f t x , - SECTION THREE EDITORIAL, : DRAMATIC, PHOTOPLAYS EIGHT PAGES ILLUSTRATED FEATURES IN THE SCHOOLS . PORTLAND, OREGON. SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL' 1, 1917. VROQMAN PLAN FOR DOORYARD CULTURE IS . VIEWED WITH F, AVOR Assistant Secretary of Agri culture Suggests Conver sion of Waste - Lands. 'BACK TO LAND' OBSTACLE Comparisons Drawn Bttwm Small Lot ul X.arr Tmrm Utilization, of SoU, la Zrfurr aad Small A re a. 1 "To make rvery vacant city lot h farm" haa been the suggested slogan for patriotic resident of the United State, issued by Carl Vrooman, as sistant secretary of agriculture, st Washington, D. C. Ever the door yards it la advised shall be converted into fRrdsna upon which onl two or three crops- shall' be raised if possible Soma Objections have been heard that intensive cultivation of dooryards is not always practicable, particularly in city residence districts.' But the uggettorr is not without merit. Vacant land should be cou ertcd Jnto food producing areas. The vat acreage of unUlled land, profita ble neither to the owner- nor to th oonvmonwealth, that represents :un ralsed' potatoes, un raised wheat, and unraised chickens, is one of the pa thetic features of the economic system. Ootnff Back to Primitive. . This feature is probacy the hjggest obstacle to a conoerted "back to the' land movement," for it takes money to reclaim the wilderness, more than twice as much as it did before the war on account of the increased price of powder, Many small farmers are going back to the primitive method of dig ging out stumps by hand, occupying three days'.. time with its equivalent $ worth' of time, instead of the in tam wrecking of the root system that is secured by powder explosions. Sard Lw a Drawback. Another difficulty confronts the residents of many sections of Oregon in regard to increasing their herd, without inoreasing their pasture room The herds have been reduced on account of the price-of feed, farmers who had a surplus finding the sailing price of ; the Nun more attraeffs e than the prices received for their dairy pro- rtt'ets, while those who have had to buy have not found dairying or stock raising profitable at any time within the past -three years. Now-untll re-: . cently the public roads were grazed by the farmers, many raising calves : to beef age or milk age, with practical ly no other feed than what they found iri the lanes of the country., But with the passing of the herd law in many sections of the country, the food sup ply of these extra animals was cut of f, since they were not allowed at largr. baanoa of Stock Results to Jungle. i. At first the law seemed a good one, and to many who did not wish to keep their fences in repair, or to build at all, but it has been found in section Of the. country where the vegetable growth continues practically througn out the year, that the absence of stock " on the roads has resulted in a verita ble jungle extending along, the coun try rig-ht-of-way, . creating a fire menace in summer time and making it necescMLry for pedestrians to take the : dusty road, since-the paths that once1 led. by this fences have become over grown -with weeds and brush, and th appropriations for the care of roads does not include the . cutting of brusn. Miles of Sou Cola? to Waste, . However, since stock is not allowed at laurge, there are hundreds of miles Of good Oregon aoiil that could be con verted into gardens, as has been don? in astern Oregon, where one man had a potato patoh last year 10 miles tr. length, but very narrow of course. along - the railroad right of way. The privilege of using the ground was given him by: the company in ex chart kj tor keeping down the weeds, the cui - tivatlon of the ground being neces . sary anyway throughout the state in order to keep down fires.
