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.

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. »
