various members of the advisory committee to be used in the prepara- 

 tion of their respective reports. Thus all data relative to the live 

 stock industry was referred to Professor Potter; that which related 

 to horticulture, to Professor Lewis, etc., and upon this data their 

 respective papers were based. They are as follows:

For comparative purposes and for convenience in tabulating the 

 data relative to the various types of farming, the information was 

 grouped first by counties and then by districts. The State divides 

 itself naturally into two great divisions as regards topography, 

 soil, climate and state of development, namely: Western Oregon 

 and Eastern Oregon. 



WESTERN OREGON. 



Coast Division Clatsop, Tillamook, Lincoln, Coos, Curry, part 

 of Lane, and part of of Douglas counties. 



Southern Oregon Division (Rogue and Umpqua Valleys) Douglas, 

 Jackson and Josephine counties. 



Willamette Valley Division Linn, Lane, Benton, Polk, Marion, 

 Clackamas, Yamhill, Washington, Multnomah and Columbia 

 counties. 



EASTERN OREGON. 



Columbia Basin Division Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, 

 Morrow and Umatilla counties. 



Blue Mountain Division Wheeler, Grant, Baker, Union, and 

 Wallowa counties. 



Central Oregon Division That vast empire embraced in Crook, 

 Klamath, Lake, Harney, and Malheur counties. 



For purposes of more just and accurate comparisons the reports 

 from the various districts were grouped according to size of farms 

 as indicated in the following table. This is evidently necessary as 

 the results obtained by extensive methods on the larger farms are 

 not justly comparable with those obtained by the more intensive 

 methods which are usually practiced on the smaller ones.
