Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay. The recent Tbit to thia eft of trr. Issa Tanimnra of Japan in the interest ot securing mora sheep for that country, means tha . aale by thia country ot very, liberal supplies, hut it also meana that hereafter in the years to come Japan will be a strong eompetitor of thia country In the wool trade and in textiles aa well. Heretofore Japan baa been compelled to purchase practically all its wool reauire- ments from thia country and for that reason waa handicapped in competing for tha clothing trade. ; He arrived from San Franeiseo Saturda morning and in company with A. B. Bohoakey, president of the Northwest 8heep company. F. A, Clark of the Columbia Basin Wool Ware house company, Mr. Thorna of the Chamber of Commerce, and I R. MeGee. secrete rv of tha Portland Union Stoek Tarda company, visited tne sheep division of tha Portland Union Stock yards company. Union Heft company plant and iuv piKiu ui un uuuisDis -oaaiu v 001 w are house company. Dr. Tanimura'a visit to the United Statee at thia time is in the interest of more aheep for Japan. Hia problem is at the present time to show tha Japanese government that aheep are profitable for Japanese farmers. Tba climauo conditions in his part of the world are similar to those of tha Willamette valley. There Is considerable moisture in the air and it would be patent that an open wool eleaa of aheep would do well there. The open wool animal does not altogether . fill the requirementa of the Japanese government which wishes to ' make clothing from its own production of wooL They can get plenty of long wool and coarse wools from Manchuria but are dependent upon other foreign imports for their fine and medium wools. Many kinds of sheep hare been tried In Japan. They have tba Rambouillet and at one time there waa a start made of Cotawolda. At the present time these have all died out until tha 2700 aheep in Japan are composed of Shrop- shlres, Southdowns, a few Corridalea and Kom- ney Marsh, besides tha BambouiUeta, Disease haa taken a great many of their aheep and in fact since 45 years ago, when an Ameri can shepherd from California was used to take charge of the imperial household a flocks, aheep have not done well. The Japanese emperor Is tremendously interested in aheep but the prob lem with the farmer is entirely different. He knows what has happened to aheep in that coun try and is not quick to trw again. It is Dr. Tanimura'a problem then to not only interest the Japanese government and show them that sheep can be raised profitably, but he also has a missionary problem ahead of him to interest the Japanese farmers themselves. Dr. Tanimura'a idea is first to try these sheep out, that be will later import on his own farm of 800 acres. This farm haa been successfully maintained aa a sort of demonstration farm. Many of our native grasses, legumes and olovera have been raised here with great success. Ills farm is higher than the rice farms on tha coast, and here he raise alfalfa with profit. Dr. Tanimura'a start along these lines was given him by' Mr, Wilson of the department of agriculture at Washington, and he has published a book dedicated to the emperor outlining hia experiments with tha seed from tha United States.
