H. W. COOLEY’S HOBBY
PROVED TRUSTY STEED
H. W. Cooley rides a hobby. Yqs,
p o u ltry -raising. No, not poultry-
raisin g on a larg e scale w ith u n lim ­
ited c a p ita l; ju s t plain hens-—a low­
ly beginning with a sm all flock. P e r­
siste n t effort and a liking for the
work a re m ore v aluable assets than
were money, opines Mr. Cooley. And
of course his opinion carries w eight
because he has dem o n strated th e
tr u th of any sta te m e n ts he may m ake
reg a rd in g chickens.
As th e p ro p rie to r of th e W hite
Knoll p o ultry fasm five m iles n o rth ­
east of G resham he has established
him self as a su b sta n tia l and p ra c ti­
cal p o ultry b ree d er w ith a re p u ta ­
tion th a t is know n all over th e coast
sta te s and probably fu rth e r than
th a t, fo r all we know.
W as It only ten y ears ago th a t the
n eig h b o rs sa t back and predicted
th a t he would sta rv e when he p u r­
chased th e ten acres o u t th e re and
began th e erection of his poultry
sh ed s? W ell, he laugh is certain ly
on them , as th e re Is no m ore com ­
plete and im posing p o ultry eq u ip ­
m ent in th e sta te th a n th a t on the
W hite Knoll. Steady application did
it. A sm all beginning, unqueijgh-
able en th u siasm , a close study of re ­
q u irem en ts and conditions followed
by an application
of th e lessons
learn ed . Mr. Cooley has encouraged
m ore b eginners
in sm all poultry
v en tu res th an any m an in Oregon.
And now we are to add this val­
ued citizen to the ro ste r of jU resh-
am. Com ing h ere a t th is tim e of
aw akened in te rest In p o u ltry p ro ­
jects he will be In a position to re n ­
der inv alu ab le assistan ce and co u n ­
sel to m any people here. Mr. and
Mrs. Cooley have p u rch ased th e An­
derson bungalow
and th ree half-
i acre lots on W allu la H eights and will
m ake th e ir hom e in tow n. In fact
Mrs. Cooley is alre ad y estab lish ed
here. Mr. Cooley will rem ain at th e
poultry farm fo r som e tim e to assist
his son-in-law , G eorge A rm strong, in
caring fo r the 10,500 cbickR alread y
hatched this season. They expect to
raise 6000 more.
As announced in th e O utlook last
m onth, Mr. A rm tsro n g recently p u r­
chased th e p la n t and will m ake his
home th ere. A ccording to Mr. Cooley,
Mr. A rm strong is now th e “ boss”
while he is con ten ted w ith th e title
of m anager. T he A rm stro n g farm ,
which Mr. Cooley accepted in p a rtia l
paym ent for th e W hite K noll farm ,
has been re-sold by Jam es E lkington
to J. D. Splaw n of th e B rightw ood
d istrict, who will move th e re w ith
his fam ily a t once.
Upon re tirin g from th e active
m anagem ent of th e p o u ltry farm , Mr.
Cooley will spend a good p a rt of bis
leisure in preach in g th e gospel of
egg production to all In q u ire rs in
