FOR TILLAMOOK.
Favors the Bonding Plan
To Show the Dairymen How
and
Good Road Through
to K«ep Three Cows on
the County.
One Acre of Land.
After the excellent address by
Professor Scudder at the late State
Dairy Convention on "The $100
Crop for the $100 Cow, ” Chas. Kuntz
and Wm. Maxwell, two prominent
dairymen from Tillamook County,
expressed themselves privately as
strongly impressed with the address
but deplored the fact that so few
heard it, and, in addition, they said
the people of Tillamook “want to be
show. ” Professor Scudder used
charts to illustrate a crop rotation
for a soiling system by which he
said it was possible in the Willa­
mette Valley to maintain, so farj as
green feed and roughage are con­
cerned, three cows to the acre with
only a little grain or concentrates.
Thia in contrast with two or three
acres required to pasture a cow.
In this soiling system leguminous
crops ar’ used largely, which, he
cited, improve the soil more than
other crops, aud the manure can be
applied more properly and better
results attained. He 'showed that
the cost of producing a proper
ration under the soiling system is
one-third less than producing it in
the dry form. Much valuable in­
formation was contained in the ad­
dress, which was delivered without
notes, but a bulletin on the subject
was promised very soon.
Mr.
Kuntz called attention to the ¡fact
that even the bulletins are read by
comparatively few, and not fully
understood by all who read.
Why
can we not, he asked, have an actual
demonstration in Tillamook County
of what Professor Scudder has told
us ? He believed a farm of this
kind could be made self-supporting,
and that many farmers would be
found willing and glad to rent land
for?such purposes.
If Professor
Scudder's system could be made e
success, and the profits shown
actually’ made, the farm is the way
to show it Hence, he wished the
Rural Spirit would suggest a Coast
demonstration farm, to be located
in Tillamook Valley.
People outside of Tillamook have
for many years looked to that region
as a source of information, rather
thana learner; as an exemplerjhat
had worked out all its own prohlems.
and was on the pinnacle of success.
And while Tillamosk 'chesjk»- has
made a world-wide reputation, and
the Tillamook dairymen have prov­
ed the value of co-operation, yet the
fact remains that only a small pro­
portion of the farmers do winter
dairying, and not only Tillamook,
but the entire Coast country—that
west of the Coast range has many­
problems of crops and care of stock
all its own ; many of its dairymen
are operating in the most primitive
manner, aud it has had practically
no help and no suggestions from
our agricultural writers or pro­
fessors. The dry farming and
irrigated regions of Oregon, not
nearly so well developed, northickly
populated, now have experiment or
demonstration farms. Is it not the
Coast’s turn next ?
The writer later talked of this
matter to Dr. Withycombe. He does
not favor an experiment farm, but
is heartily in favor of a demonstra­
tion farm in Tillamook County.
Dr Withycombe favors a number of
demonstration farms in different
parts of the State, where the scien­
tific knowledge and proved theories
of the college can be demonstrated
in actual practice. Often, he says,
local men can be put in charge of
the farm, and as Mr. Kuntz sug­
gests, it can be made self-support­
ing, or even possibly produce a
profit. The suggestion then is more
reasonable Let a demontitration
farm be located in Tillamook, and
let this wonderful Coast region
show what is possibleto accomplish
when the best methods of crop
raising and feeding are adopted.
And when these demonstrations
are made—-when
Tillamook is
“ shown, " and her dairymen use
the knowledge thus gained, its out
put will be increased, its fame
spread, and its people still more
greatly prosper.—H. A., Rural Spirit.
D ear S ir ,— The strongest incen­
It is no justification to say in
defence of a non-bonding proposi-
tion that the money raised by taxa­
tion and turned into a sinking fund
for the liquidation of the bonds or
the payment of interest on the
same, is going out of the county,
for before a dollar of the sinking
fund need be collected and dis­
bursed. the entire proceeds of the
bonds would have been expended
on the roads and our toilers, and
our merchants and other business
men would be revelling in its bless­
ings, while at the same time, en- :
joying the glorious benefits of as
fine" roads as the country could
produce,
Hence, the money under a bond-
ing scheme, comes in before it
goes out ; comes in in a lump and
goes out in easy stages—more or
less easy according as the wisdom
of the proper officers in charge of
the administration of our county
affairs may dictate the redemption
of the bonds distributed over a
series of years more or less ex­
tended—and as for the interest, it
need not be any great bug-a-boo,
for if the scheme is manipulated
right, the bonds had ought to sell
about par and to that extent reduce
the rate ; and as to the residue, the
enhanced value of property, good
roads and a better country, popu-
lated with a more prosperous and
progressive people, would many,
many times more than offset it.
I hold that under the bonding
plan a main thoroughfare from the
north to the south end of the
county would be eminently practi­
cal without greatly burdening any
one and would insist that it be
built without fear or favor upon a
permanent right of way, es­
tablished on an even grade, over
the most direct and practical route.
After this was accomplished, I
would favor the improvement of all
roads to the beach resorts on the
same general plan ; if the country
had sufficiently developed through
the building of more railroads or
otherwise, so as to provide addi­
tional sources of taxation to justify
such a course, I would favor the
improvement of the Dolpli road
from Hebo to Sheridan.
Suffice it to say that any under­
taking for the permanent improve­
ment of our public roads at the pre­
sent time should be studied and
comprehensive one or else a great
mistake will have been made. These
are my sentiments.
