two cows were making more butterfat
for the month than any of my other
cows. I decided to keep the calves,
and further took Interest enough to
weigh the milk from each cow In my
herd; and now those two cows are
at the top of the list for the whole
association.
“You may ask, what about those
two calves? Well, If you have J.'iOO
you might get them; but not for less
than that, even if they are grades.
Does testing pay? Well, I will say
yea; and i f I can keep the association
going next year, you bet I will.”
VALUE OF TEST ASSOCIATIONS
Information Obtained by Members
Enables Them to Weed Out
Unprofitable Animals
There is plenty of evidence on file
In the United States Department of
Agriculture to convince anyone of the
value of cow-testing associations as a
means of developing profitable dairy
herds. In all these associations rec­
ords are kept of the amount of milk
produced and feed consumed by each
cow, and with this information the
members of the association are able
to weed out the poor producers of the
herd to make room for the heifer
calves of the cows that give the larg­
est produeilon of milk and butterfat.
This practice, together with the use
of purebred balls, is the best and sur­
est way of building up the dairy herd,
say dairy specialists of the depart­
ment.

Wisconsin Farmer Woke Up by Re­

•T Just wish to write a few words
to let the farmers in general know
what I thought of cow-testing asso­
ciations a year ago and what I think
of them now,” writes a Wisconsin
dairyman to a field agent of the dairy
division, United States Department of
Agriculture. “About a year ago I was
approached on the subject, and, after
some talk, I said : ‘Go ahead ; if you
can shoot In forty or fifty dollars 1
can, too.' So in April, 1920, we organ
Ized ; and to top it they elected me
secretary of the association. I did
not think much more about It until
the tester came to my place the first
time, and when I saw him at work I
commenced to wake up.
T had two cows that had freshened
about three weeks before that, and
both of them had heifer calves which

“The Affairs of Anatol;” W ill be
Shown in Umatilla Tuesday
and Here Wednesday
W hat is probably the biggest fea­
ture to be shown at the Play House
this year is "The Affairs of Anatol”
to be billed at Pound’s theatre In
Um atilla Tuesday and at the Herm­
iston Play House Wednesday of next
week.
Securing >30,000 worth of fu rn i­
ture for a single Interior setting and
then smashing the outfit before the
camera produces photoplay realism,
but at a well-nigh prohibitive cost.
Yet that Is what Cecil B. DeM llle did
In his Paramount production, ‘‘The
Affairs of Anatol.”
The setting in question serves ns
a background for a part of the story
Dortrayed by Wallace Reid, Gloria
Swanson, E llio tt Dexter, Bebe Daniels

and other all-star players. I t is an

structed to spare no expense.
The result was an attractive suite
designed by Paul Irbe, furnished with
approximately $30.000 worth of fu r­
niture. Thia included a valuable set
of Louis X V I chairs, a magnificent
carved photograph case of unique de­
sign, a grand piano, lamps, mirors,
tables, a desk, lounge, pletures and
A t the climax of this episode. W a l­
lace Reid was instructed to run
amuck, smashing everything break­
able In the set. The orders were
comprehensive and Reid obeyed them
to the letter. Not one stick of fu rn i­
ture remained In Its original shape
when the vandalism was complete!
Using ths small pieces of furniture
as bludgeons, Reid shattered every­
thing in sight while the camera click­
ed Just out of range of hie blows.
Mirrors, lamps, chairs, phonograph
and piano were demollehed one by
lone. As a conclusion to the scene, the

Steriliie Prune Boxes
One Important setp In the control
of brown rot Is to eterllze the pruno
boxes before returning them to the
orchard. Boiling water or live steam

arrangement la to have a tank In
which water may be kept hot with
pipes run from ths drier furnace.
This tank. If large enough, w ill pro­
vide a means of washing the trays as
well, thus keeping them from getting
gummed up w ith dripings.— O. A. C.
