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.
