The following comprehensive re
view of the big wheat farms of ut
em Oregon and the practicability of
cutting them up Into imall tracts, la
from the irrlgon Irlgator and Is wor
thy of reproduction In the East Ore
gonlan: When It comes to talking about
cutting our wheat lands Into smaller
tracts there Is a great deal of dust
thrown.
As a matter of fact only an occa
sional wheat tract is suitable for di
versified farming, the great bulk of
the wheat area in the section east of
the Cascades not being suitable for
the raisng of fruit as a profitable In
dustry. It is not to be supposed that the
owners of the best wheat lands In
Wasco, Morrow and Umatilla are go
ing to dispose of a portion oi their
holdings even, and nearty every
wheat grower In that region, every
successful grower, stands ready to
snap up his neighbor's tract and add
It to his own, the moment it Is placed
on the market
As to what extent this change Is
going on, we need only mention that
In Gilliam. Sherman, Morrow and
Umatilla there are now 50 less pub
He schools than there were two years
ago. Over 50 school buildings stand
boarded up, there being no children
left in the districts.
As to how insistent the wheat
farmers are to get all of the land
adjoining them and the prices they
wiil pay, we may mention that re
cently a gentleman owning 40 acres
of land adjoining Athena concluded
he would plat It into acre-lots and
offered It for SI 50 per acre, about
S50 more thun the Immedlute land
was selling for.
He platted it, placed it on the mar
ket and sold two of the tracts, and
the following day the gentleman own
ing adjoining farms purchased the
other 38 tracts and added them to
his wheat farm.
There Is no use In inveighing
against those men. They feel that
they have the best wheat land on
earth and they want to get Just as
much of It as they can. It is only
human nature.
But in each of theso counties there
is a large area of bottom land, not
adapted to wheat growing. In mak
ing a trip up the Heppner branch not
long ago we estimated that there were
over 5000 acres of choice land along
Willow creek, and water enough to
take care of every acre of It if set
out to fruit.
Now, no man in this country
should attempt to tackle an orchard
of over 20 acres, or at the most, 40
acres. On Willow creek at present
the holdings average at least a half
socllon, and If you go there to buy 10
to 20 acres you will find you cannot
get it at anything like a reasonable
price, and yet If the owners would
give away half of their area to ac
tual settlers in three or four years the
remainder would be worth double
what it Is all worth today.
Take the 5000 acres between Lex
ington and the Columbia, and cut i
Into 20 acre tracts, and the popula
tton would be mounting up, and new
schools would be needed, In place of
closing one every few weeks.
What is true of Willow creek Is
true to a greater extent with valleys
like that of the Umatilla river, the
real bottom lands. And hundreds of
other sections offer homes for fru
gal people, If the owners would not
stand In their own light
LookatWasco. See what has been
done around Hood River, around Mo-
sler, and the possibilities ob dozens of
other valleys large and small.
Let us, then, start a crusade to get
the lands In the valley, along the
streams cut up into smaler tracts and
consider the wheat lands as some
thing we cannot get, and do not want.
for the Incoming settlers. And in
place of tiding fault with the wheat
farmers, let us try and get every acre
of these bottom lands Into fruit and
alfalfa.
A crusade along those lines will
accomplish someftilng, but a prooa.
ganda to cut up our wheat lands will
come to naught.

that his sight may be restored. The
senator has been blind since he was a

playmate deprived him of one eye and
soon afterward his remaining eye
fulled him.
Years ago he reconciled himself to
what ho considered his fate. A
Washington oculist, Dr. Wllmer, now
holds out hope to him. Since enter

has become deeply Interested In his
case.
Lust week the oculist suggested an
operation. Ho said that he was not
sure It would restore the senator's
sight, but that ho believed it would,
Finally he decided to undergo the op

Under the general plan of redisrict

be established from the existing na

duce the area of the administrative
units to an average of approximately
1,000,000 acres. This will not be pos.
slble in all cases, as Is shown by the
fact that under the plan of redisrict
