Is there any other section in the
State of Washington that can come up
to that? They are a bunch Of boosters
down there, and there is not knock
er among them that know anything
about. They ale workers there. They
certainly have fine little valley down
in hat section of the country. They
are shut off to some extent from the
rest Of us and their chief market is
Oregon, and yet they are loyalty sup

that we conld find some method that
we could get in the dairymen of the
state. They have struck the keynote.
Their method / believe Is Il feasible
method for organizing the dairymen,
for getting the dairymen of the state
together.
1t has been, | guess, ever since the
association was organized that, if yon
had a good dairy convention, you had
to go to the dairymen rather than ask
them to come to the convention.
[ felt that, when we are conducting
a meeting that all the time SO far it
was necessary for us to go into some
section where there are some dairymen

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
meu: i would like to bring thu sub
iect of county dairy associations In
connection with the State Dairymen' s
Association before this meeting.
The State Dairymens Association
does not increase in membership as 1T
ought to do. | do not know the NUM-
Der of members at present, but l am
sure 1T is not over 175. think by
county organization we can bring our
membership up into thousands. The
State Association will please pardon
me for taking the liberty OF starting
a subordinate association without
asking permission. l started out to
see what could do in my neighbor-
hood toward forming County Dairy
Association in connection with the
State Association, and it did not take
me long to get 33 members. LII my
action meets with the approval OF this
meeting, | will try to organize WAIKIKI
akum County without any cost to the
State Dairymens Association.
The State Associations loses about
as many old members every year as 1T
GAINS new ones. The reason for this
is there is no one handy to collect

we had a number of men that would
get out and work as Mr.. Sorensen did,
we would no longer be in the neigh

year.
This fall, and l do not know but
what it was along during the summer,
Mr.. SOrenSen wrote to me and wanted
a constitution and by laws of the
State Association and suggested CT
ganizing a county organization, and
was very much pleased to know they
were taking this up, and just few
weeks ago he wrote me and said "We

The chairman of the Committee on
Legislation made the following report:
We have not prepared written re-
port. and ] will give a little outline
of what the committee did in the
matter. We held a joint meeting of
the committee on legislation 10 Seat
tie on January 10th, committees of
the live stock as Ociation and the
dairymans association and discussed
ways and means of taking our matter
~ before the legislature; and we also
at the meeting drafted our stallion
bill that this association and the
Pure Bred Live Stock Breeders AS
ISOLATION requested us to do at their
last annual meeting.
On February 9Th we had joint

and livestock committee and left the
stallion bill with the chairman to be

referred back to this committee and
died there.
We also went before the committee
on appropl iations and talked appro-
priations for agricultural work.

will enable US to increase and hold

collect the fees and forward them to
the treasurer of the State Dairy AS
ISOLATION.
1t is especially necessary at this
time for dairymen to olganize, as
there will be big fight in Congress
with the Oleo interests. 1t seems
that the Secretary of the United
States Treasury Is with the Oleo peo-
pie and has recommended that the tax
of ten cents a pound on colored oleo-
margarine be removed and raise the
tax on uncolored from one fourth of
cent, as at present, to two cents per
pound. If this change is made, it will
nearly destroy the dairy industry in
this country, as we all know from
what they were at the time the Grout
bill was passed.
believe in the appointing of dairy
Inspector for every county in the
state to enforce the dairy laws, so that
all daily products will be handled in
sanitary manner. We do not want
the cleo people to keep up the argu-
ment land almost true) that oleo is
more sanitary than the average cream
cry butter. | believe that the in
spector should be an instructor as
we'll as a prosecutor; should be able
to instruct the dairymen who do not
know and prosecute the daiymen who
wilfully disobey the dairy laws of the
state.
The only way to get appropriations
sufficient for proper inspection is to
thoroughly organize every county IN
the state. 1t is votes that count.
Let us be numerous enough to flood
the desks of orr senators and repre-
sentatives with individual letters ask
ing for what we want, and we will be
almost sure to succeed in getting our
demands granted.
| believe that County Dairy Associa-
tions will be great factor in dairy
development of the state. They will
he sure to bring testing associations
which will be a blessing not alone to
the dairymen but also to the creamery
whether it be a cooperative concern
or owned by private individuals.
The creamery is ever a cooperative
institution, and patrons should cor
slider them as such. The creamery
patrons ought to look at it in a prac-
business way that by furnishing the
very best of cream the creamery will
raise the quality of the manufactured
article and enable the creamery to
demand the very highest price. by
association the dairymen will soon
learn that it does not pay to be dirty,
but to handle milk and cream in SAM
tary way for the price of the manufac-
tured product determines the price
of the raw material. Ii you can bring
proof to show that dairymen are los
ing money by being dirty they will
generally mend their ways. This
would prove blessing to the con-
sumner, to the creamery man and to
the dairy industry generally.

POULTRY NOTES.

Gather the eggs several times a day.
Clean out the nest boxes and burn
the old straw
The heavy laying hen usually lays a
normal, medium sized egg.
Start right by getting better hens;
end right by keeping them better.
Gull the surplus poultry. Keep only
such fowls as you are assured are
money-makers.
Do not try to start a new breed.
There are plenty now, and you would
be sure to get nothing but scrubs for
your pains.
Lime is great cleanser Hens must
have lime or they cannot manufacture
eggshells. Lime is very useful about
the poultry premises.
If your flock of hens does not pro-
duce god average of fertile eggs,
better introduce new blood. Secure
some healthy males from another
flock
One necessity for the turkey raiser
on the average farm is a tree for
roosting purposes. turkey does not
like house. but much prefers an open
place to roost.
Many VINO keep the poultry houses
clean overcrowd their chickens and
then wonder why they lose their
fowls Let the chickens have plenty
or rooms and fresh air.
Keep your chicks tame. It is a nui-
sance to have to use shotgun to
catch chicken. Insubator chicks
have this advantage, they are accus-
toned to being handled and are never
rendered unmanageable through fright

an opening between the walls of ten
inches to be filled with sawdust. Be-
fore putting In the sawdust we wired
the frames together as shown In the
picture. Then when the ice was
packed in the sawdust there was no
bulging of the walls.
In front there is a continuous door
way three feet wide. For this open
ing there are eight doors three feet
square, four for each wall; there are
strips nailed to each side of the open
ing to hold them in position till saw
dust is placed between them, as the
house is filled.
We cut the cakes of ice two feet
square. This makes five rows of
cakes across each way of the house
and leaves space of one foot around
the wall Of one foot to be filled with
sawdust.
The cakes are all sawed the same
size and laid In tins so the cracks be-
tween the tins will be continuous, so
the water from melting will run off
easily and not melt the Ice so rapidly
as II let run over and stand on the
ice any length of. time.
After filling In four or five feet
deep with ice, sawdust is packed In
tight between the ice and the wall,
and so on until the house is full. then
about one foot deep of sawdust is put
on top.
There is a door In each end of the
house near the comb three feet square
for ventilation, a screen of fine wire
is put on the inside of each door to
keep out sparrows and other birds
that would be likely to roost inside.

Cropplna Sod Land.

Sod land is very good for almost all
crops II the season is seasonably wet
and other conditions are favorable,
One of the worst troubles with corn
in sod land is that the cutworms living
in the sod destroy much of the young
corn. BY plowing sod land for corn
in late fall or winter many of the cut
worms will be destroyed. Also, when
the land is plowed at this time the sod
will have more time to settle and de-
cay, and the corn next season will
stand dry weather better. II the sod
must be plowed again next spring. no
harm. but much good, will be done.

disking we'll after plowing is labor
