32 New Settlees Came
To Oregon in February
February set a good pace for
the year in land settlement by
bringing 32 new settlers to Ore
gon farms with an investment of
$107,484. That is the record of
the Land Settlement department of
the State and Portland Chambers
of Commerce as shown in their
monthly report just issued.
During the month the depart-
ment received 2539 letters and in
quiries. Out of 201 questionnaires
returned by farmers, 161 stated
that the writers intended to come
to Oregon to locate during the
coming year. They specifice capital
available for immediate investment
amounting to $469,100.
Letters numbering 6316 together
with 2495 packages of literature
were sent to the prospective set
tlers during February.
Poultry raising appeals to many
of those who contemplate coming
to Oregon. Augusta, A. Webb of
Indianapolis, Indiana, has furnished
the names of three prospective
poultrymen now living in Indiana.
W. H. Armstrong, a Michigan
farmer, is interested with a group
of his neighbors in coming in the
near future to build up chicken
farms. Oregon’s mild winters pre-
sent a strong lure to these pei pie
wearying of the cold.
Two Pennsylvania farmers, Rob-
ert E. Bates and Miss Elsie F.
Hollman, each have several thous-
and dollars ready to invest in Ore-
gon lands. Poultry raising on a
ten acre tract is the goal of Mr.
Bates, while Miss Hollman seeks
a dairying and stock raising coun
try place where good fishing and
hunting are available.
Every day brings a number of
farm seekers to the office of the
land settlement department accord
ing to W. G. Ide, manager, 283
inquiries having called during Feb
ruary. Illustrated booklets and
thorough information on the various
sections of the state are furnished
to all these prospective landowners.
Many of them are in Oregon for
the first time, while many others
have visited the state previously
and are now here to locate per
manently.

Annuals from Oregon gardens are

ing department of the state col
lege. They are planted in flats or
boxes where they are left until
the first true leaves appear. They
are then transplanted to another
flat, allowing 2 inches between.
When the plants are well started
they are put into 3 or 4 inch pots
to continue growth until proper
growing conditions prevail outside,
when they are removed into the
garden. Transplanting the plants
into the pots may be unnecessary
if outdoor conditions are favorable
to their growth before the plants
begin to get "yeggy” in the flats.
