HOLSTEIN BREEDERS HOLD PICNIC THURS Thursday. August 30, the Tillamook County Holstein Club held a picnic and get-to-gether meeting at Charles Fleck’s ranch on the banks of the Nes- tucca. Despite the fact that the meet ing was not well advertised it wax well attended. At noon Charles Kunxe, president of the club, invited everyone to gath er around the picnic table. There the crowd assembled to do justice to the good "eats” set forth by the ladies of the club. The first speaker to be called upon to speak was ex-Senator McArthur. He spoke upon a bill passed by con gress several years ago for the benefit of the dairyman. The government has set aside five million dollars to be distributed to the various loan associ ations that are situated throughout the United States. This money is in turn lent to the dairyman that has need for aid in carrying on his work of supplying the nation with dairy products. Mr. McArthur represents the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank at Spokane. George Gue, noted Holstein Auc- tioneer of Washington, gave a very interesting talk on prevailing dairy conditions in the United States, anil I the great need for more dairy prod- i UCta. He stated that in the State of Washington dairy substitutes took | the place of products that it would require thirty thousand cows to sup ply. He urged the cooperation of dairymen throughout the county dis regardless of what breed of cattle they were breeding to supply the need. W. E. Meyer, the Northwestern Fieldman for the IIolstein-Friexian Association of America, was present with a statue of the model Holstein cow. He told of the work carried on by leading Holstein judges and breed ers to prefect plans for a model that was to picture the true type Holstein. After two years of work, which in cluded the studying of pictures of great Holsteins, both past and pres ent, and other things which go to make a great animal, the true type Holstein was completed, A famous sculptor of animals and a painter were employed to model and paint the statues and pictures that are used in the advertising of the great est breed of dairy cattle in the Unit ed States. Last, but not least, was the talk given by O. M. Plummer, Manager of the Pacific , International Livestock Exposition. Mr. Kunze truly said that Mr. Plummer wax to well known to need an introduction. He spoke of the Northwestern Holstein tour to Carnation as an event worthy of men tion. He spoke in favor of Boy’s and Girl’s club work, and in contrasting boys and girls of today and the boys and girls of fifty years ago, he said that unlike the later the boy's calf of today did not become dad’s cow. In speaking of the Tillamook Valley he stated that the spirit of dairying was born into Its citixenx and called at- tentiou to County Dairy Inspector Dolph Tinnerstett’s two year old daughter who endeavored to milk Mr. Meyer’s model Holstein cow dur- ing Mr. McArthur's talk. Mr. Plummer’s talk brought the meeting to an end. All the members turned homeward declaring that a g<Mxl time was had by all.
