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.
