U( Owe One Ptr STORyOFWIKADO TO BE GIVEN AS BENEFITFORK.OFP hero s great fort mm iu poultry, and thov prove it to you y figures, just as those who hail the .Belgian hare fever elievod and proved by figures, that there was fabulous npllE value of the poultry crop in Oregon is estimated A at $G,000,000 annunlly. The value of the apple erop is less than half this sum, yet we hear uiueh of apples and little of poultry. In spite of the six millions of products, there is a great deficiency of poultry and poultry products in the Oregon markets. Portland annually imports L"0 caroads of eggs. Seattle and the Hound cities still more, Pctaluma produces tfl0,000.000 of poultry products a year and yet does not supply the demand of the San Francisco markets. The Rogue river valley ought to be producing and exporting a million dollars worth of poultry products a month. The market is made to order. Natural conditions are mere favoi'nblc than anywhere on the continent. Tho fame amount invested in poultry enterprise that is invest ed in. orchard properties, the same amount of intelligence and industry, would result iu sueh a production. There arc those who have the hen fever, who believe th b.v I wealth in raising rabbits. But exnorionoo has uroven that the majority ot poultry raisers are failures, just as the majority of those engaged in every business under the sijn are. roultry orfers no Uolcouda, but it docs offer a sure and certain return for those who intelligently engage in it. a substantial income upon the money and labor invested iu it. -Hut there arc probably fewer failures among poult ry il'cn than au other class. Most of the enterprises are con ducted as side-lines or incidentals, little labor or capital being invested and good profits resulting. But those who .! i .. mane ir a ousmess ami devote tlieir energy as well as capi tal, arc assured handsome returns. The poullrynian should .raise everything he feeds. He should himself reap (he profit on his grain, instead of pay ing profits to the farmer and the middleman, lie should produce his own green feed, vegetables and moat. It. is because the average ixiultryuian buys everything instead of producing it, that he docs not realize his fullest possible profits. To do this, irrigation is essential. Poultry is not as fascinating an occupation as fruit raising, but it is a surer profit maker, Moreover, as i side line during the growth of the orchard, it will pay tjio expenses oi, the orchard and turmsh a Jivine; for the, laiiuly, Every farmer and orchardist in the Hague river valley 1- .11 ni i i ' ii i ii suouiu go auo "iu uuaiuess una 1.0 wose cei;ing smau in vestment that "will yield-occupation and a fair return for money and labor; it'nffers an enticing fie.l.d.

I Nature has showered upon this region rich natural re sources, but our exploitation has resulted in attracting the ppequlator wthcr than the -developer. Now that there jjro np longer o)portumties lor tho floating realty operator to get-vich-quicKly by artificial stimulation and inflated al uations this class of citizen js no longer flocking hero and his absence is a good thing for the valley. If we cannot induce outside capital to unlock our re sources, we must unlock them ourselves. We must united ly agree to favor the local producer in every possible in stance to keen the mouev at home and provide payrolls for the people. With twenty-two billions of feet of merchantable tim ber in our adjacent forests, wo arc shipping in twenty to thirty millions of feet a year for the local market. 2s one qf it'is manufactured here. The lumber in our dwellings, and even our fruit boxes, is imported. We keep iu opera tion by our purchases, several mills in other parts of the fctate, when we might, at no additional cost to ourselves, keep them in operation here and provide payrolls for sev eral hundred men. The people of the v;illoy are paying, iu labor and freight over $100 an hour, ten horn's a day, for every day in tho year, in railroad freight and labor in other sections for our lumber alone. If every orchardist agreed lo use boxes made here out of our own lumber, and every builder did the same, we would soon have an immense lumber mill in operation. In lesser degree, the same condition holds true for cement and other articles, that we import in largo quanti ties, when nature has scattered the raw materials through out our hills. We let fruit go lo waste instead of cunning it, and im port many carloads of canned goods, when wo are begin ning to produce and can a superior article ourselves. The Jist could be lengthened indefinitely. AVe import too many of the staples that we have it in our power to produce. With the initiative freight rate bill in operation, the handicap against our locally produced products is elimin ated at least as regards our natural territory. Wo can dis tribute from our own towns as cheaply as iortiaiiu can. , Wo have waited too lojig, for capital to find us and unlock our resources. Capital finds only those who socle It. Wo must start tho development ourselves and the way to dp it is to insure a local market by purchasing jlogue river valley products, that will justify not only our putting oiir own money into enterprises, but attract out bido capital. Co-operation is tlio need of, the hour, not only in estab-t lishing industries, hut ih maintaining them.
