Tr-r-r - l a i r. mwntssion SETTLEMEHTPLAH State Again Leads. i(n Completing "i the First Farm-Hflme-Busfhess f Unit, Located in. Polk" County. Again it has been left to Oregon to solve a problem that haa been studied all over the United States. .Thls time the state claims the honor of jhaving successfully worked out a ' practical land settlement plan. The state through the land settlement commission is basing its claims for this honor through the success that has at tended the planning, completion and sell ing of its first , farm-home-business unit two and one half miles south of, In dependence, Polk county. ' On this rolling Willamette valley land, farming has -been placed on a business . basis; the state has sponsored the or - sanitation Of a model farm now being : operated with highly satisfactory re , turns. . Mors praise is due when it is "" explained that this model has been de veloped "from the ground up" in little more than eight months. BULIFSOXS 19 CHJLBGE Mr. and Mrs. Leroy C. Rullfson took possession of the experimental unit late In November and are now busy trying to make a success at their end of the work. They realise that success will not only be personal, but for the good of others. .-. Reviewing" the work of the land set tlement commission and the results ob tained, from the first model unit W. H, Crawford, secretary and manager of the commission, gives the following history of the project: 's "For years there has been a steady flow of various plans to encourage the "back- to the farm" movement. , L15D COMMISSION FOKMBTD "At a conference over a yeas ago, the Oregon land settlement commission Was formed, and the following board of 41 rectors was appointed: Whitney X Boise, chairman ; Emery Olmstead, Charles Hall, O. K. Baker and Robert N. Stanfleld. : "Oet to the root of the land settlement problem was the policy immediately adopted. After much serious study it was decided that at the bottom of the whole thtng was the 'necessity for ade quate financing with easy payment privileges. .- "That it was a business and a serious business was recognised almost lmmedi- ately. It was stated that the reason a successful movement hack to the soil was never consummated was because the public did not realise the skill and cap ital necessary. The -result was that - numerous failures caused skepticism nd lack of Interest in others contemplating such a move. , ; MAKE FARM A BUSINESS - "The commission then decided that the big proposition was the placing of the farm on a business basis. To start the settlement on a business basis it became -immediately necessary to properly or ' ganlse at least one tarm-home-busl-. ness unit that would be typical of the district in which It was located. "Fifty thousand dollars was appropri--'ated for the commission work during the AbortionSterility CATTLE CONSULTATION PftCg - DR. M. HOWES, VETERINARIAN Phont!

This meant the placing of the farm on the suburban home baaflf so that it could be paid for so much7 down, bal ance like rent.; y.; . ' "In .arranging this system it became obvious that.lt must be' made a going proposition' enabling the buyer to: step Into the ownership, pay the 10 per cent retaining - fee and then beginning . the paying off of the farm In annual in stallments. " vv ,,"In this manner the farmer was not up against, the old time necessity of build ing 'and. bringing together avsuccessful farm through' years . of skimping and toil.; The owner 6f such a unit would have all the facilities .ha needed to carry on .successful farmtnsV " STATE BOE8 THIHKIlfG "Everything has been built so that every .dollar invested gives a dollar's value. The state has done the think VI Ing for the busy farmer, who in his struggle for existence, haafrttle time to do any thinking or planning. ,.. . "The man who purchased the first unit was a lieutenant Jn overseas ser vice. Thus the wish ojr the', legislature to give preference to fh exWvice man was carried out Rulifson Is experienced in farming 'and his wife is a graduate of an Oregon college. "Oregon is handling the f arm vonlt plan so it can be Imitated by cank ers, real estate dealers or by "othera' It Is not in competition1 with other in terests in the state and haa been hand ling the land settlement proposition as a private corporation exacting the small legitimate profit any individual or cor-1 po ration would take. EXPERIMENTS MADE "The commission has asked other com munities to unite on choosing a location which would be typical for development purposes in each district. . , "Agricultural experts who have17 gone over the proposition think that Oregon has started something that will yield real results. Other states nave been looking for a solution of the land settle ment problem and the Oregon unit. is pointed out as the proper example -by these agriculturists." v The pages of "Oregon' Country Life" contain many advertisements of Interest to farmers. When answering these ad vertisements mention The Journal TILLAMOOK COUNTY '-if - v4 CHEESE REMINDER; IS; FINE -DAIRY DISTRICT Under Cooperative System. 