THE POLK COUNTY OBSERVER, TUESDAY, HOVgamiiK E, 1D1B. MR. FISHER ENTHUSES WOULD AWAKEN INTEREST IN BOOSTER ORGANIZATIONS. The Sunset Land, of. Opportunity L, Ileeds Additional seiners irom Middle Western States. Words that might well be heeded by his hearers were those uttered be fore a gathering or uaiias ousiness men last Wednesday evening by A. L. Fisher of Albany. There is, as Mr. Fisher said, great opportunity for the development of the great la tent resources by bringing to the country those of the over-crowded eastern communities who would give to the country the energy that it needs. One of the recognized re quirements here in Oregon is an in fusion of new blood, thereby effecting the salvation of a land of untold promise and untouched resources. "To my mind nature has set the table," said Mr. Fisher. "The bride groom is at the altar, the feast is prepared, but the bride cometh not. In this case the bride is the eastern homeseeker. He of the wind swept plain, spat on by blizzards; he and his crops frizzled, but too often by the summer heat. It is to such that the land of which I speak, twixt sea and the towering Cascade slopes, of fers a home where every prospect (brightens, and all fruit, flowers, grains and grasses each twelvemonth are born and grown and ripen with a fruitfulness unknown to the east. To these people this beautiful valley will jbring not care and dread, but only such a tempering heat as will bring their fruits, grains and flowers to their ap pointed and best maturity, and to each crop year its maximum of pro ductiveness. Surely this valley is su perlatively gifted and blessed by na ture. Mountain, hill and vale, forest and prairie intermixed, streams and springs and rills, orchards, wheat and pasture; rain in gentle showers, never the flood followed by the fierce heat and drought of the east. Well may it be likened to the land of the blessed. "If the millions of the teeming, over-crowded east but knew of this section of country such an incoming nf linmaaaalrnra WOllId Set in SS WOUld of its quickness speedily populate this most favored 01 an uncie oam s uu ,;a V.aatorn cnnital. eastern set tiers we need them and they need us, and what are we doing to get v,m WViDf. om vnil ffflinff to do about it?

The animals of the farm should be regarded as living factories that are aAninninnalv pnnvprtiiur their feed in to products useful to man, says an exchange. A tact ot a great econom ic ininnrtnn, is that a large Dart of the food they consume is of such character that humans cannot direct lv ntiliM it themselves. Amonsr the products yielded by the farm animals are not only articles of human diet, such as meat, milk and eggs, but also siih mjitprijtla as wool, mohair and hides, which are needed for clothing and other purposes, Anotner proauci of greater aggregate money value than any one of these is the wo k performed by horses and other draft animals. Altogether, the farm ani mals of the United States yield each year products worth over $5,000,000, 000, a sum nearly as great as the value of all the crops annually nar tmIhI nn nnr farms. As the population of our country becomes more dense, most naturally and properly a small portion of the crops raised will be fed to animals and a larger part consumed directly Kv hitman. Thii rhancre must come with the increased demand for human food, since even high-producing am mnia oa ah n finnvarf nnlv a Yinrt of She feed the' eat MntO food for pur consumption. Accordingly, with mi innr-oasinc nnnn 1 a ti nn . wa should expect the census statistics to show nnmher of animals on our farms was failing in some degree to keep paee with the increase in peo ple...

Lured by the high prices winch Viovo ruled for erain and other crops in recent years, many farmers all ov er the country have sold their, crops for cash, rather than following the wiser plan or marKeting a portion thereby maintaining a balanced agri culture, seldom nave tney reanzeu that with every ton of grain thus sold they are removing from their farms $7 to $8 worth of fertility.
