Town cance in the above from Mr: Con ner th'aji wll appear at first glance 'to the man who is not up to all the. curves in the poultry world. The experienced breeders however, will catch the sirnifi cance of It without any prompt ing for they know ' this is the reaching of the goal in a quest that has been ages long and world wide; and if this Salem district breecer could cash in on tne beneuts that will accrweito the coming generation in all countries from his discovery and development, he would be richer than Rockefeller or Henry Ford , All the Asiatic and English and American fowls from time Immemorial have" laid brown shelled . eggs. The . Brahmas uocnins, xangsnans. etc., are types ot Asiatic breeds: The Dorkings and Orpingtons are types of the English breeds. The Hocks, and Reds and Wyandottes are- types of the American breeds. All these and their cous ins have always xaid orown eggs Brown eggs are all right In Bos ton; they are preferred there-. But every other large market, including that ! or Greater New York, calls for white shelled eggs The Mediterranean" fowls '"lay white shelled eggs. The types are tho Leghorns, Minorcas Anconas, Spanish .etc. So the true utility fowl, fo! which the wide world has been waiting, must be heavy, to pro duce the largest possible amount of meat, and it must lay a white egg. That Is what Mr. Buley has accomplished. Ho has conferred a great boon on the poultry world The first 300-egg hen, produced in the Salem district, was the "Dryden" hen at Oregon Agricnl tural college, accomplishing this feat several years ago. She was of the Oregon" breed. Since that time '33 "Oregon hens at the Oregon asylum for the insane, at Salem, have become 300-egg hens Nearly every leading poultry breeder In the Salem district has produced '300-egg hens; and a number of breeders In, the Puget Sound district have .produced such bens. One Salem district hen has laid 335 eggs, In one year and the 365 egg hen is in sight for the Salem district; with an extra'one for leap year. By every test, we have the best poultry country in the world; and we are developing the best race of poultry breeders on earth. Ed.) . GOOSEBERRIES fl GDUMIiSE HERE Four Rows Ten Rods Lohs i Had Produced $150 Worth ; Up to Last Sunday ; Dr. E.l E. Fisher of Salem was visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. C.

I Up W that time, Mrs. Wiltsey old him they had sold the goone berries trom a patch of four rows about ten rods long, or about an eighth of an acre, for $150; and they, seemed to be getting only fair atart. Besides, they had been liberal with their neighbors who had.no gooseberries. Includ ing enough for several ,. goose berry les given- to Dr Fisher himself. Never were finer gooseberries grown. . If that is a sample or what the gooseberry growers are getting front their bushes in the larger planting this year, there will be some fine records to give ! out when the harvest is over J ; , Some stories of smalt gold mines in the way of profits from this line of bush fruit culture And the pack of 7000 crates by the Salem canneries last year will be due for a wonderful expansion.'- - , j - - People ir Own Country and Its The LAND VALUES IE MUCH LOWER HERE AW Things Considered, Far beiow bimiiar brades : Elsewhere on Coast Editor! Statesman:; ! Before locating In Oregon I for myself,' and the men' with whom I was associated, made careful in vestigations of the nrinciDdl fruit producing sections of the United States, and especially Colorado, Idaho. I - Washington and ' Califor nia. We thorouhly satisfied our selves j that there ' was no place where i soil, climate and market conditions were more , favorable than the 'Willamette valley in Or egon,- and that there was no ques tion but that, all things consider ed, land 'values nere were much lower than lands of similar grade in the districts and state3 which we investigated. Later and con tinued observation has more thoroughly convinced me of that fact. " l i The opportunities which i have had. during the pat. years, to In vestigate and know the ' returns from several hundred farm, . or chard and berry tracts in the Wil lamette valley give undisputed evidence that from a money in come standpoint, that taken as a whole, our lands are not over valued. - - ,: These investigations and farm income reports do reveal, how ever, a few things which should not be passed over. There are many farmers who are not keep ing sufficient dairy and other live stock to maintain the fertility of their farms, and are, in fact, de creasing the fertility by continu ous grain crop and summer fallow methods. There, are . others who are raising grain on land which would produce a much greater re turn in . fruiti v nuts or berries. There are still others who are try ing to raise fruit, nuts and ber ries on land more suitable foi general farming . purposes. . We have such a wide diversity of soil and soil conditions in the Willamette', valley that we can grow almost any farm cron. fruit. nuts, berries or vegetabliss, but there have been mistakes which ought not to be repeated, and the Salem Chamber of! Commerce. Marion-Polk County Realty assocl- ciation and other public and semi- public organizations could render a distinct public service by creat ing some form of agency or infor mation bureau whereby newcom ers, could secure reliable informa tion as to where lands adapted to the particular type "of farming that they wish to pursue, can be found.

" - ' Of tho 500,000 acres of land on ARE PROPER WORDS the Advantages Surest Way to Get the assessment 1 rolls," 'it is safe to say that at least' half is timber and pasture, most of which might be brought into cultivation: .The same is true of Polk coun ty, in about the same measure as to total acreage and as to pasture and' timber land And the same may be said con cerning the. land that is tributary to Salem as a market center in Linn, Benton, Yamhill and Clack' araas counties; t - The average assessed valuation of 'land .in Marion county Is $35 an acre. ' Vast Opportunities It is plain to be seen, from the above, that there ere vast oppor tunities ot development here. The land p the Salem district has been only scratched over so far. An Oregon Agricultural college authority . said recently thatsall the land in this whole state that is used with proper erop rotations might be included-in a strip less than three miles . wide running from Corvallis to Portland. He might have added that a very cre ditable proportion of such land. under' DroDer cron rotation, la in the Salem district V creditable from a comparative tandnoint But still' there is oceans of room for Improvement here; 'im provement ;that will finally mean a dense population; 'and the most prosperous section under the' shin ing sun. - OREGON VALUES The Purchases of T w dJ Brothers, in Salem District n 1 Several years ago a Nebraska man located In the Liberty dis trict," purchasing a 30-acre prune orchard belonging to a man named Lowndes. It was all In prunes, all bearing; with a drier and cottage and outbuildings just tour miles from the banks in Sa lem, on' a beautiful scenic site, with good roads hard surfaced and rock road.. The ttrlco - via $15,500. His brother came out i'to locate on the coast and visited mm; went on to the Santa Clara valley, California, and bought 43 acres of an- orchard near San Jose: half in prunes, 10 acres' of apricots and 10 In other fruits. at a cost of.$80,00Q. It was un der irrigation, however; Notwith standing, it Impressed me'that he was -foolish to pay so much more. even on the basis that it would produce, more heavily. I talked with "the owner of the 30-acre place here yesterday, and inquired of, him what great ad vantage did his brother have for the difference in investment? H3 said climate. I admit it is not a fair criterion to judge the aver age returns covering a number of years from the last year's crop, but the .facts are that the California brother had no great er yield I of prunes than the Lib erty prune grower last -ar. An Oregon man could afford to pay well for the climate out of six per cent of the difference in cot of the two . orchards, or even doubling I the returns from the Santa Clara orchard still live in the California climate from the interest on the difference in the original investment, x , And Oregon would: have the best of ' it In climate for several .months other than' the winter months besides. Many would claim Oregon would have the best of it clinialically all the year round, but I want to be reason able. Personally I have the im pression" that the Oregon brother has the. best of it in his invest ment. - Yours , very truly, - . VM. PLKMING.a The Fleming Realty Company, Salem. Or. - ..
