Why should Oregon import a mil
lion pounds Of butter annually, and
OF poor quality at that, when here in
the Willamette valley lies as fine a
dairyiDg section as can be found any
where? Oregon is capable Of produc-
ing about everything necessary to
supply human needs, and four times
as much as the state can consume.
Home production and export is the
basis Of state wealth, and the greater
the exports over the imports the
greater the volume OF money in circu-
lation. Let us quit paying a quarter
OF a million annually for imported
butter, turn the tables and be half a
million richer by exporting that
amount additional.-Eugene Register.

CREAMERY MEETING

The farmers living in the west en-
Of Polk county want a creamery
They are not particular whether it
operated on the cooperative plan o
by private capital, so long as it
operated honestly and furnishes
market for their milk.
A well-attended meeting was held il
Browns Hall last Saturday afternoon
and the subject Of creameries anC
cheese factories was discussed a
length. Every farmer present ex
pressed his preference for a creamery
over a cheese factory, giving as
reason that in furnishing cream to
creamery all the by-products of the
milk are kept on the farm.
George W. McBee, Of Liberty
called the meeting to order and stated
its object. He spoke briefly in favor
of a creamery in Dallas, and urged
the Importance of prompt action in
getting started before the beginning
OF the dry season.
w. H. Besecker, of Dallas, spoke in
favor of a creamery and gave his
reasons for so doing. While he pre-
ferred creamery, he would patronize
a cheese factory if he could not do
better
J.. Fl. Brown, of Salt Creek, also
favored a creamery. He believed that
a creamery operated by private
capital would prove more satisfactory
and profitable to the farmers than
one conducted on the cooperative
plan, but declared that he would
gladly patronize either. He said Polk
county was behind her sister counties
in the rapid extension of the dairying
industry, but that there was no reason
why such a condition should be per-
mitted to continue. sold Polk should
not take back seat for any Of them, F"
declared Mr.. Brown.
Cephas Nelson, of Oakdale, spoke
for cooperative creamery and told
Of the success of the cooperative plan
in his former neighborhood in British
Columbia. Mr.. Nelson made an
interesting talk and held the closest
attention Of his brother farmers while
explaining the methods Of conducting
a creamery on a cooperative basis
Like the speakers who preceded him,
he said he would heartily support a
private creamery in the event that a
mutual plant could not be secured.
Hiram Windover did not favor the
cooperative plan, and said he would
not take any stock in such a concern,
but promised that he would furnish
milk to a creamery OF either kind.
N. P. Rasmussen, of Rickreall, said
he would patronize private creamery
or take stock in a cooperative COM
pany. He wanted a market for his
milk.
Hon. George Myer. of Smithfield, /
said he would patronize a cooperative
creamery. but believed that under
present conditions plant operated by /
private capital would be better for the
farmers. As proposition to establish /
a branch creamery iu Dallas had
been made by the T. S. Townsend
Creamery Company, Mr.. Myer moved
that the meeting adjourn until Satur-
day, June l, at 10 o'clock a. m, aud
that Mr.. Townsend be invited to meet
with the farmers at that time. The
motion carried without a dissenting
vote.

FARMERS INSTITUTE CON-
VENTTON.

The convention of Farmers Insti-
tute workers in Washington, October
22-24, was undoubtedly the best at
tended and most successful of its kind
ever held. Secretary Hamilton is
more than gratifed at the progress
in farmers institute work throughout
the country, the great growth of the
movement during the past few years
and the real good that the institutes
are accomplishing There were in at
tendance some 125 Of the leading in
stitute men from all over the United
States and from Canada. The Cana
dian representatives alone, said Mr.
Hamilton, have reached, in their ed
ucational work, during the past year,
over 100000 farmers, while the
farmers institute of the United
States have come In contact with full
ly 100000 people. This cunven-
ton, which was largely in the nature
of an experience meeting, resulted in
the exchange Of many new ideas re-
garding practical farm educational
methods and brought forth the fact
that our Canadian brethren are in no
sense behind us. Tn fact, the United
States would best look to its laurels
if it is not to be outclassed by Cana
da in the effectiveness of farm insti-
tute work. That the movement itself
in this country has attained large pro-
portions is seen by the various State
appropriations, aggregating over
100000, last year to cover the work.
Secretary Hamilton, while cnthusias-
tic over its growth in the United
States, came very Near admitting that
the Canadian provinces are ahead Of

"they have the entire provice covered
wita farmers institute organizations.
In practical instruction in stock-rais-,
ing, poultry growing, butter and
cheese-making, and in fact every
line, the Canadians are forging rap
idly ahead.'
The Department of Agriculture is
in hearty sympathy with the work
of the farmers institutes, as their
work consists largely in disseminat-
ing the information gathered by the
national department. itself, the va
rious State experiment stations and
the State agricultural epartments-
in bringing it home>to the farmers
themselves, and thus putting into ac-
tual practice methods resulting from
the scientific work which the state and
federal government is carrying on
