The eight cow testing associations
of Oregon tested 4636 cows in Octo
ber. reports E. B. Fitts U. S. and O.
A. C. extension dairy field man in
charge. Those ecows produced more
than 25 per cent better than the av
erage cow of Oregon. The average
yield of the association cows was
467 pounds of milk and 25.07 pounds
of fat.
The farm bureau is not a market
ing association, but is interested in
bringing into active operation such
marketing associations as are essen
tial to proper marketing of farm pro
duce. A national committee of 17
has been appointed to develop a grain
market plan, and of 15 to work out
a better plan for marketing livestock.

Oregon farmers are beginning to
scrutinize contracts offered them for
their surplus produce, to see whether
loopholes have been left whereby the
purchaser may void the contract if
prices fall. Such terms as standard
pack, merchandisable product, and
first-class canning cherries, open the
way for the buyer to reject the pro
duce or force lower price, while they
do not invalidate the contract for the
seller if prices rise.
laying Blood Tells
Blood Will Tell” is the heading
under which Janies Dryden, profes-
or of poultry husbandry at O. A.
C., describes the sucess of a Pacific
coast millionaire and an expert
poultryman in running one of the
biggest trap-nested flocks in the
world, in the Country Gentleman for
October 23. The Investment in the
business is *63,000. Eggs from one
of the breeding pens sell at $2 each.
One illustration shows a day's egg
production—5895 eggs from 9322
hens. The breeding stock was from
high-record, trap-nested hens with
long pedigrees behind them. and
Professor Dryden calls this use of
them “putting heridity to work.” He
has written a number of special
poultry articles for the Country Gen
tleman and is preparing still others
Crop Waste Heavy
More than a hundred million dol
lars are lost in Oregon and other
states by failure to use economically
the corn stover and straw from
which the seed crops were taken.
Use of these by-products as feed and
bedding for livestock would greatly
increase the profits of farming, says
the O. A. C. farm management de
partment. About one-third of all
straw grown in the country is used
to a disadvantage either by burning
or plowing under directly. Its best
use is through livestock—dairy cows
and heifers, and sheep, especially.
