' T , Displays Will Be Unfolded Xdxa Oreat Panorama for Benefit of Sturdy Man and Woman. One of the greatest benefits of the land products division of the Manu facturers' and Land Products show, which opens this week at the Armory, will be the Impetus It gives toward decided city people to make their homes and living on the soil, accord ing to C. C. Chapman of the Portland Commercial association. With millions of acres of tillable land available in all sections of the state, he says, Oregon people who come searching for a living and a home in the city are overlooking op portunities, vast and plentiful in the country. There re thousands of people In Portland, alone, he declared yesterday who are, by-temperament and training, fitted ' for farming. Ana inese seir-same people now have a foreman for a boss -when they should have nobody short of Mother Nature, herself," he exclaimed. Xand Xs Calling' Them. "There are 25,000 people in Portland today," he said, "who should not be here. They should bo making homes in the country, where they would grow Independent, and have children grow up in wholesome surroundings. Those people are not our near successes or failures. They are the sturdy, stick on-the-job kfnd of people. As for our failures they will and should stay in the city. They are part of the burden which large communities carry. At the show, people will be able to see the state at a glance. There will be exhibits from every section and corner of the commonwealth- Wheat from the eastern part of Ore gon, berries from the valleys of the western slope, grasses and fruits from the orchard districts, and men from the several sections on hand to tell of local conditions and explain how re sults are brought about. A definite movement shapes itself slowly and results also are not ar rived at in a minute. That is why the Land Products show cannot be figured on a basis of immediate re turns. . .Will Point way. "Its sole purpose will be to help point the way to the land for many people who need such sign posts to guide them toward Independence. The country does not need nor is it looking for inexperienced city bred folks to farm it. Such people don't know the first rules about the wonderful industry and for this reason they would fail. But there are others 25,000 of them in Portland alone who hav the ability to operate farms, and many of them do not know how to buy or where, for the reason that the op portunity to study conditions have not been afforded them. For them the land products display will go far toward giving them the needed op portunity. "In the heart of virtually every man Is a conscious or unconscious longing to live near nature. The fact that life In cities is highly tinctured with artificiality has been uttered so otten that the statement is a platitude. But it is true, and also it is true that the stress and strain of such life irri tates many who, not knowing that they really desire country life, cling to the smoky towns and little jobs instead of looking for the one they are fitted for and ought to fill. Great Cnanca Awaits. "Oregon has 4,000,000 acres of land available for farming, "The second third Is covered with merchantable timber and ultimately a 1 large part of it will be requisitioned ; for home and small ranches. The re- ; malnder consists of cut over lands and . brush lands and other privately owned 1 property which is lying idle. And all j of the 20.000,000 acres is evenly dls- j tributed throughout Oregon. I "The man who Is looking for a par- j ticularly kind of farming land, in short, will not have to look far. Land j beckons from every hand. "T" V. r - 1 ...... . n Mn,,nulna A 1 wonderfully productive inland empire j the granary of the west. Wheat, I oats and barley flourishes. And in , this regard I might add that there j will be displayed at the show samples ! of what kind of wheat grows on the 'homestead lands," at an altitude of , 5000 feet. It has been said that wheat will not grow on these lands where the rainfall averages only f rom , 8 . to 10 inches per year. And yet from 12 to 18 bushels of wheat is harvested to the acre. Many Varieties Shown. H"he coast will be represented by exhibits of berries, and root crops, ganging from potatoes to beets, gar den truck and grasses among other things. Willamette valley squash will vie with Columbia river watermelons, and the fruits, prunes and hops of the western portion of the state will rival for admiration the big apples of Hood River and of southern Oregon. "Dry farmers and those from the ir rigated districts will show how the lands once characterized as desert make them wealthy. "But through it all, those who are not fit to take on the burden of de veloping rural Oregon, will not be en couraged to attempt it. That is ex actly what the products show is not for. ' "A man will not be told that he can make a fortune homesteading. Instead men from the homestead districts will show him what can be accomplished. and then will be told that he should not attempt to homestead unless he has money enough to tide him over three years. It takes three years to subdue homestead lands in certain sec tions of the state. After they are once subdued the reward is there but the reward comes only when the proper kind of man and the right kind of soil get together and work together And the right kind of man is not the fel low who thinks that farming consists of planting seed then resting easy until th harvest. That kind of man will fail. The kind we want the land product show to attract and guide is he who is willing to work, who is will ing to pass by his vacation, and who has the patience to wait until finally ho wins home, wholesome surround ings, health and independence."
