The next scene represented Jesus

said that the clearing of the lands is
imperative for the future prosperity
of Western Washington, and that their
agricultural development will be only
a logical sequence of conditions that
warrant even more progress at the
present time.
"a great portion of the things
we eat in the Puget Sound country are
imported" said Mr.. Humphrey, "es-
pecially dairy products, meats, eggs
and poultry. And yet this is the great
est dairy, poultry and live stock coun-
try in the world. Soil, climate, rain
fall, markets and every other cOntin-
gency is favorable to these industries,
and they are destined to develop in
an enormous degree in the next few
years, if the farmer and settler is
given a chance and is not hampered
with too severe handicaps. The prob
lem is, therefore. an important one
and deserving of the utmost consid-
GRAFTON and thought, for it is important
that the Puget Sound country and, in
fact, the entire Pacific Northwest sup
ply it's own markets. In this way
only can our money be kept at home,
instead of being paid out to Eastern
COIlIuuulIl6S lOT SOIu0CuluS we are
eminently fitted to supply ourselves"
The afternoon session of the conven-
ton was given over to the technical
papers and the general discussion.
These papers are published, either in
full or in part, in this issue and will,
therefore, not be referred to here. At
the end of the program, an hour or
so was given over to the discussion
of various subjects and the bringing
out of new ideas from those who were
in attendance. This was by far the
most beneficial part of the entire pro-
gram, and many new ideas were sug-
gested that will undoubtedly furnish
substance for progress in the solving
of the problem of economical clearing.
Men took the floor who have battled
against the big stumps on their own
land with AK and powder and who
thus appreciate more intensely the
enormity of the problem and the i'm
