Our national observance of an an nual day of thanksgiving was insti tuted when our Pilgrim forefathers gathered together to make grateful acknowledgement for the bountiful crops on which depended their survi val. Since that first American har vest, progress along innumerable lines has added to the comfort, the effi ciency and the security of our lives. Wealth and high position have been vouchsafed us as a nation. Manifold and great opportunitise have been opened to u as individuals. Soc ial and economic changes have been vast, but the spiritual truth remains steadfast that material achlevemens are made fruitful only by guidance and strength from power which is above and beyond human endeavors. Eternal and universal in the hearts of thoughtful men is the proverb, es tablish Thou the work of our hands.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, I. L. Pat terson, Governor of the state of Ore gon, in conformity to the proclama tion of the President of the United States, do proclaim Thursday, Nov ember 28th, 1929, as Thanksgiving Day, and do hereby set it aside as a public holiday. Let us, on this day, give thoue1’’ man’s fellowship with nature in the husbandry of the fruitful earth, first scource of all wealth. Let us ac knowledge the ties of family affect ion and renew the bond of hearth and men. Let us share our abundance en the will to peace, stronger now than ever before in the hearts of men. Let u share onr abundance with the less fortunate, and let us humbly dedicate our power and pros perity to the service of Almighty God. In testimony whereof I ha re here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Oregon to be hereunto affixed this 15th day of November, A. D. 1929. Attest: Hal. E. H om , I. L. PATTERSON, ... Secretary of State. Governor.

ORGANIZATION STARTED TWO YEARS AGO Payments Made in Three Divisions For Work Done in Testing Cow Herds. Signatures are now being taken by the officials of the Umatilla Dairy Improvement association for member ship In the organization during the coming year, according to George Jenkins. Anyone Interested in Join ing the organization or in getting In formation about the work done should eee L. C. Dyer, of Hermiston, presi dent,, S. R. Cooper. Stanfield, sec retary, or George Jenkins. The association was started two years ago December I. It includes dairy herds from Milton-Freewater, Irrigon, Boardman, Ione, Hermiston, Stanfield and Pilot Rock. The two past years have been completed suc cessfully, Mr. Jenkins says. Butter Fat Measured. The purpose of the association is to determine how much each cow is producing in butterfat. Several of the dairymen have reported that the tests have been of value to them In selling heifer calves and also in giv ing owners an Idea about what calves to keep. Such a record has also as sisted some ini giving them ideas about improving the uallty of the sires, and in telling just what to teed the cows. E. M. Hauser has completed two successful yearB as the tester In this district. Payments Divided. The cost of testing is based on the amount of time It takes to teat a herd and if a man has a large herd of cowBj about 488, the cost is 960 per year. For a herd of from 12 to 20 rows, the cost Is 833 a year. In smaller herds, piree herds are often tested together. One-fourth of the money owed for testing is paid on December 24, one- half of the balance on March 24, and the balance on June 24. Those who are enthusiastic about testing say that the work has been of benefit to the county, according to Mr. Jenkins. Quite a number of cows were found to be unprofitable after the tests started and were sold for beef. The association also gives the dairymen valuable information that can be used by the breeders as sociation in the sire improvement work.
