Interwoven Vith 'West's' History
- The history of this mill is inter
woven with the history of the west.
Sixty-one years ago, two brothers
set up a small mill to provide wooj-
ens.for the early pioneers. ' They
were men of courage; and I it has
taken' men of determination as
well as courage to develop this
mill to its present magnitude, i In
sixtyone years (thanks to their
efforts) there has been built np an
industry employing .. thousands of
people. Today, the miniature mill
of 1864 has become the largest
woolen mill west of the Mississippi.
It's a long way from the hand
loom of the early days to the mod
ern power loom of 1925 but Ja
cobs Oregon City Woolens still en
joy the same reputation for qual
ity that the pioneers knew and de
pended upon in the stirring days
when the west was young, f.
It may be true that while there
is life there is- hope, but by this
time the former kaiser has prob
ably '" quit - looking through his
morning" mail for -that invitation

TIIE SHEEP BREEDER
thVSheep Boom That '
mw unvup UUUIH I
'Is On Here-Now:
, 'Chfs would have been the sixth
Sloga-n year that T. B.-Kay, man
ager, , of the Salem Woolen "Mills,
through an interview with the'Slo-
gan ie.ditor, Jias .repeated his ad
vice I that the rthing for- the Wil
lameate valley . farmers .to do is to
raise) medium wooled "sheep, .like
the -Shropshlres, Oxfords Hamp-
snires, etc., or .crosses of Merinos
with! Cotswolds , or Uncolns
! And to raise more of them. " For
every fanner to keep some sheep.
That they are i the best , paying
thing on the farm in thisi valley
But Mr. Kay Hwas at r the coast
A-

with his convalescent invalid wife
when tbe Slogan nxan called for
him -Tuesday evening. Mr Kay,
as the people "of thisstate know,
is Oregon's state treasurer, as ell
as manager of the Salem 'Woolen
Mills. :.. -. ;..'''"-,
Last year, the Slogan'editor was
able ; to say, from his ; interview
with Mr. Kay, the followingc
- Before the war wool was 15 to
2Cj , cents a' pound.' Tho.. prices
were np around 50 cents during
the war.T '.But they never went
back, after the war, to the prices
or near the prices that : prevailed
in 1914 and the years Jbefore
that . Wool right now-is 30 to
4 p . cents a pound, owing to grade.
The medium- wools' are 35 . cents
here now. They were 35 at this
time last year. The . market is
strong now.. Nearly, all other
farm' products suffered bad price
recessions. Wool prices persisted.
Barring some nnforseen event,
they will persist.

in a 4Q0 acre farm'. They , kept
100. sheep- to start with.' ' ' They
were Shropshire ewes. - They got
150 lambs a yeararid sold them
at $1350 annually for the original
fflock, andold the woornt 350
to M00 a year. .They made more
cleat; money on. their sheep, than
they did on all the rest, of the
farm. - Their returns for lambs and
wool . were i nearly all profit, for
they needed very little attention,
and - they improved the- potential
value of the land for other prod
ucts.' The lambs came twins- in
sufficient number to keep op the
proportion of 150 lambs to 100
ewes. ' . , " '
The Wool Is "Velvet ,r
Mr. Kay has always . insisted
that - the' sheep" breeding . Industry
would be a paying agricultural
line if they" did not' produce any
wool at all-that .the wool of the
sheep is "velvet" to the breeders
of sheep '
; That they would . pay i better
than, hogs if . they had no', wool;
because sheep fatten themselves,
and help keep the land free from
weeds r and" also -help" in ! keeping

up the fertility of the soil. He
points to the. fact, that lambs are
now bringing 1 to 8a head and
more. - ' "
He thinks every farmer In the
Salem district should keep some
sheep and that they should get
into the medium wooled breeds,
and that there is no other one
thing that will do more towards
making this district solid and
prosperous.
v Some Satisfaction .-
:; There is some satisfaction In
seeing your advice taken and to
witness those taking it profiting
by It. This is a satisfaction that
now comes to Mr. Kay. The farm
ers -of the Willamette valley who
have not heretofore kept sheep
are getting them. There is a
boom, in sheep. It is a healthy
boom. Jt will not be overdone as
long as there is room for another
sheep riven the range and feed
and attention that sheep deserve.
,i Sheep fatten themselves, if
given half a chance. With hogs.

much in' fattening as he gets lor
the Increase In weight due to fat
tening. "It'is largely so with cat
tle.' Mr. Kay has nothing against
hogs. - The boom in hogs here is a
healthy' one;r and "Itshould- be
encouraged, also the production
of, more' fat cattle, - along with
dairying, etc. But no farmer
should be without sheep, -for they
occupy a special place of' their
own, and their wool, and mutton
returns are practically all profit.
After Another Year
(The wool prices are about the
same now that they were at this
time in 1923 and last year. The
increase in number of sheep in the
Salem district goes on; it is en
couraging, r But It is still a great
deal slower than its manifold ben
efits justify. There is a fact that
ought to be mentioned in connec
tion with the management of the
Salem Woolen Mills by Tom Kay;
he keeps them running. Some
readers do not realize that at times
they must run at a loss not long
since .there was a straight period
of-six months in which there was

With the advantages at hand and
competition in the sheep classes a
little slack the opportunities for
sheep club members in Marion and
Polk counties are great. However,
only purebred stock of the highest
duality will stand a chance to win.
as the older dub members havg
the best sheep available. A pro
ject should never be -undertaken
with a scrub purebred or grade. '
From personal experience as a
club member the writer would
like to encourage- club members
to take a number of projects.
Sheep club members should extend
to other projects, so that their
knowledge of farm animals will
not be limited. Club members who
have never raised sheep should
give thexa a trial, as the sheep pro
ject Is one of the most interesting
and educational club projects.
