The eit ic woro Duluth, M inno- Botn nnd Dolnvnn, Wisconsin. Duluth had grown to be n oily by tttking toll of the grain and iron ore that passed through it, nnd was trans ferred from rail to ship, and from tho timber that covered the hills and plains of its vicinity, it had no agriculture and 110 industries. Its bleak hillside were popularly re garded as worthless, except for timber purposes. A11 experimental farm, cleared for summer resorts, demonstrated that the land would produce crops if proper- iy mriiicu, upon tne Knowledge tnus gained, a campaign was planned and carried out by the Duluth Commercial club to develop the untouched agricultural resources of the surrounding country. An expert was engaged and the work begun. The biggest problem was that of clearing the land. The old stumps and the new second growth cost nearly 30 an aero to remove. Only intensive cultivation, market gar dening, and dairy farming under tho most modern scien tific conditions, could be made profitable on bind as ex pensive as this. The railroads terminating at Duluth woro interested njid induced to undertake the intelligent development of Agricultural resources. Land grants were subdivided into small farms, so arranged that the houses, as built, form community greups: and, from each community of this kind, constructing a good road to the nearest railroad sta tion. No lands are sold until the road is built and a low price is asked, a little down and the balance in yearly pay ments extending over ten years. Local companies clear' land adjoining the city which enable market gardeners to pay good prices nnd'inako a profit. Clubs among the farmers were organized to co operate with the city clubs to work for good roatjs, school system and immigration. School children tire furnished free garden seeds for planting and "harvest home" festi vals provide prizes for garden products. After five years of effort, a co-operative produce ware- nuuse. was erected in umutii to supply retailers as com mission houses do. A "potato special' is operated tlirouidi. out the fall by tho railroad, calling for produce tit even tration. Gradually the agricultural resources are beinlr developed, and an agricultural population added. Dclavnu, Wisconsin is described as a cit v of 2;100 popu lation, with but one industry a knitting factorv. A few years ago, the business men realized that tho imvii w..ivt losing ground, Grass grew in the streets, roads were poor and trade growing less. So despito ti protesting minority, taxes were quadrupled, old debts paid off, new schools erected, sewers, water works and electric light plants in stalled, streets paved and roads in the adjoining countrv improved for miles about. New stores renlaccd tho nWI and a systematic effort was made to secure farm trade. A "Delavan week," during which special bargains were c'ffered by till the stores, and free entertainment provided . iijl- uyeiit Mouse ior visiting iarmers and tlieir families, proved so successful that it has become an annual winter affair. Farmers' institutes and poultry shows were organ ized, concerts, theatrical entertainments, and winter lec ture courses were arranged for, and special inducements were held out to farm folk to attend them. Hascball games and field carnivals were the attractions for the warmer months, A bequest by a wealthy citizen for a free librarv was trebled by popular subscription, and the farmers fam ilies hold nearly one-third of the membership cards. A "rural survey" was made to determine the extent of community influence as ti basis for further efforts. Eight phases of the community interest were selected as indices ot the relations between the village and the farm. Thev were tho dry goods store, tho grocerv store, the news papers, the churches, the high school, 'the public librarv, the banks, and the milk factory. A map was prepared that showed everv farm house within five miles of Delavan. Every house was then check ed off on the map in accordance with its relations to Del nvan m one or another of these eight connections.

Step were immediately taken to close the gaps indicat ed by the map and unite the isolated farmers in community of interest relations with the city. A "hitch barn" was erected for the use of the visiting farmers. Motor truck deliveries were arranged by the merchants association, and special automobile visits hy the city people united them still more closely. Efforts like this must be made by Medford. The people oj the city must co-operate and secure the fuller develop ment of hinds and must unite the country closer to the citv in trade and the co-operative efforts must.be systematic nnd scientific.' ' The first problem that awaits solving is the securing of irrigation for the entire valley.

Tho city itself is large enough. It hs inmrnvmmmfu enough, and buildings enough. The energy and capital of io jiuujjii; Human iiureaner no devoted to developing the adjacent country not to inflating values and platting townsites. Medford has naturally a far richer territory in an agri cultural vrny than Duluth will over have, and a far more iavorable clime. She has a greater tributary territory, far richer natural resources, nnd a much finer city, than Delavan will ever have, and it is up to Medford to ,l,"u " u" u"cwkich, aim initiative m solving its prop J loins ns Duluth and Delavan are solving theirs.

It confirms what The Oregnnlnit has long suspected that the (lardeu of Hden was located In the country sur rounding Medford nnd Ornnts Pass, In Southern Oregon. Do not the Scriptures say: "And Cain went out from the presence of the lord and dwelt In the land of Nod, on the east of Kden?" Is not tho Kla math country on ,the east of the llogue river valley?
