ROADSIDE IMPRESSIONS
AlrIIe Is Situated in Center of
Prosperous Farming and
Dairying Country.

The region about Airlie, Polk county,
can be easily recognized as a country
of old development. In the newer
farming communities of the county,
there is not the advanced and perfected
appearance that one sees there, but
rather more of the unsettled appear
ance-the chaos of the formative
period-and less of the established
and mature state of advanced develop
ment. In the newer farms, the pro-
portion of land yet uncleared Of its
virgin forest and the land still claimed
by the gnarled stumps Of previous
slashings is in preponderance. In
this older neighborhood, there is a
decidedly greater amount Of land
grown old under cultivation. and the
timber and under brushwood is
crowded back to the untillable
mountainsiGos and the margins Of
the water courses.
Although AirIie is the center Of the
trade of this territory and the only
avenue OF export, the people have not
congregated to build it into a town Of
any great proportions, but have pre-
ferred to spread their settlement out
over the broad acres Of the surround
ing countryside, making the village
proper merely depot for supplies
and means Of communication with
the outer world. The most Of the land
holders are the children Of the pioneer
settlers who originally homesteaded
the land, and the names Of Staats,
Williams, Lewis, Smith, and others
predominant.
Although the quality Of the land is
not all that could be desired for hop
culture, large hop yards abound.
However, dairy farming and the
raising OF grain are the most general
and profitable forms of industry. One
Of the most noticeable things is the
universal application Of up-to-date
methods in all branches OF farming.
The most modern harvesting
machinery is found on nearly every
farm silos are built on many Of the
dairy ranches; the presence Of cream
separator is the rule and not the
exception, and wlndmills or gasoline
engines are to be found pumping
water at almost every farmhouse.
1t is claimed that none Of the farmers
milk less than twelve cows, while
some OF them have great many more.
The railroad from Airlie provides
prompt transportation for their milk
to the creamery at Independence. One
Of the noticeable facts Is that the pro-
portion Of blooded stock on these
farms Is greater than that OF the scrub
breeds-a tacit witness to the modern
and progressive methods Of the dairy
men of that neighbord.
The general air Of quiet prosperity,
the modern and tasteful architecture
Of the farm houses, and thousand
other obvious signs stamp this
neighborhood as one of the most
fertile and productive regions In Polk
county.
