THAT IS THE COME TO ORE
The Man Coming From the
the Salem District and
in a Section Very Near
for His Corn Here in Oregon
? (The "Come to Oregon" pamph
let of the Salem Chamber of Com
merce has : the'' following to say
under the head of corn:)

farmer in looking over the. Salem

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.

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

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

things beside the most wonderful
