OroRun Ih worthy now of the most
tforloiiB conaldorntlonW tho home
Eoehor, tho manufactnror or tho In
vestor. ' Oregon lias an nron or 96,000
tsnnnro mllos. It Is tho, ninth largest
state In tho Union and is greater
than New York, Rhode Inland and
l'onnsylvnnla combined. It has an
avorngo length of S30 Alios and an
avorago width of .176 mllos, with ap
proximately 360 miles of shore lino
on tho Pacific ocoan.
Or agon is fartunato in having a
fow valleys and a comparatively
largo number of smaller ones. The
Willamette valley is 12C mllos long
nnd approximate 60 miles wide, and
is pre-omlnontly adapted to dairying,
intensified and diversified farming.
Many experienced observers, who
have had occasion to investigate this
valley, pronounce it unsurpassed by
any equal area In the world.
Facts ' justify Oregon's claim to
distinction as a groat fruit growing
section. For two years in succes
sion Oregon has taken the grand
sweepstakes prize at the national ap
ple show at Spokane, Wash., for the
best carload exhibit of apples. While
theso tributes to tho Oregon apple
have possibly added something to its
fame, the record for the prices re
ceived is the greatest testimonial any
fruit could secure Ono Orogon dis
trict has consecutively received the
highest price paid for four tier apples
during tho last 10 years. AiuUhcr
fruit district In Oregon hns' focolvmi
the highest prlco over pnlil for pears
and tois tint nmrltot rcgulat-ty, Rec
ords ot Individual yields' hnvo been
so largo and tho prices paid for the
applet have been so high that in
many Instances tho profits were so
targe as almost to rotnpol disbelief,
it has not beau an Uncommon thing;
during tho jiast four years for fruit
growers in Orogon to make as high
as f 1000 net per acre an apples and
ptr.
NO industry In Orogon offers
greater Inducements ami opportuni
ties than dairying. There are two
factor which justify this statement:
In the first place, the climatic condition!-
of western Oregon are al
most Idoal for the dairyman. K
perla from other states who hnvo
itmde a protracted study of this sub
ject jm unanimous In their opinion
that this section Is unsurpassed as a
dairy country.
In tho seoond place the demand
for dairy products In all tho cities
and towns of the Pacific northwest
Is Increasing much fustar than tho
supply. It Is necessary, therefore,
to ship in from Uiu onst nnd middle
west very large quantities of butter
and ogtw. From SO to 100 carloads
of eggs aro shipped into Portland
yearly at an average of $2500 to the
car. Fifteen to SO carloads of but
ter, costing about $200,000, aro an
nually shipped Into Portland.
At strategic points all through
westorn Orogon, creamerlos and con
densers aro found and It is an isola
ted farmer who is not reached by a
milk route. An average cow In Ore
gon, with proper feed and attention,
will return to the dairyman a not
profit of 50 por year. The gross
roturns will be from $100 to $110
nnd the feed-cost will not be over
$55. The value ot the skimmed
jnllk, calf and fertilizer equals the
labor cost and interest on the Invest-.
ment, leaving tho remainder clear
profit. Thore are 50 cheese factor
ies in Oregon, 70 creameries nnd sev
en condonsarle8. Tho domand for
good cows exceeds the supply nnd
thoso who will engage Intelligently
in raising dairy stock will be splend
idly rewarded.
The mild winters of Orogon arc
conductive to successful poultry rais
ing, and the chlckon has the heaotlt
of outdoor life practically the year
around. On account of tho fact.
poultry raising Is less expensive in
Oregon than In the east, a fact which
Is demonstrated by the record of tho
Unipqua valley, whore more turkeys
aro raised than In the whole state of
Rhode Island, which Is famous for
Its turkeys.
Many of the other conditions which
ut-tt. so, Jnvornhlo, fur ,dulryjni .apply
with equal rorco to pouury raising,
tn the face of hi Increasing demand
the opportunities along this attrac
tive line are ery groat.
Oregon has four hundred billion
feet, or one-fifth of tho standing tim
ber In tho United States. A con
The I'nivorsilv of Oregon innimire
sorvnllvw estimate of tho vritilo of tho
lumber output la $30,000,000 per
year. Approximately 8 por cent of
this Is expended In Oregon for labor
and supplies, and six million dotlats
is distributed In Portland for the
same purpose. The lumber cut by
tho Portland mills for 1010 was
nearly 700.000.000 feet, being tho
largest of any city In tho world.
Need of additional power for light
ing and othor purposes Is constantly
arising and the fact that thore Is in
reserve such linmenso power, will
appeal to thoso who are looking for
manufacturing ?ltes where power can
be had nt the minimum cost,
