Imported Jerseys. Mr.. Graves says,
are slight of build and of a feminine
type, but in few generations here is
transformed into rugged, masculine
type. The Jersey, in his opinion, is
the best dairy breed for the Inland
Empire. She is good rustler, eco-
nOmically kept, a large producer of
rich milk, and so easy to handle that
the wife or children can take care of
her.

A full-bloOded mich cow for every
home, sparing the family purse and
bringing health and happiness to the
children; the expensive "boarder COW"
eliminated from all dairies large and
small, and replaced by high produc-
ing thoroughbred; our nation at the
top of the list among other nations in
record production per cow and record
percentage of pureblooded cows in the
dairy herds of the United States: this
is the vision of Jay p. Graves, owner
of the Waikiki Jersey farm, and pio-
neer dairyman of Eastern Washing
ton. But this is not all: Mr.. Graves
believes that the high-producing dairy
cow is solution of the problem of
reclaiming the thousands upon thou
sands OF acres of now waste cut-Over
timber land in the state OF Washing
ton, as well as the additional thou
sands of acres in the other northwest
ern states. This would mean, too, the
establishing of cheese factories and
milk condensing plants at Spokane
and other industrial centers.
Twenty-one years ago Mr.. Graves
purchased the Waikiki property and
set out to produce breed and quail
ity of dairy cow which would be the
most profitable of all others for the
Inland Empire. His more than 20
years of dairy experience on the Wal
kiki farm have been a period of genu-
ine scientific experimentation. It has
been a labor of love with Mr.. Graves:
a love for the work and a sincere de-
sire to advance the welfare of his fell
low dairymen of the great northwest
Starts With shorthorns.
Soon after purchasing the Waikiki
property Mr.. Graves brought out from
his home town in Illinois a number of
Shorthorns A period of careful breed
ing and testing followed which proved
to him that the ShorthOrns were not
the right breed for this part Of the
country The Holstein cow was then
put under the same thorough try-out
that had been given the ShOrthorns,
but in time she, too, was out of the
running For Mr.. Graves was looking
for that strain of dairy COW which
would not only be large producer of
milk and have high percentage of
butter fat but which would also be
exactly adapted to this climate and
therefore would thrive better than any
other To this high standard the Ayr
shire, which followed the Holstein at
Waikiki, failed to measure up. Then
came the Jersey, and she came to
stay; for today the Waikiki Jersey
farm is famous throughout the entire
northwest, and thousands of dollars
worth of purebred Jersey bulls and
cows are sold in Washington, Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon, Nebraska, Wis.
consin and British Columbia. Ninety

The calves have come into such
great demand thatthis year, within 80
days after the first public announce
ment that this sears calves were
ready for distribution, 81 letters of ap-
plication had been received and more
than 20 other applications by tele-
phone or verbal request, land they are
still coming in says Mr.. Graves. In
fact, the desire for these calves is so
great that Mr.. Graves says he contem-

Gives Away BIooded Calves.
Having desire to assist in estab'
fishing the dairy industry in the cut
over lands of eastern Washington,
Idaho and western Montana, Mr..
Graves last year offered to give away
20 purebred bull calves each year for
a period of three years. Last years
calves were given away to individuals
and bull clubs, since which time many
letters of appreciation have been re-
ceived. OF these, the following is a
fair sample. 1t was received from E..
F. Hanson, president of the club at
Careywood, Idaho:
"Your letter with registration GER
