The report of the Umatilla Herd Improvement association for March has been delayed In view of the fact that the new business plan requires a new bookkeeping system. The tester, Albert Kennings, states that in the future all reports will be out on schedule. He also states that farmers around Boardman and Irri- gon are joining the association and as soon as the enrollment is suffi- -iently large a regular route will be established in that district. The report states that "the East ern Oregon State Hospital, T. G. Gregory, L. W. Oven, and Wm. Sch- able herds were tested in February, while the remaining herds were tested first In March, And continu- ing says "The cows listed on the honor roll are taken only from herds tested under the old standard plan, Seven of the 33 herds were tested under the standard plan whereby the tester takes the samples. These herds are owned by Chas. Lynch, L. V. Owens, E.O.S.H., Wm. Schable, T. G Gregory, A. R. Coppock & Son, ind L. M. Keen. The other herds were tested under the new coopera- ive plan where the dairyman takes lis own samples.” There were 33 herds on test in March with 518 cows enrolled, of which 74 were dry. Total milk pro duction was 300,374 averaging 13,- $33.5 pounds of fai. Cows averaging 10 pounds of fat were 86. High herds of over 20 cows for his month are owned by the E.O.S.

Maybe he will make less noise. You have heard the old saying that in the spring we are reminded of the buttercups along the roadside, and as the little boys say "of the little bullets” in the field, But even the little "bullets" do not feel par ticularly friendly In the best of weather. F. B. Swayze discovered this when he tried to get friendly with a "gentleman cow" who had forgotten his best manners, and was forced to lie In a bed of cockle burrs in an irrigation ditch to escape the playful scampers of his pursuer. Mr. Swayze spent a couple of hours in the doctors office having the burrs extracted The preacher and the blind pi were directly connected early la: Friday morning (the day beer can • back) Rev. W. E.
