Dairy Milestone-
Is Predicted
Dairy marketing experts predict
in Washington that the dairy in
dustry will pass a historic mile
stone sometime this year. . . . 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.
Safety Drive In Lumber

The statistics cover 20 pine lum

Total employment in the 20 last

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.
