"Although the overall picture is

In 1885 that
figure rose to *15 8 million
Egg and poultry
products
recorded a 13 percent increase in
sales in 1885 Much of the rise u due
to increased consumer preference
for poultry meat products because of
lower prices in comparison of beef.
Miles noted
Grass and legume seed sales were

by counties. Miles noted lhat sales in
general were lower in Oregon east of
the Cascades than in western

"This is due lo the greater agncul
