A greater acreage has been sown to grain than for many years. Prices oi all lands promise to be better than for many recent seasons. But one thing can happen into a season of famine and and. early summer rams. It no ram comes, the question will resolve itself into one of keeping the orchard alive, not of caring for bumper crops. Our biggest cloud on the horizon is lack of a cloud. The seasonal rainfall since September 1 totals only 0' inches, as against a seasonal average of 21.19 inches, a shortage of nearly 12 inches. "What makes it worse is that this phenomenally dry year follows a dry year, so there is really little moisture in the soil. The only farmers or fruitgrowers who are not worry ing arc the comparatively few who have irrigation. .It makes no difference to these whether the season is wet or dry they have their crop insurance. A few weeks ago an effort was inaugurated to form an irrigation district. It met such a storm of protest from those who need water most that it was abandoned. Many who were never known to assist any kind of a development project worked hard and aggressively against one. A committee was appointed from the farmers to initi ate some other method of securing irrigation. The Rogue River Canal company offered to extend its system, provid ing necessary acreage was secured, but so far as known no progress has been outlined, and no effort made to secure canal extensions. General apathy is in full command. Those who have tried to do something toward helping the valley save itself, wearying of the abuse and villification their efforts were received with, have quit trying to secure irrigation, as they have quit trying to secure new enterprises and indus tries, discouraged by soreheads and knockers. The Lord is evidently not to be depended upon for an unfailing and regular supply of water from the heavens. He has placed an unfailing supply in the streams, but if the people haven't energy or foresight enough to develop it, crops will continue to be an uncertainty. Xo one is going to develop it free of cost to those benefited by it. Instead of, developing and expanding, the valley has been vegetating for several veal's. Rut it cannot even vegetate without water. Yet nothing is being done at the critical time, when it must be done, to insure prosperity and avert calamity. Thirty years or more ago one of the most far-sighted of the valley's pioneers, thclatc Fred Barneburg, declared that the best jthing that could happen to the valley would be a year of drouth and famine, to wake up the people to the need of irrigation. Ilis hope is likely to be fulfilled any year. "Until it is, a majority of the land-owners will be content to raise partial crops, forego intensive cultivation, and farming and fruit growing continue an unprofitable gamble. A year of total failure would be a high price to pay for needless stupidity and ultra-conservatism, but we may have to pay it to arouse the valley to the realization of its greatest need water. NO PUBLIC CLEAN-UP DAY IN MEDFORD There will be no official clean up day in Med ford this year, as far as tho city Is concerned. .Instead, all property owners will clean up, and dlsposo of their own garbage, "with out waiting for the coming of the city garbage wagon. In the past It has been tho custom for tho city to pay for the hauling away of accumulated trash. Chief of Police HIttson served no tice this morning, that the city ordi nances covering health regulations would bo strictly enforced, and those who failed to obey it wero liable to arrest, and a fine of from $10 to C0 in the pollco court. The author ities ask that all citizens at once be gin cleaning up their backyards, al leys, etc. Several highly unsanitary barns in the residelnce district, are under observation, and unless the cwners take steps at once to better tho conditions warrants for arrest will be jsued. The pollco say that there is a dis position In certain quarters to Ignore health regulations, and that trash has been collected for months. Tho com ing of warm weather has Increased the menace of this condition. Medford Is the only city In the Ilogue river valley that has not offi cially declaied a "Clean Up" day. EQUAL LIBERTY, SAYS GRAY (Continued from Page One.) imibt be put down, that they must es tablish domination over tho nations of tho continent and that all must be subsonient to Germany. "I would rather perish or lenvo the continent altogether than live in it under such conditions. After this war the nations of Europe must be freo to live without tho interference of tho superior war lord; without the clang of armor and the sword contin ually rattled in tho scabbard. "Wo claim for ourselves and to gether with our allies, wo will secure tliat right to live and pursue our na tional existence, not in tho bhadow of Pniiihbinu supremacy, but in the light of equal liberty." to convert a prosperous year that is lack of heavy spring Squeamish peoplo and converts of the Rev, C. E, Dodge, who loft town a week ago under orders from a brother of ono of his women follow ers, wero given a thrill Saturday night by Russell Edmcades and party of boys who Journeyed to tho top of Roxy Ann and exploded skyrockets as a travesty on the prophecy, that tho mountain was to erupt, and tho val ley to. be destroyed. Strango as It may seem a number of people saw in the rockets flashing across the sky, tho fulfillment of the dire forecast, and sincerely bellovcd the appointed time had como. Some maintain that the sides of Roxy Ann have changed, though peoplo who have gazed upon tho peak for 30 years, nolo no shifting of the topog raphy. Several residents of the cast sldo of Roxy Ann wero frightened by the red lights burned. It now develops that some of the women converts of tho Rev. Dodge wero so completely under his in fluonce that they resigned their po sitions to go forth as missionaries of tho doctrines he expounded. It was at this Juncture that relatives stepped In, and the Rov. Dodge was forced to leavo town. Dodge has a family living In Seattle. Women mem bers of his local flock corresponded with his wife.
