TRADE OPPORTUNITY If you want to trade your wheat ranch, don’t pass up my beautiful farm which joins the town of Dallas, Oregon. I want a real wheat ranch, 2000 acres or over.

Yet, livestock raising will go a long way in this community toward solving the farmer’s econom ic problems. Furthermore, the FARMERS ^ST ATE BANK is only too jlad to lend a helping hand * along business-like lines. - It is fortunate that the farmers in this vicinity have the opportus to visit and profit from the Pacific International Livestock Exp< tion in Portland. This year, October 80 to November 6, it is said exhibits will outrival any previous livestock show in all America. C.
