A report of the proceedings of the
annual meeting of the Oregon dairy-
meh's association held at Marshfield
and Coquille recently was read by II.
K. Dean. It is evident from this re­
port that Oregon dairymen are in
favor of a state program for <1.. y
cattle disease control in an effort to
make the state T. B. an<j abortion ac-
c - ‘ ted. In the reeomnsin lxlnns
made by the dairymen and read in
this report it was pointed out that
Oregon dairymen will also sponsor an
extensive campaign for the advertis­
ing of the value of dairy products.
As a result of the comprehensive
study dairymen at this meeting
reached the conclusion that *iven at
the present price of butterfat profit
may be made in dairying o i the right
farms with high producing cows
with labor saved when equipment is
used and where business principles
are followed.
A short interesting talk Was given
by Mrs. W. A. Hineline,. girls' club
leader in which she stated that sev­
eral sewing and cooking clubs have
been organized In the district and

which the local fair lias in stimulat­
ing Interest in girls club work. Fol­
lowing Mrs. Hineline, Grace Rodda,
Mary Jane Sheridan and * Margaret

talk telling something of what the

year. Mr. J. W. McMullin. Holstein
calf club leader, made a few remarks
in which he stated that the local fair
has bad a great deal ot value In
stlmulatlngrfhe Interest among mem­
bers in his club. Floyd McMullin

above in this article were submitted
and unanimously elected by those
present.
After the Fair meeting had been
adjourned tjiose present enjoyed re­
freshments which were aervej In the

ABORTION CONTROL IN PROJECT DAIRY HERDS TO BE STARTED SOON
According to word received from
the veterinary department at the Ore­
gon State college, dairymen in this
section will have an opportunity to
have their dairy herds tested for
contagious abortion soon after the
first of April. This work is being
done by the veterinary department
of the Oregon Experiment station in
cooperation with the state veterinar­
ian’s offlee and without cost to local
dairymen.
Since 1921 college veterinarians
have made tests on cattle around Her­
miston for »ntagious abortion twice
each year. When the first testing
was done only a few cattle were In­
cluded. The work was done then as
an experiment In an effort to deter­
mine whether the disease could be
controlled, and was the first work of
Its kind done In Oregon. There ha9
been a gradual increase In the num­
ber of cows tested each year due
largely to the Increased Interest of
dairymen to have their cows tested.
When the last test was made over
E n terta ii, W ith W affle Supper.
1700 cattle in 184 herds u»d scatter­
ed from the Umatilla-Morrow county
line to Echo, were tested..
Work which has been done on the
control ot this cattle disease in the
different parts of the
state and
other states has proved that it can
be controlled. In some control tests
in this state the per cent of reaction
to the test has been reduced from 15
to less then 1 per cesG n two years
time. This has been Scc^&pllshed
only through the practice of recom­
mended control measures. While-the
progress made In this district has not
been so great the per cent of reaction
has materially been reduced.
Since the number of cattle being
tested here has been increasing and
the number tested each year has been
changed one can not make a direct
comparison of results of past testing.
However, many herds have controlled
the disease and are now clean as a
result of continued effort. With most
of the cattle in the district on test
as is now the case dairymen here

have an opportunity afforded them
of making an abortion free district.
An effort w lf be made to test all
dairy cattle lh the district when the
veterinarians are here soon after the
first of April. Any dairymen who
have not had their herds included
on previous tests or have not had
their name oh the list may make ar­
rangements at the assistant county
agent’s offioe tw have their herds
tested.
Following tlfo practice established
on previous fodfo dairymen will bo
notified through the mail of the time
his cattle will be tested. Due to the
Increase in number of cattle on the
list It will be necessary to make ef­
ficient use of time when testing and
the cooperation of dafrymen by hav­
ing their cattle ready is requested.
Recommended control measures may
be secured from H. K. Dean, super­
intendent of the Umatilla Project
Experiment station or from G. H.
Jenkins, assistant ceunty agent.
