A former * 1**’ * teacher bought a little uoru-out farm oi thirty odd acres near York Pennsylvania a few years ago, planted twelve acres of peaches ai <1 trucked the rest. In 1907 he markete I $1,800 worth of peaches; 1908 $2,200 worth, and 1909 about $2,000 worth, besides many hun­ dreds of dollars* worth of truck. Another raised a family of eleven children to manhood and woman­ hood, and never reared less tlun $1,000 in any one of the last 15 years —and lie had but eleven acres. He grew vegetables, asparagus an I berries. Hundreds of cases might l>e found where worn-out Eastern farms, cultivated with money and brains, easily yield two to three hundred dollars per acre.” This is a complete answer to many of those vho cannot see where some ot those who have lately purchased small tracts of land in this county will gel off. These people are all farmers, gardeners anti fruit grower:; and have learned to grow two blades of grass where one grew before king prior to the time they came here. They have the push, skill anti knowledge, and will build on their small holdings fortunes where no few of the old timers went to the wall because they became "land poor." The latter went into pur­ chasing land and produced not enough to pay the taxes upon it and the sheriff took it to satisfy mort gages and pay taxes The sheriff has not seized a single farm in thi- county since it was organized, it can be safely said, where the farmei did not buy more than he could manage or where he neglected and failed to faun properly what he had There is n » doubt about the productiveness of the soil and the climate is ideal to promote good crops; but farming is like anything else. To succeed in anything we undertake we must first know some­ thing about it, we must have knowledge of our capacity and «»• must have energy to make the mate go in more senses than one. Other wise we fail, as did others before us while many flourish and are pros perous who have qualifications .»e are sadly lacking.—Umpqua Valley News.
