"I--rC -v 'X 1 The Slogan editor of The Statesman has been saying and repeating' for four years that the lowest priced land in the . Vorld is in the Salem district, considering its potential pro ductive value? I.''- l; ypk j:u" i ; i v.;-.-r - 'i And proving it. . v ; I i I There, are a' number of articles in this I issue that add rtrength tothe proof of this claim; and they are written by Lien who may be considered experts in their lines. They are rorth reading ; by our home people ; in order to fortify their faith in their own country, which is a very, good thing to do; yf the prospective investor or settler in order to guide him f a ithf ully ; by. any one at all iahy where who: has, a stake in iis section Jcrmahave in the future. llu i-s ii y NctvParucul iiaim is jnade as to the low price tf the limns, this is the land of diversity; and this is the country of opportunity. y . 4 : ; ; i Salem is essentially ai fanning center; a fruit growing and gardening center. The greatest prosperity and growth of Salem will come with the greatest prosperity and growth of the surrounding country 4. : And that will come with the best possible use o;f the land ; with the production of the most valuable money crops on each acre .of the land; with intensified and diversified farmings de veloped to the limit, following the slogan. More, acres and more to the acre, and sticking everlastingly at it. . i To the prospective new comer, the writer will say that a well posted man made the assertion not long ago that there are more than 100,000 acres of land within a radius of twenty miles of Salem that, planted to the right crops, may be made to produce money returns that will -pay for the purchase price of the land each year.' f : I Thatjs a rather sweeping statement; but he proved it i And that land is surely cheap land that will pay its entire cost each year. That statement cannot be made of any simi lar pody of land in the world ; and proved. i ' And land values here will go on increasing for genera tions, when the land is put to the right uses. 'f For instancefilbert trees will increase in value for many years; so will walnut trees for hundreds if not thousands of years.. ' , ' r , f With proper rotations and renewals by f ertilization, land will never wear out. The oldest land, in the world in continu ous use is the richest land in the I world: for instance, in France and Italy and Spain. J If this issue of The Statesman shall give a little more faith in our agricultural and horticultural resources to bur riwnJiome people, and shall induce a. few people to come ;to his land of diversity and country of opportunity and be come boosters for" this great district, its mission will have been accomplished. i ; 1?4 to: i tare iana uiunis-aisiricvrr:l' -x?' v C H tuclx chi?per-laM f ound in many countries -in Africa or Russia, for instance- -: But the claim is made when potential value is taken into toasiderationia i o mzniiyfti: ;l:?yy --fy-.-v: U And the full potential, valoe of any Bmgle acre of our land not be realized till it Is rtut tn its host Hs Pnr infnCA t saver dam land here in this section is worth, perhaps $100 tn acre to raise hay on, while it is well wortrjuflOOO an acre cn which to raise celeryor onions.
