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.

Fourteen were present.
Mrs. A. B. Chaffee was surprised to
have a number of her friends walk in
unexpectedly Thursday, July 21, to
help commemorate her birthday. 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.

land on business.
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

The occasion was his 12th birthday.

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

At the regular quarterly meeting of

NET INCOME OF FARMS.
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.
