VOLUME XXVII 50 NUMBER 32 UMATILLA HERD IMPROVEMENT ASS'N UNDER NEW SYSTEM CONTRACT CALLS FOR INDIVI DUAL HERD TESTING. New Cream Testing Room Added to Umatilla Cooperative Creamery Plant. The system under which the Uma tilla Herd Improvement association has been doing its testing for the past few years has been changed and fees will be collected through the Umatilla Cooperative Creamery dur ing the coming year, according to a contract issued to members recently. Under the new contract mem bers in the association will do their own individual testing but will be furnished with a record of the indi vidual performance of each animal tested in the herd, compiled by a tester hired by the association. Up on admission to membership into the association and the acceptance of a herd of cows, the owner will pay $1.00 per cow per year to the secretary-treasurer of the organiza tion. These deductions will be made monthly by the Umatilla Coopera tive Creamery in ten monthly pay ments. A testing room has been built, and will be maintained in the Umatilla Cooperative Creamery plant, which will be used by the association test er in making final tests for reports to be turned over to the herd owner and association member. The room will also be used by the creamery for testing shipments of cream which are brought in daily by truck The new contract is not binding on the association unless sufficient cows are signed up to warrant the hiring of services of a tester. Here tofore, there have been sufficient benefits derived from the work in the association to warrant hope that an adequate membership will be maintained. • It is understood that all cows of milking age in the dairy herds be longing to the association are on test, and that there shall be no re duction in the amount of dues pay able after testing begins. Replace ments will only be made for cows removed from the herd. Additions shall be charged at the rate of ten cents per cow per month, as stated in the contract, but shall not exceed $1.00 per year. The new testing room has taken form rapidly and will be ready for use in the near future. A concrete block has been set for the testing machine, and shelving sufficient for storing testing equipment and records has been added. The room has been built at the front of the creamery building, to the right of the main entrance. This gives plen ty of light for the workmen and makes it convenient for service to customers. Albert Kennings will be retained as association tester Officers of the Umatilla Herd Im provement association are: C. .R. Coppock, Adams, president; L. C. Dyer, Hermiston, sec.-treas.; Chas. Lynch, Hermiston, and L. W. Owens Pendleton, directors. 444429**$$** • • • • n Teachers Attend Meeting.

HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY. OREGON, THURSDAY, ATRIL 6, 1933 SURVEY WILL BE MADE FOR According to final reports on the Umatilla flood control dam site giv en, by James M. Spencer, state water master on the Umatilla river, a sur vey will be made of the Gibbon site in the near future. An investigation into the matter shows that no legi timate site was found in a previous survey made in 1903, and in 1917- 18. Mr. Spencer went over records with Enos Martin, Hermiston Irri gation district manager, the first of thé week. The Gibbon site runs parallel to the railroad former reports show but a survey will be made for a possible solution to this difficulty. Mr. Martin says that the flow of water in the Umatilla is normal at this time with prospects of plenty of moisture if conditions in the snow area remain normal in the 'next month. The flow of water in the feed canal is now a little more than half and the reservoir lacks several thousand acre-feet of being filled. Flood periods in the Umatilla river have been from about March 10th to the middle of May in pre vious years, and Mr. Martin says that special precautionary measures have been taken to prevent large damage from high waters this year in this district. » PLANT A TREE” GENERAL SLO GAN ADOPTED.
