has been -nothing short of wonderful.
Oregon la bound to gain from this
practical publicity, and the value of it
ran only be reckoned when the colon
ist period is over and some Idea ran
be had of the number of new settlers
brought into the State.
The following reports of the Travel
ing Immigration Agenta in charge of
Oregon's Exhibition Car were furnish
ed by E. C. Ledy, General Immigra
tion Agent of the Great Northern Ry.
Greenwood. Ind. Fifteen hundred
visitors, a great many of whom were
farmers. A large per cent of Interest
was for homesteads in Oregon. The
hall where the stereopticon lecture
was held in the eveniug was crowded,
and some were turned away. The ap
ple display in the car is drawing many
favorable comments.
Jeffersonyille, Ind. Tremendous
crowd. At least G.000 people visited
the car. The crowd kept np all day
long and the lecture hall was crowded
In the evening. We estimated the at
tendance at about 1,400. The Interest
seems to be mostly in farm lands with
a little for fruit culture. This U a
estimate the attendance during both
days at no less than 9,000 people.
Franklin, Ind. Enthusiasm and In
terest shown here Bet a new mark for
the Oregon Car. We had fully 4,000
visitors and the hall in the evening
was filled to overflowing. I have
never experienced quite such an en
thusiastic audience as we encountered
at our lecture. After the lecture we
were kept busy for some time giving per
sonal interviews. We also opened the
car and allowed the people to look the
exhibits over until almost 11:00 p. m.
We secured the names of a large
number of prospective homesteaders
and tourists for Oregon.
Ansonia, Ohio. Attendance about
600. At the stereopticon lecture In
the evening every seat in the hall was
taken. It was a rousing and especial
ly interested crowd and the attend
ance was large considering the size
of the town. Several came to me
after the lecture In the evening and
stated that they were going west this
spring or summer.
his addresses to the farmers and to
the commercial bodies he urged
them to raise hogs for profiit.
He presented facts and figures
to prove his contention that hogs
can be made one of the greatest
sources of income on the farm.
He declared that by growing wheat
and feeding it judiciously to young
pigs, ,the grain can be figured,
worth tl a bushel from the retirn
that it will bring through the hog
on the market.
Reports of successful efforts in
hograising have been received by
the traffic officials, who will use
this information in the further ex
ploitation of this industry. The
case of John C. Southman, a farmer
living near Madras, has been
pointed out.
iSouthman fattened a litter of
pigs on wheat last year, and at the
age of. 14 months they avetaged
400 pounds each in weight. He
sold them for nine cents a pound,
or an average of ob each. He
figured that his wheat brought him
more than 11 a bushel.
Alfalfa also is urged as a fattener
in the Harriman booklet. Several
reports of successful feeding of al
falfa have been received bv tie
local officials. One case is that ot
Joseph Howard, a farmer between
Madras and Redmond. lie took
two 16-month8-old hoas to Bend
and sold them for $85. Howard
kept account of his expense in
raising them. Figuring his wheat
worth 85 cents a bushel, he fed
them $6 worth of wheat and al
lowed them to glean their other
food in the alfalfa fields.
F. M. McChntock also reportB
similar success with hogs in the
Central Oregon country, but none
of these cases is said to be unusual
or exceptional. They can be
duplicated year by year with in
telligent methods and sufficient in
terest on the part of the farmers,
officials eay. i
"It is our aim to assist the
farmers especially the settlers go
ing into the new country as
much as possible," said Mr. Miller
yesterday.
"We have begun by issuing this
booklet and by careful reading I
believe that any farmer can profit
in" hog raising. Central Oregon
offers peculiar advantages in this
respect in climate and in the fer
tility of the soil, and every farmer
should make money." Oregonian.
