Silverton. Or, May J7. In the fall
of 1915 Cart A. Benson became a vic
tim of ridicule by many people In this
community when he started a pheas
ant farm at his place one mile west of
this city, gtarting with twelve pheas
ants purchased from the state game
farm at Corvallis, but today his indus
try is attracting the attention of peo.
pie from the four corners of the Unl
ted States, Canada and Mexico. He
has established a business even beyona
his awn expeditions, and it all devel
oped from the encouragement given by
that famous game lover. Homer Dav
enport, and J. K. Mount,. who always
maintained that the game farm could
be successfully conducted in this val-'ey-
. '
Homer Davenport, shortly before
his death, had one of the largest game
farms in the world, situated in New
Jersey, which was stocked with pheas
ants originating on a farm in the Wal
do Hills. Mr. Mount was the first in
Silverton to undertake the business
and he had developed quite an exten
sive flock of birds when he wag obliged
to abandon the Industry on account of
other business matters. But he urged
Mf. Benson to pursue the vocation,
which he did. Amid discouragements
by numerous people who had tried and
tailed in the undertaking, and who
"Knew lt to be impossible," Carl saw
a future for the wild game farm which
he had long dreamed of, and by care
ful study and persistency he has been
remarkably successful.
The place is widely known as Ben
son's Pheasant Farm and is located on
what Is commonly called the "Poor
Farm" road between this city and Sa
lem. The pens cover about seven
acres of land, and the equipment has
been constructed at a cost of $10,000.
This year Mr. Benson expects to raise
3500. pheasants for the market. At
present he has about three hundred
matured birds. Five hundred Near
Bantam hens are covering 1600 pheas
ant eggs anil brooding about 1000 lit
tle pheasants. Of these there are two
varieties, - RIngneck and Mongolia
pheasants. - Next year he expects to
add wild turkeys, grouse and perhaps
native quail to his flocks. Experience,
he says, has taught him that hen
hatched pheasants are stronger and
better than Incubator hatched birds,
and far , more successfully brooded.
Pheasants require much more care
than chicks,- because thfey do not seem
to understand the call nor manner of
their foster mother and unless watch
ed carefully will leave her and finally
die. And they also require more care
ful feeding. To a novice Mr. Benson's
process of making natural food for the
Infant birds Is truly Interesting. lairvae
he say3, is the only successful food for
the young birds, and away back In an
obscure corner of his farm he has con
structed what he calls the "fly barn'
where larvae is daily produced by the
bushels. Fruit growers, said Mr. Ben
son, are not the only ones to suffer
from the Cold last wintee and in a spir
it of humor he remarked that many of
his choicest "green-backs" died from
exposure. In trie early part or me
season he found it difficult to manu
facture larvae, hut the warm days of
the present are favorable for the pro
duction and his choice herd of flies
are working overtime. To verify the
statement he exhibited many bushels
of insects in the prepared state.
The farm is equipped to manufac
ture the crates and supplies necessary,
grind bones, chop foods and every
thing is successfully accomplished at
home. ' ' ' -
Last fall Mr. Benson shipped 2000
birds to eastern states and about four
hundred ln Oregon. Daily he recedes
orders for birds and eggs but will not
be able to fill the orders this season
that he has already booked. This gives
'.omething of an idea as to how well he
has succeeded in the vocation. I
An Alrdale hound acts as guard
over the flock of birds and seems to
think that is her only mission. A few
nights ago the animal wus making a
terribletprotest at an outer, gate. Soon
she returned to the houe; said Mr.
Benson, with a piece of cloth in her
mouth, which he had apparently re
moved from the seat of some fellow's
trousers. He remembered ' seeing a
man wearing a pair of pants made of
cloth of a corresponding color, but the
fellow may only have been looking at
the birds. "No, the boys don't steal
pheasants," said Carl, "they all know
the hound." The dog need not dis
courage visitors, however. They are
treated with courtesy and Mr. Benson
finds pleasure in explaining the mer
its of his wonderful industry. ,.

ly so. Now, it Is entirely wrong to put
these grownups in with our blind chil-1
dren at the state school at Salem, j
Adults do not care to be placed in the !
same classes wjth children. The in-1
dustrial work cannot be successfully j
carried on where children are trying
to work with the middle aged. Dis-j
cipline cannot be satisfactorily main-;
tained. The same set of rules will not J
work for both, old and young. We can
not have two sets of teachers and
class rooms one for children and one
fr grownups. It has been proved many
times that 4t proper moral standard
among the blind inmates is next to I
impossible where both sexes and all '
ages are put in together.
A state industrial institution for tho j
adult blind located in Portland would '
render it Impossible to make hei
blind children's school at. Salem .a
place to care for those grownups ren-1
dered sightless through industrial ac
cidents. It is not meant that these
victims of accidents and the other
adult blind of the state should b de
nied a place; but that the place for
them Is the proposed state workshoo
for the blind for which the voters of
Oregon should roll up a big majority
next Friday by voting for the passage
of the measure entitled, "Blind school
tax measure" SU yes.
Help the blind. Vote a small tax,
but don't drop nickels Into a tin cup
on the street corner. A quarter thus
spent would do your bit toward giv
ing all the adult blind of Oregon an
employment institution in which to
work for a living. Do not encourage
beggars. Put them in a way to earn.
As a rule the adult blind want to work
They do not want to be idle and de
pend on charity Any more than you
would if your sight should fail you.
The 1-6 mill tax and the 1-25 mill
tax mean that twenty and two thirds
cents would be the tax on every $1000
valuation for the year 1921, and only
four cents tax on every $1000 valua
tion for maintenance each year there
after.
When so little money will do so
much good, ln the name of humanity
can you refuse your support of a
measure that gives to the man or wo
man handicapped by the loss of
sight, the opportunity that is the un
doubted right of every citizen of this
great state the chance to make good?
The right to his measure of happi
ness? Left in idleness, he can never
be useful, he can never be happy. It
Is mere chance that makes the olher
man blind where you and I see. Let
us give him an opportunity to suc
ceed In his chosen line; be lt carpet
weaving or chair caning or piano tun
ing, be It: salesmanship, or hammocTt
making or operating telephone switch
boards. The adult blind are doing
these things successfully in - other'
states. They can do them here if we
will open the way.
