In truth, almost every pioneer was a ‘dairy farm er’ when Oregon was settled. Each family making the trip west was advis ed to bring one or two milk cows with them, and most did. The cows provided fresh milk along the 1500 mile trail, on a two or three month journey where adding provisions was usually impossible. In fact, one of the few chores made easier on the trip was production of butter that resulted from a can of milk being jostled (churned) on a bum py wagon all day. Pioneers found pieces of butter and fresh butter milk when they stopped for the evening. To help celebrate the 150th an niversary of the great migration of pioneers coming west, the Dairy Fanners of Oregon are a Pass the county levy To the Editor: Morrow County voters will be voting on the county budget in June for the third time this year. There are probably as many reasons for the failure to pass as there are for voters in the coun ty. Perhaps this time we should each evaluate the proposal on a more general level rather than voting based on one or two line items contained in the budget that we may disagree with. We should keep in mind that the National Consumer Price In dex (CPI) for 1992 increased by three percent and the CPI for Oregon (Portland area) increas ed by 4.4 percent. The county budget as proposed for the last levy contained a very modest in crease of less than one percent. Too bad we can’t get a federal proposal like that. Let’s get out our votes and pass the levy this time around. (s) John L.

There are dairies near the old wagon ruts crossing the state, and the wagons will stop just lA mile from the Barlow Trail Dairy, owned by another dairy industry leader and his sons. One hundred fifty years later, Oregon dairy men and women still care about the things that make their lives full and their dairy products important, kids, customers, cows and the beautiful land that is Oregon. And we hope everyone will join in remember ing the early Oregonians who followed the Oregon Trail.
