Thursday April 22, 1915 OREGON COULDJTOO The state of North Dakota has begun to put into operation a plan which should bring thousands of new settlers within the next year. The legislature has appropriated $60,000 for the promotion of immi gration in the next two years. R. F. Flint, commissioner of agriculture, has given an impetus'to the plan by asking the cooperation of all the country newspapers in the state to induce their readers to write person al letters to friends "back home." Those farmers who are well situated and who have prospered are urged to write their friends and relatives in the older states, in the cities and in Europe too, telling them of their success, of the resources of the state, how they raise corn, clover, alfalfa cattle and hogs and in fact to try to induce these friends to break away from the cities and the older communities and settle in North Dakota. The plan seems to be an excellent one and doubtless will result in a great gain in the populatin of that state. But what is good for them is good for Oregon, especially Cen tral Oregon. Any prosperous com munity can benefit itsself if its energetic men and women will help to spread the gospel of country life. Almost every one of our readers can think of some friend or relative now struggling along in some town or city who if transplanted to a modest farm would be healthier, happier and more prosperous than they are at present. Let our read ers try the North Dakota plan. Write to your friends, tell them what you are doing and what you mean to do, point out to them that farming is not what it was 40, SO, or even ten years ago. Pass a good thing along. You will be doing your friends a favor and you will be helping the community. GETTING CLOSER TOGETHER. Meetings are being held in the towns of the Willamette Valley, in which the town acts as host and the rural people of the country are given royal entertainment which tends to create a more friendly feel ing between the towns and the country residents. At a big meet ing of this kind held in Salem last Saturday, the crowd was addressed by the Governor, who said among other things that if you are thinking of building a nice home in some city, I would advise you to erect the home, but not in a city. Build it on the old home place. Improve your farms. The Governor declared that it was necessary to have as large a diversity of crops as possible Harley O. White, Mayor of Salem welcomed the farmers and told them that the club expected to give many more such luncheons "It has proved such a success," decared the Mayor that we are simply amazed that we never thought of the plan before. We must get better ac quainted with each other, for that will radound to our mutual benefit. "I have been to several of these meetings this year," said the Gov ernor," but this one beats them all for attendance and enthusiasm. It will be a great thing for this state when the farmers and the city peo ple arrive at a better understanding and co-operate more fully than at present." There is food for much thought SELL YOUR CR TO THE Ochoco Creamery AND MAKE MONEY Ochoco Butter Clean and wholesome. The Butter that Betters the Bread ICE CREAM, the clean, pure kind. Try it. For'sale at Lakin's, Adamson's and Belknap's L. B. LAFOLLETT, Proprietor in these words of the Governor, and action along these lines by Central Oregon towns would be a long step in the right directon. THE LIVE ONES MOVE If you live some distance from town, it is especially worth while to study up on advertised articles before making your purchases. Advertised goods are always the best class of goods. The merchants who advertise are the fellows who have reliable goods and want you to know it. If a merchant doesn't ad vertise it is sure that he ia not very progressive. The merchant who ad vertises is less liable to sell you shelf worn articles, and besides he has less to say about the business depression. He is too busy to complain. WHEAT IS MONEY The present high price of wheat has greatly increased the profit to be derived from any process that will increase the yield per acre. It has been found, for '"example, that drilling wheat willjincrease. the yield as much as 7 bushels per acre. With wheat at 70 cents per bushel the increased yield is worth $5 per acre. Harrowing the ground will cause the yield to be doubled under some conditions. This year "offers many opportunities for the farmer. He should grasp them all. Iehigh CEMENT Maks Your Farm Expenx-Prvo e LOOK TO THE HARVEST NOW The outlook for a shortage of all food products should induce the farmers to increase the output from the farm to the fullest extent. While prices are high at present, they will be higher, no doubt, be cause the warring nations must ne cessarialy be short on production and long on consumption. Every farmer should buy the. best of seed, give his crops the best pos sible care, and raise all the meat animals possible for there is an opportunity that has never before been equaled for good prices and strong markets. There should be no idle acres, no loafing animals on the farm this year. YET ANOTHER Volume 1 number 1 of the Jeff erson County Searchlight is pn our desk. The home of the new sheet is Metolious, and the editor is Dr. Bailey Kay Leach. It is a breezy little sheet and one that will no doubt do things for the town. THE SQUAWMAN On Tuesday, April 27, the Lyric will present the stage success "The Squawman," with Dustin Farnum appearing in the leading role. . This motion picture production is in six parts, running about one and one half hours on the screen. Many thousand feet of sensational film were completed high in the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, New Mexi co, Colorado and Utah, the company numbering more than three score of actors prducing the picture at an expense of more than $50,000 Reserved seats at 25 cents are now on sale for this attraction at the Lyric. This will be the last of the famous player production to be shown at the Lyric for the pres ent at least, the lack of patronage not warranting their continuance.
