IMPORTATION OF
DAIRY CALVES IS
TO BE ENCOURAGED
Knrm Ilarraa Arrange Shipments
Krom Tillamook and Com
County Herri
With view to developing diversi
fied farming In Klamath county, tho
farm bureau has made arrangements
for securing a shipment of two-week-old
bolter calrcs from Coos and Till
amook counties. These aires aro
from cows producing not less than
300 pounds ot butter fat per year
and arc from purebred Holsteln, Jer.
soy and Guernsey dairy bulls.
"Tho need for more dairying In
Klamath county Is recognltcd, and
the fsrm bureau will bend every ef
fort toward that end," said K. H.
Thomas, county agriculturist. "On
tho other band, a general demand
has decreased the supply ot avail
able dairy cows and has made It
necessary o pay a premium for them.
With this In mind wo shall Import
calves and thereby effect a large sav
ing."' Front lint Dairy HctiU
Tho calves are from the best dairy
herds In the counties mentioned and
tho cows In these herds have been
Under test tor several years, Thomas
says. Orders for these calves will be
filled by-the owners In the order In
which 4)ier are received. The coat, ha
says, Is not to exceed $16 a head plus
shipping expenses. A deposit ot $6
should accompany the order which
should bo sent to tho tsrm bureaU
office, and tho order should specify
the breed desired.
Full information regarding these
calrcs has been placed In the hands
of all banks in this county as well as
the Klamath Palls and Merrill cream
erica and tho Matin cheese factory,
all ot which aro authorized to accept
orders
Develop lly DegrwH
"It Is our plan to doelop dairy
ing by degrees rather than over
night,' said Thomas. "Calves from
these counties have been brought In
tot Klamath county In a small way by
Individuals In tho past, and have
proven very satisfactory. It a farmer
ran spare eight to 10 pounds of
whoto milk per hoad a day for two
or three weeks, gradually shifting to
skim milk and oats, he can raise
these rahes very profitably. This
seems to bo ono of the most feasable
ways of stocking Klamath county
with good dairy rattle"
