In thla eass the Oregon growers not only lost the benefit of the fcrowtn of the anlmala. but paid two freight rates on Oregon cattle." This waa one of the startling argn- menta presented yesterday by 1. N. Teal when he addreaaed a number of repreaenutlre bualneaa men at luncheon at the Commercial club, on the neceealty for greater agricultural dareloproent rti the state of Oregon, and particular ly in the threa eastern Oregon counUea, Gilliam, Morrow and (Sherman. And further Mr. Teal aald that whan on a tour of theae three counties a few days 10 he found that the people there were paying tt.Si a hundred Weight for potatoea, buying egga anj butter, cream and cheeae and even Im porting poultry. Oue Crop" Country "What do you thlnk of a farming community that haa to buy lta potatoea, 4ga and buttarT" the speaker ex claimed. "That Is whst we find In a One crop country. In those counties the crop Is wheat From my observattona thla la wholly unnecessary and certain ly undesirable. Think of a farming community Importing potatoea, bacon, egrs and other farm products. The first change to bring about la to secure the production of diversified crops. I knew fruit, potatoea, vege tables and other products of agriculture can be grown, llogi should be raised in , larjce numbers. Some wsy must be J found to bring about this change. TtioKo Ideas must be worked out by pructlml demonstrations." I Mr. Ten! elated that In his opinion nowhere In Oregon can good land be purchased as cheaply as In those three countleu, ordinary land selling from $16 to 30 per acre; uncultivated land for much less. Much of It, he explained. Is li Id in large holdings, In which he said lies another problem to be, solved. Dry Terming Kathode, He said dry farming methoda will largely have to be employed owing to the occasional lack of precipitation, but dry farming. It haa been demonatra ' ted will bring excellent reaulta If proper ly followed. , "Breaking up the land Into smaller holdings and securing aettlera la a hard problem," continued Mr. Teal, "and one In which we all must aid. The people now living In those counties must face the heaviest part of the work, the rail- roada will do their share and our 1 commerlcal organisations must aid. ; "Today I don't really know what they would do If 600 families would land In Condon. The land Is there of j course, but to locate them la another matter. What aelf respecting man wanta ' to take a family where on 20,000 acres Mere are five houses; no social life, lit- j , tie schooling, living alone with miles ' between nelghbora and raising or try- in 10 nun woui one year mier an other. Thla la the condition of Bchut ler Flat In Gilliam county I aaw thousands of acres under fence but not tilled. I saw them plowing la clouds of dust where every furrow now plowed means a two year backset On the ether hand I saw well bred fat hogs, good vegetable garden and comfortable homes. Here Is a problem well worthy f our attention. Jrrodnoera Veedsd. "Those three counties are typical of a very considerable area In the state and as they are geographically and commercially tributary to thla city, , from a selfish If no higher motive should hart a deep? interest In' their development . . ; f. ?r 1 ' -It Ja aalomatlt that a city's! per manent prosperity - depends npon that of the produolng sections, the country.

With Mr. Teal . he agreed that the big wheat farms must give room to smaller farms. ' diversified farming and rotation of cropa. He said that la Europe no successful farmer thinks of repeating one crop oftener than once In aeven yeara. " ' C S. Jaokson aald one way to hastea ths outtlng up of the big holdings. Into smaller productive farms Is to Improve me system or taxation ao that the settler who improves his land la not called upon to pay a penalty for his im provements, but that Instead .the Den sity be placed against ths land owner I who reaches out for all the' area he can ret with' a -view of profiting, by enchaneed land , values as demand in creases.

"The various municipalities of this province have al ready act aalde 1230,000 for road build ing during the year Jll. "Under this system the amount of money raised In any ons municipality would be spent on the roada within that district and not devoted to any other purpose, unless ss a- grant authorised by the municipality for the! construc tion of Its share of some maln-trafflo road. "The Winnipeg Automobile club has taken a great Interest in the construc tion of roads throughoat ths province.
