TELLS OF AGRICULTURAL
PROGRESS OF NORTHWEST
Agricultural Inspector, Ia Chicago,
Speaks ON Land Development
in Last Few Years.

E. y. FaWllc Of Spokane. Wash.,
editor Of the Western Farmer pub
iahed at Spokane and Portland,
Oregon, IS In Chicago for few u. u.
for the purpose of inspecting the
work and exhibits Of the Chicago
Herald Land and Industrial Bureau
and Exhibition, looking toward repre-
sentation for the Pacific Northwest.
Mr.. Faville, who Ia markedly enthu-
siastic regarding the bureau and ex-
hibition, and anxiously eager to have
the state of Washington enrolled
among active exhibitors and bench
Charles, has interesting things to say
of the recent upward progress and
development of Washington and
Oregon.
"Tho rcpidity with which these
states have adopted a system OF
diversified farming and live stock
.nislng has been wonderful" In Mr.
Fayille's opinion. Especially has
there ben marked increase In the
growing OF alfalfa and other forage
crops-an initial step toward crop
rotation and essential TO the main
tenanco OF soil fertility.
"The original impetus resulting In
this economic advancement was Inn
parted In 1913, when Professor p. q.
Holden. prominent IN agricultural eX-
tension work. conducted 900 meetings
In a territory embracing 225 square
miles.
at that time the Pacific North
west was a buying region. Now II
has an annual surplus OF food and
foods 10 sell, and the importation OF
butter and dairy products has en-
tirely ceased. In the last Eve years
Oregon has increased the number OF
her dairy cattle 80 per cont, with the
Washington increase showing 40 per
cent. Tho Increase In other cattle has
been much more marked, i20 per
cent In oregon and $40 per cent In
Washington. Among the many oth-
ar promising improvements may hel
mentioned system OF great terminal
warehouses for the handling OF the
largely Increased grain haryests and
a bottor method OF handling grain
on tho farms
"Othor fine movements have been
set going also, as, for example, that
OF better roads aid the rural credit
system iust now receiving united at
tention from farmers and business
men alike. As a result OF all this
intelligent enort, the earning power
per farm In the Pacific Northwest
has been increased 10 Si,OOO-the,
highest in the country.
Since better farming always leads
to better homes and a better people, a
splendid school system In which
agricultural education plays an im-
portant part, has been built up, The
percentage OF lliteraoy In oregon and
Washington Is lower than In any
other state"
Mr. Faville knows whereof he
speaks when he commends the Chi
cago Herald Land and Industrial
ureau and Exhibition, And he
knows whereof he speaks, also, when
he talks OF the Pacific Northwests
gains. Chicago Herald
