The Grazing Problem.

Discussing the grazing problem in the
southwest. a problem resulting from the
wasteful methods of the early settlers. H.
A. Jastro. president of the American Ma
t.onal Live Stock Association. said the
cattlemen are at last reused TO the fact
that better methods must be followed or
their business will be ruined. Some plan
of government control. however. would
be necessary in order TO secure to stock
men a permanency In their business
which they do not now. nor can they ever
enjoy under our present land laws. Mr.
Jastro advocated, as a remedy for evil
which menaces an industry valued at

under which public lands withdrawn for
purposes of forest protection are now be-
ing restored to their .ormer splendid con-

That the Pacific Northwest and

which is pouring into the Rogue river

not difficult to discern by those who
have been here for even few weeks.

marvel at its productivity, while the

A HEALTHFUL CLIMATE
AND A FERTIL SOIL

The Courier, desiring TO secure the
opinion Of men who have recently
come into the country regarding i'm
pressions as to soil. climate and pro
ductions of this part of Oregon, ap-
preached G G. Coutant who came
here with his invalid wife during
March last and who since his arrival
has made . study of the country by
visiting many sections Of the Rogue
River valley. He visited this city fol-
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 1886-1927, 1908-05-15

The first time last November ON which
occasion he became acquainted with
some Of our citizens which led to hi.
return here this spring.
Yes, " said Mr.. Coutsnt "I car
say word for this country for it has
been good to me and mine. My wife
has greatly improved in health and the
whole family are glad they came.
Like the country? That don't half ex-
press it, for there can be no more
healthy locality, nor is there a place
where the sun shines brighter or
where the people have greater cause to
be happy and contented. All this has
been said regarding health, let us
speak OF the producing capacity of
the country
1t can be said that nearly every
farm product will reach perfection on
the rich lands of this section. We
are told Of men 'Ye shall know them
by their fruits, so these rich val.
leys are and will continue to be known
by their fruit. The vi and the
tree will make the husbandman wax
fat. Enough has already been accom-
plished to convince the world gener-
ally that the apple and the grape
reach here their highest perfection and
they command the highest prices
in our home and foreign markets.
II have been asked il anyone and
everyone can grow grapes and apples.
always reply. yes; after they learn
how. Observation teaches me that
fruit growing must be learned. The
man who would succeed in it must be
a worker and to such q man success
comes as matter of course. These
things were not new to me when /
came to Grants Pass, but what have
seen here convinces me anew that
fruit growing demands intelligence of
the first order, and if men will learn
the business, success will crown their
efforts. Nature has produced here
the soil. climate and surroundings
