The Favorable Factors of Cheap Land, 1 Cheap Feed,
- Friendly Climate and SoiliiMake Falis City-a Natural
Dairy Section Development Waits For More People
' and More Capital
-4
By EDWARD T. 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. I

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. No cow should, be re
tained in a herd if she gives less
than .30 a pounds of butter fat a
year, and the really , profitable
standard should be the 500 pound
producer. She costs no more to
keep. - j
But, getting back to Falls City,
as a dairy center. The I situatibn
presents itself as open for Invest
ment in both dairy herds and
dairy marketing machinery in the
form of creameries jand cheese
factories. Perhaps no better op
portunity exists in the west . for at
live active creamery man to locate.
The people are In a highly recept
ive mood. They will lend every
possible assistance both' -to the
creamery proposition and to the
man who wishes to start .a-dairy
ranch on the cheap lands in the
vicinity.
; Ten thousand cows could be
handled In this territory without
crowding each other In any man-
- The secret of success lies 'In
producing a sufficient quantity of
cheese or butter to command a
permanent place in the market. '
The dealer, is reluctant to build:
a demand for butter , of a"hlgh
grade which he is unable to meet
at all times.
- No matter how high a grade of
butter Is made, if It can not be
produced in sufficient quantity to
assure a constant supply for the
demand it has created, its market
is limited to a pure local affair
which will fluctuate with local
conditions and is easily over load
ed. The big market is needed to
stabilize prices and the bis market
can only be secured by - the big.
steady dependable output. This
Falls City is abundantly able to
produce If she will.
