Attend Annual Meeting.
A. E. McFarland of Umatilla, L.
C. Dyer of Columbia district, and
Leslie Packard of Boardman, were
elected directors for the Umatilla Co
operative Creamery at its annual
meeting held Wednesday, February
6, in the Hermiston Union church.
Mr. McFarland and Mr. Dyer were
both reelected and Mr. Packard was
elected at a previous meeting held
in that district.
E. L. Jackson, president of the
board of directors, presided over the
meeting, and called for a vote on a
proposed change in the articles of
association which would Increase
the common capital stock from $10,-
000 to $15,000. The amendment
was favorably voted upon.
Manager M. G. Hedwall showed
the percentage of Increase in 92
scoro butter made by the creamery
in 1934 over the previous year,
which was 26.2 per cent. In 1933,
the percentage of 92 score butter
was 43.8, and in 1934 a percentage
of 70.0 score. Mr. Hedwall also
explained the cold storage set-up as
to investment, and income.
H. K. Dean, superintendent of the
Umatilla Experiment Station here,
was another speaker at the meeting.
Mr. Dean showed how dairy cows
that had received a grain supple-
i nt with alfalfa hay are only
si ghtly more efficient in changing
feed into milk than cows restricted
to alfalfa hay alone, according to
r suits on hay feeding tests conduc-
* 1 at the local station. This test,
however, is conducted over a period
r ’ ten months each and the results
'■e not being released as final, Mr.
Dean said.
As to comparative profits in feed
ing hay alone or with grain, it was
lound that much depends on the rel
ative price of the product, hay and
¿rain. Mr. Dean pointed out that
cows fed hay over a period of ten
months weighed 234 lbs., and those
fed hay and grain, showed a weight |
of 281 lbs., a difference of 47 lbs. |
Each cow was fed 1461 lbs, of grain
per cow.
Further experiments will be car
ried on for another year, Mr. Dean
said, in an effort to obtain practical
information on the most economical
methods of supplementary feeding
where dairy cattle are restricted
argely to alfalfa hay.
The next speaker on the program
was Geo. Jacobson, state creamery
inspector, who read sections of a
letter from Wendell Vincent, on the
Federal Food & Drug Act, in its
work of condemning filthy, decom
posed, putrid cream. He explained
that an effort is being made to
check the filth in cream at its
source, and especially urged dairy
men in this Eastern Oregon territo
ry to be cautious about preventing
flies from getting into the cream.
Mr. Jacobson explained how a
bacteria count was run and showed
a specimen with bacteria. He told
of the rapid growth of bacteria once
it was allowed in the cream.
G. A. Brown, manager of Inter-
state Associated Creameries of Port
land. explained the work of the sales
agency in the Portland trade area.
Another Interesting speaker was
Roger Morse, Extension Dairy Spe
cialist of O.S.C., and county agent
of Morrow county twelve years ago.
who congratulated the local cream
ery directors and members upon
their success in operating a success
ful plant, and upon the quality of
the product released. He also
touched upon the subject of the New
Deal in the dairy industry.
He explained that each dairyman
had an individual production cost
problem, and stressed the value of
continuous testing of herds.
Before the meeting adjourned ex

operation showed by members dur
ing the past year, were heard from
