"Oregon's ogg Industry is Just in

cal poultry raisers reeehe anywhere
from 40 to fid cents per dozen for

nllowod In tho state? Oregon eggs
would sell in tho local markot for
probably 8 to 10 conts nploco.
An nverrne of 24.000 dozen eggg
n day are received In Portland from
out of tho stnto. Oregon nons ap
parently do not realize the Import
ance they command in ovory-day llfo.
Hymnn II. Cohen, tho market edi
tor of tho Oregon Dally Journal nn
authority on tho subject, says: '
"Thousands nnd thousands nf ilnl.
lnrs tho sum is Btaggcring -but the
exact figures hnvo not yot been com
piled, are sent EiiBt to pay for eggs
every year by the cltlzons of Port
land alone nnd It Is estimated thnt
fully n million dollars go away from
hero and other coast cities for this
purposo annually.
"Not only could every dollnr of
this Bum bo saved to tho people of
this Bectlon, but eggs could nctunlly
bo shipped to other centers from horo
at a good profit providing of course,
wo got farmers to rnlso tho hens.
"This has boon proved tlmo nnd
tlmo agnln, not only by agricultural
collogo experts, who, of courso, work
undor tho best of conditions, but by
practical fnrmorB who nro making
monoy on tholr own hook. With cli
matic conditions that would Insure
paying rosults from tho producing of
eggs, supplies could bo turned out
here nt n minimum of oxpense. Of
course evory Tom, Dick nnd Hurry
cannot successfully run n poultry
and egg business any moro than they
could run any other lino of trade
without experience. Hut, however.
It Iiiib boon demonstrated beyond a
rentmnnblo doubt that oggs are pro
duced horo chenpor than any other
place In the country.
"If tho rural population of Ore
gon realized what profits there were
tho world. Just at nrosont oec nro
ducers are looking toward Eastern
Oregon hiuI Washington in tho hope
of stopping this enormous outflow of
money to tho Enstorn Btntos.
"It h.ia been found upon praotlonl
experiment that tho egg produced in
sections wheie there Is llttlo llmo in
the soil will not bIiow tho keeping
qualities that do tho eggs put forth
from sections whoro llmo is plenti

egg no matter whoro produced, tho
ones that como from tho llmo sections
nre tho ones sought for storing pur

little lime.
"For this renfion it will pay In
tending egg producers to pick out
sites whoro tho soil has plenty of
lime, nnd soil of this character is
easily found in Oregon and moro es
pecially in Eastorn Oregon."
Mr. H. 1). Miller, the general
freight agent of tho Harrlmnn lines
in Oregon, dealing with this nnd
other subjects, says:
"Eggs, butter, poultry, in' carload
lota, nro shipped to Oregon from tho
Eastorn stntcs to supply tho demand
hero. Orogon farm do not produce
want Oregon people havo to havo.
"Fresh cronm la shipped by ex

by the trnlnlnnd aro shipped by
frolght from Nobraska to Portland
and Puget Sound packers to run tholr
pinnts. Orogon fnrms could produro
these things, but thoy do not. The
monoy sont out of tho stnto for hogs
alone amounts to $1,600,000 annu
