opinion that the total value of the
dairy product of Oregon for 1906 will
reach nearly $10,000,000. He said the
Oregon dairyman gets an average OF
4 or 5 cents pound more for his but
ter than is secured by the Illinois
dairyman. Reasons for this difference
in favor of Oregon are not difficult to
assign 1t is known that the heavy
demand from the shipping interests
of the port consumes large amount
of butter. The coastwise and Alaska
trade buys butter. There is con-
stantly increasing demand from the
towns and cities, which are growing
faster than the rural dictricts are de-
veloping. The large majority OF new
people here settle in the towns, while
but comparatively few enter the but
ter producing industry. The result is
a constantly pressing need for more
butter than is being produced in Ore
gon, and the higher price here is OBJ
taincd because of the time and money
required to bring the eastern product
by rail to the Oregon market.
No Money for Dairy Instruction.
From the Office of the dairy and
rure food commissioner comes the an
nouncement that the appropriation for
dairy inspection and instruction in the
state has been exhausted for the pres
ent year, so no more work of this
kind can be done. l.. W. Hanson, the
gentleman who has filed the office of
deputy commissioner and dairy in
structor, has arranged to go to Mad
ison, Wis, where he will enter the
university of Wisconsin for course
of special instruction in dairying. He
will be gone some three months pur-
suing his studies, after which he will
return and resume his duties as dairy
instructor to the farmers in this state.
Mr.. Hanson's work among the dairy
farmers of the state during the past
two years has been of a highly valu-
able character, and it is unfortunate
that the state legislature did not make
sufficient appropriation to carry on
the work steadily. However, it is the
intention of the state dairy associa-
ton as an organization and the dairy
men as individuals to urge a larger
appropriation at the coming session OF
the legislature.

direreutial, but compelled certain con
cessions to be made that were design
