i The Pendleton East-OrcKonian indicates that there are
lio similar objections to the Umatilla rapids project as made
by Dr. Work to the Baker district and points out the power
possibilities from the Columbia as one of the major con
siderations in planninjr the rapids development. Oregon
needs power development, indeed, and reclamation work tw
well but we need it only when it can be secured in such
it way as to be an economic benefit to the territory served
nnd the people whose taxes make the project possible. The!
"Umatilla project, engineers seem to think, is of that variety
itnd should therefore be realized in the near future.
i ; NOT A "DUMPING GROUND."
i Australia has finally taken exceptions to the statements
j'of Aqifiljjcan experts on iiiimiitifttjim that American immi
gration restrictions will not work a hardship upon the ex
cluded Europeans and Asiatics because they will be free
to go to South America and Australia, which offer oppor
tunities equal to those formerly offered the alien in the
United States.
The Australian delegation at the institute of Pacific re
lations at Honolulu has announced frankly and with finality
that their country will not be made a "dumping ground"
or "melting pot" for the world's undesirables.
Immigration restriction in the Pacific dominion ante
dates that in the United States. While the country does
not expressly exclude Orientals there are only seven Jap-j
ancsc and few other Asiatics in the whole dominion. These!
results have been obtained through highly elastic literacy!
tests which permit the exclusion of undesirable literates as
well as illiterates.
The Australians feel as do the people of the United
States that they are under no obligation, moral or other
wise, to make their country a haven for the discontented
lower classes of other less richly endowed countries. They
offer no excuses for their restriction of immigration and
believe no apologies in order.
As in the United States, the future immigration of
Australia will be governed by the country's labor needs and
the limitations of its inhabitable laud area.

DECREASED FARM POPULATION.
Secretary Jardine gave interesting figures recently that
help explain the decrease in farm population that has taken '
place with an increase in farm crops and farm crop values
during the last 75 years. In 1850, for example, the farm
work done in 1924 would have required thirty million more
workers than were actually used last year, or three times
the number who actually engaged in the job of producing
the nation's agricultural products. All of which has been
made possible by modem machinery, better farming meth
ods, and the use of power on the farm. I
Here in the Grande Ronde and Wallowa valleys there
arc fewer farmers engaged gainfully in agriculture than
15 years ago, but that fact is not an indictment of the'
occupation nor an indication that it is on a permanent do- j
clme. I he farms ana ranches of these valleys produce
more and better crops today than they did 15 years ago,
represent greater wealth nnd greater- resources in spite of
the fact that fewer individuals are engaged in the work.
The same condition holds throughout the nation except in
a few isolated spots where intensified agriculture has de
veloped in that period, and is not peculiar to this section.
; Iowa, known as the greatest agricultural state in the union,
'has , less farm population than a generation ago and yet
' m-nfliin sover:il times iis much r.mn wpnlt.h.
It, is true that our farm lands can profitably occupy a
greater population than they do now and an increase in
farm population, with smaller acreage per man and higher
productivity per acre, is inevitable in the future. How to
bring that about, profitably in a short period of time is om
of the problems of Oregon development.
Love, courtship, marriage and
divorce are the four acts to the
little druma of life.

Of mankind. Mir William Milllgan,

exhibition here. The HritlHh diet,
on the average was in;mf ftelent. ill
balanced and monotonous, he said,
cooking left much to be desired and
the quality of food supplies was
open to grave suspicion. He til-1
trlbuted much of the dyspepsia, i
gustro-lntestinal disease and intes
tinal lethargy to the tendency of I
people to live on preserved foods.
"Our chemists.' he added, "have j
become, because of this tendency, j
in a sense almost the greatest slay-1
era of mankind. Responding doubt-j
less to a popular demand, they
have worked at the diseovery ofi
tood preservatives und these h-ive j
been so largely used t hat, along ;
with the results of cold storage, I
food became literally mumltied." J
