Carter Comes to Valley in
Spite of Warning by Se
attle Knocker
"Salem is a dead town, and the
Willamette valley Is a poor country
lor you to visit.' 'was the advice of-
f ered to Berry Carter by P. M. How
ard, which failed to prevent the for
mer's visit to --Salem. Mr. Carter is
registered at the Bligh hotel from
Ecala, Fla.. and be Is in the city be-
: cause he had read literature about
the opportunities of the Willamette
valley.
Mr. Carter said last night that he
met Howard in Seattle and was ad
vised to change his plans and not
visit Salem, but to go to the Yakima
country where the "dollars grow on
trees." Howard informed Mr. Carter
that he was a former resident of this
city, and that he was conversant with
conditions in this community.
' Mr. Carter visited the Yakima
country and Investigated conditions
there and arrived at a two-fold con
clusion, that the land was too high
priced in the Yak Una valley and sinee
crops will not grow to advantage
without irrigation, he decided to con
tinue his journey to Salem. He ar
rived in the city last night and plans
to stay several weeks investigating
farming conditions in this valley. He
says Salem attracted his attention
three years ago when he received lit
erature about the Willamette valley.
Mr. Carter owns 140 acres of land
in Florida. He was amused last night
over the coincident that his Florida
home is in Marion county, and as he
claims. In the best section of that
state. Ecala is between Jacksonville
and Tampa. Mr. Carter says he re
alizes a substantial income from his
tomato crops, which is his specialty.
and from hog reaising. He said hogs
are raised extensively because they
require little care.
"We grow peanuts." he said, "and
turn the hogs into the field to feed."
"I enjoy the climate In Salem,"
commented Mr. Carter. "The eve.
ntng is so cool. The climate Is not
unlike our climate in Ecala. Our
evenings are cool, and the mid-day is
as warm as I find it in Salem. I am
touring the northwest seeking a
change of climate and if I find a
place that suits, I am going to sell
out and move to the northwest."
