an agricultural state and must place
its chief reliance for prosperity upon
agriculture.
The farmers say their great handi
cap is lack of money on long time and
low interest to improve their lands,
lower their overhead expense and
bring their fields into the highest
state of productivity. They are the
best judges of their needs, and theie
will be few to dispute their claims.
They have prepured a constitu
tional amendment for a rural credits
system, and petitions for placing it
on the Novcmlier ballot are already in
circulation. The plan will bo before
the electorate for adoption or rejec
tion, and people in nil lines of indus
try will have a voice in the verdict.
The farmers' progress is the state's
nroirress. Tho farmers' prosperity
is the state's prosperity, and less than
two per cent return on their invest
ments is not prosperity for Oregon
farmers.
Ixigged-Off Land Problem
The logged-off land conference held
under the auspices of the University
of Washington in Seattle, May 2C,

including m:.ny lumbermen interested
in this important subject.
Speakers brought out mu;-h of inter
