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

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.

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.
