Excerpt from The Oregon Farmer: What He Has Accomplished in Every Part of the State, a Preliminary Agricultural Survey Under the Direction of an Advisory Committee From the Faculty of Oregon Agricultural College Corvallis, 1913 Oregon, with an area greater than that of Illinois and Indiana or of New York and Pennsylvania and with a population scarcely equal to that of Boston or St. Louis, has less than one-fifth of its tillable land under cultivation. Development of the latent wealth of the remainder, with its resultant effect upon the entire State, thus waits on immigration. Knowledge of the opportunities thus afforded, together with definite and accurate information of what Oregon farmers are now doing on these lands, should serve to attract the attention both of investors and settlers. The object of the survey was to obtain such information; the purpose of this bulletin is to present the information thus obtained in a plain state ment of facts without the glittering generalities of the average advertising pamphlet. Provision for this work was made by the twenty-sixth Legislative Assembly by an appropriation of for statistical research by the Bureau of Statistics in connection with the publicity work of the State Immigration Commission.
