The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-02-01

it's great industrial development, and be the homes
of great and prosperous people, these lands must
not be allowed to remain idle and unproductve,
but must, so soon as the timber has been cleared
away, be placed under cultivation and made to
yield their portion of the income necessary to sup
port the rapidly growing population of the North
west.
These lands are fertile and rich, and capable OF
wonderful agricultural production. In fact, it has
been demonstrated in hundreds of instances that
the ogged-off lands of the West Slope of the Cas-
cades aided by the beneficial climate of the North
Pacific coast, be made the most productive
and profitable non-irrigated agricultural lands in
the world. For berry-growing, for dairying for
the production of grains, and the raising of poul
try, they are unequaled in the United States. AS
fruit lands, they are exceled in the quality and
quantity of fruit they produce only by the
derful irrigated districts of Eastern Washington
and Oregon.
The problem of making these lands available for
agriculture is growing greater ever year, for the
lands denuded Of their forests are increasing more
rapidly than the average citizen of the Northwest
realizes. AT the present time there are thousands
OF square miles of this land which have been
ogged-off, and while portion of this has already
been put under cultivation, the great portion of 1t
is not now being utilized for any purpose and will
not be until better and more general methods
be conceived for clearing it of the stumps and
the logs which the loggers have left in their wake.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-02-01
AND IMPORTANT MOVEMENT

Several of the most important of these letters we
reproduce on this page. Many scores of others we
have not the space to reproduce, but will, never
theless, take occasion to answer in subsequent
issues of The Ranch.
We want our readers to take an intense interest
in this subject. We want them to appreciate that
out of the hundred and fifty millions of acres OF
land surface in Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
that nearly onethird of it is land that either has
been denuded of forests will be logged-off in
the years to come and that all of this land must
ultimately be cleared of its stumps and under
growth and turned into agricultural lands to sup
port many hundreds of thousands of people
We are planning a series of articles on these
subjects We are going to have stories from sucn
men as Elmer E. Johnson, secretary of the Everett
Chamber of Commerce, and the author of the Sno-
homish County Idea; J. F. Littooy, one of the
earliest advocates of cooperative clearing of log
gedoff lands and eminent authority upon hortl-
culture and agricultural subjects; Joel Shoemaker,
the agricultural editor of the Postlntell1gencer,
and long recognized authority upon the subject
of logged-off lands. We will also have articles
setting forth the best and most improved methods
of clearing the lands, including the donkey engine
ing of the logged-off lands of the West Slope.
to us how vastly important a subject is the clear
