How Oregon plans to solve the prob lem of permanent land settlement and at the same time provide fertile acres or-men discharged from the service of the United Slates is embodied in House bill No. J 93. introduced by Represen tative Sheldon. The bill is the concrete result of the investigations of the hon orary commission on land settlement. Whitney L. Boise, member of the commission, in reviewing the progress made, expresses the certainty that the measure, if enacted, will afford solu tion of the state's land settlement di lemma. "About a year ago," said Mr. Boise, as a. result of investigations previously made by the Oregon development bu reau of the Portland Chamber of Com merce, Governor Withycombe appointed an . honorary commission on land set tlement, consisting of Thomas B. Kay, Emery Olmstead. O. M. Clark, J. L. Farrell, William Ilanley. Charles T. Early and myself, to carry on these Investigations and to recommend some plan, state-wide in scope, that might be presented to this 30th legislative assembly. "Governor Withycombe, having de voted the best part of his life to Oregon development, took a deep interest in land settlement problems and, with the assistance of this commission, hoped to inaugurate a policy that would bring about better results than had hereto fore been accomplished. Advrtfnlnic System Failure. "'The commission was advised in ad vance by j;r. Fiirrell. of the O.-W. R. & N. Company; Mr. Oilman, of the North Bank system, and Mr. Scott, of the Southern Pacific Company, that pre vious efforts to gain settlers, through community advertising. In which' the railroads had joined, as the largest financial contributors, had been a fail ure, for the reason that practically all the booklets printed and distributed contained highly colored pictures of apples and pears on the covers and nearly all the reading matter was de voted to those subjects, showing the enormous profits realized in horticul ture. "While the facts stated were true, these exceptional cases were largely due, at first, to fancy prices paid for these products, before the output was large, and second, the profits were realized by men who thoroughly under etood the business; a business requiring Bpeclal training and knowledge, differ ent from ordinary farming methods, which the new settler knew nothing .bout. Consequently he made a failure and then blamed the railroads for the loss of his money. "It was generally agreed that we wanted the better farming methods developed along staple lines, which the prospective settler understood and for which Oregon land and climatic condi tions were well adapted and certainly held out much hope and promise. Guidance Given Settler. The commission immediately turned to the Oregon Agricultural College for advice. President Kerr assigned Profes sor H. D. Scudder, chief of the bureau of farm management, to the task of preparing the plans for a one-family farm-home establishment, along plain, staple farming lines, with mod ern sanitary conditions about the house; the latest improvements in all farm buildings and machinery connected therewith; a complete plan for working the same; the kind of crops to grow, with proper rotation; the kind and duality of stock to handle and to pro vide all the advice and information nec essary to direct the new settler in man aging his farm as a going business. "The definite intention was to utilize and combine in this farm unit all the Information and data which the De partment of Agriculture and agricul tural colleges had been gathering with their many years of experimentation on their different demonstration farms, but which had never been combined in prac tical shape on any one typical farm init. "The commission realized that if this plan was carried out. it would bring many results which the state had long been looking for, but so far not at- tained, such as: Commission's Goal Outlined. "First Providing better living condi tions, which the Roosevelt commission found was the principal reason people were leaving farm life for the city. "Second That a farm where one fam ny could do all the work would avoid farm labor difficulties. Where outside help is necessary financial success Beems to be very uncertain. "Third The putting into operation of a. unit which would first make a sue values. "The question of the uncertainty of land values is best illustrated by a sur vey of 100 farms, made by the Oregon Agricultural College around Carlton in Yamhill County, the heart of the Wil lamette Valley, with the following re sult: "First Twenty of the farmers, who were closely following the advice of the college as td rotation and proper han dling of their farms,, were earning. In addition to a good farm wage, more than 25 per cent on the fair value of their farms. . "Second Fifty, who were partially following the same plan, were making a fair wage and earning a small inter est on their investments. "Third Thirty were actually losing money. The latter were still following the old method of continuous cropping of their lands with wheat, oats and bar ley, without any seeding of clover or vetch to return the nitrogen to the abused, but not worn out soils. High Values Preferred. "The soil, market, climatic and road conditions of these 100 farms were al most identical.

