Visitors Urge Advertising Pacific
orthwet-t Among Farmers ot
East and Middle States.
Th4t the farmers of the east and
middle west have little conception of
the unusual advantages and oppor
tunities in the Pacific northwest for
farming of all kinds, and that the
most, effective kind of advertising
which' this section could do at this
time! would be directed towards this
class' of people. Is the declaration of
A. H'Billlngslea of New Tork, eastern
representative for a number of farm
papers, including Western Farmer,
published in this city. In this belief
he is itrongly seconded by his brother,
J. C Billlngslea, agent for farm pa
pers at Chicago.
Th two Mr. Billlngsleas were in
Portland last week, having just con
cluded a tour of the most productive
areas; of Washington. Under the
guidance of the county agents, they
were given a glimpse of the wheat
field of the Palouse, the o rchards
of Walla Walla. Yakima and "We
natchee; the berry lands of the Puyal
lop. Puget sound ifklry farms, and
then, the Willamette valley.
"Keep your county agents on the
job,- was the advice of A. H. Billings
lea. " "I was greatly Impressed with
the high type of men occupying these
positions in the northwest states. Do
not run the danger of losing them
through inadequate pay, because they
are leading in a scientific farm de
velopment, the value of which it is
hard to calculate. If the farmers of
the east and middle west could just
be made to realize the opportunities
in Oregon and Washington there
would be a great rush of farm-seekers
to this country."

Is
for
You
Ninety per cent of all of o'ur physical troubles are caused
by negligence. -
Nature gives you many warnings, but they generally go
unheeded until it is too late and serious sickness is the
result.
If you notice the slightest cavity or ache in any of your
teeth, come at once and save trouble and expense.
Have all abscessed and badly pyorrheaed teeth removed
promptly and well fitted artif icial teeth substituted.
In all branches of dental work I will give the best results
at the least possible cost.
