those thousand acres remains right
here in Snohomish county. Our sur
roNnding farms will give us better and
cheaper products ourselves, and we
pay the money into the pockets of our
fellow-c:tizens instead of sending it to
other agricultural communities. More
over, the production of the lumber mill
has impoverished our timber resources
just that much, while the production
of the land has enriched rather than
drawn upon our agricultural resources.
The people of Snohomish County be-
lieve that the sooner they get large
areas of these logged-off lands under
cultivation, the greater will be their
prosperity and their per capita wealth,
and it is with this idea in view that
they set to work to accomplish an OBJ
ject
1t is in the method which they in
tend to employ to accomplish this OBJ
ject that the Snohomish County Idea
is involved. They are not going about
it in any haphazard method whose
chief object is to get the settler into
the county by attractive and mislead-
ing literature telling of the immense
profits to be had from the cultivation
of the land which is waiting, of the
ideal climate where the farmer works
in his shirtsleeves in the winter time
and the roses blossom at Christmas
tide; and then, after the settler ar
rives, turn him loose on the stump
lands out in the wilderness to shift
for himself and make a living if he
can They intend to not only get the
settler to Snohomish county, but to
take care of him after he gets there.
In fact, the whole sum and substance
of the Snohomish County Idea is to
give the settler on the logged-off lands
chance.
The rich soil of the Snohomish Coun-
ty lands and the beneficient climate
Of the Puget Sound country are indeed
features which are worth while con-
sidering, and they will reward the la
Dor of the farmer who settles on these
lands abundantly, but the great diff
culties attendant upon clearing off
these logged-off lands are such that
they are likely to exhaust the fi1ancial
and physical capital of the ordinary
settler, unless he has an intelligent
comprehension of the task he is under
taking in the first place and does not
try to accomplish too much single
handed or without capital to carry him
through while his lands are not pro-
ducing. In the past, literature has
been scattered broadcast throughout
the country telling of these rich lands
and the reasonable price at which they
could be purchased, but not stating the
fact that it would cost more than
hundred per cent more than the origi-
nal investment to get the land cleared
of stumps before it could be made to
produce The consequence was that
people have come in great numbers
from the farming communities of the
East and Middle West to settle on
these lands, and then when they ar
rived here, found instead of cheap
agricultural lands all ready and await
ing the pillow, they must settle on lands
which were covered with stumps and
underbrush, which would require
some little time to clear, and would
add considerably to the initial invest
