ACCORDING to the United Kink census report, out of tho (it, 000,000 acres ol hind in Oregon, IKS per cent is available tor (illod crops, .'12 percent lor non-tilled agri culture ami 110 per cent is non-agricultural. Ut the total acreage ot the state, hut l per cent it under cultivation. Of the J8 per rent available for tillage, but JO per cent is utilized. Kor each acre tilled, there tire 10.: J acres available tor cultivation, and that must be tilled before Oregon shall reach development the state will ulti mately realize. In common with the rest of the state, Jackson county needs more people who will work the earth. A large per centage ol the available tumble laud ot the county is idle. A considerable portion in the heart of the valley, suitable for intensive cultivation, is either carelessly farmed or idle. All of it should be under cultivation. The problem that the valley must solve is the placing of men with small capital on small tracts secured at reas onable prices on easy terms. There are few such oppor tunities they must be provided. It we can populate the valley with a sufficient quantity of industrious small funnel's, other classes will come, as a matter of course. The great curse of the valley, as of all other sections, is the speculator, who holds land idle and prevents devel opment in order to reap an unearned profit. Speculators tie up the timber lauds and prevent manufacture. They grab the choicest areas of the valley and hold them idle. Doing nothing to develop, they retard development by those who would, if given opportunity. Some way must be found to place the man with only his' industry as capital on the idle land and let him work out his own salvation and that of the valley. This prob lem is as important as any before the public and demands a solution before the vallev can come into its own. There will always be a large percentage of idle land until some solution of the problem of bringing the man and the soil together bv eliminating the speculator is worked out.
