PROGRAM FOR GUERNSEY BREEDERS
Room 308, Dairy Building.
PROCLAMATION TO ALL GUERNSEY BREEDERS.
Ho! ye arrogant Guernsey breeders of Oregon, few but fit—hear ye,
hear ye! By behest of the dairy maids of 0. A C., sovereigns of the
mincing contest, and by virtue of authority vested in me by General
Approval, I hereby announce a star-chamber session of all loyal breeders
of "Queen's Cattle" in Oregon, for Tuesday, February second, 1915.
Come out and show your colors. Come out and rub elbows with the
rest of the dairy people, including the dairy specialists of the College
and of the United States Department of Agriculture. Come out and
help put the world-beauty and the world-beater on the map of the Pacific
Coast,—twice world's champion--champion today—the favorite of Queen
Victoria and the choice of Governor Withycombe! Come out and see
the new Guernsey group at the College dairy, splendid young specimens,
23
with magnificent breeding. Come out and get acquainted with the rest
of the Guernsey enthusiasts—the men and women who are proud of the
fawn-and-white cow, of her long and faithful milking qualities, of her
rich, fine-flavored milk, and her golden butter! Come out and take part
in a live program; enjoy a big event in a big institution of a big State,
and carry away some big ideas—with the ginger to put 'em across.
Yours for an Oregon Guernsey Club,
F. K. HULL,
Hull's Spring Ranch, Monmouth.
