FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 19H WEEKLY ROGUE RIVER COURIER r.iiib luuni ' ; t i i 1 II IIHIII i DIVERSIFIED FARMING. Furnished by the Wholesale Market Exchange, H. M. Axtell & Co. It was Thanksgiving day, and din ner, as often Is the case on these ape cbl occasions, was late. Two boys' belts became unusually loose, so they made a raid on the puntry. They had barely tightened the belts from the inside, when the call came for din ner. Tbey tucked their napkins un der their chins, and then one exclaim ed: "Oh gee, bore's the opportunity of a whole year and we are full of prunes." Now there Is nothing wrong about prunes or apples or even pears, In the right proportion at the proper time, but' It Is well to remem ber that even mashed potatoes and turkey, that's been roasted so much, are at times more In demand than quite so many prunes or other fruit, and It's well sometimes to figure on what's coming before fllllug up too much on any one thing so you haven't room for anything else. Only a few years ago the farmers of the Willamette valley and parts of Washington were like the boys full of prunes, then again in a short while they were foaming over with hops Before that It was wheat from oix end of the valley to the other. At other times it has been spuds, from one extreme it has been to an other. Is It not the history of every new country that first comes cattle graz ing, later as the land la cleared, oth er stock follow, and large crops are raised from the first tilling of the soil. After this development conies Increased population with dividing and subdividing of the larger tracts of land. With more people diversi fied and intensified farming follows with greater production. We hold that Oregon would now be much farther along in its develop ment if no man had been allowed to homestead, more than forty acres In stead of three hundred and twenty acres as was in most cases included in the one preemptions and home steads. It la only the last few years that these pioneers have quit being land poor and are selling off these large holdings and pn:.ilttlng them to be divided Into many small homes. These little places are In turn being cleared and put Into a high state of cultivation.

While not among the first five, we wish to speak of No. 29 from Gold Hill, and 69' of Three Pines, as being among the most promising of the contestants; both have made remarkable gains this week, and are going to be heard from all the time if indications don't all fail.
