These two counties are the leading
wheat producers of the northwest, but
other sections' with more limited grain
area produced 'perhaps as many bush
els to the acre as did the two leaders.
There are Walla Walla and Columbia
counties in Washington, and Morrow
and" Wasco in Oregon that are not
far behind and even more counties
could be named which produce an
amount of wheat per acre that would
make the report almost unbelievable
to the average producer of the east
or middle west. , However, these two
facts ' can be confirmed by govern
ment report.
hoarse grains form a large per cent
of the grain growth of the three
states. Eastern Oregon oats as well
as the Willamette valley stock is
known all over the country for its
goodness. ; Cereal manufacturers of
the east annually purchase a large
amount .of this gram from the trade
here and would purchase all that
grows were it not for the' excessive
transportation rates to the east and
the fact that Pacific coast manufac
turers bid higher prices to keep the
grain right here at home. There has
never been the slightest denial of the
fact that i the reason eastern rolled
oats manufacturers cannot success
fully compete with the Oregon-Washington
.manufacturers is because they
do not have the oats to produce the
quahry.v Our oats are so much better
to look at 4tnd are so superior ' in

Then r everyone :who is ; at all ac

one seems to know. ' The prjce ob

' Along", with other grains there was a:
shortage in the production of barley
during- - the 1908 season and at all
times since the first shipments of the s
year were made there has been no di
minishing of demand.
Hay forms one of the northwest's
big crops, but owing to the dry
weather this year's yield was not tip
to the average in quantity. What the
crop lacked, in volume, however, it higher. The' fact 'that California's'

Oregon Is the coming stock center of America. Nowhere in all the world, excepting Great Britain, where the
best breeds bav originated In the past, are pelmatic conditiona so favorable to the growth and development of
fine stock. Already many Oregon breeds have been sent to eastern stock fsrma. The eastern climate has a
degenerating Influence the best breeds, deteriorate. In Oregon, on the contrary, the best imported breeds de
velop Into something flner. In the future, with time and experiment, stockmen will send to Oregon for the bt(
bred stock in America. This assured future- can be brought rapidly Into the present by Immediate and Insist
ent demands on the part of housewives for he Oregon product. Men can't raise blooded stock without capital
they couldnt raise capital until a great packing plant came to buy their products; and the packing plant must
have the patronage of. the people in order to encourage the, heavy raising of stock. ,v
Hog raising in Oregon must be doubled, trebled, quadrupled. With a strong home market assured." a stem
larmera with caoll will be glad to come west and i raise hogs. There are alf the inducements when hogs can
be fattened to m to J60 pounds weight in less time-and at less expense than In the east, with minimum loas
from disease, and thsn sold at tbetter price per pound further argument is not needed.
Oregon range cattle are preferred today over all others. -With the irrigating of thousands of seres of arid
land, and a more Intensive development rf the cattle Industry, the grade will be raised still higher. Get peo
ple looking to the west for thetrchoicest meat foods; there is Just, one way for the private cjtixen to bring this

When' cattta amd-hoga are shipped east, fed, for eastern markets, turned Into food product and reshaped

The Union Meat Company is expending- thousands of dollars In Oregon. This la an Oregon eon-ern, its
officers are Oregon men whose families . live here and patronise western industries. This company, as every
one knows. Is building an immense plant on the peninsula, preparing to furnish employment to hundreds of mm
who will in turn spend their earnings In Oregon. Portland" will rapidly become known from Alaska to Mexico,
from the Orient to the Mississippi valley as the great packing- center of the west. Portland cltien in par
