Why should every citizen of Oregon be
Interested In .'the Pacific International
mvcbiock exponuon a project ior m)
exposition center at Portland?
This is a question too . frequently
asked by those lacking breadth of vis
ion, or who have not given intelligent
thought to this matter. The permanent
exposition project is of vital import
ance to not only farmers and stockmen
but to business men in all lines of trade
throughout the entire Northwest.
In the first place, agriculture is the
cornerstone of prosperity. The product
of oar farms and ranches Is new wealth,
reproducing Itself yearly, flowing into
the arteries of trade and briskly stimu
lating business bt all kinds. It is-now
a well recognised fact that the basis of
permanent agriculture i livestock farm
ing, or at least diversified farming,
' where a. large portion of the crops raised
on the farm are fed to livestock on the
farm, and the fertility of the farm thus
maintained. The old type of one-crop
farming was all right as long s" the
plant food held out, but when the fer
tility of the soli was exhausted the
short period of prosperity was over.
We can no more rop our soils and not
finally deplete them than we can draw
on a bank account and not finally ex
, haust it. The process of rebuilding a
soil is a slow one, and it is far better
to replace the fertility as a regular part
of the farming business." - '
Stock Raising Safe
-The safest and most profitable method
of maintaining soil fertility is raising
and, feeding livestock on the farm. But'
there are many" kinds of livestock. Some
can, be fed very profitably, others can
not. J. Ogden Armour said, "It costs
no more to raise a 1200-pound steer than
a COO-pound scrub.'' and there Is a lot
of truth In the statement. We must
breed and feed better cattle ana sneep
In order to get the most profitable re
turns from our ranches. The soundness
of the statement is borne out on any of
the larger successful sheep or cattle
ranches.
Take, for InstanoA the Hereford ,cor
poratioti of Vyoming. J Does anyone sup
posotthat it is a, imatterv f eirtlmt

the better quality of the beef will bring
TZ or $3 per hundred more from the
packers. Better etoJk is not a fad. it Is
simply good business.
But educating people who are accus
tomed to poor stock to pay $300 or $400
apiece for their hem bulls is a slow
proposition. How can it best be done?
Hundreds Bay at Show ,
Experience throughout the country has
proven that the most effective way to
do this is to show xtbe farmers and
stockmen what good animals are, by
means of the stock show. Nothing is
so educational and so Insuring for the
future stock breeder, or for anyone, as
to inspect a bunch of prize winning live
stock, properly fitted for the arena
Breeders and stockmen from all over
the coast will meet and mingle at Port
land's big stock show. Hundreds of
breeders and stockmen will buy their
future breeding stock each year at these
shows, and the educational influence of
these expositions will reach out into all
the stock growing sections of the antire
NorthweBt '
The successful establishment of a per
manent livestock exposition at Portland
will be of incalculable value to the whole
Northwest, and the more widely scat
tered the stock in the project is, the
greater will be the benefits, for the man
who holds a few shares of stock will
naturally be more keenly interested, and
therefore more open to the educational
Interests' .of the project. .
"I would rather nave little lots of oiys
and two shares scattered among all the
small farmers and stockmen," said Gen
eral Manager O. M. Plummer, in charge
of the stock selling campaign, "than to
dispose of the whole $250,000 in big
blocks among the bankers and the big
breeders. - It is the general standard of
livestock that' we want to raise, and it
is through the Interest and cooperation
of the little fellow that we can best do
this."
; Portland now has under way a stock
selling drive, the object of which is to
jAise $125,000, which, added to an equal
sum subscribed from Oregon outside the
'city, will finance the big proposed $250.

Lime- Should Be
Ordered Early to
Avoid Delays
There appears to be a disposition on
the part of farmers, for ene reason or
another, to delay ordering fertilisers and
lime. The bureau of soils of the United
States department of agriculture calls
attention to the fact that unless lime it
ordered early, farmers may have much
difficulty in securing their requirements
both because of the fact that lime plants
are unable to store up supplies and be
cause of the strain on transportation.
Somewhat the same situation exists as
to- fertilizers. The regional director of
railways for the southeastern districts
recently called attention to the fact that
fertilizer movements are greatly delayed.
Ordinarily 40 per cent ot the whole ferti
lizer tonnage, he says, has been shipped
by February 10, but this year less than
15 per cent had moved by that date.
The normal yearly movement is about
160,000 carloads and. it was $0,000 cars
short of what it should have been. "It
is easy." he continues, "for you to see
what I fear. A flood of business at the
last moment can not be moved to the
satisfaction of our patrons and com
plaints will f oltew." ,
It Is apparent, therefore, that delay In
ordering either fertilizer or lime may
have serious result.

And when it comes to milk she still
