The manufactured products that nra shlppod but bring Into tbo commun ity monoy from tho outside that oth orwlso would not get Into local cir culation. Especially Is this Iron In Kla math county, which Is rather abut ,ln and far from tho outsldo mar-' kcts.

' At thin tlmo with thn prlco of buttorfat on tho Incllno and tho low prlco of hay and feed "with tho largo surplus of feed raised this season, It Is an exceptional opportunity to go Into tho dairy business. Thoro Is no lino of farming that Is so woll adapted to this section of thn coun try today. Tho lucomn Is regular and good prlcas rulo all through tho year with tbo posslblo exception of about thrca months In tbo spring when production Is the heaviest on the- coast. At tbat tlmo buttor prices urn always tbo lowest while tho annual movement into storago Is at Its height. Tho dslryman receives a harvest return each month. In addition to tho monoy received fropt thu sale of cream ho has tho skim milk to turn Into pork or chickens. This Is a real byproduct of dairying and In considering tbo returns from his cows each dairyman should not loosn sight of this as It Is an im portant rourco of Incomo. Tho Klamath Falls creamery be gan operations under now owner ship April 1st, 1020. From that dato until August 1st, 1921, thoro were 290,414 pounds ot butter and 16. 211 gallons ot Ico cream manufac tured. For this tho farmers wero paid In cash 112J.4H.2D.
