LOWNSDALE With large crops and high prices, this cannot be otherwise than a prosperous season for Oregon. The products of the arms, forests and rivers will net the producers of the state a good $100,000, 000. The. crops i cannot he called Dumper ones, but in nearly every case they are I this year than eyer b?fore Prunes' are not only very abun dant in Oregon, but very high in price, the market being strength ened by the smaller world's crop nnrl f.hn fnnt that there is no carrv-over supply of Oregon prunes anywhere. Other orchard fruits, except pears, have yielded well and hroucrht $rood nrices. and the tj t same is true of small fruits of all kinds. The Oregon notato crop this year is of normal proportions, and the indications are that prices will be considerably avove the average. The onion crop promises to be a little larger than last year's and it is almost certain that val ues will be good. Oregon is coming to the front as one of the great dairy states of the Union and as time passes its importance in this respect will increase. Conditions here are ideal for successful promo tion of the dairy industry, as is shown by the fact that the total value of butter, cheese and con densed milk produced this year exceeds that of any other line. Oregon farmers are receiving better prices for their milk an J cream than the farmers of any other state in the Union. The product turned out by the cream eries and cheese factories long ago attracted the attention of tradesmen in other states. Tilla mook cheese, especially, is known far and wide as the best cheese produced in the west. The poultry industry is grow ing, but does not keep pace with the growth of population. The price paid producers for poultry and eggs are high, and are likely to continue so for years to come.
