~husbandry. This is indispen-
sable for the maintenance of soil
fertility. Our farmers should
Danish the erroneous idea of the
inexhaustibility OF their farms.
The great progress in agricul-
ture in Western Or gon will be
along the lines of dairying and
stock breeding. This section is
ideal for the establishment OF
small farms. Thus sooner or
later this section of the state
will be noted for its number O.
small farms. Here conditions
are favorable for the production
of the highest class of domestic
animals. Thus in addition to a
great development ia dairyine
many stud focks and herds will
be established which will char
acterize Western Oregon as one
of the greatest fine stock breed
ing centers of the continent.
Truly there is a great future
for agriculture in this state. Our
commonwealth is richly endowed
with natural resources but the
great wealth o. Oregon rests in
he development of her agricul-
'ur,.
