"M Country Tla of Th, - t LarW Renewed Interest in Dairying. Preliminary announcements have heen received of a meeting to be helti in Portland ut an early da to for a dairymen's conference. This is a good move; dairying is one industry that iff extolled from beginning tc end, but only lightly practiced. There nre hundreds of men who can expati ate voluminously on the great profit in dairying and give a moving picture representation of the vast amount of money that 'may be 'eoinod from the cow, but thero is n mighty light per-, centuKC of them who would endure the nttention and confinement which the dairy business requires for a sin glo tiny. night in this locality mnny farm ers ndvanlngoously situated to great ly nugment the supply of milk and crenm nre turning their nttention to the beef end of the cattle business, because it is easier to itllow ft calf tc run along with its mother and grow up on grass and bring in from $7G tc $100 m a two-year-old thj;n it is to get the money from the milking shed. No ono can blamo thorn, be cause everyone similarly H.tuutucf would do tho same thing. tlHit this is the condition that ought. ( help those who do undertake to keep up tho supply of dairy products and who are mora interested In tho milk strain of cattle than In tho beef .supply. fluth ends of tho bunincss nre a necessity nnd for that reason the dairy production should have equal Importanco with tho other end of the business. Thero is just as much necessity for mutual co-operation and for organization ns there is in other lines of tho slock industry. There are all kinds of live stock organizations in Oregon. A state-wide organiza tion of the dairymen should he the result of tho forthcoming mccliiiM in Portland. The opportunity for mutual benefit nnd the practically inexhaustible field for operation in this state demands a n prime necessity au organi.-ition of the kind proposed. W. J. Henry, who has resumed hit former place as the editorial manage' of the Klgin Recorder, is nn advocate of good roads, Mr. Henry has just returned from service in France and h, therefore, acquainted with the con dition of tho highways over the fens Til the last Shkuo of the Recorder Mr Henry Rays: ''In only' one thing docs I-'rana have anything on the United Ktatci, and that is in the matter of good roads. In many respects they are centuries behind us, but in the matte) of roads they urc centuries ahead and the editor believes that the war, as no other way will prove to millions of United States citizens who have seen French roads tho value to 8 country of permanent roads. "We note with interest that Oregon is becoming fully alive to the fact that good roads ure not an expense, but nn investment, and is making plan, for tho systematic expenditure of mil lions of dollars on good roads withir : the next three years. In this th state is to be nssisted by the United States government. Ve believe that now public ?enti- ment is almost unanimously in favor of better highways."
