WHITE GOLD — Martin Osthoorn, 9650 Miller St., Cypress, chairman of the Dairy Department of the Orange County Farm Bureau, who owns a large dairy in Cypress, looks into the huge cooling val at his dairy. The large insulated tank, in which milking machines pour warm milk for cooling, has two large paddles which keep the milk circulating for consistency and cooling. In less than one minute after the milk leaves the cow at body temperature of 96 degrees, the milk is cooled to 40 degrees (Bulletin Photo) Dairies Make County Huge Milk Producer (Continued from Page 9) about such things, because you know you'll get it all back, with interest." I had to agree with his thinking when I saw the slogan, "Make Mine Milk," on the back bumper of his Cadillac. The remainder of my visits were made on Sunday, but that is just another work day in this industry. John Jaques' men milk 210 head per day. His herd totals 285, including those in the dry pens. He has an output of 9300 pounds of milk since he sleeps while the children play, and vice-versa. He isn't complaining, but says that one full day a week, isn't quite enough time for three boys in a family. All milkers seem to feel that their present chores are only temporary, which they would certainly seem to be. When one talks to owners, who came up through the ranks, Yocom's assistants, Joe Martinez and Louie Barcelias echoed his sentiments, but said that a guy needs time for recreation too. so the milkers have organized a softball team, and hope to get into a league. They played their first game on the might of June 14, against a Portuguese team from Long Beach. My next stop was at Pete Bruinsma's dairy, where Pete Zylstra situated on heavy sea clay, which is highly productive. The rainy there is five hand milked to machine milked cow, and there very few milkmaids left. All the milking is now done by me. The dairy industry is greatly proved, but due to the crowded conditions, the operation must necessity remain much the same as it was 50 years ago. This is easy to understand when there are eleven million people living in an area the size of Orange County. Martin Osthoorn is the Chairman of the Dairy Department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. He dairymen milk 240 Holsteins a day. He says that Orange County is the third largest milk producing county in the United States. Martin raises his own cattle. about such things, because you know you'll get it all back, with interest."

He has an output of 9300 pounds of milk per day. Frank Parriera was in charge when I visited, and his 11-year-old son Lee 'was helping with the milking, which he does on Saturdays and Sundays. He wears his rubber boots with authority, and I'm told is an expert milker The other milkers on duty were Ignacio Garcia and Tony Mertios. The Fernandez brothers' dairy had its beginnings in 1923, when the present owners father, Joe Fernandez settled in Cypress. He and his eldest son, Joe Jr., were then partners. In 1947 two other sons, Tony and Frank, purchased their parents' interest in the dairy farm, where they now milk 310 cows daily. The day I visited the farm, the greatest interest was in Frank's three-week-old daughter. Music Plays Upon entering their barns, I was greeted by the sound of recorded music which plays softly and continuously. I had a short visit with Lonnie Yocum, one of the milkers, while he went about his work. This young man is a native of Missouri, and is the father of four handsome children, and now makes his home in Cypress. His only objection to the dairy business is the split shift that he works, which doesn't give him enough time with his family, when one talks to owners, who came up through the ranks, Yocom's assistants, Joe Martinez and Louie Barcelias, echoed his sentiments, but said that a guy needs time for recreation too, so the milkers have organized a softball team, and hope to get into a league. They played their first game on the night of June 14, against a Portuguese team from Long Beach. My next stop was at Pete Bruinsma's dairy, where Pete Zylstra and Danny Soares milk 175 cows. The handsome young Hollander, Pete Brinsma, is a native of Friesland, where he started milking cows at the age of eight. He came to Cypress in 1937, where he and his wife and their four children now reside, and where he is one of the areas most progressive operators. He took me through his dairy and as we entered the room where the milk vat was being filled I noted that the lid was slightly ajar. When asked why, he said, "That lets the animal flavor out, as the milk cools." Visited Holland In 1952 he and his family visited with his parents in Holland and then toured the remainder of the continent before returning to his adopted land. His observations about the industry over there were as follows, "In Holland the cattle are all pure breed. They also get paid more for their milk. A dollar a gallon in Dutch money is not unusual. A big dairy consists of 30 cows. They raise all of their own feed, then dry their own hay and mill it, which makes a mash, and into this they put some grain, and thus the cost of the feed is kept to a minimum. The Dutch go after quality in preference to quantity. Their small farms are PATIO FURNITURE BARGAINS Redwood TABLE & BENCHES 6 Ft. Set ..... $19.95 4 Ft.

