information was obtained by return
postal cards mailed to members of the
alumni, and many former students. ,ev-
eral hundred returns have been re-
ceived pcdging attendance graduates
and former students, and this does not
take into consideration the large number
of both from large centers of member

The attendance will not only be from
practically every county and most of
the towns of Oregon, but will also be
representative of rumber of places
outside the state. The Agricultural Col

places outside of Oregon and many of
them who have returned 20 thei. former
homes have promised to attend these
exercises and be here for Home Com

These members take no note of the
general run of visitors including rela-

oREscf DAIRY RECORDS HIGH.
T~liE SUPREMACY of Oregon as dairy
y state, so often asserted by the Agri-
cultural College Dairy department,
| is verified by tests and records made
in various parts of the state. The mum.
ber of cattle of any one breed in Ore
gon rs very small in compari on with tho
number OF that breed in the United
States, yet the number Of cows that have
made note worthy records in Oregon is
very large Percentage Of the entire
| number in the United States.
in the Jersey breed this condition is
most noticeable Of sixteen cows in the
United States that have produced over
900 pounds of butter fat in year
cows, 20 per cent, are in Oregon. OF 80
that have produced more than 500
pounds Of butter, 6 COWS. 90 per cent,
are in Oregon. Of l0J cows that have
produced more than 700 pounds of but
ter within year IA, almost IA per cent
are in Oregon. There are but cows in
the whole country that have produced
above 1000 pounds Of butter per year,
but there is ono more that came within
III ounces of reaching the mark, and
that one is an Oregon cow
The foregoing figures are from Of
fieial records, which are Kept by but
few dairymen. There are more than so
breeders of pure bred Jerseys in Oregon,
and but twelve are doing advanced reg.
stry work. This is called poor show
ing by Professor Graves, head of tho
College Dairy department, but it has ac-
complished enough to show Oregon s un-
excelled dairy resources.

A Story of a Witch - E
Fern Ollie

A long time ago when there were
witches and giants, lived two little
boys, Willard and James.
One day they went oat into tho woods
to gather berries
The little boys knew there Were
witches and looked in every hush be-
fore they gathered any berries.
The sun was very hot and VIII. the
youngest was getting hungry and 80
James thought they might as well eat
their lunch.
They were having flne time playing
with their buckets when all Of a sudden
Will cried out look at that beautiful cat
and James caught it and gave it to
Will.
While they were playing with It, 1t
put it's paw around Wills neck. This
made the boys laugh loud, only they
didn't laugh long for the cat had turn
ed into an old witch.
The old witch had the power to
change herself into cat 80 s1e could
catch children that way.
The old witch caught the chEadren
and was preparing to eat them and
had hung on tree ready to lot the
limb fan and crush them but they had
one friend in the woods and that was
tho lion
The limb was about to fail when the
lion came up and killed tho witch .and
set the boys free.
