Columbia River Valley Dairy and Hog Prospects Praised
Jayne of the United States irrigation projects toured farmers institutes and stations in the valley from Altalia to White Bluffs. He reported strong interest in dairy farming and hog raising, noting alfalfa as soil builder and a quick return on investment.
