DAIRY PRODUCTION OF THE NORTHWEST
Report Of Thomas Owens Chairman the Dairy Products
Pacific Northwest Advisory
Olympic Hotel in Seattle December is, 1926

This being the first report of the
Dairy Products Committee which was
appointed at the September meeting
of the board, which was held in Port
land, Oregon, we propose to give an
outline of the growth of the Dairy
Products Industry in the Pacific
Northwest for the past several years.
This Committee has devoted most of
it's efforts to organization and accumu-
lation of statistics and it's first meet
ing will be held December 14th.
Some difficulty has been expert
enced in getting the cooperation of
the men best fitted to serve the needs
of the committee in the different dis
tricts but for the most part we have
found willingness to aid, and we
believe with better understanding
of the purpose of the organization
will come a greater willingness to be
of service.
Following is brief historical out
showing the growth of the Dairy In
line of conditions in the territory
dustry. While we have not been able
to secure all the data we need for
this purpose we believe the following
will give some idea of conditions in
the industry which has developed I'M
TIL it is second only to lumber as a
revenue producer. 1t has also devel-
oped as direct producer of railroad
tonnage. When consideration is given
to the correlated tonnage the indus
try creates in shipments of hay, grain
and grain by-products, materials used
In production manufacture and prep
aration for market, machinery and
equipment for farms, supplies for
those engaged in the industry, ETC.,
then we find it very close indeed to
our leading industry, lumber, as a
revenue producer.
OF the three Northwest states. in
this Boards territory, Washington Is
the largest producer of dairy products.
The creamery butter production in
this state for the eight years tabu-
lated here show to what proportions
this part of the industry has grown in
comparison with the two neighboring
states, each having made very cred
liable advances:

Jerry Mahan queried.
Doc tried to conceal his satisfaction
Don't think he's got enough pep" he
responded.
"Oh, well, if it's pep you're looking
for, just keep Augie on the job"
Fraid I'll have to-" Doc grimaced.
He didn't make any changes that day
or the next The team was only one
game from the lead and il he pulled
Augie and lost he'd be roasted harder
than ever
The first night at home Augie called
on Cordelia and they wandered out to
sit in the hammock on the lawn. Doc
got his grand idea. Getting the gar
den hose in readiness, he turned it
full on Augie as an automobile swung
past. Augie loosed roar and de-
manded to know what the joke was
II was goin' to sprinkle the grass"
Doc snickered, "and those lights got
me befuddled"
So Augie complained of cold next
day, and Doc chuckled as he sent
Pitts to third. The boy did well, field
ing steadily and making bingle at
an opportune time. He played again
next day and performed almost fash
lily. Doc Bell would have been truth
fully happy were it not for Jerrys per-
sistent reminding him that he had
found the new star.
Augie's cold passed and he showed
up at the park again, and took his
place in practice beside Pitts. The
latter scooped up the first chance and
tossed it to first
"Say, kid do you want to have bad
luck?"
what do you mean, bad luck?"
why, you should always throw the
first ball to the left fielder. Other
wise
"Rats!" snorted Pitts.
At game time Doc signaled Augie
off the field
"Pm all right again. Augie remon-
strated.
II want to be sure" Doc said sober
ly. "Take it easy"
Pitts actually performed sensation
ally. He was fighting for berth, and
was making the most Of the oppor-
tunity AS the fans encouraged him,
Augie twisted on the bench.
II ought to be out there" he
moaned.
Doc flushed, and intimated he could
take the bull by the horns. Maybe
I'll use you for utility" he grinned
I'D quit"
you mayi1ave chance Doc NUT
tered.
This stirred Augie, and he was at
Docs when the latter arrived home.
We've decided to be married to-
morrow, while Augie isn't able to
play" Cordelia said.
Docs head whirled. But somehow
he called upon his reserve power of
resistance and whipped out of his
trance.
Il think that's fine" he stammered.

