"In the Willamette valley were are approximately 6.000,000 acres or till able land," he said. "Only a dent has been made In thin vast acreage with the present population and the present methods of cultivation. Every acre of land in the Willamette valley Included In this vast reach of 6,000,000 acres Is capable of returning an annual income of $100. Every- 20 acres Is capable of supporting a family, not in comfort alone but in luxury. "These figures appear large for they lead to the result that the annual In come of the valley Is capable of being raised to the grand total of $500,000,000.
