During the course of his re
marks on "Up-To-Date Dairy
ing," before the Farmers' Con
gress at Salem last week, Dr.
Withycombe said:
"There is a bright future for
the dairy interests of this state
Uur possessions in the Orient
will give this nation a commer
cial prestiee in those densely
populated countries. The de
velopment of our shipping inter
est on the Pacific will be phe
nomenal. Line after line of
steamships and a rapidly in
creasing merchant marine will
ply the Pacific, carrying the pro
duce of our farms and factories
to civilized Asia. With this
ever expanding trade will come
a demand for the finished pro
ducts of the farm, such as butter,
cneese, meat, trmr, etc. Ore
gon is no longer isolated from
the markets of the world, but is.
in reality, in the center of the
consuming population of the
earth.
'The high-priced' products of
tne tarm come from the dairv
These perhaps represent the re
suits of the best energies of the
larmer. With up-to-date dairy-
mg weaitn aocumuiar.es in var
ious branches of agriculture.
Dairying paves the way for larger
crops, it robs the sou of prac
tically nothing.- The by-produots
afford a valuable sustenance to
calves, swin and poultry, thus
enabling the farmer to secure
larger annual returns from the
sale of farm livestock. The
dairy farm stands next t the
fafctory for giving constant em
ployment to laborers. The
monthly revenues from the sys
tem of husbandry affect the com
mercial status of a" district. In
stead of the farmer liquidating
his obligations to the merchant
annually, he pavs spot Cash for
all his purchases. He becomes
prosperous and contented, his
children are given a college or
university education; the home
is nicely furnished, and he is en
abled to enjoy natural comforts
Of life.
"With strictly up-to-date
methods - there is no reason why ;
dairy products cannot be pro
duced here at a sufficiently low
cost to defy competition."
