Orchard- ists aud ranchers attended from all districts. Steps were takeu for the purchase of a carload or more of high grade cows, experts of tlie Oregon Ag ricultural College aidlug a committee of growers in selecting the animals. Tlie meeting, sponsored by tlie Hood River Creamery was attended t»y O. M. I’iumnwr. of the Pacific Interna tional LivestiK'k show; Chester Mul key. pjoaddent* of tlie Oregon Jersey Cattle club; K. L. Westover, western representative of the American Guern sey club; Frank Lynn, l’olk county stock man, and N. C. Maris, represent ing the Oregon State Dairy aud Food ConimlMion. - Truman Butler and E. O. Blanchnr were present and pledged the financial supixirt of their institutions to judi cious increase of dairy herds. A. W. Peters, who presided, cited that the Hixid River Creamery had built up n demand for its butter ami ice eream that it was unable to fill. While some of those present ex pressed tlie fear that a staiiqx-ile might ensue from the enthusiasm and growers in instances would te over burdened with more cows than they could profitably care for on place* where it would lie necessary to fair- chase feed, leaders in the movement declared that such was’ not the pur- |>ose In launching a cow drive. E. F. Batten, niemter of the cream ery board, suggested that the meeting needed some Billy Bunday evangelism and n sawdust trail. “We have a good supply of lazy rancher», who don’t want to te tied down to a cow. and eight per «nt mortgages,” said Mr. Batten, “and it makes a combination that can’t te ls*«teii In certain ways. We have many acres of orchard that are not adapted to fruit. Every 10 acre orchard place can supimrt two good cows. We want cosh . Iiut ill some lastaucM it would te a crying misfortune for orchnrdists to own Con-s. In the end it is tho man tehind the cow that counts." A. I. Mason declared Bint it was in- mentable that some of those prescut were kmxking the industry that had given the valley its fame. He declared special legislation had brought atetit the hard lot of the orciiardhit. He as serted that a natiuual anti-profiteering law for those dealing in foods was oio* ‘of ttie greatest aeeds of the agricul turist. “You want to continue to make ap- C'e raising your predominant indux y,” said M. Plummer. “You have the reputation of having one of the la*st apple districts in the country. You merely want to add cows to your ujc - tlvillea to increase your prosperity and keep it in the first ranks.” Mr. Plummer, as did other JHx ukerx, emphasised how the fertilizers afford ed from dairy cows^aid'xl in rebuild ing orchard tracts. Chairman Peter» stated that propa ganda had lieen spread to the effect that the creamery organization would receive a commtraion from the snle Of the cows. Both lie and Truman But ler denounced such tactics. “The soul of one so smull as to cir culate such stories,” declared Mr. But ler. “would rattle in the shell of a mustard seed.” All of tile visiting speakers urged that growers purchase cows that had a certain reputation for production. Mr. Mulkey expressed the belief that It would pay those desiring cows to purchase purebreds. lie said that he could assure the orchardists that they could secure <f>ws through liis as- Sgciation at $225 to $250 f. o. b. Ralem or Independence. The freight charges here would reach about $-1 each. The Fairtrton sratrtffl, Mr. Ratten arateil. offered to take care of the animals for 15 cents cacti per day while they wore telng distril>nt<*d. One nf those who urged that grow ers te sure tliey would te able to pnq>- erly '«re for cows on land where they could produce no feed stuff was Mr. Blanchar. J. R. Edgar and R. H. Hazcltine, of Dee, asked how far a grower with trees already eetablisheil could go toward entering the dairy business. Mr. Edgar also pointed out the high cost of hay and other fetal- stuff. He said that he paid $1.45 per tag for milirun, wlievi that wns a (Continued on last page) DR. LARAWAY MAKES Hood River Market BRYANT & DU ROSS, Props.
