HONOR THE DAISY COW
It is the season of the year, when
perhaps mom than at any other, we
acknowledge our debt to the dairy
cow. It le the season of excursions
throughout dairy districts and of
milk and butter Industry. Unfortu
nately, the catastrophe that recent
ly hit the state of California has
necessitated the cancelling of some
cf these events in this state, but the
calamity and the possibility of its
invasion of Oregon only serves to re
vive In us our admiration for the
eow and our appreciation of the ser
vice that she renders.
'Next week enthusiasts in the
breeding and development of Jerseys
meet in state conclave to sing the
praises of their favorite and to con
sider ways and means of Increasing
her value, adding to the profit that
she produces and protecting in gen
eral the Industry that she represents.
Honor to the Jersey cow that has
established In Oregon a fame that
has spread round the world, Honot
to her worthy sisters of other breeds.
It is doubtful If any other product
Is more valuable to the people of a
state or nation than that of the
humble cow. It takes up the cause
of childhood where baby’s mother
lays it down and and gives to the
boy and girl health and vigor in a
degree unattainable without it. It
quenches the thirst with a delic
ious food beverage. It adds delight
and healthfulness to the morning
cereal and spreads the bread of the
race with golden richness. Unhappy
priceless bounty.
Across the sea Is another Indus
try— one which produces something
called milk and an oil from which is
manufactured a thing which, to the
unwise, resembles butter. This for
eign Industry is encroaching upon
Oregon’s dairy farms. It Is flood
ing Oregon's markets with a product
that Is deceiving many. It Is the
kind of product which crafty sales
men describe as "Just as good" when
a patron asks for an article of
certain brand. But It Is not Just
as good as genuine dairy butter.
Next November the people of Ore
gon will vote on two candidates—
the dairy cow llmt |j doing so much
to fculid vp the prorperlty of their
state and the coconut cow that
building up the prosperity of the
prlent and the South Seas. They
will vote for the one, which pays
taxes and keeps money at home, or
for the other, which pays no taxes
and sends money to foreign treas
uries. They will vote for the one
whose products mean vigor and
healthfulness for the boys and girls
and the adults of the state, or for
the other, that has been found
greatly inferior as a source of men
tai and physical stamina.
Which will win? The answer de.
pends upon the Influence that the
dairymen and their friends bring to
hear between now and November
upon the friends of the vegetable
oil margarines and upon those who
have not yet been made to realise
the Importance of the cow and her
product.

which you lose an opportunity to
