daughter to come in milk and be tested while he is still owned by the association, and fur nishes a means of determining which bulls are siring the high-producing daughters. The bulls that do not get satisfactory daughters are disposed of. A study of the records of the daugh ters of bull-association bulls showed an average yearly mature production of 8.071 pounds of milk and 342 pounds of butterfat. In milk produc tion the daughters excelled the dams by 13.5 per cent and in butterfat pro duction by 14.4 per cent. Some of the sires are very outstanding. . One sire, for instance, was mated with cows having an average yearly but terfat production of 347 pounds, yet his seven daughters from these cows excelled their dams by 57 per cent in milk production and 44 per cent in production of butterfat. Much progress has been made by selecting bulls on the records of their dams and granddams. The most rap id progress can not come until dairy sires are selected on the production record of their daughters. A copy of the bulletin may be ob tained by writing to the United States department of Agriculture, Washing ton, D. C. and the obligations of outstanding bonds are met. The State Motor association went on record as having the betterment of existing highways so as to keep pace with the increased traffic demand and the removul of safety hazards so as to make the use of the highways safer. The financial condition of the state is, in a sound condition so far as highway construction is concerned and certain portions of the state have voted bonds, paid license fees and gas tax for many years on the basis that the highway program, as outlined originally, would be com pleted. Any change in the financing plan would jeopardize the fulfillment of that promise and would react against the whole highway program. "The present license fee system, while not perfect, has accomplished its purpose," said George 0. Branden burg, secretary-manager of the Ore gon State Motor association. "A fine system of highways has been con structed and the bonds are slowly but surely being retired. Not only that, but a small amount is available each year to match government mon ey and so Federal aid to the extent of one and one-quarter millions is spent on Oregon roads each year. "Why change this satisfactory con dition for an unknown quantity? Things are progressing satisfactorily along the lines planned when the bond issue was voted by the people Motor Association Wants No Change In System At the regular quarterly meeting of the board of directors, the Oregon State Motor association took a strong stand against any change in the li cense fee system until such time as the state highway program is finished Golfing Wonder Mr. and Mrs. E.

There are six and one-half million farms in the United States and their net income last year amounted to $2,750,000,000, which was eight times as great as the total for 1921. It . is estimated that at the present time 600,000 farms, nearly ten per cent of the nation's total, are using electric ity furnished either by central sta tion systems- or by home generating plants. There are 285,000 farms with central station service, and farms are being added to the rural lines of the country's transmission systems at the rate of 50,000 every year. The in stallation of electrical equipment on farms both for domestic and agricul tural purposes is an outstanding fac tor in the improved conditions of farm life and production.
