M REGISTERED HERD OE CATTLE BOUGHT FOR LOCAL DAIRY W. J. Dougherty Buys Qual ity Holsteins of Carnation Milk Farms Shipment Comprises 18 Cows, Bull FIRST LADY, MRS. HUGHES FETED Dairy Industry ot Jackson county was today a step nearer national rec ognition as the result of the pur chase of a herd of purebred, regis tered Holsteins by W. J. Dougherty for bis Brookhurst Orchard farm two miles out of town on Crater Lake highway. Th herd comprised 18 cows and a bull. It has been augmented since Its recent delivery here by the ar rival of two calves, one a heifer, the other a bull. The cattle came from Duvall. Wash., purchased from the Carnation Milk Farms, recognized as the world's greatest breeder of Holsteins. Buildings Modernized. It Is understood the herd repre sents an Investment of several thou sand dollars, in addition to this outlay Mr. Dougherty has modern ized his farm buildings and Installed up-to-date equipment to meet all legal requirements pertaining to san itation. His is believed to be the largest purebred. all-Holsteln herd In the county. Ten of the cows arc now being milked and they are averaging six gallons daily each, Mr. Dougherty said. He Is disposing of the milk through the Sonoma cheese factory In Central Point. He indicated that he might market the milk for home consumption either Independently or through an established distributor. He emphasized, however, that his pri mary Interest Is centered in breeding. Mr. Dougherty had not been en gaged In the dairy business here be fore his recent purchase of the Hol stetn nerd. He Is an experienced dairy farmer. however, having for years been in that business In Idaho, a state he once served as secretary of state. , Has Large Tracts.

He has been operating a pear orchard and last year marketed about 30,000 boxes of the fruit through Southern Oregon Sales. Inc. He owns two tracts. The Brookhurst ! orchard comprises 60 acres, and to the north Is another tract of 86 acres, i in addition. Mr. Dougherty has a j large acreage under lease and last j year raised 100 acres of hay on leased land. "Orchards and dairying go hand in hand," Mr. Dougherty said, stressing that the Rogue river valley Is espe cially adapted to both of these en terprises. All of the Holsteln are registered stock and the transfer papers are to be forwarded for recording to the Holsteln-Prleslan Association of Amer ica at Brattlcboro, Vt. Peillgrerd Stork. The quality of Mr. Dougherty's herd Is Indicated by the pedigree of the bull. Named Carnation Inka Segls Lad, the bull was sired by Car nation Inka Walker Lad, son of Sir Inka May, who was all-American show bull and who aired many all American winners," the 'registry pa pers reveal.

DENES HELP OF STATES SEEN AS NEED IN E Hatcheries Not Sole Solu tion Nor Can Action Be Taken By Federal Govern ment, Commissioner Says NEW YORK. April 20. (AP Gen. John J. Pershing sailed for England and the coronation Wednesday after nipping In the bud a description of his coronation attire as "gorgeous" "It has been very much exagger ated," said the 76-year-old general, when asked about- the gold-bedecked blue uniforms, wide sash and ostrich-feathered "fore and aft" hat he will wear as one of President Roosevelt's representatives. , "It Is merely a modification of the Brigadier General's uniform I wore as dress 20 years ago, and it simply has been changed to correspond with my present rank. "Are you going to wear knee breeches?" asked an Interested young man, recalling that the president a first official representative, former Ambassador James W. Gerard, pinna to wear "knee pants." General Pershing gasped In amaze ment. Then he said reprovingly, "you should Join the army and learn about uniforms or at least the CCC." Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman, re tired, who sallet for the coronation the same boat, the President Harding, also was asked If ho would wear knee breeches. "No," he retorted facetiously. "I think I will wear pink undies." STEIWER WILL BATTLE FOR SALMON CULTURE WASHINGTON-. April 29. f AP Senators Frederick Stelwer of Oregon and Louis Schwellenbach of Wash ington will unite in efforts to ob tain half a million dollars In federal funds for the salmon Industry. They will sponsor a bill to estab lish, operate and maintain one or more fish culture stations In Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The proposal has the support of fish commission officials In the northwest as well aa Colcmbla river fishermen's organizations. Phone 542 Well oaui away youi refuse City Sanitary Service SAVE TIME!

