By IRA MILLER Farm Electrification Bureau IT7ITH the almost complete disap- * V pearance of the village black smith from the rural scene, and be cause of the large amount of labor- saving machinery used in the busi ness of modern agriculture, farmers have found it more and more neces sary to rely on their own skill and ingenuity for major repairs and re placements as well as for the ordi nary maintenance they always have done. It is obvious, therefore, that every farm should have an orderly and complete workshop so that re pairs can be made quickly to keep a crew of men working. On occasions, it might even save an entire crop. If a farmer has a workshop, well- equipped with electrically-operated tools, he frequently can save the wasted time and expense of a trip to town for replacements or, where one still can be found, to the black smith shop for repairs. If it Is ade quately lighted, and the repairs are not of an emergency nature, he can make them at night after other chores are done. Cecile Whitman, who was operat ed upon for appendicitis a week ago, is convalescing nicely. Visitors at the Ewen Chard home Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

RICHLAND 4-H CLUB By Vernon Maw Small electric motors in the farm workshop will run a lathe, drill, forge, grindstone, metal and wood saws, planer, splicer and many other tools formerly operated by hand. Such motors are so low in both orig inal cost and operating expense that they easily can pay for themselves in a single season. In addition to the above, there are portable electric drills, grinders and other tools helpful in repairing equipment that is too large or too heavy to bring to the workshop or to take to town. Electric soldering irons, arc welders, gluepots and bat tery chargers also have many uses on every farm. Then, too, electrical tools are use ful in making household repairs—to door and window screens, furniture, kitchen utensils and in many other ways. An electric paint spraying ma chine will not only lighten labor but speed up the work and save paint as well. When the need arises, you will find that the workshop is the most im portant place on your farm. The wir ing and equipping of such a shop should, therefore, have the serious consideration of every farmer. COW ASSOCIATION GROWS Beginning with a membership of 24, the Malheur County Dairy Herd Improvement Association now num bers 36 active members and daily requests are received by other dairy men for membership, according to C. C. Cox. Tests are daily proving that the testing and grading is a necessary and vital advantageous part of dairying. Great interest is being shown by all members according to Cox, in the procuring of sires of higher caliber and already through two group associations a Holstein and a Jersey bull have been brought in from outside territories for herd improvement of the members. Outstanding in tests made for butterfat was one Guernsey cow on the new land, which tested 37.3 pounds of butterfat in one month. Such cows, Cox claims, are born and not made. Which is one more rea son for improved herds. ] them and their son Charles Scott, who is a student at the Eastern NYSSA LUMBER CO.' O L I V E R Phone 118 I John E.
