SOME SHEEP ON EVERY SALEM DISTRICT FARM
The Salem Slogan pages of The Statesman of this morning con
tain a symposium on sheep.
. The articles are well worth reading,
They are all by men experienced in sheep breeding, and there is
a complete agreement that there is money in sheep, and that every
farm in the Salem district onght to have some sheep.
, These experienced breeders approach the matter from several
different angles, and they do not agree upon the matter of breeds.
The general trend, however, is in favor of the medium wooled
sheep for this district at least under the present condition of . the
wool, market, which is unprecedented in all the history of wooleu
mill manufacturing.
? For instance, the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill Company, owning
and operating the Salem woolen mill, yesterday bought 3000 to 4000
pounds of medium wool f rom points in 'western Oregon, paying 36
cents a pound for it; and Hon. T. B. Kay, manager of this mill, says
he & in the market for all the medium wool offered at that price;
while the nominal market price for coarse wools is 20 cents a pound
but there is in fact no market at all for coarse wool. No one wants it.
V-.. Why! -
For two reasons!. First, the markets have been flooded by South
American importations, coming in under the presents tariff law free
of dirty. Second, no one any more will buy coarse woolen goods. Ev
.ery one is demanding the finer goods.
.The woolen mills must make the goods they can sell. t
The finer Merino wool is Quoted around 40 cents a pound in
the grease, and it shrinks 60 to 65 per cent, so the cleaned Merino
wool is selling at about $1.15 & pound. '
i For the Willamette valley farmer. Mr. Kay advises the remedv
is the raising of. medium wools. The Merinos are not best for this
section. They are a range sheep. So our farmers should resort to
Shropshires, Oxfords, Hampshires, etc., or crosses of Merinos and
uoiswoids or Lincolns.
"f Mr. Kay thinks this condition will persist that the demand will
indefinitely be for the finer cloths. .
- The woolen mills of the United States are generally idle right

The reason; There has been a panic in the retail market, reU
Have You Made
Your Will?
I If jou havenH, you ought not to expect the
courts, and public administrators, to apportion
your estate as wisely as you could yourself.
Do you know what they would do with it?
Probably not. Your property must be distributed
according to the laws of your state, which were
uot planned to fit your particular estate. The re.
suit may be a tragedy for your heirs.
WHO W1LI BE YOUR EXECUTOR?
A corporation, or an Individual? We will be
pleased to have you call, and let us explain why
this bank is better prepared to discharge such du
ties than any Individual.'

&a they must all run on orders.
Some of our contributors will dispute with Mr Kav. in his ad
vice on breed for our section. Hut lie is a student of conditions in
his line of business.
Another thing: Mr. Kay says sheen would 1m' more profitable
for our farmers, if they did not sell anv wool at all. than hoes:

The one thing The Statesman started to Drove in this Salem Slo
gan issue, that every farm in the Salem district 'should have some
sheep, we believe is amply proved.
