NOTED AGRICULTURIST
IN FAVORING OF DAIRYING

At a recent meeting Of the Oregon
Dairymen's association, c. L. Smith,
agrlculturlst of the O.-W. Z. r. & N.
Co, was one the the speakers. Pre-
ceding his address, there were a
number of speakers and they express
ed the opinion that dairying was no
longer profitable.
Mr.. Smith took an opposite view.
lie said that after so years associa-
ton with the dairy interests of the
country and a careful study of condi-
tions from the Atlantic to the Pacific
he had failed to find a place where
the right kind of a COW, and the right
Find of a man, combined with the
right kind of land, failed to give sat-
isfactory results.
Dairymen are commercializlng the
industry. They buy their feed, hire
men to do the work and expect 4
lrofit. Now they are asking the gov
ernment to regulate the price of feed
and to raise the price of milk.
Butter is retailing at So cents a
pound. This is eXorbitant. The
wholesale price of butter should be
based on the wholesale price of its
ingredients, which is 80 cents per
pound. This would leave the whole
saler a handsome profit at 40 cents
rer pound, or even less.
The trouble is that the dairymen
are not giving their personal atten-
tion to the business. They are let
ting the hired man do the work, ana
he is apathetlc.
No country in the world is better
adapted to dairying than the Pacific
northwest. Pasturing COWS and buy
ing feed is wrong, when one acre of
land properly utilized for soiling
crops will feed four times the num-
Ger of cows that the same area will
feed if used as a pasture.
If the dairyman will Gull out the
boarders in his herd and raise his
feed he will have no ground for
complaint. Intelligent, practical
profitable dairying is the marketing
of well grown forage, grain and root
crops in the form of milk and butter
fat.

serious crimes against property ana a
glance at any newspaper confirms
the horribly increasing number OF
burglaries and robberies In the cities
as we'll as in rural districts. Systema-
tically organized and methodically
operating bands of robbers menace
continually life and property OF re-
spectable' citizens.
also honesty OF the latter has
suffered q perceptible crack and
here the influence Of the steel bath
is directly proved. We do not fear
that we are disclosing any state
ondangering secret when we an
nounce the fact that at present there
are probably few German subjects
who have not in some more or less
serious manner violated the existing
government decrees and laws and
made themselves liable to punish
ment."
The Vowaerts then dwells on the
effects OF the steel bath on the grow
ing generation and cites complaints
oy the clergy and teachers to show
that depravity is one of the results.

mittee has gained the impression that
it is proposed that youths between

Army and marine corps casualties
in the fighting on the Marne-Aisne
salient made public Thursday by the
war department numbered 4sS-S5S
soldiers and 140 marines. This has
brought the toll of victory which be-
gan to arrive Wednesday to 1913,

in France to 16,4O9.
Thursdays army list contained
mostly the names Of wounded,

These lists do not represent any
