A num ber of our local farmers are building up dairy ranches. About eight years ago George Martin bought the old Poe place located one half mile on the Pacific Highway west of Rogue River. "When he purchased this place, the farm, consisting of approximately 20 acres, was in a run-down condition and had upon it an old-style, poorly constructed house. During his occu pancy of this place, he has replaced the old house with a splendid, modern home, everything therein being oper ated by electricity, and he has farmed the land in such a manner as to make it one of the bost producing alfalfa and diversified ranches in this section. He is now working toward the end of making a complete and up-to-date dairy ranch, abd has purchased a thorobred, registered Guernsey sire of the Riverbank strain. This sire was awarded second premium at the 1923 International stock show. Ho has now seven grade cows, and la In the market for so mo thorobred Guernsey cows, from which he intends building his herd''. A. R. Brash ear. who owns one of the best ranches on the Pacific high way, about one mile from town, has purchased a thorobred registered Guernsey sire of the Riverbank strain and has several good cows with which he is aiming to build up a real dairy ranch of high grado thorobred stock. Mr. Brashcar's farm is a prolific pro ducer of alfalfa and he believes it is more profitable and better for the community to market It through good high grade milk-producing stock. His Guernsey sire was awarded the bluo ribbon over all Guernseys at the Jose phine county fair. Wyllo and Carter came here about three years ago from Klamath county and are engaged in building up a dairy and poultry ranch. They have now twenty milk cows, mostly grade class, i. but have lately purchased thorobred registered Guernsey aire from tho Riverbank strain, also some thorobred heifers; they intend getting into registered stock -entirely. The grand sire of the sire mentioned sold for (10.000. Wylte and Carter have been making extensive Improvements on their farm Just north of town on the Evans creek road, among the most important the erection of a silo, the first one to be built in this section of the country. They say the silo Is almost ,lndisperisible and has proven so satisfactory and profitable that they will build others.