24 ' Cheese Factories Enrolled in ' Creamery Association. , Somehow when crhe thinks of Tillamook one Invariably thinks of cheese. Te na ture of the .land in Tillamook county is peculiarly adapted to the dairying Indus try, and this wealthy county is famous throughout the country lor the; quality of Its cheese. ; This has for the most part been brought about through the nem ark able organisation and cooperation of the dairying interests. The 24 cheese. factories have been en rolled in the Tillamook County Creamery association, under the leadership of Carl Haberlaeh. who has charge of the buying and selling, under this cooperative sys tem it has been possible to manufacture a higher grade of cheese, as well as cen tralise the marketing. Tillamook had Its banner yea tn 1918, when 4,747.229 pounds of cheese was manufactured, " with receipts amounting to 11.141.793.67. besides the 464,311 pounds of milk that was separated, the cream selling for $10,522.85. BECEIPT8 ABE HEATT ' This year will be much heavier. It Is estimated that more than 4,000.000 pounds of cheese will be manufactured, the esti mated receipts being more than $2,225,000. Besides this, many of the factories have Installed apparatus for recovering butter fat which has .been lost in previous year by not being- recovered from the whey tanks. Lajrt year this recovery was val ued at $29,000. - CHEESE MUST BE GOOD It used to be that good, bad' and me diocre cheese all ' sold aa . a fire grade product Not so now, however. When a batch does not come up, to the high standard required by the inspection, it is placed in the second grade;'' This Insures to the public and jobbers a first class quality ..that has been recognised as the Tillamook product In the' fight to-keep up with the ever increasing -discrimination of publio taste the creameries are planning to begin grading according to the richness of the cheese. It will then be possible to pur chase various degrees, from cottage cheese to the high class full cream for which Tillamook is especially famous. ' ALL HERDS INSPECTED All of the herds of the county have! been Inspected and segregated . until there remains none Infected with tuber culosis.. All herds, have been passed tn the three government Inspections which are required before they are placed on the accredited list This, with the sanitary conditions which have been Imposed, guarantee an absolutely pure product ; i At ' present there are approximately 1000 head of pure bred dairy cattle among the 14,000. head In, the herds of the county, to the recent stock show In Portland these prides won many prises among competing" -Holsteins. , Jerseys, Guernseys, Red Poles, and Ayrahires of other parts of the nation. " Drives are being made to encourage the creating of larger and more numerous herds of thoroughbreds.' v - Many; of the targe dairymen have dis covered . that the pure bred Is so much more valuable, from the standpoint of quantity and the quality of the milk that there Is a move starting to get rid of all the scrub sires tn the county. Pure bred sires increase the production 50 per cent in the second generation. BUILD TTP DALKT STOCK , r It has been found impossible to pro duce the fine grade stock for the market The .- breeders . want It understood that 'they are In" the market for thoroughbreds until they have built up their herds to the desired standards. - ' ? "Everything that can be done for the comfort of the cattle is fast becoming. a part of the-progress of the county. The ramshackle barns of ' yesterday nave given - way to the warm, comfortable barns that Are typical of the dairies to day. Even the dog, which has so long been the Inseparable part of the place, Is beginning to disappear. The advent of the milking machine has also increased the production, as well as having, made the w6rk around the dairies easier and more agreeable. The prosperity of the county is most strikingly portrayed by the contentment of the people. There is no marked dis satisfaction, labor troubles are known only because they make it difficult to secure the products of other parts of the nation. Blackberry Tree - ; Had':;Queer:, Start, ".
