ARMY OFFICIALS THANK LOCAL
WOMEN FOR FRUIT JUICES

Lynden women were heartily
thanked this week for their contrib
utiOns of fruit juices to the Fort
Worden hospital by the officials at
the fort, and by the Northwest Field
Director of the Red Cross.
Through the National League for
Women's Service, a shipment Of fruit
juices consisting of several barrels
was sent to the Fort hospital. The
juice was all the more appreciated
as the Fort hospital was crowded
with influenza victims, several Lyn-
den boys being among them. The
dried fruit prepared by the Lynden
women was sent overseas.
w. J. Daily, field director Of the
Red Cross for the Coast Defenses of
Puget Sound, writes as follows:
81 wish to acknowledge receipt at
this Post of four barrels and a box
of fruit juice for use in the hospital.
wish to assure you that this act
was keenly appreciated by the Med
ical authorities here as we'll as by
the patients. I have advised the
Post Surgeon as to the sender and
doubtless you will also receive from
him acknowledgment of thanks and
appreciation"
Major John G. Byrne of the Med
ical Corps at the Fort sent the fol-
lowing letter:
1.-The interest displayed by the
members of the National League for
Women's Service in sending us a
shipment of fruit is greatly apprec-
lated, and l wish to thank you, on
behalf of the boys in the hospital for
your very acceptable gift"

PIONEERS TO GATHER
ON THANKSGIVING DAY
Will Celebrate Birthday OF State And
Meeting; Many Meals Promised

Twenty-Five years ago, people
were still riding on bikes that had
the big six-foot wheel in front, and
the little caster trailing along be-
hind. All those in the Lynden dis
trict who were in the State of Wash
ington in those brave days will gath
er at the Odd Fellows Hall Thanks
giving Day to give thanks that ev-
erybody wasn't killed by falling off
the dangerous contraption referred
to above, and incidentally to celeb
rate the birthday of the State.
The annual meeting of the Clam
Diggers Club is usually scheduled for
November II, but the influenza and
the peace celebration caused a post
ponement until Thanksgiving Day.
All pioneers and their families are
urged to attend the annual celebrat-
ion.
A program will be given after the
clans, and other courses have been
tucked away around noon, and few
quadrilles will be stepped off after
dinner number two at six o'clock
The ladies are asked to bring we'll
filled baskets to the dinner.

An extension of time for the form
alton of a cow-testing association in
The Lynden district has been granted
by County Agent H. 3. Carroll, jr.,
because he was unable to visit Lyn-
den this week. Two hundred Sumas
COWS were enrolled in the assOciat-
ion last week, making a total of 800
already on the rolls.
This is half of the number neces-
sary, and Mr.. Carroll hopes to be
able to complete this list this week.
The value of cow testing assOciat-
ions is pointed out this week in a
bulletin issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The ex-
perts of the Department have the
following to say about them:
Every dairyman should know the
daily production of each cow in his
herd. Such knowledge can be gained
only by the intensive use of the scales
and the Babcock test. This is the
era of the cow testing association, as
such cooperative work is effective in
the detection of Improbable cows as
we'll as in properly regulating the
amount of feed which should be sup
piled to each cow in the herd. The
records of one cOw-testing association
show that during a two-year period
the cows which received 1900 pounds
of concentrates yielded an average
income above the cost of feed of $33
an animal, while the cows which were
fed between 1900 and 1900 pounds of
of concentrates yielded an income in
excess of feed costs of SAP. The ami
mails which were fed over 1900
pounds of concentrates earned a net
of $55 a head over feed cost. These
figures illustrate the value of better
cows and better systems of feeding
according to production.
The average of the records of 40
cow-testing associations shows a rap
id advance in income over cost OF
feed as the quantities of grain fed in,
4
creased In this instance the cost OF
concentrates for the first lot OF cows
was 81 piece, while their income
over cost of feed was SIS. The concen
trates for the best lot of cows cost
$3S, while their net earning capacity
was Sis. In word, it would re
quire a herd of 23 cows similar tt
those in the first group to produce a:

the last group.
Two large herds in a certain COW
testing association were fed alike
both being supplied with compare
lively high grain ration. One here
responded to the liberal feeding
while the other did not. The aver
age income per animal over cost o
feed for the first herd was SIS whil

