De liveries from bulk milk tanks will forge ahead of the amount of milk being delivered in cans in markets operating under federal marketing orders. The forecast is based on a sur vey made by USDA's dairy divi sion in 67 major milk markets This shows that in 1957, 47 per cent of the milk in those markets came from farms using bulk equip ment, a 14 per cent shift during the year. In two markets covered by the survey, southeastern tlonda. Ce dar Rapids-and-Iowa City, Iowa, all the milk receipts came from bulk tanks. ' LARGER OPALS than can usually be found on the surface are secured by digging down for them. This method, in cidentally, is usually favored by the men while the women content themselves with surface hunts. Shown here are two Enumclaw, Washington, roekhounds, W. E. Brown (in hole) and L. S. Vanderbrook. The two heard about the mine from friends and promptly made the long trip to look it over.

This not only is a humani tarian sten. but also helps cut in surance cosls which are based on actual experience ratings. J. R. Grady, Portland, Western Pine Association safety director, told the group that three mills in the five-county district with 99.000 man hours of work had no injury accidents at all in 1957, and the same was true for one planing mill and three factories represent ing 358.000 man hours of work.

Jersey Cow Sets Mark Standard Dreaming June, a reg istered Jersey cow owned by D. A Messenger, Shady Acres Farm, As toria, Oregon, has proved to her stable mates and owners that she has loads of cowpower. The American Jersey Cattle Club, Columbus, Ohio, recently gave her a Cowpower Index Num ber of 17.1, which means the milk she produced in 305 days during her recent lactation exceeded her bodyweight 17.1 times. Breed offi cials say this is a meritorious record. - Standard Dreaming June was tested on both Herd Improvement Registry and Register of Merit sys tems of testing during her recent lactation. Her register of merit record was carried to 305 days and totaled 10,31)8 pounds of milk with 1.053 pounds of fat. The cow was milked twice daily and began the record at the age of 8 years and 6 months. She was bred by the late M. N. Tibbies. Salem, Oregon, who was named a master breeder by The American Jersey Cattle Club in 1951. Fort Rock Lambs Moved FORT ROCK A load of locally raised lambs, the first to be shipped from here in over 25 years, went to Portland last week Included in the shipment were 27 head from the Jess Miles ranch which averaged ICS pounds and brought top price for the week. Miles, who will have other ship ments ready to go 1 a t e r in the summer, feels that sheep offer the greatest opportunity for a profit able livestock operation for trri gated ranches in this locality. He anticipates a large growth in sheep numbers here. At shearing time top fleeces weighed 13 pounds. Shearing was done by Jim Harding of Corvallis, a junior in general science at Ore gon State College. Save Time, Space, Money . . . Freeze Strawberries J.