Creamery Butter Production

-Approx1mated.
The principal breed ofgcattle in the
state of Washington for dairy pur
poses is the Holstein Freisian. OF
this breed, Washington has but a per
cent of the purebred animals in the
United States, and holds So per cent
of the milk production and Is per
cent of the butter-fat production on
official records. Washington has bred
and developed more COWS of this
breed, that have exceeded a produc.
ton of over 10000 lbs. of milk in 365
days, than any other state.
An Idaho cow, developed and owned
in Washington holds the Worlds milk
production record over all breeds with
the. stupendous production of 37,146
pounds of milk in 1855 days. returning
"a year later with production of over
$4,000 pounds.
Washington state has held for sew
eral years the highest average milk
production per COW in the whole
country, according to the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture. 60
Washington has developed. more
COWS that have broken worlds records
for production than any other state.
Our cattle have been exhibited at
the leading livestock shows through
out the United States and have in
many instances won the highest hon
ors. One herd has just returned from
a trip of over 5000 miles covering all
the leading dairy cattle shows from
the Pacific to the Atlantic and win
ming many of the highest awards at
those shows.
Oregon is considered the foremost
state by all breeders of Jersey cattle,
having been quite a contender for
high butter-fat production with this
breed and claiming several of the
world record COWS of the Jersey
breed
The development of the dairy
breeds of cattle has taken great
stride and has increased. the produc-
ton of creamery butter over 10000
900 pounds in the last nine years.
Idaho has for a number of years
suffered from a number of ailments
in agriculture, the embargoes on the
hay production and low, return from
wheat growing has had tendency to
advance dairy production as will be
noted by the rapid increase in the last
three years in the production of

Her father stopped his slapping of

To the open door came man

gently, hopefully. would do as the

She hesitated she smiled - and

restrained the ogre who was climb

him.
Remember your promise. Mr.. Bell.
And if you can't do that, think what
juicy news l could give to the sport

Doc Bell groaned weakly, and then
he climbed out and mounted the seat
with the driver. ITO the parsonage"
he ordered.

PREVENTING HEART DISEASE

EN- llNS TIENn oiSINS-
Heart disease has become the lead
ing cause of death in the United
States, SO it is evident that if the
death rate is to be reduced, proven
tive measures must be observed from
childhood Ignorance of the causes
of heart disease is largely responsible.
Statistics show that one fifth of all
children ten years of age are going
to, sooner or later die of heart
disease.
What are these fatal causes? In
fections of the throat and tonsils are
the most frequent cause in children
Just sore throat, which perhaps
started as a simple cold, has caused
thousands of cases. Tonsil infections
are recognized as the very great
cause of valvular heart disease in
youths. AS children usually do not
complain of sore throat and tonsilitis,
parents must maintain rigid inspec-
ton of threats if they would prevent
heart disease.
Other diseases which may involve
the heart are influenza, pneumonia,
typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria and
syphilis. If you have had any of
these diseases, do not assume that
your heart is uninjured. You owe it
to yourself to have on occasional
examination of heart, throat and
other sources of focal infection.
Aside from infectinos, there are
two other important causes of heart
disease. One Is the too-strenuous
life. The human heart will stand an
enormous amount of wear and tear
yet the strenuous life, with insuffi-
Client regular exercise and overeating
exacts it's toll. Close mental applica-
ton, under high tension, is dangerous.
All these conditions may be found in
factories, offices, and in the home
and social activities.
Crowding into cities, masses work
ing in vilely ventilated rooms, living
and working in crowded conditions,
are all conducive to nose and throat
infections. Breathing an atmosphere
saturated with disease germs is an
other cause of heart disease. How
may we protect our children and our
selves from this weakness? By
guarding against colds, taking care of
the general health, keeping the nose
and throat in healthy condition, and
by having infected tonsils removed
before they have had time to cause
injury

| You can be married in the mornin'."
Cordelia giggled and throwing her
arms about Augie's neck, kissed him
| several times. Doc had to call on the
reserve power again.

