"The aim of this booklet, has been to make it helpful to the home-seeker, and we have pointed out some of the reasons why Oregon offers great advantages to the man who tills the soil, who plants an orchard or is interested in the flock and the herd." Overview of Oregon followed by information on areas that have not yet been developed and land is cheap; climate, rainfall, geography, topography and soil, various crops that thrive in the area to include clover which hogs enjoy, apples, hop fields and walnut groves, livestock and dairy, general farming, the towns of Yamhill, McMinnville, Newberg, Sheridan, Dayton, and LaFayette, land values, etc. "The charm in part is climatic; in part is the character of the industries, especially that of orcharding. The whole situation appeals to one's judgment and spells Opportunity." Text separated from wrappers, light scraping and soiling to wrappers and to spine along with light wear to the extremities.
