IHistory repeats itself. p Tim canvas covered caravan of l the pioneer days has been sup planted by the swifter moving au tomobile but westward, still, they come, searcntng for the land of dreams. Salom still offers to the seeker all that he. lias dreamed of In'' the way of j community spirit, industrial prosperity, educational advantages, equitable climate, Ibeautiful surroundings, and a vast CweaHh ot uudeveloDed resources. The rapid growth of the popula tion of a city Is indicative of what the city has to offer to the home Keeker and the business man. Since 1900 Salem has increased its pop ulation from 4253 to 22,099 Jan. 1, 1924, according to the most re cent government survey. V At the present time there i.i more money on deposit in the Sa lem banks than ever before in the history of the community, , which fact is Indicative of either distrust or, prosperity, as . one I may view k the , movements -of money. Com- pared with other localities In the same state, and considered along It with other states, in general, the community is exceptionally pros I perous. The four banks of Sa- lem reported for the last federal call of December 31. 1923, a total deposit of 18,862.213.03, making a per capita deposit of approximately 1402.88. In the heart of the prosperous Willamette valley, Salem, the capi tal city, is surrounded by 27,000 acres of fruits, berries and nuts, besides the great fertile farming and dairy lands.

It is the story of the rapid grqwth of an industry in a country that has proved to be the most ideal in the United States for poultry raising the Pacific 'northwest. Here men and women who have dreamed of independence and a comfortable living from a business all their own have found these things in brimming measure in the healthful and wonderful out doors of the American wonder land. ' "It is not a story of easy money with poultry. There is nothing here at least it is hoped there is nothing of interest that person who is averse to work, or who has a notion that the poultry busi ness is a merry roundelay of money making. The way to suc cess in poultry raising, in the Pacific northwest or anywhere else, is not by that route. "They make money with their IS Poultryland, with, perhaps a bright new opportunity for you keep always in mind that the rich rewards described resulted from work. It is necessary. In wrting of this wonderful country, to empha size this point because the story of Poultryland is an alluring one and likely to appeul to the man seeking easy money. That kind of person may well remain where he is. He would not succeed and he would not feel at home in the busy centers of Poultryland. A Concrete Example "G. E. Van Horn is one of the pioneers in scientific poultry rais ing. He lives in the Puget Sound region. We'll listen to him next.

" 'I now have CaOO laying hens, and expect to sell this year through the poultry association five carloads of eggs. I have about as hard working a flock as you will find anywhere, and dur ing the years when I entered the show ring they were hard to beat und-r the judge's eye. ' 'All my hatching is done at outside hatcheries but I use my own eggg entirely. The reason for this is that the chicken busi ness here has become a specialty, and we need to divide it luto egg farms, hatcheries and brooding plants. One man cannot dp it all and if we divide it up it makes more business for everybody. " 'I do little farming, except to raise kale and mangeh?, or beets, for my flock. There is no such thing as overdoing the poultry business here, and instead of dis couraging anyone to enter this in dustry, I would advise anyone to get into It, provided they start on a small scale and learn the busi ness as they go along. An Oregon Example "Now we'll call on J. A. Hanson who is doing some tricks with chickens over in the Willamette valley of Oregon. Mr. Hanson has a table of figures here showing such . a high average production per hen in a large flock that we thought there must be something the matter with it. But Hanson's word is good, and moreover,, the Oregon Agricultural college, which is a neighbor of his, con firms the tatement. Capital $1000 and Brains "But fJrt let's go back a little. Mr. Hanson came to Oregon from the middle west in 1911. He worked on the farm of the Oregon Agricultural college for a short time, then managed a poultry farm near Portland. In 1913 h had $1000 and he rented a par tially equipped farm of 30 acres for'whinti he paid an annual reut al of 1500. : ''From this beginning, Ilantron has builded until he now owns the original place, to which he has added several large laying sou vs. nncubator and brooding equipment all representing an Investment of more than $40,000. And, all of it has been paid for In cash by the work of hens and Hanson. "Here is the remarkable laying " record of Hanson's flocks dnring th,e Last few. years: "1914-15 600 pnllets laid aa average of 198 eggs. "19,15-10650 pullets laJd an avurage of 288 eggs. 1916-171000 pullets .laid jn average of 219 eggs. "1917-18900 pullets laid an average of 231 eggs. "1918-191100 pullets laid sn average of 221.9 eggs. , "1920-211010, pullets laid in average of 220.5 eggs. "1911-22 1100 pullets laid an average of 212.12 eggs.": Might Have Said More The writer for the railroad com--paiies of their booklet might have said more about Mr. Hanson. He night hare said that Mrs. Hanson was formerly a teacher in the . Salem public schools. He might have said that Mr. Hanson has captured several world records In laying contests; that he took on 9 of these in the Daily Mall contest in London, England. . And More and More ; He might have said that the Salem district has been capturing prizes in world laying contests for several years ?
