There are hundreds and newspaper and book relics the proper place of which is in the de partment of journalism library, which I am desirous of seeing be come a creditable one. "I should suggest that individuals having copies available for a news paper museum but wishing to retain them for the present write on them, 'After my death, this copy is to go to the department of journalism, Uni versity of Oregon, Eugene, Or.'

At no time since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden hnvA the Inhabitants of this world suffered from lack of production, but gome people have gone hun-ry trom tbe day of creation to this good hour for the lack of proper distribution. Slight variations In production have forced a change in diet and one locai Itv Iihb felt the Dlnch of want, while another surfeited, but the world as a whole has ever been a land or plenty. We now have less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth's surface under cultivation, and we not oniy have this surplus a'ea to draw on but it la unfa to estimate that In case of rtire necessity one-half the earth's population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees of the forest, gather it from wild vines and draw it from streams. No onn should become alarmed; the vL-firM will never starve. Tha nntiRiimpr has always feared that the producer would not supply him and his fright has found exprea slon on the statute books of our state.. and nations and the farmer has oeeu tn nrnrtnoe recklessly and wltn out reference to a market, and regard less of the demands of the consumer Back to the Soil. Tho dtv neonle have been urging each other to move back to the farm, but very few of them have moved.

Of this amount there 18 approximately 750,000,000 acres on the western and 1,260,000,000 acres on the pastern hemisphere, in cultivation.
