Let everyone ascertain his special business and calling, and then stick to it, if he would be successful.— Benjamin Franklin. VOLUME XXV NUMBER 46 UMATILLA CO-OP. CREAMERY JOINS INTERSTATE ASS’N. LOCAL BUTTER SHIPMENTS TO START IMMEDIATELY. Abortion Free Area Test Will Aid in Better Production of Butterfat; No Tuberculosis Found. Hvrmwitm limitò HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OU D O N , THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1931 HERMISTON POTATOES ARE POULTRY PRODUCTION BEINO SHIPPED BY CARLOAD HOLDING OWN, SAYS O.S.C. The first car load lot of Hermis ton potatoes went out of Hermiston last Friday to the Pacific Fruit com pany in Walla Walla and from there will be shipflfcd fo eastern points. So tar this Beason no local potatoes have been shipped through the asso ciation, of which T. H. Fraser is secretary. The first three cars of potatoes were made up by Geo. McKenzie and Geo. Strohm with a few other con tributors. Other growers shipping are: Kelley and Boynton, Mrs. Ser rill, J. V. Allen, H. H. Christenson J. M. Prindle, and Glenn Moore. Mr. Prindle shipped a car Wednesday which will go to Omaha. According to F. C. McKenzie there are more orders than growers on the project will be able to fill. The price received for U. S. No. Is Is *15 a ton. I w D oliar SUBSCRIPTION, $2.00 PER YEAR POINT JUDGING SYSTEM IS Cooperatives* Adviser TURKEY GROWERS ASSOCIATION ADDS FIVE NEW MEMBERS SUGGESTED FOR 4-H CLUBS In spite of the fact that poultry prices seem to have hit rock bottom during the past year, poultry pro duction on the whole Is more than bolding its own with other Oregon farm enterprises, according to A. G. Lunn, chief of the poultry depart ment of the Oregon Experiment sta tion. “I do not know of any major branch of agriculture today that Is paying the producer as well as the poultry business,” Lunn said. "The poultryman who has good stock and enough of it can more than pay his basic cost of production, even though he may not get interest on invest ment.” The situation during the past year has emphasised more strongly than ever, Lunn believes, the importance of the size of the poultry flock. Where poultry constitutes the prin cipal, farm income a flot’s of not less than 1000 hens is essential. Small flock owners ars just "out of luck” during such times of stress, he says. Lunn believes that the lowest levels of egg and poultry prices have been reached tBat may be expected for at least a couple of years, and that with fewer eggs in storage and fewer birds being raised, the price of eggs this year will be an improve ment over last. This, however, de pends somewhat on general business conditions, he says. Announcement was made this week by members of the Umatilla Cooperative Creamery that this as sociation has joined up with the In terstate Creameries association and will start shipping butter immedia tely. Detailed arrangements were worked out last Friday at the an nual meeting of the association in R. H. McAtee, of Rosalia, Wn., who Portland when T. G. Gregory, A.
