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.

In getting clover started to growing sue

of cheat hay. and In this connection Mr.
Smith explained that on soil where clover
la grown once, the land becomes inocu
lated, and no trouble will be experienced
In getting It to take hold again. He sug
gested that the best thing to do when
trying to grow clover on land where It
would hot 3tazt successfully was to visit
the nearest clover field, in the neighbor
hood get a wagon load or two of dirt that
has been already Inoculated, take it home
and sprinkle over the new field. He ex
pressed the opinion that, after Inoculation
In this way, there is no farm land In the
Willamette Valley where clover will not
grow successfully.
THE -CREAMERY CHECK.
It Is the Mainstay of BroivnsvJlle
Business Men.
3ROWNSVrLi.E. May 29. 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 creamery
which Mr. Bruckman built here a year
ago is doing a splendid business. The
first year of U3 operation, an average of
5S00 per month was paja lo-pairons rar 1
butter fat taken from the milk. Now the
payroll is upwards of $1000 per month, I
which means a good 'deal to the men- 1
chants of Brownsville. One prominent j
merchant said today that If It were not j
for the creamery he did not know how j
the business men- would -get alongr .

growers have been making a, careful
study of the present condition of $h.e fruit
crop of Douglas County, and are unani
mous in expressing the opinion that this
.year's yield of fruit of all kinds, the
prune especially, will be the largest in
years. 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. Apples

have not suffered. from anjr cause, to any

Damage to Fruit Overestimated.
"VALE, May 29. A cold wave swept over
Malheur Valley three or four days ago,
and an erroneous report went out that it
had lnjurep: all the fruit. Fruitgrowers
are unanimous in the opinion that there
will be a fair yield of apples and pears,
as well as some prunes and peaches, but
the cherries will" be few and far between.
