"Our Washington"

Perhaps the clearest way to com
prehend the resources of Washington
is 10 make comparisons with the
richest and most prosperous states In
the Union. For that purpose, Califor-
MIA seems an ideal choice. The figures
given below are practically all based
on the government census of 1890
and are available in this years World
Almanac, except the crop statistics
for 1922. which are supplied by the
department of agriculture.

APPLE MARKET MAY IMPROVE.

Colder weather and the publicity
which will accompany National Apple
week are expected to help the apple
market, in the opinion of b. A. Per-
ham of the Perham Fruit company of
Yakima.
Mr.. Perham is quoted as follows in
the Yakima Herald:
when all this early stuff has cea.
sed to go on the market we will be
able to take measure of the situa.
ton and judge what the trend of the
market is going to be-" said Perham.
"We can then tell whether it is going
to he worse or better I believe the
change then will be for the better.
"The present condition is temper
lazy in my opinion.
"The eastern farmer who Is now
hauling apples to the cities and towns
and taking what he can get for them
is not going to put them in barrels
and store them. We know that there
is now an oversupply Of early stuff
and there is going to be waste, but
that waste will not occur until real
cold weather comes"

OF gold and silver inquiry by Senator
Tasker L. Oddie, chairman, to conduct
hearings in the western gold and sill

of developing first hand information
upon the condition of the gold and
silver industry. Fletcher Hamilton,
formerly state mineralOgist of Cali
fOrnia for ten years, who was appoin-
ted to represent the Commission, has
arranged his itinerary, and will hold
hearings in Washington and Idaho as

BUY PRODUCTION WHEN
STARTING A Held

Any old COW is not good enough
for the farmer in the dairy business
today. 1t takes an animal that will
pi oduce butterfat to make it. Many
farmers over the state are buying up
animals and forming small herds.
There are few general rules which
might be followed to advantage in
the purchase of dairy cow.
AS result of this increased inter-
est in dairying. county agent A. e..
Lovett of the Extension Service,
State College of Washington, sug-
gests that every person desiring to
purchase new stock consider some of
nine points. These points have been
worked out by a person who has
purchased many dairy cows.
First, purchase the dairy cow sub
ject to tuberculin test in sixty days.
Purchase no individual which did
not produce more than go pounds
of butterfat.
If possible, purchase the animal
from herd in COW testing asso-
citation, for then the individual will
have records.
See the cow at the place and under
the conditions under which she had
lived for one year if possible.
| Look with suspicion on any defects
not fully and readily explained. Pur
chase young COW showing she is
with calf or with calf at side, where
possible.
Buy the best producing individual
you can afford, whether she is pure
bred or grade.

NO BETTER PLACE THAN THIS,

AS state for which nature has
left nothing undOne in contributing
toward It's glory many people look
proudly and lOngingly toward Califor-
mia. And the fact that our own state
was more richly endowed in the crea-
ton and offers more opportunities to
the home builder than California is
often unrealized.
If anyone should question the YER
acity of the above statements the Ga
zefte would like to call their especial
attention to the advertisement pub
lished in this number by the First
National Bank of Oroville, the Stats
ties in which are republished through
the courtesy of the Spokane & East
ern Trust company.
That the citizen of Washington |.
more prosperous than the resident o.
California is indicated by the fac
that the production of wealth PEI
capita is much greater in this state
The value of farm crops in proportion
to the amount of money invested II
farm lands is also greater here which
would indicate that farming Is more
profitable in Washington than in Cal
ifornia.
The statistics also show that Wash
ingtOn has lower percentage Of
illiterates to the total population.
Apparently the climate conditions
are more favorable for good health
here for the average span Of a mans
life is three and one-half years longer
In Washington than in California.
But the statistics do not tell OF
WashingtOn's natural beauty which is
not excelled by any other region In
America or Europe. With its beauti.
fu! mountains and forests, azure
lakes and innumerable streams and
waterfalls Washington is Turing more
tourists to the great northwest every
year.
And this rich state has no more
favored locality than our own Okan-
ogan county which Is not only a de-
light to the tourist but offers wonder
full opportunities to every man in its
varied resources which are still in
the Infancy Of their development.
1t would seem that no resilient Of
Oroville should desire to live else.
