Since tho fanner of the United States is tho food producer tor a good share of tho world, tho granting of cheaper credit to tho farmer for the purpose of enlarging his opportunities ar.d cheapening tho cunt of hl:i produc tion Is likely to liave an important part In tho solution of tho groat cost of living problem, Tho records of tho United States census offico show a constantly in creasing trend toward tho cities.

United States It will have accom plished a great deal toward putting Amertcau agriculture on a more sub stantial basis. More than halt of the farms of the United Stages are now in the hands of tonants. The tenant is a transient farmer and the temporary nature of his operations prevents him from op erating at maximum capacity. Short leases nutko it out of tho question for tenants to bo largo meat pro ducers. The tenant Is usually a grain farmer, nnd in many sections of the country, a single cropper. He is en gaged in hauling the fertility of his landlord's soil to market. The farm owner conserves the fer tility of his soil by marketing his crop through hts live stock and re turning the fertility to the land. A nation of land owners means a nation with a constantly increasing capacity to produce food for Its people. A reduction of farm tenantry and a substitution of a class of land own ers means Improved social conditions In the country and a more perma nent form of country llfo.

Thai the action of the legislature in passing the bill fixing the terms of court In Deschutes county, and the signing of the measure by the gover nor, constitutes a . tacit recognition of the existence of the county, was the declaration of H. H. DeArmond, district attorney, this morning. "By passing a law that affects the coun ty, the legislature has taken official cognizance of our existence," be stated. Mr. DeArmond was not of the opin ion that the passage of the measure would necessarily put a stop to the quo warranto proceedings now in circuit court, but asserted that the recognition accorded the county could not but have an Important In fluence in determining the decision of the supreme court, should the case be carried up to that tribunal. "The measure constitutes an Important obstacle In the way of the anti-dl-visionisu," was his opinion. New Law to lie Final. The district attorney stated that the other measure pending in the legislature, "creating the county of Deschutes," would effectually put a slop to all questioning of the au thority of the new county to do bus iness as a municipal corporation,, and would make further bearings in the quo warranto proceedings unneces sary. He said that if it were not for this, however, the matter would as suredly have to be threshed out in the supreme court, as the attorneys for the county contend that the cir cuit court lacks Jurisdiction in the case. At yet no opinion has been handed down by Judge Duffy in regard to the demurrer to the complaint filed Saturday by Mr. DeArmond and Ver non A. Forbes. 40-ACRE TRACT TO BE PUT ON THE MARKET J. A.
