Dawson, the head of the firm, digni-

lack of size by the extraordinary

and root vegetables of variety provide

throughout the twelvemonth, while
the thousand-headed kale, from a
standpoint of economy and butter fat
producing qualities, is a foremost
crop in the dairying industry. This
plant yields twenty-five tons and up
ward per acre, and remains in the
field the year round as a succulent
and nutritious food
Many dairymen have found condi-
tions most favorable to the use of the
silo. One may fill the silo in the fall
with sufficient corn to last until the
first cutting Of clover in the spring;
then with vetch or clover, or both, to
furnish supply until corn is again
ready, using oat and vetch hay for
roughage and root crops to provide
change. Few dairymen employing 81
los fill them in the summer, depending
on vetch and clover. Some feed as
cut, others stack or store. There is
no freezing weather to hinder the free
use of the silo, as is the case in colder
climates.
Among the Polk county herds are
found some of the best specimens of
the Jersey in America, several being
founded entirely on stock imported
direct from the island. Guernseys,
Holsteins and other breeds are also
well represented, with a strong pre-
of registered stock.
Polk county creameries, of which
here are several scattered over the
county, gather cream from over an

its Angora goat and mohalr indus,
tnes, it being the banner county oil
the state in this respect. Goats rals-
cd here have carried away the highest
awards wherever exhibited in compe-
tition with Europe, Canada and the
United States, not only for high STAN
dard of breed but for the excellent
quality of mohair. From the bands
of Polk county have gone forth the
foundation stock of the best herds Oh
Angoras in America.
Fifty years ago Angora goats were
introduced in Western Oregon, beng
raised from pure-bred stock imported
from Asia Minor. Conditions were
found so peculiarly ideal that the IN
dustry has dourished and broadened
until now the annual clip amounts to
more than 100000 pounds, valued at
more than $425,000, while the yearly
increase approximates an equal
amount.
These animals have triple value in
the clearing of lands, as in feeding,
they absolutely kill all brush. Single
goats sell readily at So to So, while
high.bred bucks bring high figures.
Sheep and Wool.
Polk county also ranks well up in
the sheep and wool industry, In point

of quality, our wool takes first place.
Climate and other conditions are ideal
for fostering this industry, and it is
fourishing in many parts of the coun-
ty. The average value of sheep is 81
PEI head. There are eight wooden
mills in the state that consume large
quantities Of the output of wool Of the
state, which annually amounts to
about 15,00O,000 pounds of washed
and unwashed wool. Polk bred sheep
have won international championships
in competition with the best stock in
the world, ana rams are in demand
for breeding purposes.
Poultry Is Profitable.
California poultrymen hold that the
only section Of the Pacific coast that
can ever hope to compete with the IA
nous PetaIuma district of that state
is Polk county. This is made possible
by drainage equal to that at Petal
una, and the advantage gained by our
sheltered position from heavy winds
AMI chilling fogs. The prices of poul-
try products here are about the same
as those of New York and Boston,
eggs never retailing at less than 25
cents per dozen during the most fa-
vorable laying season and as high as
5O cents during the winter months,
While the average price of eggs in the
United States in January, 1913. was
80 cents, the price here was ~ cents.
and in August when the average was
10 cents, the farmers here were re-
celvlng 70 cents. And the market rul-
ed proportionately throughout that
and intervening years. Each wear
from $50 to 25O carloads of eggs. and
considerable quantity of poultry
arc shipped into Oregon from the
Middle West.
No one need fear embarking in the
poultry industry. The demands for
and eggs in coast cities are
Always greater than the supply. The
'rlees Of poultry foods are low. DaI-
as holds a poultry show each winter
