other fruits than for any other reason Not only
the United States, but in England, Scotland and
other parts of the old world Oregon fruits take the
highest rank The section of the state known as
Hood River stands at the head of the class with the

superfluous to mention it, garden truck flourishes

"Onion growing is profitable in the middle west"

The average reader knows that previously
much the larger portion oregon and other north
western territory was covered by heavy timber and
that the lumber industry and is to this day the
leading one of many sections Of this part Of the
United States. Important is this fact in general
way it interests but very limited extent the man
from the middle west who knows little and less
about merchantable timber. But to one feature OF
this industry desire to call particular attention,
namely that lumber bills for improvements Of what
ever nature in Oregon do not make hole in the
bank account they do in Nebraska. One build a
nice comfortable house very low figures compared
Missouri river prices; hence there few farmers
in this vicinity who are not well housed and have
good barns for their stock.

Several Kinds of Climate.

Properly speaking this state has climates
than one To begin with there is eastern and western
Oregon the dividing line being fixed at 121 degrees
west longitude On the west the coast counties have
the most equable temperature, degrees below
being the coolest ever recorded while the point
is very seldom reached. These counties have the
heaviest rainfall and the growing is upwards
Of ESQ days long.
The Willamette Valley lies between the coast
range and was the part of the state which, by the
wonderful beauty and unusual fertility, first attracted
particular notice and it here the first permanent
settlements in the state made 1t contains more
than 100000 of rich agricultural land the
highest recorded temperature is only a little over
100 degrees Fahrenheit, seldom falls and the
growing season averages about 225 days in the
year.
: Farther south two other important valleys
the Umpqua' and the Rogue River valleys, the latter
locality having recently achieved fame through the
favorable advertising given Il by its superior quality
OF apples and other fruit The mean annual tempera-
ture OF this region is about the that OF the
Willamette valley. for although farther south the ell
ovation is generally speaking greater, thus eQualiz
ing the climate.

ance of sunshine it is to be found perfection

humidity and the air is clear and pure as the

turns and more certain profits than breeding and

field pea which yields abundant crop and is said
to be as good as TO feed and fatten hogs.

quietly casting your bait, the gamest OF fish lit

Great Farming Prospect.

Prof James Withycombe, director of the United
States government experimental station at the Ore
Agricultural college, gives it as his opinion that
eventually when properly utilized, Oregon will yield
$500, 600, 900 annually. He opines that while grain
live stock are at present the major productions
of the eastern section of the state irrigation farming
dairying and horticulture will be the principal
industries of this region and further states that he
believes ultimately horticulture and darying will
be the two great agricultural industries of the entire
commonwealth and advises a person selecting new
site for farm to be certain that portion OF 1t is
adapted to fruit growing Prof Withycombe again
advises the conner to provide himself with good
dairy herd and flock of poultry, these can be
made support the family while the fruit trees
growing and the farm is being brought to a state Of
perfection
Poultry raising in the northwest is Of the most
profitable industries. For this the eastern section
offers the most inviting field Here wheat the prin-
cipal foodstuh grows in abundance, and is lower in
price than elsewhere in the state Alfalfa, OF the
best green feeds successfully grown while oats and
barley yield heavily.