AND WOODEN SHOES, TOO — The Jake Van Leeuwen family, 5731 Orange Ave., Cypress, returned to their homeland in 1951 to visit relatives and while there posed for the above photograph in native costumes. The picture was taken in Volendam, Holland. From left to right are, Jim Bougard, Madeline, Jake Van Leeuwen, Janice, Mrs. Van Leeuwen, Mary and Jack. The family owns and operates a 20-acre dairy stocked with Holsteins. place among his producers. He is authority for the interesting fact that it takes $18,000 worth of milkling equipment alone, to handle an operation of this magnitude. It is easy to believe when one sees the $7000 receiving vat into which the milking machines are pouring the warm milk. In less than a minute after it leaves the cow, at body temperature of 96 degrees, it is down to 40 degrees by means of this insulated cooler. Milkers On Duty Three milkers, Mike Hernandez, Frank Campos, and Philip Sentana, were on duty at the Osthoorn dairy. While the cows munched happily on a mixture of orange pulp, bran and barley, and beet pulp, the boys went from one cow to another attaching the electric milkers from right or left, and not one cow raised a hoof to object to the procedure. ambidextrous. However, Martin Osthoorn says that they still retain a few of their quaint customs. Among them their reluctance to be the one that takes the end stall at milking time. After months of rehearsals an end cow seems to sense her responsibility and will go forth without any prodding and take her place, as the others fall into line after her. John Leal's dairy milks 250 cows daily. There were four milkers on duty the Suzday afternoon that I called. John Kruidhof, Jessie Ybarra, Joe Monteon, and Sam Bylsma. As one group of cows were milked, others fell into line in single file, just like well trained soldiers. Have Huge Barn My last call was a visit to the Van der Feer brothers, Charles and Pete, at their 40-acre Holstein dairy. When he refused to come to meet the photographer, his name mandated an explanation. Down from an invisible hand said, "I'm busy with my layed seven kittens last." As I left the Van der Lea I ran into a tall lanky young what looked like a B. He said that his name Williamson, and that he got out in the feed yards. But there is a lot of health to around a dairy. Now that you have met ed a few of the people' w us with this health-giving might be well if we to words of wisdom from the United States Depa Agriculture. Drinking must amount to money in the paid up annuity, since it impossible to get enough without a regular supply of diet, and it also builds teeth in growing children maintains them in adulthood suggest the following guide: 3 or 4 cups a day.

There are 184 dairies in the Cypress area, thus making the County the third largest milk producing county in the United States.

As one group of cows were milked, others fell into line in single file, just like well trained soldiers. Have Huge Barn My last call was a visit to the Van der Feer brothers, Charles and Pete, at their 50-acre Holstein dairy. Their total herd is 700 and they milk 500 cows daily. Their milking is done under the largest single span barn in Southern California. It holds 183 cows, including the hospital barn. Milk from their cows was pouring continuously into two huge stainless steel cooling tanks. One 1500 gallon capacity and the other 1600. Charles says that the average cow produces 5½ gallons of milk a day. He learned dairying the hard way, having started as a milker. He milked 30 in the morning and 30 at night, all by hand. He and his brother Pete are partners in this huge venture. They came to Los Angeles County 15 years ago, from Sneek, Holland, where they laughingly admit that they were butchers. These two Dutch boys have built a magnificent plant and their two beautiful homes are right next door. One on either side, forming a complete unit, with handsome rose gardens and well kept lawns separating the area between their homes and the dairy. They both agree that the climate in Orange County is ideal for living and dairying. Charles has two children and Peter has six. Two years ago Charles visited Holland. This year it is Pete's turn to travel. When I asked Charles what he thought was the highspot of his visit to his homeland he said, without hesitancy, "Seeing and going through the Wholesale Dairy Warehouse in Rotterdam! Nowhere in the world is there such an operation. This huge structure houses all of the dairy products from 17.5 farms, including all exports and imports. Their efficiency is beyond belief, and what is even more amazing is the fact that they have been able to make such a comeback after the devastation of the last war." Hears Music We were suddenly brought back from Holland by the music of an accordion which was being played in the doorway of the Van der Feer dairy. I said, "Music while you milk?"

He called down from an invisible height and said, "I'm busy with my cat. She layed seven kittens last night." As I left the Van der Feer dairy I ran into a tall lanky youth, wearing what looked like a Balboa tan. He said that his name is Bernie Williamson, and that he got his tan out in the feed yards. Believe me, there is a lot of health to be found around a dairy. Now that you have met and visited a few of the people who supply us with this health-giving liquid, it might be well if we to heed the words of wisdom from the files of the United States Department of Agriculture. Drinking milk is tantamount to money in the bank, or a paid up annuity, since it is almost impossible to get enough calcium without a regular supply of milk in a diet, and it also builds bones and teeth in growing children, and maintains them in adults. They suggest the following guide. Children, 3 or 4 cups a day. Adults, 2 or more. Pregnant women, at least 4 cups. Nursing mothers, six cups daily. Cones' 50th Birthday Since this is the Golden Anniversary of the first ice cream cone, why not celebrate with two or three dips of ice cream, which are equivalent to one cup of milk in calcium content? This universal delicacy made its first appearance at the St. Louis World's Fair, just 50 years ago this summer. Now comes that portion devoted to those who are interested in reducing diets. No good reducing diet is complete without its daily quota of milk and other dairy products. Never let a day go by without a pat of butter; for it is the golden storehouse of Vitamin A. Cottage cheese is just as effective as a steak for its protein, and twice as easy to prepare for summer dieting. To ward off those bathing suit bulges. For teenagers with complexion problems! You need look no farther than the milk bottle in your own ice box for the answer to your troubled skin. Dairy products are the cheapest and the safest beauty treatments on the market today. By this time, if you aren't convinced that cows are a pretty important factor in our daily life, even apart from the dairy products that we consume, I'd like to again quote the National Dairy Council, which says, "The dairy business is not just a farm problem. It is estimated that livelihoods of one in every ten people in the United States are dependent in some way on the consumption of dairy-products." From now on I'm going to be awfully kind and considerate of all cows for in these days of flying saucers, anything can happen, and from a recent New York press release, it already has! In a new ABC network show, called, "Who's tha Boss?" the secretary with the unusual job, to appear on the program, was a young lady named Melva Krogh, who looks after the expansive interests of Elsie the cow. Her duties include cataloguing Elsie's nonorary college degrees! The above I cannot verify, "t the other day while in Cypress, I overheard one cow say to another, 'Stop switching your tail Zaa, Zaa.
