The mountains along our coast have the heaviest rainfall in the state, sometimes more than 100 lnch- The es falling during the year, broad valley between the Cascade and Coast mountains is drained by nu merous streams and the rainfall is .plenty but not excessive. The clim ate If this country is much like that of tuany parts of England. In the Willamette valley wheat growing forms the chief occupation but is gradually giving place to dairy ing, fruit growing and general farm ing. Alfalfa grows so fast that three and sometimes four crops are cut in a single year. Beef cattle are fat tened and dairy herds, sheep and breeding stock are fed on alfalfa hay during the winter and dry sea sons. fine breeds of cattle, horses, sheep aud ats are reared. The wool of the goat is known on the ii arket as mohair. Oregon is the largest mohair producing state In the Union. Pears, apples, prunes, peaches, wheat, barley, flax, gold, silver lum ber, < oal and nit ’- el are produced by our state.