GIVES TRACT ON NOOKSACK MT.
FOR USE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

Aaron Wolander, a resident of the
Nooksack-Everson district, has do
mated 207 acres of land on Sumas
mountain Commonly known as
Nooksack mountain) to Whatcom
county Gin full and complete charge
of the county superintendent of
schools, for the use and benefit of
the common schools and school chill
dren of Whatcom county, Washing
ton, said lands to be named Aaron
School Park it being the desire of
the grantor that said premises shall
be used for the purposes of nature
study by the school children of What
com county, for the study of birds,
trees and all forms of natural life,
for the use as a picnic grounds and
playground and for the purpose of
an observation post to study the ac-
tivities of man in Whatcom county,
and for any purpose that will be for
the advantage, education and plea
sure of the school children"
The gift includes part of the Hay
den lake, a beautiful body of water
forty feet deep in places, which has
been noted for it's excellent trout
fishing, but is at present nearly "fish-
ed out" The county superintendent s
Office plans to restock the lake with
small trout. Little lake" is also in
cluded in the gift this spot being
noted for it's spring Of ice cold water
which bubbles up summer and win
ter. A natural field, the bed of an
old lake, covered with an abundant
growth of native grass, about five
acres in area, is also within the lin
its of this grant, and will make a
most excellent playground for the
school children when they picnic at
the new park.
The southwest corner Of the new
tract is at the topmost point of Su-
mas mountain, near what used to
be known as the "flagpOle," a gov
ernment geological survey point. for
many years marked by an American
flag. From this point, on clear days
one can see almost anywhere in the
western part of Whatcom county, and
it is the plan of the county superin'
tendent's office, in conjunction with
the principals of the county, to build
an observation tower at this point
An excellent trail has been made
by Mr.. Wolander from the farm Of
Gus Westergreen to Hayden lake
This trail is broad and very gentl,
inclined so that pack horses can eas
lily reach the summit of the noun
tain. Excellent mountain stream wa
ter is available at almost any poin
along the trail. Autos may go a.

for the second herd it was only Ga
cents. These results strikingly DEM
onstrate the value of high-producing
cows which are we'll fed according to
production. The low-producing herd
was fed a high grain ration regard
less of milk yield and as a conse-
quence much valuable grain was
wasted. Present conditions demand
that all such wastes should be elm
mated by the retention of none but
high-producing cows in the herd.
A careful tabulation of the feed
records of another cow-testing asso-
citation in which milk production
and income over cost of feed were
high, reveals the fact that the cows
were literally but economically fed.
Silage and leguminous hay consti-
tuted the roughage portion of the
ration while the grain was fed ac-
cording to known production of but
terfat. During the winter these cows
received one pound of grain daily
for each pound of butterfat which
they produced week, while during
the summer when pasture was short
some supplementary grain was also
provided. During cold weather the
cows consumed an average of 33
pounds of silage day, while during
the summer pasturage periods each
COW received a total of GIG pounds of
soiling crops. Generous milk flow
and high butterfat test were the re-
suits of this liberal feeding. The
average butterfat production of all
the cows on test in that association
was 296 pounds and the average
income over cost of feed was $5G
a year. BY the more liberal use OF
soiling crops and silage the cost OF
production could even have been low.
cred.
1t is not only the patriotic duty oi
every dairy farmer to make the most
of his grain but it is also more mon
ey in his pocket where he feeds his
cows according to production and ca
pacity. In England the laws now
limit the amount of grain which car
be fed to dairy cows and other classes
of live stock, and similarly in thi!
country patriotic common sense ant
public opinion should combine in eff
feeting the same end without actua
recourse to legal assistance. Thi
means that every pound of dairy feet
should be devoted to the intensive
production of milk. Keep good COW
and feed them we'll. Get rid of loafe
cows as soon as possible. Keep tract
of the production record of each Gov
in your herd, through the medium o
the cow-testing association. II you
community has no cow-testing asso
citation, organize one and do it now
