II believe that some day the farm
ers OF eastern oregon will follow the
example of willamette valley farmers
and will adopt more intensified farm
ing methods Ten years ago wheat
was the principal thing raised in the
counties of the valley But since
then the farmers have learned that
more money may be made through
diversified farming.
'At this time farmers everywhere
are engaging in dairying. fine stock
raising and they are getting much
more good out of their land than they
formerly did.
THE change in the farming meth
DDS of western oregon have worked

Willamette valley is now going for
ward at n more rapid rate than is
eastern Oregon. But it will not be
long until the people here likewise
realize the benefits of better farm
ing methods and they will gradually
adopt them, Here the problems will
be somewhat different from what
they are in the valley. But closer
farming methods will bring good re-
suits here just as they have in the val
