Dairymen O f This Section An excellent outlook fo r the dairy industry o f this section was pictured to dairymen who attended the annual meeting o f the Eastern Oregon Dairymen’s association at Haines on Tuesday. One o f the high points was the re port by W. B. Wagner, manager o f the Farmers Cooperative creamery, to which most o f the eastern Oregon dairymen send their cream. Mr. W agner said the I ’ayette creamery made 3,500,000 paunds o f butter last year and did a gross business o f over $2 600,000. It now owns property worth more than $250,000 and - its property is entirely free from debt. A.

Garrett Smit came to this locality in 1924 and purchased 71 acres under the Warmsprings for which he paid $5000. In 1925 his potato crop brought him $5700 from 15 acres, in addition to what he derived from a good wheat and a lfa lfa crop. In 1926 he raised $1800 worth of potatoes, wheat $1000, alfalfa $300 and clover seed $1475, taking a total o f $4575 from his farm that year. In 1927 clovej seed netted him $1800 wheat and barley $600, oats $150 and a lfalfa $400 ,a total o f $2950. The beeman says it pays. In 1926 Pete Peterson sold 800 cases of honey from 250 colonies at 2.75 per case gross. The cost averaged about $1.50 per case, netting him $1.50 per case or about $1200 f6r the honey crop. The turkey grow er has a paying side line. Roy DeArmond started with 64 Mammoth Bronx hens and 6 toms last spring. He raised 750 birds fo r Christmas market and also brood- ing stock. They brought an average o f about $6 "per. The cost o f raising has been estimated at $2 per head, j which leaves a p rofit o f $4 a bird.

M ORRISON’S PARMA, IDAHO o ut Three months late and five months early fo r this locality, a turkey hen hatched out a number o f birds and brought three o f the little stragglers into the farm yard at the W. J. H u ff man ranch near Vale on tho morn ing of December 29. When it came to setting earlier in the fall, the turkey hen had been discouraged by Mrs. Huffman, so she stole her nest out. It was under a weed a quarter o f a mile from the house. A ll during the month of December the plucky little mother kept her nest warm, warding o ff zero weather several days and nights. She hatched out quite a number, although she reached the house with only three hungry little mouths to feed. Perhaps she grew weary o f so many cares. Last Thursday night she deserted her babies, flew up on the roost fo r a good night’s rest, only to find the three little turks frozen to death next morning. Hatching season in this loaclity s in May and June: In a few. in dances mother hens w ill raise one lock o f birds and then attempt to ;et again in the fall, but never later han in September. Growers say hat in California turkeys have been known to hatch out in the winter months. Maybe, Mrs. Turkey thought this was California.

Mrs. Crail was in attendance a t the school superintendents’ conference and “ t the meeting o f the Oregon State Teachers association. The superintendents’ association lavored the distribution o f the county school fund on a teacher basis, rather than on a school census basis as at present. They also went on record os opposed to a proposed change in the method o f handling funds of school districts of the third class which would take this resonsibility out of the hands o f the district .Jerk’s and center it in the office if the county treasurer. Zoning of counties fo r the purpose o f conduci ng eighth grade examinations, which are now conducted in the various schools thruout the county, also was lavored. The school heads urged in creased federal aid for boys and g irls ’ club work.

Edward Ostrander and L. E. Bean, public service commis sioners, have been in southern Ore gon points again this week in the in terest o f the proposed east and west rail line, whose fate is pending be fore the interstate commerce commis sion. That the rail would mean much to the state is conceded and would be of great benfit to the central O re gon country by placing producers closer to markets. The public service commission has stated it has no par ticular route to recommend, but is gatering facts, visible and prospec tive tonnage and showing present conditions that would justify the construction o f tranportation lines through this territory.

BURNS CONCERNED OVER TIMBER DEAL Much concern is fe lt in Burns over what will happen to the timber development now that the forest de- l.armcnt has canceled the Herrick , onti act. The timber is to be re- .idvrtised, but i f the minimum price to be considerd is too high then bid- drs may not be interested. "W hoever gets the timber will, presumably, hav to deal with Herrick for his saw mill plant and railroad,” said C. B. McCullough o f Burns in a recent in terview. "T h e government has nothin gto say about the Herrick property. The sawmill is practically completed and the railioad has been laid fo r 50 miles, up to Lincoln ranch< from whic hpoint a logging road ha» been built fo r eight miles up Shirt- taid creek. The whole enterprise war just about ready to start when thr contract for the timber was can ci led. Well, Herrick was slow, true, but there are others who are slow and there was a promise o f a reser- oir for impounding water and tt hasn’t materialized.

The Herrick road has no rolling stock and the Union Pacific had to send a train in to bring the cattle.” HOMEDALE Mrs. Isaac Miller has gone to Declo to spend several weeks.
