The Umatilla association has just
started its third year of testing work.
During the two years Just completed
many noteworthy records have been
made by members.
One herd prob
ably the most outstanding was one of
1* Holstein cows owned by T. H.
Haddox. This herd during 1929 pro-
daeeg an average of 450.4 pounds of
butterfat and It Is thought to have
completed a similar record this past
year. It ia a common thing for one
or two eowe in a herd to produce 450
pounds or more, but It is a rare thing
for a herd-of 1* to make such an
average. A herd of 5 Jetesy cows
by F. C. ToW bu MI« • year
ly average of 414.6 pounds of butter
fat and 388.3 pounds were produced
by seven Jerseys owned by H. M.

of herds, number of cows and the
herd average of the 25 dairymen in
the Umatilla association whose herds
produced more than 3Oo pounds of

Marketing of turkeys Dis
cussed in Poultry Journal
mat to look opon Igim aa
(Cdntinueo From Last Week.)
This puts him at a very greut dis
advantage, and those bidding on the
turkeys three weeks before the mar
ket Is established In the East, natur
ally discount the prospective market
very heavily. Then, due to the size
of the pool, there are comparatively
few bidders, and of course, there is
nothing to prevent these bidders talk
ing values over among themselves,
before they make their bid, In fact,
the natural thing for them to do.
The successful bidder, that Is, the
highest bidder. Is awarded the pool,
and one of the stipulations Is that
he or they Immediately deposit In a
local bank sufficient money to cover
checks Issued to the producers for
eighty or ninety per cent of the
amount they are to get for their tur
key«. That Is. each Individual pro
ducer Is paid a hlrh percentage of
what he Is going to ret for the tur
keys he delivers to the pool.
Right here Is the weakness of the
whole thing. If this could he
<h«need. the association handling the
eel could actually market the tur-
Xej3 iu&iiad of auctioning them off
as they do now. I understand that
none of the associations Is financed
to any great extent, and they do not
need to be, but the members of these
organizations must give up the Idea
that they must receive a check for
eighty or ninety per cent of the value
of their turkeys the minute they are
weighed utf.
Where do you think Henry Ford
or General Motors would be If they
put all the cars they manfacture
every year or every six months, on
the auction block. They would get
nowhere using that system. Instead
they themselves market their own
cars In centers where there Is a de
mand for them, just as the turkey
producers should do.
Just why a turkey producer should