"The late James J. Hill in his many visits to .Oregon would always say, We cannot bring you any more settlers because you ask too much for your farm lands. They do not earn interest on what you ask for them.' And Presi dent Sproule, of the Southern Pacific, has said the same thing. "The commission earnestly feels that it is manifestly to the best interests of the state to have high, rather than low priced lands. The greater our just, tax able wealth, the more money can be raised on easy assessment for schools. good roads, and all other facilities that make country life attractive. 'The model farms as planned by successful agricultural operators will demonstrate the reasonableness of land values in different parts of the state and thus be a great aid to those making farm loans and to those seeking loans as well as to the buyer and seller. When the one-family farmhouse is a demonstrated success, we will have a happy rural home-owning population. the backbone and best asset or any commonwealth, instead or a 101 01 im poverished and dissatisfied renters ana farm labor class tnat tenas lowara I. W. W. and Bolshevism. Plana I.ald Before Mr. Ume. 'The original plans, prepared by Professor Scudder, seemed so attrac tive and so practical that Governor Withycombe and the Land Settlement Commission requested Chairman Boise to go to Washington with Mr. Scudder to present the plans to tne uepartmeni of Agriculture and tp Secretary Lane. of the Department of the Interior. Mr. Lane had suggested farm homes for re turned soldiers and was anxious to se cure federal legislation along con structive land settlement lines. The Portland Chamber of Commerce fi nanced this trip for the good of the state at large. 1 The Department of Agriculture was high in their praise of Professor Scud der's plans and frankly admitted that the idea of combining in a single busi ness farm unit all the results of their years of teaching and experience was a new and admirable one. ana was anx ious to see it put into practical opera tion. While many foreign countries had devoted large appropriations and thought to farm settlement by pur chasing large tracts of land and di viding them into smaller units, which were sold to settlers on long amortiza tion payments, with some money also for stock and farm improvements, they had never presented a farm manage ment plan inconnection with such set tlement. Farm Management Essential. The Department of Agriculture as serted that whenever the United States attempted a land settlement plan the farm management idea should be added to it. Secretary Lane was also much In terested and very complimentary to Professor Scudder on his plans. Whether Congress will pass Secre tary Lane's bill yet remains to be seen. "The ideas of the Oregon Land settle ment Commission, however, are now eTnbodied in Oregon House bill 193 in troduced by Representative Sheldon. It provides for farm homes for soldiers, sailors and marines, giving them the preference and then for other qualified settlers as well, it proviaes tor co-op eration with the United States, in case Secretary Lane's bill is passed. If it does not pass and Mr Sheldon s bill be comes a law, a lair start can oe maae in Oregon, in the next two years, and these typical farms can be established iij every county in tne state. "The appropriation asked for Is to become a revolving fund and forever, to remain intact. By good management it should actually increase. "The idea of the commission is to sell going farms, fully equipped, ja.t a price that would cover all cost of establish ment and the incidental expenses con nected therewith. These farms, if suc cessfully handled, will be worth much more than the actual cash invested therein." ' the structure Is $200,000, the alumnae agreeing to raise $100,000. A measure appropriating another 100,000 is now before the. Oregon Legislature. The need of the building, say the alumnae, has been so long pending that the present session of the Legis lature must not pass into history with out action on the measure. Those sponsoring the project say that, if the $100,000 appropriation is passed. It is altogether likely that actual construc tion can begin In a few weeks, thus affording employment to many skilled workmen and discharged soldiers. Facilities Are Keeded. Gifts to the fund are especially sought In the form of war stamps and 1 iberty bonds, thus aiding the Nation. as well as the state. During the war. It Is pointed out, the university by care ful management operated within Its limited income, while many state in stitutions failed to do so. The spon sors argue that this ought to be con sidered now, and that the gift offering of $100,000 which the v omen League of the university is certain it can raise should be met with an equal amount from the state. The movement was started in 1913 by Miss JL Ruth Guppy. dean of women at the university, for the reason that there was a total lack of buildings and facilities for women students. The first $100 came from Oregon alumnae residing in Portland. To the end that the work might be carried on the Women's Leugue of the university was organized. In 191o Mrs. George Gerlinger. of Dallas and Portland, a regent of the university, undertook to further the cause. bKice then the fund has grown steadily, until it -new amounts to $20,- 552.34. Of this amount over $10,000 has been paid In. and is invested in liberty bonds. The donors are students, alumni women's clubs and friends of the unl versity. until the Legislature of 1917 gave RETIRED BUSINESS MAX. NOW. DEAD. BOR.M IN IRELAND.
