Editor Statesman: i , '
Some day Oregon Is going to
'realize how much real value there
is in mohair. ; "When that f time
i comes the Angora goat will be a3
; common as sheep, and as well
cared for. Exactly that condition
prevails now in Texas. Oregon
" has perhaps 150.000; Texas 2,
000,00ft. -:
Just why Oregon has slipped out
of second place in the number of
goats may be explained in severaT
ways. ! Thi8-state .is now in-fourth
place, with a downward tendency.
At the same time mohair produc-
tion ln! the United States increased
jnv,er one million pounds in 1924.
Chief among the reasons for
' diminution of numbers-in Oregon
' la the unsound advice that mohait
goats will , "take care of them

need as much are sheep.- They pry
for such care' a increased returns.

Rornn for Millions Here ...
All this outburst is caused by
the statement of the mills using
mohair, that "Oregon mohair Is
going: to be much neglected if
growers do not improve the 'qual
ity of, their clip." The truth Is.
. Oregon ought to have more goats 1
than Texas. Abundance of pas-,
ture year-long is found in Oregon.
Texas has just had a drouth of
over 10 months, goats being fed
on oil-cake and other commercial
foods dally. Yet growers found it
worth while to keep their.goata In
condition. I

But consider for a moment the
complaint of the spinners in the

fineness, elasticity, strength and
lustre in the fibre. Oregon grow

UU
Grain growers in!the Willamette
valley Have proved that goats and
I sheep on- their lands increase?
yield. If a woodlou is available;
from May 1st to August 1st, the
goats can render-a good account
of themselves by soiling, fertiliz
ing and keeping weeds out of
grain. , .
Icommercial bodies ii the towns
caii encourage both sheep and goat
raising in Oregon,-with advantage
to themselves and the various lines
of city business. Secretary' Jar
dine. June 27th. at Portland, de
clared that his idea is to make the
farmer and business man realize
that they need each other, and can
work together to advantage of
both a fact being quite fully
demonstrated. - , .
If William Riddell and John B.
Stump ot Monmouth, Oregon, can
improve grain yi-sM by running
goats and sheep on grain lands,
other men can do it. In the past
four years I have visited these
farms in July, just at harvest, and
seen goated lands yielding more
than double adjoining land not
goated, the soil being the' same on
both sides of the fence.

Solving the Meat Question.
Host serious of the problems o'
goat raisers in America is the
meat question. Mutton and lamfc
are now selling at very high, .Hr-
ures. For this reason the sheep
men are prosperous. Go&t'flesh
i quite as edible , is not marketed
extensively because of prejudice!
Formerly it was sold as mutton.
529.000 being distributed over the
middle west and consumed by the
public as mutton within a period
of less than thirty months from
one packing house. Then Jsome
ingenious goat raiser 'secured
ruling that all carcasses must 'be
stamped "goat meat" prejudice
began operating, and5 the demand
for live goats disappeared. j
Now the name "chevon" has
been coined to correspond with
the word "mutton" as applied to
sheep meat, and trade Is reviving.
If the males are-' kept - off ! 'the
block, Che flesh of the goat is et
cellent meat, " hradly to be dis
tinguished from mutton, except by
experts. ' ' V.
Kango of Fabrics AVide ""
Discussion of mohair goats
would not be complete in any
sense if the fabrics made of this
fleece of the Angora, were not
mentioned. These manufactures
are increasing in popularity ib'e
cause.xf their beauty and durabil
ity. The pile or plush fabrics
have no lost their standing by in
troduction of the "smooth mo
hairs" now being used in uphol
rtery and drapery. The difference
'n the two is that the fibre in
Iush gets'jthe wear on "the "end.
In the smooth . mohairs the waalF
is on the side of the fibre. The
past two years have seen a large
variety of patterns added to the
list; new uses have been devised
for mohair, and it may be positive
ly stated that the future of the in
dustry is'Tery bright., ' j

It Bhould be said, however, that
large' flocks are not advisable on

better to have pastures fenced. If