Flax should be sown as early as a good seedbed can be prepared and never covered more than one inch dfop. By Frank T. Bell , (U. S. Commissioner of Fisheries) Two news items appearing In Ore gon and Washington papers recently are of great concern to conservation ists throughout the country. One of these describes a memorial passeu by the Oregon legislature asking con gress to make an Immediate appro priation of not less than 9500,000. This sum Is to be divided between Oregon and Washington and spent on building f'.sb hatcheries and fori promoting In other ways the artific ial propagation of salmon In the lower Columbia river. The other item is an announce ment that Columbia river fishing in terests will file suit against the fed eral government for alleged damages resulting from dam construction. Any money awarded to the claimants In the suit Is to be spent on fish hatchery establishments on the Co luxnbla river for the purpose of ef fecting fishery conservation. The most Interesting thing about these proposals Is not that people are aroused to the danger of deplet ing the salmon fishery, or even that the states are asking the federal gov ernment to shoulder the financial burden of restoring the fishery but that the general public sets so much store in hatcheries. It expects more from them than they can possibly produce and falls completely to rec ognize all the other necessary re quirements for the conservation of the fishery. Almost anyone you meet will tell you about the work of the bureau of fisheries or of the state fish and game commissions. According to them It consists In the artificial propa gation of fish In hatcheries. Nothing more. And they might tell you that so long as that mysterious process la going on, we can fish as much as we like and not ..worry abqut ..the ultimate fate of the stock. rndrrMarnltng Lacking The reason why hatcheries are so completely accepted by the public. I think. Is that they closely resemble a financial Institution run by a con servative and trustworthy banker. They keep books and publish from time to time large and Impressive figures. But people generally do not under stand the true place of the hatchery In fishery conservation work. Cer taluly It Is an Important place and when properly used In conjunction with other conservation devices the hatchery Is well-ntgh indispensable. To begin with, a hatchery saves numerous eggs and young ftsh by protecting them from their natural enemies. It permits rearing them through the delicate and helpless young ' stages up to a point where they are active and self-protective. As a result of this conservation of the early stages of life, probably more fish are able to reach matur ity than waa possible uuder natural propagation alone, probably the most Important thing which hatcheries do. however, is to make it possible to transplant fish from overpopulated to underpopulated streams, and thus to control, equalize and regulate most' effectively their distribution. j LlmltuMim (itetl ( But artificial hatching lias defln-j Ite limitations. At best It Is only a supplement for natural spawning. It j rears and protects the young salmon j only until they are five or six months -old; in other words, for a period amounting to not more than one-1 eighth the total life span. The fish j are then planted In the streams, j where they may remain as long as , one or two years before they go to sea. During that period they may be j devoured by natural enemies, pols-; oned by the wast products poured Into the streams by factories lost In a maze of Irrigation ditches, man gled In the turbines of electric gen erators, imprisoned in ponds left by floods or perhaps suffer any of ft number of other accidents. The survivors reach the sea but at length they must return, this time full grown; and if they have escaped up to this point, they must not only navigate the stream again through Its numerous hazards but they may now be caught by the nets of fish ermen; and there ends their useful ness as producers of spawn. It Is the problem of fishery con servationists to see how spawning may be promoted. The sources of pollution must be discovered and controlled so as to stop the poison ing of fish by the waste products from cities and factories. Irrigation ditches must be screened to protect fish from wandering Into them and being destroyed. Dams must be prop erly equipped with fish ways in order to help the salmon over these bar riers on up to their spawning grounds. Streams must be Improved so aa to enlarge the natural spawn ing areas. The breeding places of animals on which the salmon feed must be made more productive. Shelter for protection against natural enemies must be enlarged. Turbines must be screened, where necessary, to prevent fish from being mangled In their wheels. Finally and this Is most important the fishery must be regulated and restricted when and where necessary, so as to maintain a balance between the number which the fishermen take and the number which must escape for adequate spawning. lp To State. These are all requirements which have little If anything to do with artificial propagation, and cannot be managed by hatcheries. If we Ignored these requirements, it would not matter how much we spent on build ing more hatcheries, ihe salmon fishery of the Columbia river would bo headed toward extinction. Now where does the United States bureau of fisheries fit Into this scheme of fishery management? The bureau has a role something lika that of a doctor attending a patient with a complication of ailments. He diagnoses the dlsense, decides what medicines must be taken and pre scribes. If the patient refuses to ac cept the doctor's advice, this Is his lookout. So the federal government has a corps of practical -minded fishery scientists dingnoslng the ills of the Columbia river fishery and determin ing what should be done about them. But whatever Is done must be done by the states themselves. COUPLE HELD IN ABORTION DEATH WATONOA. Okla..
