ROGUE RIVER, Jan. 30. 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. Their poultry
is all thorobred White Leghorns, and
they have up to date and modern
chicken houses.
Those are three of a number of

How well they succeeded, was evi
dent, when Mr. Carless returned
from tho wood lot, where he hart
gone only a short time before. Almost
every article In the house was out by
the time the firo was under control.
Although tho house was partly saved,)
It is almost totally ruined by smoke j
and water. Luckily tho insurance,

happened to bo in Phoenix, and was
at. tho fire. This will bo a severe blow
to Mr. and Mrs. Carless, as the home
was almost luxuriously furnished and
many things will be greatly damaged.

seer of tho paving work and his as
