wALLA WALLA SHOULD COME
FIRST.

Editor Statesman:
I have been very much gratified TO
note that for the past few days some
Of our fellow towEsmen have. been
using the columns Of your valuable
paper in an effort to- demonstrate to
the public that the first duty of good
citizen is loyalty TO his home city. his
county and state.
1t Is well known fact that in many
Of the eastern: states men of wealth.
and financial power have had to look
beyond the borders Of their native
state for invest1nents-they have
sought and found profitable and vaiu-
able properties. not only in the United
States. but their money has been a po-
tent factor II. other lands. But let US
stop and consider a moment the ca
reers Of these men, and to man We
viii and that the foundation OF their
wealth was built on home soil. In ter
ritory where they were familiar.
where they knew every inch Of grour.d
una accepted no CHANCES LII "hoC0t
schemes. hundreds Of miles away.
where they had no possible opportu-
nifty for personal investigation. Do you
suppose for a minute that men Of
brains, men Of affluence. would listen
to the pipe dream" Of the we'll trained
agent of some questionable corpora
tons about to develop sugar planta-
ton or a stock jobbing rubber scheme
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-01-24

Members of the Walla Walla Hortt-
cultural society are to be congratulated
for the energy they are displaying to
make the annual meeting of the state
society the success that it is sure to
be. Several hundred fruit growers
from all over the northwest will gather
in general should join with the fruit
men in making the convention one OF
the most interesting and profitable
ever held in the state.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-01-24

of which 2S,132,000 acres were planted
TO winter wheat, and 100000 acres to
spring wheat. The average of winter
wheat for the entire country was 14.6
bushels per acre, while the spring
wheat yield was only 1872 bushels to
the acre. Washington had $4,000 acres
of winter wheat, that averaged 29.5
bushels per acre. and 100000 acres of
spring wheat, that produced 24.5 BUSH
els per acre. In oats, the United States
had 1885,, 900 acres, giving an average
|of 231 bushels per acre. while Wash
ingtor had 10000 acres producing 55.5
bushels per acre. The barley crop of
the country was made up of 6,44S.000
|acres. and the average for the entire
farms was 23.S bushels. while Wash
ington had 10000 acres. and an aver
age of 40.5 bushels per acre.
The potato crop of the United States
for 1907 amounted to 3,124,0o0 acres,
ana the average per acre was 1854
bushels. Washington had 10000 acres
planted to potatoes, and secured ar
average Of $50 bushels per acre. In the
hay fields the story was the same. The
entire country had 44,02s. 900 acres de-
voted to hay. and the harvest gave an
average of Las tons per acre. Wash
irgton had $4,000 acres in hay. and
received an average Of 2.l0 tons per
acre. And that was rot all in the hay
line. for the price for the United States
ranged S11.6S per ton. while the aver
age for Washington farmers was $l5
a ton. Under such conditions. and
with such a vast area of unocupied
land ready for occupancy. is there q,
better place for the farmer thar. in the
| big state Of Washington?
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-01-24

in Mexico. or are about to establish
colony in the land of Timbuctoo?
There are hundreds of agents OF
these so-called corporations who are
travelling from coast to coast, in city
and town, seeking those whom they
might devour. Is it reasonable to sup
pose that in this day and age, any
Legitimate enterprise that will stand
thorough investigation, that has rea-
sonable ard safe chance of success.
that is bound TO bring returns on the
investment. will go to decay for the
want of the necessary capital to pro-
mote and operate it?
Do We not know that there are mil
lions of dollars Of idle money that cap
italists are ever ready to put Into any
thing that will bring the necessary re-
turns?
To secure the endorsement Of these
men who have wide knowledge OF
conditions the world over; who have
a way for a thorough Investigation. it
must be gild-edged or they will not
touch il. Then 1t Is up to the persor.-
ality and shrewdness Of the agent 10
|seek out the smaller fry and by means
known only to those of much expert
ence and training they are successful in
inducing even many good business men
to part with q portion of their wealth..
I believe l am safe in saying that AT
least 80 out of every hundred Of these
schemes lever pay one dollar in divi-
del.ds. Occasionally by streak OF
luck. or perhaps. some honest men are
interested in IT. fairly good dividend
is realized. But the percentage is so
small does it pay to take the risk?
Would we, as sane men, 60 thou
sands Of miles away to dig for silver
when we have a gold mine right in our
OWE back yard? Who doubts the future
OF the great northwest? Consider the
possibilities of development. We know
the resources of the state Of Washing
ton and where under the sun can We
expect to find anything better? The
yield of the land in grain. fruit and
vegetables Is unsurpassed. Heretofore
it has been almost the sole production
Of the wealth Of the state. but the day
is coming when other conditions will
arise that will denand our. attention
and will give US an opportunity to re-
alize handsomely on our investments.
The population Of the state is in
