VRIDAV. OCTOBER 5, 1923 TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT Editorial Page of the Tillamook Headlight COMMENT giUamook Ijeabligfit MOHAIR PRICES WILL SOAR Independant Weekly Paper ' psMiahed Every Friday by the g^dlight Publishing Company Til la mook, Oregon_______ Harrison^ Managing Editor Owing to the »laughter of most of the mohair bearing goats in Turkey during the recent war over in that country for food, the price of mohair will go up, and stay up indefinitely, say authorities. There are not enough goats in the world to supply the rapidity growing demand for this species of wool. This condition will lead many people to go into that busi­ ness. The coast offers the best con­ ditions for goat raising of any section in Oregon. The goat is a browsing ani­ mal, and the wonderful growth of brush in the coast sections, and the mild winter climate make it an ideal place for goat herds. Many persons in this county are going into that business, which pays better returns than any other live stock business, according to the amount of capital in­ vested. The highland and mountain­ ous districts of this county, offer ex­ cellent inducements for goat raising. Land that is worthless for dairying and agriculture and fruit raising, is well adapted for successful goat rais­ ing. It is said that there are many goat herds in this county, and that they are increasing yearly. as second class mail „tttr in thl> l!-8- P^toffi«« al fi||.aool Dragon. ^SUBSCRIPTION rates s^ Tear, By Mali ........... $2.00 jii Month.«.
