Inhibition Kqnal to Any Kver
Held in America.
The Folk County Mohair Asso
closed its fourth annual
fair Thursday niaht. The closing
was an ovation to tho promoters.
Kvery one present pronounced this
fair, in point of excellence of the
exhibits to be equal to anything
ever held in America. Visitors
were present who have seen the
American Angora Goat Associa
tion's exhibits, and declare that,
for beauty and fineness of texture,
the Oregon goat outrivals aU com
petitors. Next year the associa
tion will erect new quarters in a
diffoient part of town and will give
cash premiums.
The closing hours of the fair was
a crush, and the commodious ex
hibition buildimi was crowded to
il.A Anoi. The uublic schools of
Dallas visited the show in a body,
accompanied by their teaehers.
Dut now all is changed. Fens are
being torn down, the exhibits are
nearly all moved and a general air
of departed glory pervades.

Desponding to a request of tho
Extkkpbise as to figures represent
ing the profits in dairying, Mr. K.
C. Eldridge of the Independence
creamery, has kindly given us the
following figures, taken at random
from his December remittances.
The Jist might be multiplied, but
the number will suffice to plainly
demonstrate the amount of money
that can be made in dairying:
I. M. Simpson, 20 cows, 1100.39.
Frank Loughary, 6 cows, f 41 70.
Wright Smith, 7 cows, $59.45.
W.O.Morrow, 11 cows, 91.29.
H. Maltison. 8 cows, IG8.C8.
II. Mattigon's cows returned for
the months of October, November
and December as follow.': October,
$74.10; November, $72.90; Decem
ber, $G8.G8; making a total of
$215.68 in three months from
eight cows, or an average of $8.98
per cow for the three consecutive
months with two or three good
winter months to hear from.
The dairying industry is work
ing wonders in this section. We
can remember when there wasn't a
silo in the county, now there are
several and the list will be much
larger next year. Diversified farm
ing is making Polk county one of
the best sections on the coast. ,
