(The "Come to Oregon" pamph let of the Salem Chamber of Com merce has : the'' following to say under the head of corn:) i Corn . : , Several years ago, a Kansas farmer in looking over the. Salem A at co A iYxm unnntrv wahII fill all his ideas of piratftaj'.it it' could only grow corn like they doi in Kansas. '-'' ' V" i f " 1 If that farmer who. looked over the valley ten years ago, could; come to Salem now and take a look at some of the nearby corn fields on September 1, 1924. he would acknowledge that if looking for Paradise from a standpoint ot fine corn, he was right on the front row. For it Is a fact, that viewed by all corn experts and farmers who formerly lived in a great corn belt in; the cetnral states, that the Wil lamette valley grows as fine a corn as any of the Mississippi val ley states. - And then on top of that, the corn market in Salem and Port land is from IS to 25 cents higher than the Chicago market. This is due to the fact that all Oregon grown corn is consumed ; locally and there Is a demand for more. Add as a result the local market 1st equal to the Chicago market. plus the freight charges of ship ping from Chicago to the Pacific coast. So that is why the Oregon corn 'grower has the advantage over the grower in the Mississippi valley :who sells on the .Chicago market.' ' 1 I V,. ; h ; ... Yellow Dent is the favorite Others are the White Dent, and Flint varieties. Planting Is In early May. And what Is rather unus ual, is the fact that hilly land, with its deep soil, will produce just as good a crop as the bottom lands. When the Willamette val ley was In the making, deep fer tile soil was left on the hill tops. Higher Market ' In Oi-egoii In the Salem district I alone. there are about 12,000 acres in corn, and each year the acreage li increasing. It is a paying crop and land adapted to corn growing may be had for from $100 to $125 an acre, depending, of course, on the- distance from Salem. 1 'And don't forget that the farmer liv ing in the Salem district, extend ing out about 20 miles in each direction, has more good 'roads' than any district lnthe"""WMI5i northwest. There are 210 miles. Of paved roads and 1135 mifes if macadam and gravel roads latb;i district. ? I ' !" ' . N In 1923 corn sold' ra"TKrSaTfflr district for 90 cents a bushel. The 11924 crop sold for an average of $1.35 a bushel and there was a good crop. , The farmer needn't wonder or worry about snow.

I :(!;.. ;.,( Hydro-Electric Development TRIAt FACTORS WHICH GIVE How Nature Paved the Way in Oregon4-rMoist Air Factors Dame Nature fl exerted : herself during one of her most pleasant moods when she designed the Willamette valley;, She placed here the elements of soil, air, moisture, sunshine, - temperature, mountains and valley,, forest and plain, nec essary to make this the ideal spot for the highest "; type of human happiness, and industrial activity. Outside of industrial circles few people realize the extent to which. climatic conditions, influence in dustrial production. In most of the industrial centers of the east plants are either closed down for many weeks during . the' winter months or put to enormous, ex pense to keep the plant at a. com fortable temperature. During the summer months an almost equal amount is spent ;ln reducing the high temperatures in the build ings. In addition;! to this the pro ductive ' capacity of ' all employes is reduced by the! extra draft up on their energies in combattine climatic conditions, and their ex tra wages are required to cloth them to .meet. the. extremes xf climate. Here it; is all different. Nature provided, the right: combi nation, of climatic elements to stimulate, the worker to his high est efficiency every working hour. Nature provided pure, air, temper ate climate, sufficient moisture, pure water,,- and placed these things beside the most wonderful ouyyijf 01 raw, materials SUitaDie for every line of Industrial activliKv.-,. 2.S T i ty to be found. fnnhri -U i . 1 The water on the Pacific' coa's is so pure that it is-used in -batteries directly from the city f aac et or the running brook.

Opportunities. ' . - and Opportunities. and Possibilities.' OF IT A PI-iliH for Industrial Development and Pure Water Important Is bringing: many rubber factories to the Pacific coast. ' Woolen mills find the moist air of Oregon especially favorable to their successful work. It gives th wool fibers a flexibility not to b obtained by any artificial moisten ing. The 'same, is true of fla plants and that is one of the most important factors which - has le to the establishment of flax work- !nl??nts T"ey These are ail points of Oregon superiority as j a location for In dustrial plants. They . are the points .which jthe balance sheet insists upon considering. They are the points which shut out senti ment but appeal directly to the hard-headed common sense -which builds up a'bank account. In addition to the above enum erated resources' which, add to the probability, of dustrial plant. success of any in there is the matter as well as nearness Of Cheap power to ocean transportation. Water transportation! from Salem to the ports otK the world. Rail transpor tation across -the continent. The largest supply Jot standing forests of any state in the union.
