TL'HSUAV AUGUST 24-. 1915. The Dairy Industry. The dairy industry ot" Tillamook Count v is at present its moit import ant one. With the aid of Agricultur alist joncs it is no being develojfcd alns; more up-to-date line. '1 Ul- county supports one cow test ing association, which takes in the territories near Tillamook City and ha 60o cows enrolled. The officers of the association are: W. E. Noyes, Pres., Joe Durrer Sec. A Ho! stein Breeders Association has been organized with 35 members, W. L. Noyes being its president and Ben Kuppenbendcr its sec.etar . The jersey men have also organis ed a Icrsy Breeders Association, with Will Hare, as its president and Win. illiams, Secy. The dairy cows of the county feed on i?rccn pasture nearly the year round. It has been demonstrated Ly actual test that our best dairy U.. . will ktcp a cow to the acre by 'iie r i-ins of roots for winter ) While w: do not claim that our vrs ;re keeping a cow to the acre, we Jo say that it can be done, for it hat actually been done on a small scale. Some of our cows in the past have i(lled a gross income of $140 in a year and thousands of them have j ieMed $100. mr farmers are now getting better stock and it is only a question of tirni when our ranches will produce far more than they arc now produc ing. 'I he introduction of the silo is asitmg many in solving the winter feediny problem. The future of the dairy industry of Tillamook County looks very bright indeed and there is no good reason why it should not be doubled in the next few years. .... a U . 1... n.u in,. nnt lllV. ftltK hhcd an assocutiwn there and built a dryer.

Last week we were shown two trees in the gartuu of -4nk Long, Sr., which had some fine apples on thcui. It looked strange indeed to see such small apple trees, loaded with such large fine apples. The bodies of these trees arc i more than two inches thick, however, they are bcarina apples which are now as large as any other apples ) j f Lumber Industry. Our Fishing Industry. The fishing industry of Tillamook County is very important, the annual product reaching into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. When the sea son is good over 00 fishermen are employed on the different hays and rivers. T he bays and rivers which af ford Rood salmon fishing are: Nes tucca Hay and river where a good tannery is supported; Tillamook Hay :md rivers emptying into it where t lin e canneries and two cold storage plants are operated; Kchalcm Bay and river, where two canneries are operated. The deep se; fishing is just being developed. Halibut and many other splendid specimens of deep sea foods are caught. As conditions demand it this wonderful supply of food stuffs will he developed commercially and will mean much wealth to this locality. Ii i estimated that there are M; 000,000 board feet of timber in Till mook county, including fir, cedar, hemlock and spruce. We have several mills in the county at present, but most of them are running for the jome demand only, as soon as our , .uiroors are properly improvcu anu wc again have access to the markets of the world the lumber business of Tillamook County will take on large ptoportions. Tillamook Clay Works. Tillamook Clay Works owned by the Krcbs Bros, south of town is a very important industry for this county. A verv good quality of tile is made and much of it isbeing used I to tile our low lands. A very good ! quality of brick is being made at these works. Tillamook Lime Products Co. 'I he Tillamook Lime Products Co., under the management of U. G. Jack son is now mining a fine deposit of lime stone on the C. VV. Kelson place north of town. Much of this lime if being used on the land andis just what our people have needed since the op ening up of this county. The deposit seems to be in a large body and will no doubt be of much benefit to the county in many ways. Berries and Small Fruits. The loganberry is chief among our small fruits. This berry can he raised to great advantage on our hill lands, and has been known to produce an income of $100 per acre, net. Several of our farmers at Ikavcr have taken Communication. Editor Herald. Dear Sir: As you have always been an interesting listner to my an- pie troubles, I thought I would relate to you the rest. J nave been experi menting for several years in an en deavor to find an apple worth raising in Tillamook County. Among my 30 different varieties I have found one perfect apple and three others which -ire a close second. So you see those people who always holler so loud to the effect that you cannot raise any good apples here, because it is Tilla mook County will have to shut their mouths sometimes. I have about six kinds which have not born any fruit yet. There might at least be one good one among them. I will have to re graft several of my trees as they have proven to be worthless. This gives me another backset for two or three years. I have planted out at present 700 tiees. There are in nursery rows ,130 ready to go out this full and I will complete the budding of about 1000 The Tillamook Hay Jetty. I Our government never expends a targe sum 01 momy without first con sidering well the object in view ami '. the benefit to be derived by tin gov - crnment and especially the people ' most interested. 'I hen again, the government is gen erally considered slow to make large appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors or other natural watirways. Through the efforts of Jonathan Bourne, who represented the state of Oregon in the national senate for sis years, congress wav made to see that, with a deeper chan nel at the entrance to Tillamook Bay so that Urge sea going vessels couljj enter, the forty billion feet of fine lumber back in the mountains would at once begin to move. The lumber industry i one of Tillamook County's greatest assets. Jn 1912 government engineers were sent here to make in vestigations and place estimates upon the proposed improvement. They es timated that the improvements would cost over $00,000, but when bids were asked for, one was rr 1 v -! from (ieibisch & Jophn, Portland contractors for $6.19,800. There was much preliminary work in getting ready for such a large project, but the company made good progress am! began driving piling April jj, 101 1 The contract with the govirnment calls for approximately .00,000 tons of rock, and for 5,700 feet of jetty. 35 bents, 4875 feet have already been driven and at the end of the j. ttv the water stands at about u ft. at low tide. No piling have been driven since July 1st, the company waiting until the rock train catches up with Us work. Work is progressing nicely now, vxj to Xoo tons being dilivcred daily. The company was given three years time 111 which to finish their work and they expect to do it. About .if) per cent of the rock has been de livered, ami by diverting the water as it is now, the engineers in charge of the work feel s-ife in saying that about go per cent of the efficiency has been accomplished. About Ho per cent of the trestle has been driven There is about 14 feet of water 011 the bar at low tide and the channel ih very well defined and in the proper place. (iovernment men are now at work in Jhr- bay making soundinin to as certain the depth of sand and what kind of material will have lo be mov ed in dredging. A deep harbor here will mean much to Tiliatnool, utility, and the government sr.ii.s nou 111 earneit in its efforts to help u- get what we have so long aiked for. The cost of the jetty is not all Sonic by the government, for the timber lands tdjaccnt to Tillamook llav hive to hear one half of the cost. The Port of 'lay City has been very active in its efforts to secure the proper appro nriations both at home and in con ?ress. There are bright prospects ahead for the timber interests of the ronnty, and cspT'-illw the towns and 1 1 1 1 V I.-.p. s III I the 1 I. h..s I Monow .V . Il.tnr n 'S J it' li .!-!! !
