Dairy Business Profitable.
Tillamook Never before in the his
tory of the dairying industry in Tilla
mook county have the checks paid the
dairymen for the month of May been
so large as this year, wbde all the

increase in the amount of cheese manu
factured. Two years ago, in 1907, was
the banner year for the highest prices
ever paid for butter fat in this county,
when it averaged about 35 cents per
pound, but from present indications it
will go above that amount for this
year, also lor the quantity of cheese
manufactured and the excellent quality
ot the cheese placed upon the market
fur all the cheese turned out at the co
operative association's factories is ex
amined and passed upon by sn expert
inspector before it leaves the factory,
all first-grade cheese bearing his
stamp.
Vale Raises Seed Alfslfa.
Vale Owing to the backwardness

comparatively light thia year in Mal
heur county. However, the seed crop
bids lair to be exceedingly good. This
is a new feature that has been intro
duced into farming within the last two
years, and one that is gaining ground
every year. Heretofore the alfalfa
hay crop has been the maj'or err p in
this part ol Uregon, but it has been
found that the soil is better adapted to
the raising of the seed, and that it is
more profitable to cut only one early
crop ana then allow the alialfa to seed.
