BARBER M The dairy cow is always found to be one of the most important factors entering into the prosper ity of any community. The great dairying sections of the. United States are the places where hard times have less disastrous effects than any place else. Whole states which a few years ago we're struggling under a bur den of debt and discouragementi with worn out land and jsmall crops as well as . low markets, turned to dairying and are today among the most prosperous of the Union. The same transformation has taken place in hundreds of individual communities., But such things are not the result of haphazard wor. It is the ; result of high-powered co operation among the entire . citi zenship.' In a community as well organized. as Falls City the devel opment of the dairy business on a great commercial, scale should be no difficult task. At least no un surmountable difficulty should be met ir .; ' ..!." f One of Its great advantages is its ; abundance of cheap lands. Logged off lands may be purchas ed at very low figures and on very easy terms." : - : . These .lands especially adapt themselves to dairying and poul try. They may be used for either of these purposes without first clearing the stumps. i Pasture grasses sown among the stumps- will produee - wonderful results and abundant pasture, n j; A living is assured to the family while the stumps are being cleared away. .- . : .- . - 4 As a Side line, hog feed may be grown in the form of grain and peas which the hogs will harvest themselves,, will also- add to the family-income,., with., hega at tha figure they are now and" are likely to. remain. - - - - -; ...;-;- I- It is a -sound philosophy of the successful farmer that bankruptcy stares the farmer in the face who fails - to convert - the product of his farm into some form of con centrated product for the. market. The old time farmer planned to turn every pound of produce into fat of some kind butter, cheese, pork, beef or mutton. - - With the cheap .- lands about Falls City, the problem of over head cost is met in a way, greatly Ings, also brick Iqt one or two "dutch ovens." , f ' A road. will be built through the tract from west to east, from Bridge street, following the line of the alley way marking the southern boundary of the tract. I The plans for. the regular clean up campaign call tor all rubbish to be sacked or boxed and placed outside on. parking, so It can be removed easily. There will L be teams to do this work. Every household - is requested to ?see that the very tin can, is picked up and' every other unsightly relic disposed of. ...... l . Don't forget that the govern ment whitewash has been tried out this spring,' right here at home, and it ia a SUCCESS, does not rub off like the common kind, will Jast several years, tcan, be tinted or used plain to match the complexion of other nearby build ings, and it Is just a heap better for wood sheds, small barns, fence posts, board fences, and the like, than leaving them natural.

' 1 ' to- his advantage. - The territory about Falls City is capable of sustaining a cow and goat popula tion, sufficient . to- support one of the largest creameries in the state. L Improved herds of 'dairy and milk goats , are within reach " of every interested farmer, so that ured from the start. -1 - The- average dairy cow in Ore gon 'produces but 150 pounds or butter fat : annually, which does not pay for her keep. This seems a peculiar situation -when we con sider he vast number; of high producing herds there are in the .state. But its answer f is the reluctance of-many men to take advantage; of their opportunity. A successful dairy depends as much upon having a. pure. bred l?9tnf man In .lia.rrA aa f Jtntw ,H the barn.
