PAGE FOUR AIEDFOItDMATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNT) AY, FEBRUARY 19, 1911. r a Kan HORACE GREELEY IS RE VERSED His Famous Sloyan of "Go West, Younjj Man, Go West," is Changed to "Come to New York, Young Man and Farm." NEW YOHK, Feb. 18. Horace Qrccloy lias been overruled. In place of his fainoiis dictum: "On Wer, young ninn, and grow tip with the country," the wisdom of JUll ways: "Come to New York, yeuiij: man, and go into farming." This may bound liku a queer bit of advice, but there's the word of Major K. K. Hiddcll, head of tho Bureau of Fnnn StatihtioK of the New York department of agricultural, that it contaiiiH the seed of certain suc cess. Hiddcll is booming the "hack to the old fa nn of New York" move ment and is firm in his conviction that (lie long prevailing opinion that nprioultural opporliuiitii'n lio only in the west is erroneous. "If the possibilities of New York and New Filmland farms were as well known to our own people as they are to the farmers of the west," Hiddcll says, "u'o wouldn't need to advertise our movement, for our own people would turn to farming instead of rushing to the cities." There are, according to Hiddell's department, 22(1,020 farms in this Htnte, averaging slightly more than 100 acres each. Five Ihousnnd of thcfic are now unoccupied and may he bought, for incredibly small sums. There are, however, nearly 70,000 farms on (lie market, now owned by men past their prime, who are not nblo to work them to advantage. As it is almost impossible to get good farm hands in this state, these farms fniny also bo bought cheaply. TIicbo farms offer rich returns to thoBO who will handle them scienti fically, Hiddell says. "They are not worn out patches of ground by any menus and they could easily be turn ed into big revenue producers," lie Kays. "They have one tremendous ad vantage over western lauds in that the finest market in tho world is within easy reach. Then, too, New York Statu has spent millions of lol Inrs upon good roads and the ruial school advantages of thu statu are. uuHiirpusscd anywhere." J hat many of thoso who emigrat ed from Now York years ago, vic tims of thu lure of the west, haw found tho "error of their way," is indicated by the large proportion of nativo New Yorkers among thoso who are now turning back east for agri- gultural pursuits. ; Statistical compiled by the depart ment of agriculture show that half of New York is still in wood and swamp land and waste. Keclamation intensive farming and the immigr.i lion from the wot, it is predicted, will in a few year put the empire stale in tho front rank of agiiciu t'ural common wealths.