last, watch out for bad signs. /

unhappy"
"Oh. I'll watch that Augie de-
clared confidently There's only one
thing that could be bad for U.S."
you'll watch out for it, won't you7"
Doc eyed him shrewdly.
Sure. I'll sit on the seat with the
driver, and make him drive slow, and
| if black one crosses our path Wen
stop and turn back around another
street."
| Docs next remark was silky in it's
smoothness. "Black cat, you mean?"
| Sure. They can ruin a wedding"
you'll be careful, won't you,
| Augie?"
| Doc rushed away. Two cigars and
brisk walk, and then he had cooled
a little, and formulated his plans. He
sought Jerry Mahan, the only man
available whom he could trust.
$50 you want black cat to stop
the marriage, eh?"
Eyes. You can see Pm desperate"
| Jerry became reminiscent "You
haven't always treated me the way I'd
like to be treated Mr.. Bell. For in
stance, l rather like Cordelia, and
could make her good husband Have
you given me any encouragement?
No! You scared me away. And now,
when you're. in trouble, you come to
me. What sort of man are your"
you always act kind O. stuck up"
That's your idea. Well, if l help
you, you've got to promise to let me
see Cordelia occasionally if she'll let
me come. Is it a go?"
you've got me-" Doc mumbled.
Nov for black cat"
Ten o'clock, and the taxi moved
slowly, oh, SO slowly, forward. On
the front seat the driver fidgeted as
the bridegroom-to-be restrained him
from driving faster. On the rear seat
were Cordelia and her father. The
daughter was all smiles, while her
father was determined and pale about
the mouth, and his eyes were strained
on the sidewalk ahead. Then - he
saw Jerry, a box in his hands /. :.
waiting.
| Just as they were about abreast of
him black demon leaped from the
box he held and plunged wildly and
| blindly across the street, two feet
from the car! Augie emitted a Shrek
and stabbed at the brake pedal. The
grooming of metal stopped ten feet
along. On Augie's countenance white
and blue We're struggling for suprem-
acy. His lipe quiyered; he climbed
down and looked in upon Cordelia.
"I'm sorry" he mumbled, I'VE
couldn't beat the jinx, girl. We'd get
a divorce, sure as the world is round.
Its-all Off" He rapidly disappeared
Cordelia comprehended slowly, and
her outburst was worse than Augie's.

creamery butter. Idaho has bought
considerable number of dairy cattle
and is still in the market for more
and fast advancement in dairy pro-
duction will be seen there in the next
few years.
While large volume of the milk
produced in this territory is con-
sumed in fluid form and handled by
trucks for the plants that process and
distribute 1t, considerable amount
of the increased production from
year to year is used up by increased
population in the large cities. A con-
siderable amount finds its markets in
Alaska and the Philippine Islands.
Washington alone exported to those
two markets $2,554,OOO worth of dairy
produce in 1925 and similar amount
in 1923 and 1924.
In 1897 the first condensary was
established in the State of Washing
ton. Since that time condensing and
evaporation of milk has advanced con-
siderably. There are at this time.
some nine huge plants of this nature;
they are also equipped to manufac-
ture several other products such as
butter, powdered milk, dry butter
milk, casein, condensed buttermilk.
These plants being ready to handle
the raw product in any one of those
forms places them in position that
will prevent any glut of any one form
of product, at any time.
Considerable advancement has been
made by the cooperation Of dairy
farmers. In 1920 several counties
formed associations, in some in
stances taking over by purchase sew
eral of the large manufacturing
plants. Organization was started in
county units, affiliated with state
or central marketing corporation
through which all the produce of
those plants are sold. Several of
those organizations are now finan-
cially in the clear or very nearly SO,
and we understand have considerable
stock in the central or marketing or
ganization which they hope to pur-
chase completely in the next two
years.
There are in the state of Washing
ton some 16 dairy product associa-
lions, with an aggregate membership
of $3.50; in Oregon % associations
with a membership of 1882, and in
Idaho nine associations with mem
bership of 4,107; in all 81 cooperative
associations with membership of
11,70S.
There are some 275,000 dairy cows
in Washington valued at SIS, 150,0 900;
1926 farms of 12,60S.234 acres, aver
aging 172 acres per farm in 1925 COM
pared with 66,28S farms of 13,144,72
acres averaging 200 acres per farm
in 1920.
We would estimate that the Yakima
Valley produces some 100000 tons of
hay a year and about 80 per cent OF
this is consumed by dairy herds west
of the Cascade Mountains in Wash
ington and Oregon. Large quantities
of grain and by-products transported
by the railroads is fed in those herds.
The largest volume of milk is pro-
duced during April. May and June,
which through the use of storage gen.
orally moves out very evenly through
the year, there are about 1850 cars
of dairy products shipped out of the
state each year. with very little radi-
cal fluctuations in the demand for
shipping equipment.
Car requirements for this territory
for the next three months will ap-
proximate $50 cars.
