READ and STUDY the Subject Matter. 



The subject matter of this bulletin is not intended for hurried or care- 

 less reading. The idea of the writers throughout has been to compress the 

 greatest possible amount of information into the smallest possible space. 

 Every sentence carries an important fact for the guidance of the newcomer 

 seeking accurate information regarding Oregon from the agricultural stand- 

 point. Every statement is a conclusion, "boiled down", drawn from the 

 observation and experience of men who have made a long study of their 

 special lines and know the agricultural conditions and possibilities of Oregon 

 in detail. It has been their effort to make their statements conservative. 

 They have not attempted to tell the newcomer how to farm his lands; but, 

 rather, to give him facts relative to the present production in the state and 

 information such as will aid him in GETTING STARTED RIGHT, so that 

 he may avoid making mistakes in selecting his field for work and have the 

 best opportunity for success. The reader who is truly interested in 

 "Oregon's Opportunity" should not merely READ these discussions, but 

 should STUDY them if he wishes to more clearly understand the facts 

 contained herein.
