will be held in Grants Pass of those
engaged in raising Angora goats.
Tue object of The meeting is to or
ganize an association after the plan
of the wool growers aud fruit growers
associations for the purpose of market
ing the mohair direct to the factories
and shipping in car load lots, and also
to cooperate in the buying ano selling
to breeding animals and for the other
advantages that may be gained by
uniting all who are engaged in the
goat industry. There are now fully
1000 Angora goats owned i'll Josephine
and jackson counties, some Of the
bands number from 300 t. 500 Many
OF these goats are registered and from
the best herds Of the United States
aud South Africa
That Rogue River Valley is to be-
come as noted for its fine mohair as
it now is for its fine fruits is the
opinion of persons who are experts on
Valley Angora goats The climate IL
ideal for the health Of goats, for they
are . tender semi.tropicsl animal aud
the young especially cannot with.
stand excessive cold nor beating rain
storms. The mild winters and cool
summers Of Rogue River Valley pro.
ducs on the goats mobair of remark
able finensss aud great length, while
the dry hill lands with their heavy
growth Of brush aud wild grasses
afford the best Of pastUrsge for goats.
