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.

cent government survey.
V At the present time there i.i
more money on deposit in the Sa

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

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

are some excerpts:
"This is the story of Poultry3
land and of the happy and con
tented people who live in it. 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 started 15 years ago with
one setting of eggs, Wycoff White

they called it. I hatched seven

the foundation stork of my busi
ness. " '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 ?

cial record for a pen of 13 hens
