Cream Grading Law
Pays Good Producer.
Immediate steps are .being taken
to put into effect the new Oregon
cream grading law passed by the re
cent legislature, announced J. D.
Mickle, chief of the foods and dairies
division of the state department of
agriculture, in an address over
KOAC, the state-owned station at
the state college. The new law car
ried the emergency clause and is
immediately effective without wait
ing the usual 90 days.
Oregon dairy interests have talked
and urged cream grading for years
so that producers who market a
high quality product will not be pe
nalized by practices followed in
some plants of paying a uniform
price for all butterfat received. This
is the first time, however, that pro
ducer and processing organizations
have agreed on the details of a plan
and have obtained an adequate ap
propriation for administering it, it is
explained.
The new act directs the state de
partment of agriculture to set up
reasonable grades and standards for
all cream or milk purchased, except
as milk for fluid use is already reg
ulated, and makes compulsory the
payment of at least lc higher price
per pound of butterfat for each
higher grade.
The state department has request
ed the cooperation of the dairy de
partment at Oregon State college in
examining cream graders "and issu
ing licenses to those found proficient.
Each plant will have at least one of
its men so licensed, just as is done
now with butter grading. Starting
about April 12, there will be held a
series of training schools for graders
throughout the state. Late in March
a public hearing is to be called, as
provided in the law, to consider the
detailed regulation to be set up by
the state department.
The new law also reenacts the
compulsory A, B, C, grades for but
ter which were first included in the
State AAA law and later made op
tional. Both the cream and butter
grading plans are intended to aid
the entire dairy industry through
general betterment of quality thru
out the state, thus increasing the
demand and price for Oregon's pro
ducts, says Mickle. Three full-time
inspectors are to be engaged to see
that the law is fairly and uniformly
administered throughout the state.
Dr. J. K. Weatherford, and few men
in the United States has had a long
er continuous record of service on
higher educational boards. Irvine,
then a resident of Corvallis and ed
itor of the Corvallis Times, was ap
pointed to the board of regents of
the state agricultural college in 1898.
He was elected treasurer of the board
in 1901, and except for a short in
terval, served continuously in that
capacity until the state college board
of regents was abolished in 1929 with
the creation of the unified control.
In that year he was selected by
Governor Patterson as one of the
nine original members of the unified
board of higher education, four of
whom still remain among the pres
ent membership. He was elected
treasurer of that board, serving as
such ever since.
Irvine had been a member of the
board of regents nine years when
Dr. W. J. Kerr, then president of
Utah State college, was brought to
Oregon as head of Oregon State in
1907. The entire modern develop
ment of the institution, among the
best of its kind in the United States,
has taken place under Mr. Irvine's
guidance as a member of the gov
erning board.
In 1927 he was honored by the col
lege with the honorary degree of
doctor of laws. Two years ago he
was the recipient of a testimonial
bronze bust of himself, sculptured
by Adrain Voisin, which is now per
manently located in the main lounge
of the Memorial Union building at
Oregon State.
Dr. George W. Peavy, present
president of Oregon State college,
expressed for that entire institution
the regret of all friends of education
at the retirement of Dr. Irvine.
"His vision and wise leadership
did much to make of Oregon State
college a dynamic force in this state,"
said Dr. Peavy. "The college, the
state and the thousands of young
people who have graduated from the
college are greatly indebted to him."

Irvine Ends Long
Service to Education
Continuous official but unpaid
service to Oregon's higher educa
tional institutions over a 39-year
period has been ended with the vol
untary retirement of B. F. Irvine,
editor of the Oregon Journal, from
the State Board of Higher Educa
tion. When Irvine's term on the
present board expired in March and
he was offered reappointment by
Governor Martin, he declined to
serve again.

West in History Told
In Book by U.O. Writer
University of Oregon, March 23.
The West in American history, from
the early days when white men first
found the Indians on this continent
to the frontier days on this side of
the Rocky Mountains, is dramatic
ally portrayed in a new volume, "The
West in American History," written
by Dr. Dan E. Clark, professor of
history at the University of Oregon.
The book, which contains 694 pages
and a number of maps, is published
by the Thomas Y. Crowell company
of New York. It is the result of a
number of years of painstaking re
search and it presents a number of
new approaches to this phase of
American history.
The first section of the volume,
"The West Under Spain, France and
England," begins with an outline of
geographical factors which condi
tioned the western movement. The
second part deals with the frontier
of the middle west, or the region
between the Appalachian mountains
and the western border of the first
tier of states west of the Mississippi.
The treatment of the frontier of the
"Far West" in the third section is
frankly episodic in nature.
For several chapters, Dr. Clark
has gone to contemporary sources
such as journals, diaries, letters,
newspapers and government docu
ments. Chapter titles indicate the
highly interesting phases which the
author has selected for emphasis
Some of these are "The Waiting
Wilderness and Its Inhabitants," "The
Frontier Moves to the Mountains,"
"The Receding Red Men," "The
Fight for Free Land," "Great Trails
to the Far West," and "Cattle Kings
and Land Grabbers."
Dr. Clark who has been on the
faculty of the university since 1921
received his university education at
the University of Iowa, from where
he received the doctor of philosophy
degree in 1910. He has been in
charge of summer sessions on the
university campus for a number of
years.
The book, written mainly as basic
reading for college and university
courses, is also expected to prove of
interest to historians and to people
who like to delve into the romantic
story of the westward movement in
America.
