of eucouragement for Benton
county farmers. -; After , several
months of ' negotiating. 'Mr.
Fischer has succeeded in com
pleting arrangements with
large Chinese and Japanese firra,
whereby his mill will da an im
raense export business. Te meet
this demand for flour in the Or!
ent, the Corvallis Flsuring Mills
will need about all the wheat to
be gotten in this section. .
- Wheat is -quoted at 45 cents in
Albany. Mr. Fischer is ready
to contract fer this grain at 47
cents per bushel. He will also
assume charges for sacks secured
by farmers at other . mills, and
will receive wheat at Granger,
Calloways and Wells at Corvallis
prices.
Butter and Cheese.
From now on every year will
see our farmers in a , better finaa
cial condition- This, will be
largely due to the fact that they
are doing more diversified farm
lug. Exclusive . wheat raising
is a thing of the past ,wih the
farmers of Benton -county. They
are going into fruit raising, the
stock business, wool and mohair
clips are cutting a larger figure
each year, hut dairy isreduce will
undoubtedly play as important
a part ia the finances of this
county in the future as any new
industry t which our hnshand
men are now turning their attend
tion, An exchange states that
the farmers are making money
ia butter and cheese, and makes
tile following statements:
Batter having sold for about
17 cents a pound all summer,
shows a good, Healthy tone in
the market generally, although
at times it has been a trifle lag
ging. At this figure it ..is said
creamery and dairy men can
make money "by the barrelful,"
as one commission man remarked
today. .While he may be a little
off on the barrelproposition.it
is generally contended that farm
ers producing batter at 17 cents
a pound do much better than on
wheal at an average price. . The
demand, too, for Oregon butter
fias been and continues very
good throughout the North and
Bast, and an average of 24,0001
pounds are handled weekly !
through Portland. This speaks !
volumes m favor of diversified
farming, a subject now being ;
gien considerable 1 attention by !
farmers in the Willamette valley.
Cheese " is also a commodity
meeting with ready- demand and
manufacturers are pleased with
the outlook.

Not of least importance among
crops in this locality is the China
pheasants. .Probably at no time
have these tempting birds-been
tnSre plentiful, and farmers will
be obliged to post trespass no
tices oa every lence during the
open season it they secure a just
share of the pheasants which
they have furnished grain to fat

watch for these notices, and save
themselves trouble. . -r
