LARGE MOHAIR CROP
MARKET STRONG WITH SLIGHT
UPWARD TE3DAKCY.
Thii Year'iClipin Oregon Will Ag
gregate Nearly 40.000 Pounds
Harvest It Over.
Salem, Ore., March 29. The great
mohair harvest of the itate is over and
ia estimated that the clip this year will
aggregate from 850,000 to 375,000 poundi
which ia a alight increase over the crop
of last year. The market, too, for this
high grade and much demanded pro-
duct has opened up well and 30 cent a
pound ia being paid at the present time,
which is considered a high average
price.
This ia another of the many producti
in which the state of Oregon excels, the
Oregon mohair being classed as the
very beet oa the market and it com
mands the highest prices. It ia chiefly
a Willamette valley product as it is
raised most extensively, almost exclus
ively, in Folk, Yamhill, Marion, Wash
ington, Benton, Linn, Lane and Doug
las counties. There are a few email and
scattered herds of goals in Eastern Ore
gon, but the attention of the stockmen
therttia devoted principally to raising
sheep and cattle rather than goats.
This is an industry which does not
increase very rapidly, not so much as in
the case of sheep because the goat is not
as hardy an animal, especially when
young, aa the kida require great care
and attention in raising until they ar
rive at a certain age, when they are
more hardy than sheep. The goat in
dustry is perhaps one of the least ex
pensive of any in the state, therefore
making the profits all the greater. The
greater portion of the expense in raising
goats ia in the" taking care of the kids,
as they are very delicate when extreme
ly young. About 75 per cent of the kids
born are raised to maturity.
The market ia strong and with a
slight upward tendancy. The usual
annual pool of the mohair has been
formed by the Polk and Yamhill county
Mohair Growers' association, the aggre
gate holdings of these two pools amount
ing to about 80,000 pounds which ia
about the same as that of lust year.
This pool will be placed on the market
at Dallas on April 1. They are always
successful as the growers usually re
ceive from 2 to 4 cents above the market
price. -
