Excerpt from The Oregon Farmer: What He Has Accomplished in Every Part of the State, a Preliminary Agricultural Survey Under the Direction of an Advisory Committee From the Faculty of Oregon Agricultural College Corvallis, 1913 Glowing reports telling of the wondrous success achieved by some one specialist in a new country, are of little value to the homeseeker of modest means. What you and I and nearly all of us want to know - the questions we want answered - are: What has the average, serious, earnest, hard-working man accomplished? What kind of a home has he built for his family? How much money has he saved? What are his living conditions? What is his average income, year in and year out? What his expenses? These are the common sense inquiries all of us make about the farmer in a new country. The traveler or tourist who is visiting Oregon, can get these answers for himself by stopping at each farm house and asking the questions. The homeseeker, however, often cannot afford to spend a lot of time and money making a personal investigation. The State of Oregon feels a responsibility to the bona-fide homeseeker. The responsibility of placing the facts before him just as clearly and plainly as they can be presented on paper in an official report. This book has the facts in it, - the averages as to what the average industrious man has accomplished here in the State of Oregon. A corps of trained workers, investigators, was sent out by the State, into every County to interview farmers in every district. A list of questions was asked; these questions including nearly everything that a homeseeker would ask or would like to know as to what the average farmer had actually done since establishing himself in the State of Oregon. These answers were all tabulated and classified by expert statisticians, and have been analyzed by the practical men at the heads of the different bureaus or departments of our State Agricultural College.
