Conditions there are so much similar to those of Coos county that whatever is of interest to oue should also appeal to the oth­ er. Under the caption "Acreage for One Cow," Roy C. Jones in the Ore­ gon Farmer, figures out this import ant dairy problem in a very compre­ hensive manner in the following: "Most of the farmers of Tillamook county grow on their own farms prac­ tically all the feed consumed by their cows. "Two-thirds of the cows freshen in or near early spring, are fed hay and roots or kale until grass is abundant, about the middle of April, and then aro pastured uutil the first of No­ vember. when they are again put on­ to hay and roots, turned by in early winter and maintained on hay or hay and roots until they freshen again. "Feeding in this manner the aver­ age man on the bottom farm uses about two acres of land per cow. Of this two acre« one-tenth of an acre will be required for the root or kale crop and the balance used for pasture with the exception of one-half to three-fourths acre, which will grow the hay crop from May 20 to July 10. The man on the prairie requires about twice the land for this pur­ pose, but as this is valued at about County Court Doe» .Away With flee—a Cut of $405 per Mo.

The duties of the fruit inspector was to inspect orchards in the coun­ ty to see whether or not they were afflicted with scale of any kind. Fruit and vegetables coming in here from outside points also came under this inspection and any produce sold in markets could be condemned if found to be afflicted with any fruit disease.

Supt. Miller of the Southern Pa­ ciflc stated other day that the rail- road did not expect to compete with water carriers to San Francisco from Cooa county, but did expect to corn­ pete for the Portland freight, ile said: The rate of *3 per ton between Coquille and the California port would amount to only about seven and a half cents per hundred for many kinds of goods, and that sort of a rate would never compensate the railroads for the haul. A b to passenger rates the same was true. The fare from Coquille to San Francisco by rail he expected would be about the same as from Portland to that city, and the steamer rate of *10 would get the traffic with which the cost was the main consideration As to the rates between Coquille and Portland, he seemed to expect that the railroad commission would allow them to charge four cents a mile this side of Eugene, which would make a rate of about *H.75 between Coquille and Portland. work on the Bandon road west from this city.
