"T"f j i P s ' f i ,tl( GOAT REPORT ' FOR POLK GOUflTY Economic Conference Advo cates Extension of the In- dustry in This Section (The Statesman or yesterday coauinea tne report or tne iiax ommlttee of the Polk county ag ricultural economic conference, held at Dallas last month. The following is the report of the milk goats committee- of that confer ence:) . -i Polk county has 63,180 acres of (land, which is adapted to the raising of milk goats. ' This is cut OTefr land, and land not adapted to agriculture. L . . 'The United States imports 80,- 000,000. pounds of Roquefort cheese annually s It retails at 90 cents' per pound. PoIk county has the , only Roquefort cheese factory in the state. ; i "There are 359 milk goats in Polk county, and 2500 in Oregon. Experience of growers of milk goats is that two acres will sup port a doe, and in addition one ton of hay will be required for every seven does. Average return from Polk county milk goats : annually is about $25. ' . ' ; fin view of the above, we re commend that milk goats be con sidered as a means of utilizing such lands as are not suitable for other agricultural, needs as a source of profit to those who are sufficiently Interested to give it the required attention. ,. ''Anyone desiring to go into the business need not: hesitate for lack of experience, because the production business can be easily learned by such as will give it the STOCK QUOTAUS GETJERALLV LOWER Wild, Outburst Quelled by Sharp Reaction; Prices Are Now Irregular ; I ... r -w SOTS j - c r v f V T iff"" m i-:11 t li'ii:l!itl , ?' .ill B i'-'linl;'.,!!'!.! .

Another wild outburst of bullish enthusi asm sent more than 100 stocks to new high, levels for the -year in the early part of today's trading. but & deluge of selling orders by professional traders , in r the late afternoon brought about a share reaction from the top prices, leav ing quotations irregularly lower. Total sales, which exceeded 2,500,- 000 shares, were within 10,000 shares of the record established November 20, the highest In about eight years.' Railroad shares continued to lead the advance, contributing about one-third .of the day's highs Buying of these issues was given added stimulus by the publication of a statement showing that class 1 railroads reported net operating income of $125,105,000 in Octo- detailed attention necessary. . "We recommend that 'goat milk be -disposed Of ' in the form of Roquefort cheese, rather Chan sell ing it direct. "We endorse boys and girls' club work as a means of promot the milk goat industry.

An inquiry at sev eral Sajem grocery stores yester day failed to find any of this Ore gon Roquefort cheese on sale here. The 'makers of this cheese are passing up a good chance for, some free advertising. If they have a product that will pass muster alongside the French Roquefort cheese, The Statesman will be pleased to spread the news, in or der that a home Industry may be encouraged. The Imported Roque fort cheese is selling in Salem gro cery stores to the retail trade at $1 a pound. As statesman read ers of the Slogan pages know, the simon ' cure French Roquefort cheese is made from the milk of sheep; but ' California makers of Roauefort cheese who use the fthllk of goats claim to turn out a superior article.
