The Salcra Statesman ob
serves the KussoJananeso war

lem as the mill at the Capital
. City caunot export to either of
these oriental countries now
liut when lue war is over, pre
dicts the Statesman, this section
of '.country will raise more wheat
and Salem's flouring mills will
be kept going. The Statesman's
prophet is certainly not keeping
very closely in touch with the
trend of events. The Willam
ette valley will not raise more
wheat. It would be more near
ly correct to say it will raise
less. Dairying, fruit and stock
raising and diversified farming
are taking the place of wheat
raising in the Willamette valley.
Dairying especially, is growing
at a rapid rate in this valley
and as dairying, hop growing
and other industries increase,
wheat raising decreases. It is
better so. In diversified farm
ing lies the future greatness of
this valley. It is not in wheat State University.
raising. Nature intended the
plateaus of eastern Oregon,
Washington and Idaho for
wheat raising, and the Willam
ette valley and hut few other
sections can compete with them
in the production of wheat.
Nature likewise intended the
Willamette valley for diversified
farming and few other localities,
the world over cau compete with
it. As to wheat raising, that
industry has seen its best days
in thi3 valley. Farmers have
: learned that it does not pay to
wear the land out trying to raise
wheat in competition with the
country east of the Cascade
mountains. The future picture
of the Willamette valley is more
correctly described as one great
dairy farm rather than as an
endless wheat field.
