After Traveling height Agent Louns- Dury naa expiamea uie opjem aim im pose of the meeting, Dr. Withycombe told of his visit to" the East last Fall, and how ..successful and profitable dairy ing Is being followed as a business In sec tions of the Eastern States which pos sess nothing like the advantages of soil and climate common to the Willamette Valleyr He predicted that In the course 61 a few years, Western Oregon would-be one of the principal dairying sections in the United States. He said in Jefferson County,. ,WIsconsln, where 15 years ago the land had so . deteriorated from con stant wheatgrowlng that six bushels of grain to the. acre, was an average crop, and many homes were mortgaged, dairy ing was resorted to as a means of making a- living, and when he visited that county recently he found that. Instead of owing money, the farmers had over ?2,000,000 In the Jefferson County banks, and the fer tility of the land had ben restored so that 20 bushels of grain to the acre waa an average crop, He particularly empha sized the fact that dairying should be made the main branch of farming, and not merely an incidental part of It In his address, Mr- Smith made a num ber of comparisons to show that by using forethought, and planning ahead for the future, better results could, be obtained than could possibly be expected from the haphazard methods of the majority of farmers, He aptly referred to the suc- - r .,., TVIoVi frfpnil nf his; who. -when ' asked the cause of his prosperity, char acteristically repuea mac ne naa ubuc dollars thinking where he had made cents by hard work. In the section of country tributary to Brownsville, the farmers are gradually 'changing from a single crop system to a diversified agriculture, with dairying in the lead, and. therefore much valuable and useful Information was given by Messrs.

The sums of money distributed among the farmers every month, through the creamery-check system Is having the pleasing effect of causing the merchants of the Willam ette Valley towns to recognize the value of the dairy industry as 'an Important factor In Increasing the prosperity of the community In general.

The Petite prunes are well ad .vanced, and the Italians never looked so well at this season. Trees are much more heavily loaded than last year, and there Is little fear ot danger to the fruit from frost. Peaches iin some localities have been thinned a little by frost,, but not enough to cause a light crop, and It Is safe to predict that Douglas County peaches will be much In evidence In the Portland markets athls season.
