The fact that there is a good profit to be made in stock raising and dairy ing is being more clearly demonstrat ed each year. The man who has a good dairy herd or who has a produc tive area of hay laud stocked with young beef cattle is in a fair way to make money even during slow times. The Camas Prairie section offers both opportunities. The completion of the drainage system at an approximate cost of $100,000 has made available several thousand acres of very productive open bottom land. This land has been ready for the plow since last fall, in fact quite a large area has already been turned over by gang plows and cropping has. already been started. This country is new in develop ment and there has been no inflation of values. There is a good opportu nity this spring to secure some excep tionally good farms at attractive prices. Many of the old timers have waited for years for the drainage to be put into effect and an advance of a few dollars per acre looks very attractive to them. There are others who have gone into this section with the expectation of quick returns, that Is in the past three of four years, and as the work of drainage took longer than was anticipated they have realized no returns and as a result are behind on purchase price mort gages and interest so that the man who is keen for investment or who wants to go into the dairy or stock Duslness can find in this section many opportunities for money mak ing that will Interest him. In addition to opening up these bottom lands by drainage, about 10,000 acres of upland will soon be put under irrigation at an estimated cost to the farmer of about $6. to $7 per acre. This seems verv rhn ,t the fact that there is practically no "i-k wont and ,10 flumlng wouI(J ac luunl Ior t,1;t low figure. The coun- iry is gently sloping witnout gullies or canyons to cross with the laterals and during the grAter part of the distance the main canal will be car ried in old creek beds. The main tenance charge will be practically nothing as the contour of the country is such that water will follow a nlnw furrow for miles through most of the district. ' The Camas Valley has hardly been heard of and that Is largely the rea son why it offers more for the money you would put into it than would most sections In either Oregon or Washington. Portland or Vancou ver creameries nav within one and one-half cents ncr nound of citv dHc es for your cream and they take it from your gate and return the empty cans. There Is an extensive outrange for stock and any cattle buyer will tell you that no better beef Is nut on the market than that which comes off this range. We are Interested In this section and have land for sale there but there are good opportunities for in vestment which a man can find for himself and it will h nur nnrnoHe to give all the general as well as de tailed Information to anyone who de sires to investigate, no matter from whom they may secure their land.
