Oregon will prove the land of opportunity. In a recent report to the Ore-
gon State Immigration Commission, Dr. W. J. Kerr, President of the Ore-
gon Agricultural College, says:
“Oregon is a land of agricultural opportunity. It is estimated that
I there are upwards of 23,000,000 acres of agricultural land in this state.
Of this, 13,000,000 acres are in farms of which only about 4,900,000 acres
j or less than 22 per cent, are improved. There are 45,500 farms with an
average size of 256 acres, and an average value per farm of >11,600, The
fact that over 75 per cent of the agricultural land, or more than 18,000,0<X)
acres, is yet undeveloped indicates the opportunity for agricultural develop­
ment in this state. The relatively small number of farms, the large size
1 of th individual farm, and the enormous area of tillable land yet unplowed,
all indicate the great possibiities that yet remain for the deveopment of
j agriculture in Oregon.

There are aso subdivisions in which agricuture is more specialized, as in
the Hood River and Rogue River sections, characterized mainly for their
high-class fruits; and the Coast region which is noted for its excellent dairy­

Of the land reclaimable by drainage or susceptible of great increase
in productive power by this process, one and a quarter million acres
are in the Wilamette Valley.
With the exception of sugar, pork and corn, Oregon now produces
abundantly all the staples that enter largely into the human diet.
Pork production can be increased at will.

Oregon Jersey cows hold the world’s butter fat production record
in 6 out of 8 classes in theA and AA division and 5 out of 8 in the
AAA divisions. This state has produced 12 out of 30 of ail the gold
medal bulls of the breed, 22 out of the 61 of the silver medal bulls,
2 out of the 3 medal of merit bulls and 20 out of the 55 medal of
merit cows.
The first 300-egg hen was produced at the Oregon Experiment sta­
tion. The effect of the combination of suitable climatic conditions
and high-producing strains is indicated by the fact that the average
production of the Oregon Experiment Station flock was increased
from 96 eggs per hen per year in 1908-9, to 219 eggs per hen in 1917-
18. Many of our commercial flocks at present maintain a 200-egg
average which is approximately 25 per cent in excess of the com­
mercial flock average in the farming regions elsewhere.

The average wheat production of the United States is 13.8 bushels
per acre, while the yield in Oregon is 19.3. The average production
of milk per cow in Oregon is 4,205 pounds as against an average of
3.148 in the United States as a whole. Our yeild exceeds that of
Wisconsin by 20 per cent and is only 5 per cent under that of New
York state.
