AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES
We have printed on our stationery and have said
several times in our columns that we believe we have
the "Richest Valley in the World." We have beer
severely criticised for so doing----- Nevertheless, w(
still believe we have that kind of a valley, and all thi
criticism in the world won’t change that belief.
We have used the expression alluding to the mm
eral deposits all around us, because there are, perhaps
more fertile valleys for agricultural purposes than
the Illinois Valley, but one will travel far and long to
find a more agreeable climate where everything but
citrus fruits grow and in abundance.
With recent developments there appears a very
good chance to conserve our water supplv and when
and if this is done and we can irrigate all the avail
able tillable land, we will .yet prove to the world that
speaking generally, both of agriculture and mineral
possibilities, we have the "Richest Valiev in the
World.”
It does not take much of a dreamer to visualize
what a garden this valley would be if plenty of water
was available. There are two things lacking to make
the valley what we dream for it—Transportation and
a market. Neither a burden that cannot be overcome.
With a railroad in the offing and willing minds that
will look with favor on a co-op organization, these ad
verse conditions can be overcome.
We are, so to speak, "the last frontier,” the least
developed section of the state. What a wonderful
opportunity is here for men of vision to make a valley
of contented people, in a delightful climate, with the
best chance in the world to make a living, and more
than anything else a HOME. Where can one find a
place in the civilized world more beautiful to make a
HOME than in the Illinois Valley.
Possibilities are yearning at us to sieze them, and
we believe the New Year will see a lot of them taken
advantage of and development that we little dream
of take form and gradually come into being. These
possibilities are ours. We don’t have to ask for them.
They an* here. We only have to see them and then
act.
We have a dream of a beautiful, fertile valley, sur
rounded with the riches of the world’s most precious
metals. What more can one ask? We still say we
have the "Richest Valley in the World," and the world
is soon coming to our doorstep to see it.

POISON PROPAGANDA
The world is full of scandal, poison propagandists.
We get it all the way from the great nation’s diplo
mats down to the small town “wise guy" who imag
ines himself quite some feller’.
The world is full of it all, so we must not take too
much stock of the local "yokel" who, in his own mind,
is the smartest boy in town.
We are not immune from the propagandist who
takes this story or that and goes the rounds with
what Tom, Dick and Harry are doing or propose to
do and if we don’t do this or that dire circumstances
will follow. Men of vision have done a great .job in
building Cave City. Men of vision will continue to
build a greater Cave City, the propagandist notwith
standing.
The "wise guy" who goes from this person to that
and tells his story, perhaps forgets when the story is
repeated several times it gets larger each time, and
when the story finally gets back to the originator, he
swells up like a poisoned toad and thinks, my, what a
"wise guy" am I!
A "wise guy" perhaps—Bm a common tattler to
us. Honest men nave started a job. and others are
coming in to help them do it in an honest way. Listen
io the "tattler" if you must, but use the good, common
:4*nse God gave you and let's build a beautiful place in
a beautiful valley with constructive thoughts.
