100 OREGON FARMER 



AVEEAGE VALUE OF DWELLING 1911-1912. 



Average Value of Dwelling. 



The average value of the dwelling in different parts of the state is of 

 interest chiefly because it indicates largely the etate of development 

 in the different sections, and also what will probably be required of 

 the prospective settler in the different localities. In the state 

 averages, it does not appear that the size of the farm has much effect 

 on the value of the dwelling, the average being $1,204, $1,303, $1,176, 

 $1,240, and $1,549 in the different sizes of farms. The variation is 

 considerable in the various divisions of the state, ranging from $533 

 in Central Oregon to $2,096 in the Columbia Basin. 



AVERAGE VALUE OF LIVE STOCK 1911-12. 



Value of Live Stock. 



The live stock industry is one of the most important in Oregon. Its 

 general aspects are fully discussed by Professor Potter on page 15; 

 the dairy industry by Professor Kent on page 25; and poultry 

 husbandry on page 85 by Professor Dryden. 



The above table shows the value of live stock on the several sized 

 farms. The state averages are $341, $878, $1,887, $2,255, and 

 $8,030, according to the several sizes of farms. These amounts are 

 3.6%, 4.7%, 8.2%, 8.1% and 14.9% of the respective total invest- 

 ments, as shown in the table on page 108. When it is remembered 

 that the large farms greatly predominate, these rates are confirmed
