In that tiny jiromolion was leiliiuiitrl.y regarded as !I0 per cent prom ise and ten per cent pcrl'onmince, ami highly colored pamphlets, painting- impossible 1'aiiidises, were sent by the car load all over the country. That day has passed, although some people don't seem to realize it. As a professional publicity man said at a meeting in Spokane, the other day: "The Pacific Northwest is just recovering from the ef fects of apropo;:andn of romantic fiction. Thousand dollar an acre profits, without work, harvesting dollar bills between the trees, with out an overhead, have played out. Even promoters have come to realize honesty IS the best policy, that to keep within hailing distance of the truth is not only good morals, but the best business. The preju dice in the east, against the west's so-called booster literature, can't be overcome in a day, 'but conversion is gaining ground, and it is gaining ground because the publicity men as a whole, arc cutting out the flim flam and getting down to solid facts." That is absolutely true. Octling settlers under false pretenses is the poorest sort of business. For not only is the individual settler dis satisfied and disgruntled, bill be aids as a culture ground for the itinerant knocker. and the job of (earing down is always easier than the task of building up. All of which is pertinent to the suggestion Hint the local press print no reports of frost damage. Eoeal ranchers and officials of the Fruit (irowcr's League went to considerable lengths to secure it weather forecaster here to aid in fighting the frost menace. The en tire Oregon delegation in Washington was called in to assist, ami the negotiations and results were published broad cast. This service was secured through government aid, because an im portant part of the federal service to farmers, is protecting crops, reporting crop damns', and Riving the country an accurate view of the general crop situation, from wheat to potatoes and from cabbages to fruit- It seems rather absurd under the circumstances to print no results of this service. It. seems eipmlly ubsui'd to pretend frost here can do no damage. This paper has been careful to print no opinions of its own. It has scrupulously depended upon the reports of Forecaster Young on one hand, and County Agent ("ate on the other. Hut our critics apparently maintain, that either we should print nothing, or only print what they like Ui read. Well, when the truth can't be told about this valley without injury when this paper can't print the facts about the conditions in this' val ley from official sources without harm, then we shall quit printing a newspaper and turn our attention to railroad folders and colored pain phlefs. As we have stated editorially, we have no fear of the 11)21 crop, the Valley could lose !)() per cent of its blossoms and still have a bumper, and to the anvil chorus we give the merry "IIa Ha," but we m-e not going to suppress reports of Forecaster 'Young1 and County Agent Cate, as long as those officials are good enough to supply them.
